Posted by Skye_Ann As for Therrin, just look him up and go through his past postings... Including the Archived ones. Dude was a total douche, misogynist and overall scumbag.

Bleh. Therrin was awesome

I was looking through the introduction thread and one of the first therrin relics I ever saw was him calling a female 'hot' because she was a mother. I'm sure this was a joke but it certainly drove her away from the forum.

Posted by Samurai if you took my post as combative, you're wrong. if you are all about a pissing contest, keep on trucking, pal... not with this group. There are people here are forum neutron bombs waiting to go off, mang. like others here, we're veterans of the politics board... that's a horror that you can't even begin to wrap your head around. This thread you're curious about was a minor brushfire war compared to that apocalypse. It was so awful, none of it was even archived... it was nuked in the fire of the big delete by the guy who owns this board at the urging of his staff. hehehe grow a thicker skin or stop reading into things. as for the DB, please use it... there is so much work put into it over the years. So much great photography and legwork. So few people look at in last few years and that's a shame. If I had been granted FM status, that's the first place I would land. welcome to the forum. come for the photos, stay for the people you meet.

I miss our sparring matches.

Posted by JokerSentry I liked your shit. Take that.

goody for you.
i'm not sending nudes.

Posted by Aran Above all else, the DB needs us as a community to take responsibility for our regions and start fixing them where needed. Instead of complaining about problematic locations, we need to start self policing the database. Let the mods handle removing what needs removing. We need to start adding to and correcting DB entries where we see issues, instead of just complaining about how it's all going downhill. If every explorer takes responsibility for ensuring the accuracy of just their city's part of the DB, then we'll see the DB return to glory. But until we as a community decide to fix it, nothing will ever get done.

Youre not wrong. Garbage in garbage out. And some of the "community" is the reason.

Actually all moderators have authority to fix DB issues. Problem is they don't. The DB moderator position was created to allow a person to work the DB that wasn't trusted to moderate the forum at large eg. Mike Dijital upon his return.

There are a couple of mods that still validate locations and try to clean up obvious violations but some guy in Toronto for example cant verify if Building XYZ in Atlanta is still standing or even at the listed location based on some crappy parking lot pics or a blurry interior shot. I fixed (or deleted) a shit ton of these before I resigned. Same members tend to crank out crap locations with little or bad information making the entry a worthless waste of bandwidth.

things got too ugly and awful.
the politics board should've been deleted a long time ago.

nothing good ever came from it.

sad but true.
it was bound to happen... in this age of 'social networking'. In some ways, UER has become a dinosaur, but a dinosaur I still love to come to.

you sound like a different man now Sam

(Ok I took the Railguy thread way off the rails so maybe a mod should step in and lock this)

Bullshit. I made friends there. You included knucklehead.

I know i'm literally among the newest people here, but is it within the realm of possibilities at all that a guy as new as me could eventually be a mod for the DB? I like inventory... alot...

Oh, you have no idea. It's quite a mess.

I like messes. You should take a gander at my entire life. And I'm only [REDACTED] years old...

I hear they have an opening.

You'd be perfect.

I feel like 2X is the guy at the party that hypes up the young guy to do something reckless and stupid, and then laughs at him with the rest of his friends.

Don't accept drinks from that guy.


ADDENDUM: Okay on second thought, it seems funny to imagine him being at a party at all. Maybe a strip club in Pyongyang.

What? I'm in.

Posted by Steed What? I'm in.

Me too!

Posted by Pear Me too!

Just FYI, I was invited to a culture festival in Pyongyang that I think started a day or two ago, and if I'd gone I would probably be getting drunk and high with DPR K-pop stars right now. I would've gone but there was a #metoo shakeup at my work and I couldn't figure out the right guy to ask for permission.

I had a weird dream this morning where I did travel to North Korea, over land somehow, and once I got up there I realised I hadn't told anyone to feed my cats.
