I agree with Tim. This is a valuable post. In fact,Johnsteed does put a lot of effort in his threads/posts and many of the older posters just pale in comparison.

Hey, ah... Wow. Thank you kindly chuchu59 (and tim5ny). Those are very kind words. Let's remember that "johnsteed" would never have chosen Casinomeister.com without that ol' guard in place. I ah, wouldn't want to polarize myself into oblivion by disrespecting the older posters. It could get REAL ugly. Nevertheless, big thanks!

I figure my avatar is in black & white, my postings will look too pale. I have to compensate for that somehow...

I miss Hoffman's screenshots!

Hey!!!! I suggested that last week, that JohnSteed should win an award...never thought of the MVP (Most Valuable Poster). Very good Tim, lol. Anyway, JS has my vote, hands down. I don't know how he keeps track of all this stuff.

[paul02085]

Me too. Steed gets my vote for MVPoster.

[tim5ny]

Sounds like it's pretty much unanimous!! Johnsteed deserves the MVP award.

[chuchu59]

Ditto!

Hello fellow forum members!


I thought I would get the ball rolling with some of...

"Those who've been banned"

Here's a short-list:


- MUSTbet - Spammer/violation of posting rule 1.3


- Gregamble - "a"-hole spammer


- markizu - 'Nuff said (go to thread NOW)


- esquirexx - My personal favorite, somehow eluded us into making it up to 82 posts (Golden Palace makes his fastest payouts list... moaahahahaha!!!)


- "caruso" - 1 month (as I recall)


- "tdoggy" - 2 weeks (as I recall)


***

A short-list of those...

"I thought FOR SURE would have been banned but weren't"

They are:


- expertofpoke - Made it to 7 posts and vanished (and my guess is he/she would have been zapped into cyberspace just a little bit longer... my guess )


- Elscrabinda - Nothing personal, just a wee bit controversial at times


- Vesuvio - Ditto (from what I can see, has been gone for some time)


*Ronald Reagan's famous words, "You can run, but you can't hide."


Sidenote: Since joining, I always thought FOR SURE I was going to get knocked-down a couple of times by caruso, but I was initiated (into Casinomeister.com, and not as harshly as others) by incumbent firestarters Vesuvio 1st and then Elscrabinda 2nd. Thank you gents! And thank you for keeping people on their toes.

Sidenote II: Doctor Carlos of Panama (mysterious forum member) made great use of bold print while posting (FYI). We should remember how this particular forefather paved the way for the rest of us over here at Casinomeister.com.

Sidenote III: The white color doesn't work-out so well (white-on-white). If you can't read those words above, they say "Ronald Reagan".

Adding to my list of...

"Forum members who came and left all-too-early"

They would be:

- sal monella - not seen since July 26th, thus being WAY over the expired date...


- vinnybono - 3-and-out


- jinxface - 5-and-out


- expertofpoke - 7-and-out and making two lists


***


Now a short-list of...

"Those who've 1-and-out'd us with their presence"

.


They would include:

- salcom

- golob

- Lestec

- ohioplayer

- rtmlam

- roryjc

- akirca

- steadman



Trivia: Can you guess which thread both salcom AND goldo appeared and disappeared in after posting back-to-back? I'll give the winner "4", that's right... "4" of my rep. power points, for the 1st person to get it right.

What ever happened to...

"tunisianswife"?

She hasn't been spotted here since Aug/'05? Anyone know why? Like Bruce Hamilton, she was putting-up quite a few posts here for some time.

P.S. Thank you for your kind words everybody. It's very much appreciated.

Two of the regular posters that I recall have not posted for some time are JPM and SW2003. Hope everything is fine with them.

[jetset]

JPM in particular is sorely missed - he was a knowledgeable and balanced contributor here.
