OT: Whatever happened to oldman87?

[DirtyRU]

Was an awesome poster... funniest on the boards IMHO. Just replied to an old thread on the women's bball board discussing his disappearance. Supposedly he's fine but did he ever return to any of the boards??? If not, wonder why. Anybody know him or seen him post anywhere lately?

 

[Knight Shift]

That guy knew a lot about furnaces. . . . .

 

[knightfan7]

I've asked on the WBB board and no one knew. Corresponded with Diana who was going to try to reach out. Never heard anything more. I believe his last posts were about having pressing issues at work so he wouldn't be around as much but that was 12-15 or so months ago.

Very happy to hear he's ok. Whew.

There are some very funny posters here but Oldman = the Gold Standard.

 

[superfan01]

Bring back oldman87

 

[DHajekRC84]

miss him too. maybe he'll come back as olderman88 (just doin my part)

 

[DJ Spanky]

#freeoldman87 is now trending on Twitter!

 

[RUJohnny99]

Banned because a bunch of whiners complained about his posts

 

[superfan01]

Really he was banned? That's a bad job if true. Guy was the man.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Banned because a bunch of whiners complained about his posts

Yet some guys here somehow get away with incessant attacks, physical threats, and not knowing, pretty much, anything they're talking about, without being banned.

 

[DJ Spanky]

He is not banned.

 

[jay_hq]

Hot pie accident.

Not gonna get into details..

Not true. Why would you say that ?

He was a snarky wise-ass in the most lovable Jersey sort of way. Definitely miss him. Funniest? Nah - that's reserved for Patrick's priceless psu pics.

Never happened unless you've got pictures.

Partrick along with Spanky and a couple others were the really funny guys I was referring to but for shear wit on just about any topic I have to go with Oldie.

You would really want to see pictures of that?

 

[RU4Real]

We never found out what he wanted on his brick...

 

[mdh2003]

... shear wit ...

There's some kind of @mildone sheep deal here, but I got nuthin.

Ok, you're on the list....

Spell checkers, not comedic.:sunglasses:

I don't know. For "nuthin", that was a good catch and pretty funny.

It's true though, @oldman87 has/had unmatched sheer wit. With just a few words, his posts could make my day. We need to bring his wrinkly old ass back here to liven up the place.

Loved the guy, he had the Floodies number

Jeeze Bac, let it go. It doesn't always have to be us v. them.

 

[RU4Real]

Jeeze Bac, let it go. It doesn't always have to be us v. them.

Also, the correct term is "Fluvver" (TM).

 

[bac2therac]

Jeeze Bac, let it go. It doesn't always have to be us v. them.

because that and his wit were his trademarks, that's all

 

[NotInRHouse]

Awful if he is banned. We often disagreed but the purge at the height of Floodie hysteria took down many a good man.

Spanky already confirmed he is not banned. See above.

Well duh. You'd have to be a real douche to ban somebody posthumously.

 

[RUJohnny99]

Do the mods send a message when someone is unbanned? Maybe he doesn't realize that Spanky lifted the ban & he can post again?

 

[Extra Point]

I hope he didn't eat Dole salad with a manufacture code starting with 'A'. At his age he might not have made it.

Agree. Not Everyone stalks the board from Twitter.

 

[MADHAT1]

He is not banned.

You just ruined a good rumor and ended the whining about it.

 

[Extra Point]

Banned because a bunch of whiners complained about his posts

John Otterstedt was also banned because of a bunch of whiners. I think it's an outrage.

 

[PhilaPhans]

I've never seen mildone and oldman in the same room at the same time.

 

[mdh2003]

I've never seen mildone and oldman in the same room at the same time.

And the names are curiously anagramic.

Hmmm...did oldie have an ovine penchant?

I want to believe.

Nope. I was on the board and happened to realize that I was unbanned. No notification.

Mods don't usually take somebody off of ban unless they made it permanent and gave it second thoughts to letting the person back. Usually a ban is in a time span (like a week, 10 days, a month, whatever). When it runs out, it runs out, and the guy is "unbanned."

Also, if he was banned under the old board format, then his ban was rescinded under the new format.

Maybe he kept calling them Lady Knights over there.

She HATES that. lol

 

[Blitz8RUCrazy]

Speaking of being banned... I am now unbanned after 2 weeks (said something on LOI day about the recruits that got me banned), woohooo!
