What did she say Rad? I don't see her post.

What did she say Rad? I don't see her post.

nah - just the one she posted up above @ 1:47pm

i have lots of respect for de as she was really the one and only person who gave a shit and defended me time and time again.

have I nice tits too

without going in to a lot of detaqil-there are some who thought they owned the Pub and got their panties in a wad when they put in the subforum-it forced people to take sides

for those of us who have been Pubsters for more than 5 years it was a nice break from the warm and fuzzies-not that I am adverse to the warm and fuzzies-but we used to have an irreverent side also-and when the warm and fuzzy crowd sort of took over a lot of us either had to conform or leave-most of the old crew left-I just found my nitch-most of the warm and fuzzy crowd have taken their ball and gone home for now-I suspect most will return with a vengeance over the next couple of weeks-if not, we have survived a lot of coming and going and the Pub will survive again

Any good meltdowns today?

That sounds like a question de. I will answer yes but the pics I have are just a mere reminder of seeing the real thing.

Hey rad, ask verti WTF is up with the mass bannings of late--is it just due to bariboner being on the rag or what?

The game goes on with or without them.

I'm not singling anyone out because I honestly have no idea who left. It's too childish for me to pay close attention. My 9-year-old is even smarter than trying to cut off his nose to spite his face. Obviously this place meant a huge deal to whomever you are referring to because, as you say, they were "prominanat members of the Pub." When their "prominence" wasn't enough to control the physical layout of this place, they pulled what they thought was a power play and refused to post any more.

Problem is that, even if they are missed by some, there has been no public outcry and no threads begging them to come back. (Though my post is likely to make their allies think they better start one, lol.) Life goes on.

You know anyone so obssessed by this place that they would go bananas because a few threads were moved to the top of the Pub (not deleted mind you, only relocated) has been coming here since they left, looking for posts about how badly they are missed. It must be a shock not to find the dozen or more threads they exopected.

My question now is how long before they return? Or, do you think that, after they went to such extremes and had it blow up in their faces, will they be too embarrased to ever come back? My guess is the second one, but the power of obssession can often overcome even the worst embarrasment.
