Ahigh Suspension
some of you it seems like its been 6 months. For a few
of us it seems like 6 minutes. Will he be back? Will
he be the old Ahigh? I was going to do a poll on who
cares and who doesn't, but was afraid nobody would vote..
Cliff notes:
He announced being banned from here.
He declared all the forum nonsense was too much work and he had better ways to spend his time.
He declared all of his stuff was being taken down and he was leaving the internet world.
His supporters rallied behind him.
He changed his mind about quitting the intertron.
He said WoV wasn't for him (or dice guys in general).
His site gained some more posters.
He seems content at Goodshooter.com.

I went and looked. Read the Banned at SouthPoint thread. I
actually laughed out loud TWICE! Once when he went to the
casino manager and a second time when he got a response
from gaming. I guess I miss him a little, he really is pretty
entertaining, even if its inadvertent on his part. He takes
everything sooooo seriously..

Let's face it, even though we may not want to admit it, we all kinda miss Ahigh & his iconic posts. LOL
Quote: WizardI just know he came to the WoV lunch and behaved himself.

Being in Ohio it does put a damper on attending Las Vegas festivities. How was the luncheon?

Quote: chickenmanHe won't be back - the haters here diverted his passion with their closed-minded baiting. Too bad because he tended to push the envelope to open up some different and often interesting aspects and diversity on a board is refreshing.
I thought you blew up in Philly last night?
:P
There is a box at the bottom of the home page of the board called "members who have visited the forum today;" I've idly viewed it a few times in the past weeks and have not seen his name.
The implication being if he hasn't viewed the board while suspended, he may not be interested anymore.
But: would a visit by a suspended member be tracked and noted by the board's programming, or would his suspension disqualify him as a member, thus allowing for him to visit without the fact being tracked and noted?
The guy *is* a lightning rod ...
Quote: DocA while back, I commented that I sometimes saw voluntarily-suspended member mkl654321 listed as a visitor. Immediately after I noted that, his name stopped showing up. I assumed that he logged out or deleted some cookies or something so that he could view the site as a non-member rather than announcing his presence. If Ahigh chose to do the same thing, I suppose he could. Don't know why either Ahigh or mkl654321 would bother trying to hide, though.
There's an option in the forum to hide one's prescence online. I know because I have it checked. You'll notice I don't show up as being online or as having visited today.
Quote: IbeatyouracesHe could set his name as invisible so it doesn't show up down there as mine and a few others don't.
Whoa, then I guess the Wiz truly IS "great and powerful" as he confers the power of invisibility upon his board's members.
If Ahigh opted for the "cloak of invisibility:" will the "cone of silence" be much further behind?

You guys are all assuming that he even bothers to log in. Personally, I think he visits this site but doesn't log in since he can't post or anything.

Just a click on your profile indicates your last visit date. Ahigh's was May 25th. Believe he was suspended on the 22nd and probably just came back to see his name in red...;-)

The majority of message boards actually have an option to be, "Hidden," when you are logged in.
without logging in and nothing shows up anywhere.
Ahigh is savvy to this stuff and I'm sure thats what
he's doing.
Quote: chickenmanAhigh has stated on GoodShooter.com that he's not returning but devoting his time exclusively to craps discussions on his board.
Talking to himself, in other words. 90% of the
posts there are from him and the other 10%
are mostly from Harley and 1 other guy. Big
whoop.
Quote: Beethoven9thYou guys are all assuming that he even bothers to log in. Personally, I think he visits this site but doesn't log in since he can't post or anything.
Logging in, even if you don't post, is still a vastly superior way to read the site, because it shows what you haven't read as new.
to WoV. Too many arguments with his superior knowledge
I guess. He also says discussions that dice control doesn't
exist are not welcome on his forum. LOL! Priceless. While
he goes all over town losing his ass on a weekly basis
with his superior dice methods. Go and read it, he loses
far more than he wins, and cries and cries about it. Yet
dice control is real, its not a fantasy. He also has pits
pre warning him now about no more 'short rolls' because
thats becoming his claim to fame. He just can't seem to
reach that wascally back wall with his precision losing
rolls..
Stories about my losing sessions
Stories about Pit Personnel harassing me
Stories about me getting banned
Stories of me controlling dice at my house
I think that would make it easier for the 10 active members of the forum to find the needed information they are looking for.

Quote: Zcore13It's really exciting over there. It would be easier if he broke the board in to sub-categories like this one though..

Whats funny is, a few months ago it was all stories
about how nice and friendly the pits were to him. How
they were his friends and even pumped him for info
about craps. Now all his stories are about harassment
and the grudges he carries and the lengths he'll go
to get back at them. But these are his friends, his
good friends. They've turned on him, he must feel
very betrayed..
First it was Gold Coast, then SouthPoint, and now Wynn
is telling him no 'short rolls' before he even shoots. So
he gets his buy in back and leaves in a huff. Why does
he think short rolls are OK, thats the question.

Quote: Zcore13I don't wish it on him but an arrest for going nuts at a casino and troubles at home are obvious progressions.
He admits he has a bad temper in casinos when
things don't go his way. He's said here a couple
times he's gone ballistic on dealers. When he was
losing a big wad last week he actually mentioned
that he was calm inside and felt nothing. But you're
right, one of these losses that are coming more and
more frequently will end up very badly when he loses
it. He thinks he's an AP player and when he loses
and its obvious he's not, those two opposing ideas
clash and cause him to lose his temper in a major
way. Its only a matter of time before the inevitable
happens..
Quote: AhighMy history of the forum at the Wizard of Vegas isn't entirely pleasant. You can't call anyone a name over there. You can't curse. And you get banned if you do that sort of thing. Since I have been banned, I've been posting more on my own forum. I don't have these rules. If I think someone is an ass wipe, I will tell you as much. And you're free to do the same.
That should be fun. Now that he's offered, maybe I'll take him up on that.
Quote: AhighAlso, talking shit is a big part of the game of craps. The dealers, the players, and even the box man and pit crew talk shit ALL THE TIME.
Really??? I've been in casinos both as a player and employee for the last 27 years. I guess I've never ventured into the dumps he frequents? I'd be amazed I guess.
Quote: Ahigh
But the problem isn't that they made me angry (that's in the past) the problem is that it's a huge waste of my time interacting with such mentally inept individuals. If you sell advertising for gambling websites, you need all the losers you can get on your forum. All these guys projecting their loser qualities onto me and putting me in the same box with others who do nothing but continuously lose is the biggest limiting factor on where I am going. I am very glad to be out of there.
LOL ! How can you do anything but laugh and bow to his superior being. We were blessed and now we lost him. Oh the horror!!!
Quote: AhighI have not missed reading that forum at all. It was my impression that I was putting in too much of my time and effort into making that site more popular, and my efforts seemed futile. When the ban went into place, it made me realize that in the best case, I am simply helping to make another site more popular that doesn't even truly value my presence there.
I sure hope the Wiz thanked him when he was here. While it might be true that there were more posts when he was here, I don't think it was a good vibe nor was any good will created by his presence. Well, at least now Ahigh can focus on his growing site that has been around for 1 year and has had 8 people online at one time.
He's a legend in his own mind...
ZCore13
Ahigh is a character with a big ego. I don't think anyone would deny that. Those who have met him in Vegas have nothing but good things to say about him. He seemed to be generous.
But yeah, if he's out every night playing craps and taking the play personally, he's likely on the road to addiction. And given his type "A" personality which he has exhibited here time and time again, it may very well mean trouble.
I do love how he twisted his efforts to say that he was trying to make the site more popular. Uh huh.
Certainly he advanced the dice control debate to the point where it seemed to be the only topic on this forum, and it was interesting to see the different camps state their position for better or for worse.
He'll be back.

He just named 5 people who will never be welcome on his forum. (And yes, all but one have posted in this thread...haha)

I'm one of them, big surprise. Whats stopping anybody
from joining under another name, he'll never know who
they are. He can't keep anybody out just because he says
so. In fact, I'll prove it. In the next 10 days I'm going to join
under another name and it will drive him nuts trying to
figure out which one I am.

That's a good idea. We should all do that and have some fun. ;)
BTW, does he know your location? If so, he might recognize your IP address.
