Posters you miss

[britbox]

Are they the same?

I'm glad Ann has revived this thread. I miss @JesuslookslikeBorg a lot. Also @nehmeth...maybe he'll be re-inspired with Novak back. And the endless call out to @Iona16. She was really good people.

Jllb is coming back.

Was just wondering why BB said they'd be found near one another.

Masterclass follows CD but he isn't CD.

I can't tell which is worse.

kirijax was a nice poster also, he went missing even before the schism, I guess.

The only possible explanations for all the old mods disappearing together is that they were all the same person. Mystery solved.

Don't know where you got that, but they're not all gone, so not solved? Funny mystery, of all the possible ones. For some of us, the origin mystery is why tennis.com shut us down, in the first place.

Multiple personalities would explain that.

Riotbeard, tented, Kirijax and nehmeth all gone. It's a very elaborate conspiracy by a single person to monopolize the moderating of the forums. They (and by that I mean he or she) managed to push @britbox out, but in the end good always prevails.

I have cracked the code.

You clearly don't know who was doing the pushing.

I really regret making the original joke based on how seriously you seem to be taking this.

The changes across the years haven't been easy on any of us, behind the scenes.

If you find CD then you'll usually find Masterclass close by.

I don't think so. I still post on Camelot sometimes. It's not as active as it used to be though. When I was coming up with poems like mad & posting them there were new posts by others all the time I had to look after typing my poems. I've seen Clay a few times but haven't seen Masterclass for ages. I just meant that Clay & Divine haven't been here for ages.

I guess not. It can be hard work adapting to change & making changes. Some changes are easy to make & adapt to, though.

Kieran, Nehmeth, tented, huntingyou, claydeath, billie, iona16 -- these and many more are missed.
Hope they consider coming back to this board so that we can be richer with their thoughts.

More conversations would be nice especially good, fun & interesting ones.

Billie and Nehmeth drop by again now. Nehmeth had a hand in getting this going originally and Billie put in plenty of shifts when the board split up before it came full circle and back together.

I just saw CD got banned again from MTF (menstennisforums). He's bagging me on Nekro's new tennis board for some reason. Like I have anything to do with MTF..... The only thing MTF has got going for it is numbers. I never liked that board, VBulletin and the billion pop-ups and ads. Basically, as the numbers decrease, which is inevitable with social media for all forums, they keep chucking more and more ads on to try and keep the revenue going. It's like trying to Find Wally to find the window to make a post.

Anyways, regardless of his rantings, I'll always have a soft spot for CD. He used to be a stayer. He used to get killed on the old tennis.com boards years ago by Crack, Roger, NC and the boys... really shredded and he still kept coming back for more. Well, he was a stayer until Moxie pulled him to pieces on this board in the early days just through simple debating about his failed predictions... (he used to continually bump up posts where he got a prediction correct and let the bad news sink) - He had a hissy fit and did a bunk with his tail between his legs.

By that time he'd lost his sense of humour and become some sort of caricature he'd evolved on MTF and had his small tag team of disciples. Moxie always had a much bigger pair of cajones than CD. She'd stand her ground, debate on logic rather than wild self-promotion and he couldn't hack it.

People around at the time might remember that amid lots of noise, that the conditions of his return were to make him a moderator and put his name in lights at the top of the board... Amongst raucous laughter, It was a unanimous "Bye CD". Kind of a good decision considering when he was a moderator at tennis4you he had a hissy fit and deleted 30,000 posts after somebody called him a few names.

Will MTF be better off without him? Based on the demographic of that board, probably not. It's probably their loss, but in the great scheme of things, it's still a big board and it's just a drop in the ocean.

He's probably a good fit for Nekro's board though... came along at the right time. Nekro's actually done a half decent job with his new venture, so although we don't gel and we kicked him out of here, I kind of like people having a go... especially with forums, as it's a tough ask these days.

Of old posters I miss Kieran. As ridiculously biased and misguided as he could be, he had good wit and if it wasn't about Roger or the bad luck of Rafa he was reasonable...ehh who am I kidding? it was always about Roger and the bad luck of Rafa. I think @Federberg was the only one that rattled him good!

I also miss Didi and Momo. I feel like they only had brief stops here. Also the Shoelace doesn't post enough anymore. Cool chap even if he roots for the wrong side in nearly every sport

Also, how the hell was Nekro capable of opening up his own forum? That's a scary thought.

Actually mate - Kieran was the only guy who could really pull my chain properly on any forum ever... and I've been on a few, but I liked him. I speak with him on Facebook now and again, not usually about tennis. But yeah, I think the reverse was true with FBerg who could really pull Kieran's chain. Swings and roundabouts!

Momo did drop in once but was tied up with tennis coaching last time I checked in with him. Yeah, where is @brokenshoelace - haven't seen him for a while. Probably my favourite poster when it comes to tennis analysis. Momo was good with that too. @BackhandDTL

Heh, I never knew Kieran irritated you. I dont remember you two going at it much. Him and FB on the other hand...those were fun to watch lol. FB really didn't have to do much to trigger Kieran, it was weird.

I don't know if irritated is the word. I liked him. It always seemed more like fencing with him.
