Rumors abound regarding the possible buyout of FST by Billy Dean. It raises some serious questions.

If Billy Dean Buys FST, will the natives be revolting?

Would the Geppers choke on their cheeseburgers?

Would Sam^4 be allowed back?

Will J’P embrace the new admin or will he get his coat, thank someone for the fish and say TTFN?

Would the moderating team resign en masse?

Would internet.news be allowed back?

Would FC come back?

Would I be a mod? :D

I would start from scratch and do a Walmart "rollback".

I would:

unban everyone. I have said that I see why people that were banned got tossed out but that doesn&#39;t EVERYONE can&#39;t start fresh. If they go down the same path though...............

reset everyones post count

reset the count for stars to their original status

make Lounge, Talk Club, Funny Stuff, Sportsworld, and WN&E posts not count

moderate spammers more in places other than the Off-Topic sections and put Sportsworld in the Off-Topic section btw

implement an easy way for this site to make money (I can&#39;t believe this site

doesn&#39;t turn a profit with all the traffic) no porn, no spam btw

moderate mods who aren&#39;t moderating fairly (why alienate your potential customers?)
help coordinate FST UK meetings and FST USA meetings.

organize categories and topics better.

make it known that if you are banned you reeeeeeaaally fucked up. You disregard the board and it&#39;s members and you&#39;re outta here. I&#39;ll ban your whole ISP :lol: :lol: I&#39;m pretty fair minded and would not need a poll to ban someone.

make avatars bigger and make sigs slightly smaller or leave the same

have really cool skins (including a black background)

have contests

make folks who reeeeally contribute (always helpings out, and making guides and such) Forum Stars (probably have a different name. They obviously care enough to constantly and consistently answer questions. I&#39;d give them some power.

I&#39;d ban everyone who had ever disagreed with me.

Make posts only count in the lounge.

Make posts in &#39;Everything About The Board&#39; count as minus posts.

Ban sigs that contain computer specs.

Delete the "Funny" section.

Get rid of all smilies.

Rename the place "Withcheese&#39;s Wonderful Wonderland of Wonder."

Change the colour scheme to something that hurts people&#39;s eyes to read.

Unban Sam...then ban him again for a laugh.

Reward members for making me laugh.

Change the word filter so all swear words come out as &#39;gep&#39;. (ie twat=gep, wanker=gepper).

Change the word filter for my amusement in others ways as well.

Merge Hardwareworld with Musicworld for a laugh.

From the thread I read over at Cheese&#39;s forum, Billy Dean is no more going to buy this forum than I&#39;m going to buy Peru.

BD mentioned flippantly that he might buy FST -- to detract from the fact that he was losing an argument. A couple of people called him on it, stating that a guy who said he&#39;s been unemployed since 1971 is highly unlikely to be able to afford the high asking price. Subsequent to that BD didn&#39;t want to appear as if he didn&#39;t have the necessary funds, so perpetuated the facade.

I think perhaps this thread was created so some Aussies could have a laugh :o

As I said over at Le Forum de Fromage, I think it would be absolutely brilliant if Billy_D was to buy this forum and I hope that he does. I really mean that.

However as he is really just a sad fantasist who creates a persona he would like people to think is the real him then I think it highly unlikely.

Perhaps Lyndon Larouche, his mentor and intellectual leader would help him out with a small investment. It would only be buttons to him. After all of the work BD has put into supporting Larouche&#39;s insanity I think it only fair.

BD to buy this Forum, gets my vote every day of the week

J&#39;pol, as you enter mr. Larouche &#39;s alleged insanity, could you be so kind to

elaborate on that, or at least supply sufficient links doing so; esp. on the matter

of said insanity.

That, unfortunately is the problem.

He supplied this chap as a source of intelligence when he used to post here. He has also supplied him as a source at the R&C Forum.

I think it fits in with the whole fantasist thing that the poor chap has going on. However I don&#39;t know if Larouche is a cause or a symptom.

Either way it is unfortunate. I only hope that he does not influence other (more malleable) minds down the same path.

Well well, JP has come out of his shell, Billy does it again. :lol:

l really feel sorry for you sometimes JP, you poor pathetic little thing you, you really are obsessed with me, aren&#39;t you? Ah, diddums, did Billy show you up to be the idiot you really are? Burst your bubble did he? :lol: :lol:

The Lyndon thing was funny last year when it was fresh, but now it just makes you look pathetic. For anyone who&#39;s interested ... last year l posted an article ... JP found the same one on a Larouche site, so called me a Larouchite, which is OK, l&#39;d rather be called that than a catholic ... :lol: Maybe his supposed links to Irish terrorism gave him the jitters? Maybe he thinks Billy is stalking him about his past?

But enough about Jim, l know he badly needs the publicity after all the bad press he got from here for posting crap. And of course, if he really had anything to say to me he could come over to Rikk & Cowsys and say it, instead of signing in with proxies and lurking ... but, as BB said, he&#39;s just a coward really, hiding behind his computer like the sad little man he is. :(

As for buying this place ... if l wanted it, which l don&#39;t, l&#39;d buy it. l did consider it, not at Rookies rip off price though. The problem is this place is not only going downhill fast, but costs heaps to run, and to be quite honest, you&#39;re not worth it. :lol: And wankers like manker, who is also not a member of R&C&#39;s, and knows nothing, just proves my point. Losing an argument? Really? Tosser&#33;

We have a section at R&C&#39;s about this forum, and why not? A lot of the members here are members there, the two forums are linked. And as you can see from the infamous Mod Chat tapes, this forum has plenty to say about ours too, the difference is, we say it out front, they say it behind our backs. :o It&#39;s no secret that l had run-ins with some of the mods here, they refused to follow their own rules whilst insisting that l did, and looking around now, l can see the same things are going on still. When respected mods from here join other forums and vent their disgust at what&#39;s going on here it gives me a warm glow, because it re-enforces what l&#39;ve said all along. You set rules and you stick to them. You make a promise and you keep it. ;)

It&#39;s good to post here again though, maybe l&#39;ll get into the habit again, l&#39;ve got a few names to use, not this one tho, Prat Faced will see to that, another one obsessed with Billy. :) Is he still a mod? It&#39;s hard to tell lately, isn&#39;t it? If the rumours about Jetje resigning are true, this place really is losing out. Nikki won&#39;t be far behind. :rolleyes:

What happened to The Moderation, by the way? That&#39;s becoming an OK forum, l hope it isn&#39;t finished. :unsure:

Bye, bye for now ... Billy Dean. :lol:
Thanks for that. However it may take me a wee while to wipe the bile away from my monitor.

Had you posted an article then your argument may had some value. However what you did was provided the Executive Intelligence Review as a source of information which you used when forming your "opinions". After having told us that some of your opinions were fairly radical. You also told us that you subscribed to the EIR, which is why I had a look into what it was. As ever don&#39;t let the facts get in your way tho&#39;.

Oh and you have also posted links to his work in support of your arguments, at your own forum. As you are well aware I read it and find it very amusing.

The funniest thing tho&#39; is that you have an area of your forum dedicated to this one, because you were fed up with people at your forum posting about here. However it is only you an IN who keeps that part going.
