Where is BS when you need him?

So, in the past few weeks, we have:

  • Blown up 30 pages on a thread solely dedicated to the art of NOT spanking it,
  • Debated whether a straight man should drive a Mini Cooper,
  • Debated the merits/demerits of straight men getting monthly facials, mani/pedis, and professionally-done hair,
  • Learned that some people would rather die than not have their bidet,
  • Learned that (seemingly) the majority of the AF population still enjoys anime.

Am I missing something here? I think we need our manly man back. He can pump some testosterone into our board. (He doesn’t even cry at Old Yeller.)

This would have been the golden age of Black Swan. Too bad, it’s a shame really. I’m laughing just thinking about what he might have posted.

#3

In the last remnants of my humanity… I do wonder what has become of the Black Swan… I met him and a school friend of him on a rainy day… we drank a lot of whiskey… shot some pool… he’s a stocky guy and a stand up gentleman… I hope he’s okay…

#4

What happened to him? Did he get murdered by his kayacking partner?

#5

My thoughts also.

#6

Last time we heard from BS he got off of Propecia, shaved his head, and “became alpha.”

Although I believe the influx of lame posters such as Greenman72 and krnyc and ridiculous topics that have to do with fapping have something to do with it.

I might be joining him in the near term…

#7

Are you telling me that Black Swan is cooking Meth?

#8

So that’s how fame feels like!

#9

BS went out in a blaze of glory.

#10

stop. wait. don’t go.

#11

Last I remember people were claiming he wasnt being fair with posts he nuked…I remember asking him why he nuked one of mine and he responded politely and that was that…but then it turned into a huge thing with other peeps…so he resigned his post as moderator and his participation has declined since.

#12

^Yeah, I just looked at one of his old posts, and he doesn’t have “Boardmember” next to his name anymore.

Boardmember or not, I enjoyed having him around. Hope he comes back to see us.

#13

I don’t think that was the thread. I can’t find it (damn you search function) but it was really just a flame war with another poster. It got a little…unbecoming of a mod. He resigned and is taking a break. Dollars to donuts he’ll be back soon enough.

#14

It got heated in the no fap thread.

#15

hopefully he’s back sometime. his blowups are one of the main reasons i come here.

#16

Agree, it was always fun when he was off his meds.

#17

Propecia’s a hell of a drug.

#18

I just saw that. Page 8 or so.

In order to be fair, I kinda have to agree with him. 30 pages worth of jerkin’ the gherkin’ is a little much, especially for a website that is (in theory) dedicated to the sharing of ideas and experiences for the future financial analysts of the world.

And just because he’s a moderator doesn’t mean he can’t express his opinions. He’s not a judge or a Senator or something. He just deletes posts that cross a line. And IMHO, a lot of the posts (even the ones that don’t get deleted) go too far. (Some of mine, included.)

At any rate, I miss him. I think he definitely added something to the board. It’s kinda like Alladin. When he stopped posting, AF just wasn’t quite the same.

But on the other side, Alladin and Bromion are back. (As well as Stormy)

#19

Yeah, hope he comes back. We should probably search for a new member to replace him. Chad asked me about that and I never got back to him: partly because I got distracted and partly because when I came back to the topic, I was curious how things would look without his involvement. Glad to see that his presence was valued, given all the crap that people threw at him.

i thought he did a good and conscientious job. I tend to do things more quietly; I am glad he was more confrontational, when it was necessary.

^I vote for Ohai and Higgs.

And Blake and Stormy.
