Exit Left - Do Not return

[Henz]

Well, I was glancing around on the other site and came upon a topic that is of great interest to me. A guy name Tucker is in the same delimma that I have been in, concerning rental boats. He is torn between the 23' Albury and 23' key largo..Anyways, after being tossed out 6 months ago or better from dat board, I figured that I could create a new user name etc etc..So I did and got on the new board jsut to cotnact this dude to caht about the boat..Luckily I got a PM to him. Anyways, going back on the site a few minutes ago BAM! no longer can I access..Oh well... Not that I give a flying leap about that board but jsut trying to help a dude out...:cool:

[gummy67]

Henz, How do you kicked out?

[HALF-A-HAMIAN]

By asking simple questions or giving straight-forward answers. Depends on the Moderators metabolism at the time.

Gigi, since it's inception, the Forum seems to have generated a huge feeling of insecurity on the AMB. You get poofed if you include the title "Dr. Ralph" or "Abaco Forum", as well as being labeled a trouble maker.
When you come right down to it, they really are different. AMB seems to want to be a straight-forward, Abaco info site.
AbacoForum.com is highly entertaining, and fixes my Abaco jonesing like no other, IMHO.
I've been a bad, bad girl too, or so I have been told.

What is kind of funny, is that they are wishing him Happy Birthday today, so the poof magic must not work in the birthday catagory....LOL!

[Abacoparrott]

If you guys really are concerned that folks need straight forward info such as that given on this board then there IS a way for you to help them get it. Most of those folks on the other board do not know that this one exists. Before you make your return visit to Abaco, order an Abacoforum t-shirt from this site and proudly display it on your massive, hairy chests (only massive if ladies)while in Abaco. Other visitors will see it and inquire as to the source. This is your time to shine! Become a supersalesperson!
opps, I'm gettin' carried away agin'..........:D :D ken

[BahamaAngie]

I saw Dr. Ralph's birthday on the AMB and I wasn't even touching that one! I would have figured it would have been deleted.

[SamFamAustin]

Me no see-um. I've got a Happy Birthday Trekuk or something, no DrRalph. But anyway, my druthers are over here and not with the Giant Spanking Machine in the Powder Blue Bathroom. :rolleyes:

And err, Ken, are you trying to say you have a massive hairy chest with girlie Zoobs? :D

-thams

[culp]

Um...not a good visual.:eek:

[Abacoparrott]

Er...a...Sammie......no girlie Zoobs but it IS more massive than I would like at this age in my life.....I'll leave the Zoobs to Patti, 'Babe, Jeanna, Pat, Tina, Angie, Carol, and all the other GGCGG ..............:D ken

[Marty]

I don't have the massive hairy chest, but I am working up a good set of man-boobs.....put on the winter weight a little early this year...

[Patty&Rudi]

Angie - they did lock the comments section on the "other" board, when I went to wish Dr. Ralph a happy and, well, to see how petty they might really be!

[Marty]

OK, I'm waiting for my boot in the ***** from the other board. A first timer posted some questions and I replied with a suggestion to buy a Dodge guide and take a look at drralph.com. I even spelled it out so it wouldn't get ***'d out. Of course the entire post was deleted. I just posted an angry relpy. Probably won't last there either. I don't get it. Dr. Ralph's page has tons of extremely valuable info for first timers and others. It's sad that they even censor PM's. It's not like I'm trying to take one of their posters away, I browse both boards myself. Isn't the point of both boards to share info about Abaco to all who want it??

It was funny Marty, even after a harmless birthday wish thread... the moderators promptly locked it. For whatever reason, they find Ralph and his information extremely threatening to their way of thinking and existence. They pick and choose what they want deleted, sometimes not even following the rules that they have published. They are so afraid of their members wondering. It kind of reminds me of events back in the days of the Cold War.

[coolchik]

Actually, Ralph's site is listed under articles and trip reports on the main page. So anyone that takes the time to do a little research outside of the forum will see it. And there is a "Thanks to Dr. Ralph" on the Welcome page.

[SamFamAustin]

You ain't earned your Dolphin Pin, Flamingo Award, or Blue Marlin Patch unless you've been blasted off the airwaves a few times over yonder, Marty. It is distressing at one level but I now find it almost comical, so pay it no mind. Can you imagine talking about hairy versus bald Man-Zoobs over there, or even shaving them? :eek:


Dolphin Pin: this is for diving or snorkeling in a very unusual manner such as a snow drift; usually awarded with large amounts of rum
Flamingo Award: getting caught nekkid on a beach or inside somebody else's house might qualify, but this is the romantic one for the gals, or for the gals to laugh at the mens
Blue Marlin Patch: catching a real fishie is nice but you can qualify for extra points by Photo-Shopping Ken Parrot water skiing behind one

[Marty]

CC, I saw that. I wonder if it is on purpose or if they just forgot about it. We'll see if it disappears now that you mentioned it. We all know they drop in here to check on us.

Sorry if I'm getting b!t@hy. It's been a bad week. I'm going to have to work on some of Sammie's awards. It's not snowing here, but we do have quite a bit of mud in the backyard right now...hmmmm....

[Henz]

glad to see that my rant thread is still going. :)

[Patti Puzo]

It's a worthwhile rant Scott. Happy Friday!:)

[Henz]

thanks! I thought it was too! Bleepin-bleep..bleep!!!

[Marty]

I love being able to vent somewhere. Saves my wife and co-workers the agony! Thanks!

[SamFamAustin]

Let it all hang out there man ... WAIT, PLEASE DON'T!!!!!!

[Marty]

Don't get me started....

If I can get everyone out of the copy room, I'll sit on the scanner.

[Patty&Rudi]

So, I am sitting here eating a slice of Key Lime Pie (I am in training for Vernon's in 15 days) and reading this, Patty...
and I get to this like above - Dr. Ralph and his...
and since I can only scroll down with one hand (the other one busy sticking Key Lime pie in my face) -- my brain fills in:

Ralph and his ILK!
:rolleyes:
Then I read what YOU had written. Ralph and his INFORMATION.

Oh well.

Marty, it's kinda like we were married for several years, then went through an ugly divorce. They were always conservative in terms of what they allowed to be posted, but it's gotten extreme in the past year. At last count we have about twenty members who have been banned from the AMB, mostly for referencing the Forum or sending emails or PMs about the Forum to other AMB members. Here we have no problems talking about the AMB, allowing our members to share info about the AMB or referring people to the AMB, and so far the sun has come up each morning. Who knows?:rolleyes:

[Abacoparrott]

Well Ralph, our sun might come up each morning but I'll bet this group has a little "moonshine" sittin' round too! Sammy, Sammy????:D :D ken

[SamFamAustin]

I used to make the best stump juice this side of Arkansas. Let the moon shine, baby, I'm with ya there. Ever notice how sometimes the moon just seems to disappear? This stuff is THAT good. Every gal looks like Mandy, too. :cool:

Anyone have a good shot of Ken?
I can give it a shot, though I bet Sandy could do better. But I've done a few PS classes (and need a few more...)

Hey Sammie, you forgot one! It's the Dr Ralph Commemorative Citation: Tinkling in the most unusual vessel not intended for that usage

Private messages are read and censored? Is that a joke?:confused:

I've got a good story about moonshine...my old bubby Bill, who taught me how to ride a horse, made moonshine, and would bring it out it on our winter rides thru the desert. He would always stop behind a scrub bush and say "Ready for an eye-opener?" It was our routine. One day a kid- out of nowhere- joined us. Bill stopped, asked me about having an eye-opener, and the kid said. "Is something wrong with your eyes? Bill said...yeah...this is medicine for her eyes. He winked at me, and we kept riding.

Months later I was riding by myself in the desert, and here comes this kid on bareback again out of nowhere. He says "How are your eyes?" I said they were fine...why do you ask? Completely forgot about the moonshine until the kid reminded me I had been taking "medicine". Oh yeah, my eyes are fine now.:)

[SamFamAustin]

Wow you know I really like the real stories. That's beautiful, and thanks! ;)
I almost can see the picture ... :)

It may have been by a default scan, or one of those techie terms, but I've had at least three PMs censored and two deleted, with a PM from a mod telling me I should know better. Also been put in the time-out corner, so I could only read posts as a "guest"!:cool:

Glad you appreciated it.
I think you would have loved Bill...a farm boy from New Jersey. He was an extraordinary character. Not well-read or educated, but was a jack of all trades kinda guy.And lots of laughs.:D
