Quote LarryS
"The people who promoted lively conversation were little by little eliminated. Lively conversation is the life blood of any message board.
Look at the numbers of member visits daily. It seems fewer and fewer people are looking foward to visiting the site
With less people and less back and forth lively conversation of course there is less opportunity for the socially backward folks to dole out punishment.
Dont get me wrong, ...they still have the psychological need to punish. They still have miserable unhappy lives....but the opportunity is not there right now.
Its like a retail businessman that alienates his customers and has no one in the store, and gloats that he doesnt have to mop and wax the floor as much as he used to."
Naturally they're to scared to make a phony name and come say it here. But they're definitely addicted to THIS site!
Fine, quote Larry S. but did you want to say how you feel, did the system fail you?Quote: IbeatyouracesApparently we're all miserable...

I swear, I did not type any of the above, me thinks the cats have been dancing on my keyboard again. I should have cooked and ate them long ago, with an appropriate wine sauce off course...
Quote: TwoFeathersATLFine, quote Larry S. but did you want to say how you feel, did the system fail you?
Far from miserable here.
I blame all of you in here for this.
NOOOOO!!!!!
Now that you folks mentioned the great LarryS. The powers that be should bring him back.

Gee, I think that's the nicest thing LarryS has ever said about this board.
Guys: Please don't quote banned members writing on other boards. Or re-quote other boards, whether they're using a different name there than here or not. Or paste links to those other boards just because the discussion is about this board. There is nothing good or constructive that can come from it, just bad feelings and pot-stirring.
And, no, I don't see LarryS ever being invited back here as a member.
Quote: beachbumbabsAnd, no, I don't see LarryS ever being invited back here as a member.
The odds of that are about the same as throwing 18 yos in a row.
Quote: WizardThe odds of that are about the same as throwing 18 yos in a row.
I would add losing 30 hands of bj Inna row simultaneously as well.
That would liven this place up. If that's what it needs, so people say.

who is Larry S?
I very rarely visit other sites. I'm not sure why anyone would quote banned members and give them a voice. Who really cares what they think or say?Quote: IbeatyouracesApparently we're all miserable...

The fact he hasn't moved on is pathetic at best. He really needs to evaluate his entire existence.
Larry fan eh?Quote: ontariodealeractually axel saying nothing is the proper way to go....calling him pathetic when he cannot defend himself here is, ummm, errrrr, pathetic.
Ya, ya glass houses and sh*t. Mine is a non tempered one and I have a pocket full of rocks with a wrist-rocket in the other one.
I'm not sure if that's a personal insult or not. Basically you're calling me pathetic for calling him pathetic. What's that make you? perhaps you are pathetic for calling me pathetic, for calling him pathetic. This is all pathetic.
I'm sure most people have some kind of a pathetic attribute.
There's really nothing for him to defend(he can attempt to defend himself on whatever forum allows his kind). I believe he has been talking smack about the site and it's members for a while now? So in this particular case, I'll live up to 2F's theory, "you might be a bad man if..."
MR. Pro sports bettor who doesn't know who Floyd Mayweather is(*rolls eyes) has been mostly a nasty negative person on the forums. So basically... I really don't care if he or his supporters take issue with me stating the obvious. Perhaps Ill take up skeet shooting in my glass house when it comes to Larry.
Anyways Life goes on, perhaps one day he will move on( I'm not holding my breath).
PS. No doubt he's probably a baccarat or betting system player as well.
Quote: ontariodealerI've talked with him on other boards....he is a very very good sports handicapper....don't know what he did here to get the boot but don't fight with an unarmed man,
LarryS did a few things here; you can usually find out more by checking the Suspension List thread for specific events:
https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/info/rules/5288-suspension-list/
I saw "trolling" was mentioned in one of the suspensions. I don't know how good of a sports handicapper he is, but it seems like he got as many chances as anyone around here to clean up his act and stay on the board. He chose not to do so.
Since the mods have already mentioned not bringing up stuff from other boards here, I guess we won't hear much more about that...but it isn't like I feel no one should criticize those who criticize the folks here, management and members. Most "nuked" folks (not counting trolls/multiples, etc.) could have stayed and argued for themselves, but they used all the rope they had and got sent away.
The rules clearly state 'no insults'.Quote: djatcAll I have to say is that Im not interested in the opinions of people who have nothing of substance to say, AP, or otherwise.
And I'm feeling insulted now.
You go sit in the corner...
Good advice only please.Quote: ontariodealerI've talked with him on other boards....he is a very very good sports handicapper....don'tk now what he did here to get the boot but don't fight with an unarmed man,
If you gotta pick a fight, always pick the unarmed man.
Subtle proxy conflicts at its best.
In posting and arguing his points he's more unrelenting than most.
He contributed many good threads and arguments, but in the end I think he irked the powers that be just one too many times, "tugging their tail" for lack of a better description.
It is unfortunate that he got nuked, as many of his threads were interesting, informative, and gambling-related.
Quote: TwoFeathersATLThe rules clearly state 'no insults'.

Im just trying to make America great again, like Donald trump
Very low yield nuke launches.
What possible defense could he have for the things he has been saying? How is it not pathetic that he's still obsessed with this forum?Quote: ontariodealerI've talked with him on other boards....he is a very very good sports handicapper....don'tk now what he did here to get the boot but don't fight with an unarmed man,
Again if he can talk trash on the other forums he can respond there as well. You act as if he's dead or something.
------------------------------------------------
Do you have very good evidence to support the very good handicapping claim? Something to verify a winning % after hundreds of picks prior to each event? I'm all ears.
I'm just a bit suspicious of anyone that claims to be good at sports handicapping but doesn't know who one of the top 5 ranking boxers in the world. That would be like you claiming to be a dealer and not knowing what roulette is.
Perhaps he was just making up the fact he didn't know who FM was to make some point. Kinda like Alan may have been doing with the 18 yo's. Sometimes people embellish to make a point without realizing how ridiculous of a claim it actually is. They refuse to admit such things to save face.
If that's the case I can't take Larry's word for anything.
Like Clint Eastwood said in Unforgiven: "He should have armed himself"Quote: ontariodealerdon't know what he did here to get the boot but don't fight with an unarmed man,
Nice to see you are still following the thread, excellent I might say. But I'm not sure exactly what you found to be "excellent". I have a guess though. And you may very well be correct.Quote: chickenmanExcellent
Quote: AxelWolfWhat possible defense could he have for the things he has been saying?
Over the years he's made some interesting arguments: slanted, yes, but arguably defensible.
His were typically posts of substance: no fluff with Larry S.

Quote: Zcore13I'll tell you what is excellent. We are now in the midst of the longest no documented suspensions in over 2 years. Could be much longer, but I didn't feel like going through the archived suspension list.

It appears the streak is over--there is a member in red now that wasn't yesterday. Not sure what his transgression was; there does not appear to be a mention of it in the recent threads he has posted in but I may have missed it. I did see a comment made by that member about the whole SOOPOO/Hot Blonde dust-up but I am not sure if that is the offense. It could be the kind of thing that would make one wonder...that all happened a long time ago in board-years.
I guess we'll see once a greenie posts something...
I had read ZCore's post this AM. I knew were in territory we hadn't seen in quite a while. Then I saw the name in red in another thread and came back here to tell ZCore he done jinxed us! Ron had already commented. I think I saw someone mention Buzz a day or two ago in reference to this same member. I don't know if it was a joke, a guess, or an accusation at the time. But I had quietly wondered myself about this new member. I'm not a good enough detective to make guesses about the old identity of new members. But frequently a new member will make my nose twitch ;-)Quote: RonCIt appears the streak is over--there is a member in red now that wasn't yesterday.

Nose twitched a couple times in the last 30 days......
Not that I noticed any bad behavior or anything. I guess at least SOME people can't be forgiven ;-(
What would 1BB say?

It's because no one is here. The forum is dying.
It's amazing how often I check-in after a 24-hour absence and find how little has gone on.
Quote: AxelWolfI'm SERIOUSLY SORRY to see 1BB go, I liked him. Sure I ragged on him about playing innocent all the time.
Yes, I'm rather saddened by this too. I appreciated 1BB's gambling contributions to the board.
Looks like the drama has not subsided, but rather kicked up a notch since I last checked in on this thread.
Quote: AcesAndEightsYes, I'm rather saddened by this too. I appreciated 1BB's gambling contributions to the board.

No drama at all. Just the latest iteration of Buzzard He'll be back. Always comes back.

'The forum is dying'?
I don't think so, I think 'the forum is evolving' is a more accurate statement.
That doesn't mean I believe it is evolving into a better forum, or not. Just evolving.
I'm still here with all my great contributions (cough).
I see you are here with your's as well.
You need a different avatar ;-) You could ask Dodsferd for assistance....
Cheers! 2F
Yes, and relative to 2F's observation I mostly come over here to read this thread as I have mentioned before. Take away 1BB, B9 and Goodshooter and left with what?Quote: HowManyIt's because no one is here. The forum is dying.

Not much, not here. That is not necessarily a bad thing. It is what it is.Quote: chickenmanYes, and relative to 2F's observation I mostly come over here to read this thread as I have mentioned before. Take away 1BB, B9 and Goodshooter and left with what?
noDummy57 is not on the list.
I'm not sure the mods love us anymore.
One of the last I would have expected to be suspended...wonder what happened???? I did not see anything, but I don't read every post in every thread.
Quote: RonCInteresting...KEWLJ suspended...no post in the Suspension List yet.

I noticed this too, a few minutes ago. Refreshing the suspension list thread & recent posts thread (to see when/if any1 posts here).
EDIT: Looks like he got banned for a "truce violation". Hmmm....
Super EDIT: Not seeing anything recent from KJ that would infringe(?) against his truce (with Norm & co.). If I have that correct.
Not KJ, tell me it ain't so.
April fools day is over a month away...
<edit> Maybe he called Hillary a Beech, that wouldn't go over well with everyone, I gotta go find the goods here, I'll be back (said in Swartseneiger accent (sp, I hoped spell check would kick in, no luck ;-)
I first hand have experienced the resistance of the "resident heroes" on Norms site... Whom just try to correct anything anyone posts if it's not theirs. They don't seem to understand we're not competing with each other, but TRYING TO MAKE EACH OTHER BETTER.
KJ seemed to let this get to him a bit too much, but he's a great poster, player, etc. If he's banned here because of crap from that site, I would certainly re-evaluate my belonging to this site.
Maybe there is a privacy worry, maybe he opted out, went to look for Alan and AoS?
Check my conspiracy theory website at ?? Darn, I don't even know how to post a link, what a loser....
