You are a mixed bag to me. Your political position is atrocious. Cast in concrete. And wrong.
As said before by others...it takes a singular, and motivated, person to manage such a board. For all its faults - and I've felt the lash of his tongue and ban-hammer - GIM2 was a very-unusual place, maybe the best discussion board I'd ever found.Had Scorp gone along with me I would have only deleted my personal shit. But he was gonna let me know my place. lol
All water under the bridge and gim is soon to be no more. Nothing that happened there means jack shit in the real world. Remember gim1? It went poof. #2 will go poof.
Barnacle Bob is the used car salesman. Screw that worthless barnacle on society.Heard barnacle bob has gone ban happy. lol
Maybe pent-up emotions coming to the surface after years of holding it all in? lol
I've always hated this mo-fo's posts. I'll show him! Gonna ban his ass! Ban him forever! Pay him back for all his crazy shit! lol
Bob better hurry. March 12 is right around the corner.
Edit to add:
During my last drive by to see if I had been removed from the hall of fame I noticed that someone else wasn't there. He had only made hof within the last 2 years. Was surprised to see his name missing. Guess he got the ban?

Boot To The Skull <-- Lordy, that goes back about a quarter of a century...As said before by others...it takes a singular, and motivated, person to manage such a board.

We don't know the heat Scorpio was facing, behind the scenes. I know the lower-ranking Fed narcs watch such sites. It was Homeland inSecurity inquiries that led to the termination of the NewsMax board, 20 years ago...online, I knew Administrator 2 over there, later on his own board, for a time. (No question it was the same guy; in the last days he was linking to his own site, Boot To The Skull).
The Feebs poke around, and ask about certain posts, and essentially ask, why do you allow it?...and that's a message. We don't like it - fark that Free Speech excrement; we know who you are and you can remove that. Make it happen.
I remember those years well. The Internet was going to bring true Free Speech to the People, right? Online anarchy.
It sure hasn't happened that way.
yeah no telling behind the scenes pressures ..... i tend to withhold judgement till i know all the real facts which we will never know....he certainly doesnt owe me anything.....i do like a safe forum of people with similar mindsets to bounce things off of such as recently the (vax or not vax) discussion ...it was very hard to conversate about both in real life and online but was discussed openly at gim2 ....hopefully such things can happen hereAs said before by others...it takes a singular, and motivated, person to manage such a board.

Open discussion is welcome and encouraged here. Folks just need to abide the guidelines in being respectful to everyone.... discussed openly ....hopefully such things can happen here ...
I can prove unequivocally that he is a con artist, lying fool with a short term memory.Barnacle Bob is the used car salesman. Screw that worthless barnacle on society.
I have no doubt. That guy is definitely the shit stain on the underwear of life.I can prove unequivocally that he is a con artist, lying fool with a short term memory.
However, the reason I've registered here, and am answering your post, Goldbrix, is that you've mentioned a past friend of mine, Ponce, who I spoke with often, and learned so much from, but became disconnected to over the years.
This evening I decided to look him up, after around seventeen years, hoping that he'd still be doing, at least, one forum, but, here, I sadly find that he's no longer with us. He was a great guy who I spent hours reading and typing to, back in the day. I'd be grateful if you could enlighten me about his demise?
Thank you.
search... What gets you to believe THAT "Unidentified" photo is Ponce ?
What's tnandys handle?This is a blast from the past. I think Rich G was the host?
It's really quite difficult to put on a 'radio' show - the planning alone is daunting. Part of the problem is everyone is on the phone, invisible and communicating with each others is difficult. Talk over happens a lot.
TnAndy is of course online here.
One quote everyone has heard is:
"If you don't hold it, you don't own it." Ponce
at GIM2? TnAndyWhat's tnandys handle?
When u said he's "online here" I thought you meant pmbugat GIM2? TnAndy
Not 'here' but in the audio. He also frequents a survival forum, but I forget which one. Probably could search his handle? It's the same If I recall...?When u said he's "online here" I thought you meant pmbug

I notice many "Unidentified" in that site.

I got through the first half hour, while doing some various mindless tasks.Sure was.
Interesting show. It's 2 hours long so I listened in segments. Nothing to see, so I listened in 1 window and played around here in Bug land in a different window.
Ponce talked about his life, money, his home and a lot about survival preps. Some of the members who called in are still around. Worth a listen.
I got through the first half hour, while doing some various mindless tasks.
His security precautions and preps were elaborate. But unfortunately, he was not long for this world. Makes me wonder: Whatever became of the five years of food, of all the booby-traps...of his HOME? It wasn't clear in the first part of the discussion, but he sounded like an elderly guy with no family.
I don't know whether to call it a waste, or not. He lived well, and had some level of peace of mind. But, if the State of Oregon wound up owning his property, all those food caches, and all that hardware, went into the landfill.
apparently, Frank pulled the plug.GIM appears to be down. For the count?
I say good riddance. Got to see the true color of the gremlins running it at the end.So sad to see it go
I'm getting the OOPS page.Still up
Scorpio already was bellyaching about that.Expires On:
2023-03-12 ????????????????
It's possible that a site's web hosting plan expires before their domain name registration expires. I don't know if that is the case with GIM2, but it is possible.Expires On:
2023-03-12 ????????????????
Yeah, somethings going on. I’m getting that now too.I'm getting the OOPS page.
The database may have been yanked as the first step in shutting everything off.
Or not...time will tell.
Meantime my ALERTS bar, over there, is blowing up.Yeah, somethings going on. I’m getting that now too.
Ditto for me too. By the way how did you guys get that awesome GIM2 label? I men I might get jealous (((LOLOLOLOL)Scorpio already was bellyaching about that.
The slickster hosting company told him that, without payment, the cord would be cut 12 months from last payment. If it was not forthcoming...they didn't feel any obligation to deliver on time/credit already paid-for/rolled in.
He'd been warned, and now it's happening.
Like so much else we've lost...it was good while it lasted.
See here:... By the way how did you guys get that awesome GIM2 label? I men I might get jealous (((LOLOLOLOL)
