What would swaylocks be like if you took the top 20 posters and banished them from the site ?
Would they would be cyber Ronin running free from surf site to surf site…like rats running from a sinking ship?
Better ?
Worse ?
No difference ?
BTW The rat surfing is the best stuff I’ve seen in years,I’m still laughing …LOL !
Hi Herb -
By “Top 20 posters” do you mean posters with greatest number of posts? Most shots at imports? Most number of boards made? Most “Aloha” spirit?
Could get kind of subjective without some sort of definition.
Hello John,
How bout the most popular ?
You want to see rats scurrying delete the archive and make the top 20 answer every question all over again.
OK. Well, it was a tough call, but I just deleted all the archives.
And from now on, every question will be answered “All over again.”

Ok, well we might as well start with this one.

Sorry, couldn’t resist.
also, all users will be named Pete, unless they have multiple personalities, in which case they will be named RePete.

classic! lol!
Actually I think I’ll volunteer for banishment if the mods would care to do the deed.
this can be a big drain on mindspace and focus when there’s so many more important things to get done in life and work.
When my brother and I finally give up on this fantasy of playing around with petro-chemicals and power tools and throw every thing related to it away, alot of folk we know will be very happy. An actually things weren’t really all that bad when we bought our stuff used or off the rack, it just didn’t last as long as we liked. The ability to create things on your own can be very addicting and the ego boost that feeds it doesn’t help as well.
Sadly I just can’t see this place ever returning back to how it was in 2003-2004 when I first came across it and maybe that’s good because alot of others who were around back then moved on too, like Noodle, Holly(Delbert Pumpernickle), Mike Jones, Tube Dog, Platty and a host of others that seem to be pushing the envelope on all kinds of things back then.
Even the compsando bunch went underground for fear of giving away their secrets to the Mr. Wrong.
A maybe it is time to move on from what’s now considered swaylocks and find something a bit more embryonic in nature again… Mike’s Grain forum still has that sense of lost innocence there, woodheads are different anyway I guess…
Based on what I’ve learned from my work dealings,
once you’ve been hacked or pick up a virus
it’s best to throw the whole thing away including your past life
and start all over from scratch again
as you’ll never truly “repair” the damage done
and they keep coming back…
Take my word…
Sway’s unbridled success on this platform called the 'Net
like everything else will be its undoing. (ex Paypal, uTube, Google, Yahoo etc etc)
It’s a natural stage of evolution here.
Too much freedom leads to anarchy which then leads to privatization…
I’d go down with bernie as long as I could still search the archives. 
Been a long time since I felt I was really contributing anything meaningful here anyway, just kind of trudging along with my, “what works, works” methods, no real innovation from my end.
At least I’ve mostly weaned myself from the erbb since my trip.
Cripes Oneula, you seem to be deep in the “sad boy club” mentality
Do you still have that Dragonboard template BTW?
Maybe something big and basic would help !
Cheers
Roy
Howzit Herb, Lets make it really interesting and when the top 20 are banished all their posts are automatically deleted from the archives. Aloha,Kokua
Over here we call it tall poppy lopping. … . generally considered to be a social disease but then again it could be just another way to harvest opium
i changed the title to Vanished because the B in Banished suggests the name William
Chh ch ch cheers
O mighty dinosaurs of Swaylock’s despair not! Just because it’s un-inspiring to you doesn’t make it less so for the pond scum like me. Without your past efforts and willingness to share your knowledge I would be a lost puppy.
Kokua your little tip with the Futures boxes and the razor blade worked great with the O’fishl leash plug. I had 3 layers of glass over the plug and there was no way the air bubble was going to come out. Next time I have to remember to saturate the plug before I lay on the glass.
Thanks again to everyone.
Herb,
Isn’t Roy a piece of work. First he whines like a woman about personal attacks, and then launches one at me in this thread, with his cute William comment. Here is my offer to Swaylocks: ‘’ IF YOU WILL BANISH ROY FOREVER FROM THIS FORUM, I WILL ACCEPT A FOREVER BANISHMENT MYSELF.‘’ See, I only piss off a few people, while Roy pisses off a great many people, so it is a net gain for the forum. I swear to God I mean it. Please do it. Imagine, no Roy! Ever again!
Well, I hate to be the one to do it but you’ve both already been warned. Thread locked by Hicksy and “time out” for both of you for 7 days.
Reason “Constant Bickering”
Just to make that clear…
