Who is The GH member who no longer posts...
Moderator: GH Moderators
Re: Who is The GH member who no longer posts...
Albi spends his days working on his thick, luxuriant facial hair and ranting about social ills on facebook. It's pretty much a full time gig.
Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

I liked Albi.
Good to hear he's keeping busy.

Albi is MC'ing my wedding in October next year, and then I assume he's moving to Byron Bay to live out the rest of his days yelling at the clouds.

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Re: Who is The GH member who no longer posts...
I did too. I wish you'd keep on laughing at McCrone in Toronto though.
Actually now that I think about it, Albi stood me up, even after I told my wife I was going out to see a man I'd met on the internet. Bastard.

Thickos was good value. Smart guy.
Re: Who is The GH member who no longer posts...
Really smart guy. I think he was a scientist of some kind, so a legit intellectual
Also a smart footy guy.

Bateman's a scientist
Re: Who is The GH member who no longer posts...
I saw Tonio the other day at the Preliminary Final or Grand Final... one of those days. I had a chat to him. He even appeared happy to talk to me!
Re: Who is The GH member who no longer posts...
Sadly, thickos left without ever explaining to anyone why he left.
I believe it could have been the nefarious influence of the AFL and the Swans. It is a sad thing for all of us.

Albi did much the same, and even though I see him quite regularly still, he never really has been able to explain why he no longer postsgreeneyed wrote:Sadly, thickos left without ever explaining to anyone why he left.

Personally, I blame Fergus and his authoritarian regime

He tells me regularly that he’s forgotten his log in, but surely that’s not an excuse?
Anyone remember that Greenbits jerk? Wonder what happened to that guy. Haha what a jerk he was

I seem to remember PigRaider_69Man having a soft spot for Frawley's Pop Tart. He possibly changed his name to get around internet restraining orders.

Thickos was a total fence sitter, but a very good poster nonetheless.

All I know, and is evidenced by this very thread, that many, many great posters have come and gone from this forum over the years
Yet the true scumbags all hang around

Not true. Both Bay 56 and Jedo-pile don't post anymore.

And like many of our favourite trolls *cough cough* Billy Walker *cough*, I wouldn’t be surprised if Bay isn’t around here somewhere. He’s already had at least two incarnations since his original get banned

Kiefer Bauer was good value too IMO.

I remember Azza being a very kind soul back in those days, before the ego boost of the photoboy thread.
Which reminds me of SOULS. I'm guessing he is working on establishing a Danny Green museum somewhere.
