Now if he would have spelled out the word, had malice or even tried to act like a mod in public and award points to another member, maybe then he would have earned 6 points.

Long story short and with no names involved, a group of us were no longer welcome in another persons sandbox, Uncle AJ suggested we come over here and make it our home. Not everyone came right away, some tried other forums and started here late.

We built this place like a local pub that you could come and be yourself. It did not put a grade on who had what, owned how many or how much you made that year.

I think we did a great job of that and continue to improve even through growing pains.

Hope this clears it up, if you want a less edited version, PM me and I'll share.
And that just about sums it all up, guys.

Many of us here were banned from another forum....starting with yours truly!!

Daren was one of the first to follow suit.....trying to defend me. Then followed quite a few others. Their loyalty towards me was touching and embarrassing. I felt sorry that so many of them were banned from the other forum just trying to take my side.

Uncle-AJ (Adrian) invited many of us over to this forum.....and we've never looked back since May 2005!!

Cheers - JJ

No....there weren't any sheep jokes on that other forum as far as I can remember.

There are two king-sized tossers on this forum who started it all - Paulie (mailman) and that other bastid, C.J.!!!

Close JJ, but I didn't follow anything, if you remember your phone call to me, that is how I found out I was banned. By trying to log on and find out why your were banned.

So in actuality there were two of us that were shot in the dark without seeing it coming.

Do you remember the email chain we had and the subsequent leaking of those? I gotta admit, there was some funny and harsh things said on those.

But don't feel bad baldie, they say the memory is the second thing to go, at least they have a blue pill for the first thing.

Small mistake, D. On the other place, Unc was a "wanker." Here he's a "tosser." Make sure you keep the differences straight.

But, you're right. He was the tosser that dragged us rejects over here and really got this place going. Ahh, the good ol' days.

Don't really know anything about Altus. I know my father was born there, but he was raised in Texas. He had one wicked sense of humour.
