I think I just gained some more respect for our favorite resident non-Hoya. Nice work, hifi.

For the record, I absolutely didn't deserve to get banned at the Bucknuts board, although I have very little interest in socializing with those hicks anymore anyway. I think I was part of essentially a blanket ban at some point after the title game. I didn't rub anyone's noses in it at all. In fact the only thing I did which could even be considered questionable by reasonable individuals was respond to various excuses.
I got sick and tired of both the "51 days off " along with the "you didn't even belong there anyway" arguments. I pointed out, in firm but polite terms my opinion.
In all seriousness, Bucknuts and the Miami Canes boards are the only ones I have been booted from ever. I honestly don't think I deserved it there either, but I did have it coming. I mean, when you register with the name "UMCanesBlow," I think you come into the game already knowing that your days are numbered.
Tennessee, HalfSU, Jawja etc... treat things like banning as they should. And I would be more than remiss to not add you all to that list as well. I think you do some quirky things like locking threads for very little reason, but at least you are consistent and from what I have seen, no one abuses their powers.
Lastly, I think the worst thing I ever said at the Bucknuts site was in response to their incessant blaming of the loss to the layoff. I pointed out that we had a 37 day layoff as well and that as best as any of us could tell, if we had an extra two weeks to prepare we would have in all likelihood won by even more.
In all honesty, that isn't something any of us would want to be on the receiving end of, but worthy of ban? I think otherwise.

By the way, thanks for the memories!
I had forgotten some of these gems.
In all honesty, which of these comments do you think warranted being banned?

High Fidelity Gator, an honest question. How do you find the time to do all of this posting? From what you say, it sounds like you post on not just one or two but lots of message boards for lots of different schools. Doesn't this require a ton of time?

Actually, most of my posting is done during the down time at work. That is one of the joys of retail and owning your own business. Unfortunately I don't get a lot of true vacation time and that working on Saturday thing really bites.

Getting kicked off an OSU board is definitely a badge of honor. Well done, hifi.

Unfortunately I don't get a lot of true vacation time and that working on Saturday thing really bites. Well, I don't know how successful your business is but I have to imagine that it would be even more successful if its owner didn't post thousands upon thousands of messages on other people's message boards. Hey, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe whatever you are selling is in such high demand that you don't need to pay much attention to it. In which case I might be asking for a job.

I am not giving you any promises, but send me a resume' and I will talk to ... well ... let me rephrase that ... I will place it on the very top of the "IN" box. In all seriousness, I don't think you would work for what we pay.

Just for kicks, I went and double checked. Yep, I am still in "time-out."

C'mon porter you know those buckeyes can take a long break and play a game like the gators and expect to be sharp. I heard that big gator boosters paid off the officials, Troy Smith was sick with the consumption, we gave that fast wideout a shot in the pile like in they did in M.A.S.H. to Spearchucker and lastly it wasnt fair having all those fast fellas playing D for UF.

Okay, if we're at the point where hifi and his fellow Gator are having dialogue on our boards, can we ban them both? Seriously...

I hate the OSU as much as anyone, I really do, but I don't see how getting kicked off their board makes hifi a hero.
hifi, maybe you are accepted on the Gator boards, but wherever else you go, it seems that all you do is (other word for pee) people off. What matters here isn't why this is the case (which you seem not to be able to comprehend), but that it is undeniably a fact. While I don't endorse kicking posters off for being annoying in every facet of their interaction with the rest of the board, I also think that you should recognize the situation and simply leave. If GU plays FU, your temporary presence will become relevant, but then you should pack your bags and move on again.
As for all your free time, might I suggest advertising to attract new customers? Just a little marketing strategy tip brought to you for free from Georgetown University.

Holy crap...I didn't even see the other Gator poster. Please go home Stephen. Please go home Porter. Who knows, maybe Mrs. Noah will be waiting for you.

I don't like Hifi Gator, but since we are in the Final Four and playing Ohio State, I think we should all go over there and get banned for just bringing up casual observations about how great Georgetown is in every post and never leave the board
