What happened to Balletto, Oracle80, Ect.
 
What happened to the real players from the begining of this board? Balletto, Oracle, Repent, Eurobounce, Joel Cunningham and others? We all know why Blockhead's not here, He was very unstable, but the others were a big part of this board and I want them back. I would gladly trade one BTW for the others.:eek:

POINTGIVEN1985 02-16-2007 10:45 PM

would you trade me ?

Never said it wasn't good. Just miss some of the old friends

POINTGIVEN1985 02-16-2007 10:51 PM

whats the tuck rule, and what did this person do ?

dftwhbvxlcklop 02-16-2007 10:51 PM

I think Eurobounce is around somewhere on this board.

All within reason. They were productive members of this group. Don't mean to start crap if that's what you mean.

Balletto had a flair for the POTTY MOUTH.

Just wanted to know what happened to so many of the original posters.

Can we have....like some kind of internet message board prisoner swap, and get rid of this guy in exchange for say.....someone like KenWood from the PA board?

dftwhbvxlcklop 02-16-2007 11:24 PM

everyone contributed to the board in their own way. one person's way isnt better than anothers. it is just fun. but once it was time to handicap the board was at its best. Oracle did give us cotton blossom

Thoroughbred Fan 02-16-2007 11:42 PM

I am sure this is innocent enough. 2Hot wanted to know what happened to them. Well I must say, I've missed a thread or two that were then obviously deleted for due cause. That doesn't mean i didn't have to ask the group to let me know what had happened to someone. I'll just say that I am sure they are either gone for good cause or chose to leave. I think the site and most of us are great. Let's have fun and not think anyone is calling anyone out.

I get the feeling there's an agenda with the initial question. Simply put though, the answer is covered in the Terms of Service statement in the Announcement Section at the top of the pages.

http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/announcement.php?f=2

I'm not discussing specific instances, except to say that some of the people mentioned are choosing not to post and some are banned. Hate speech, intolerance and other anti-social behaviors aren't welcome here, and I'm sorry if you find my arbitration odious. Decisions are made with the greater good in mind, and I believe the atmosphere set via that administration to be as positive as it can be. Based on the fact that on a daily basis 300+ people are posting, more than 800 view the Forum, and we're averaging 50 new members a week, I'll stand by the decisions I've made.

Pointg5 02-17-2007 06:27 AM

I don't know what Oracle did to not be posting here anymore, I missed a couple of weeks, but I wish he was still posting. I never met him in person or talked to him off the board, but I learned more from him about handicapping and this game than anyone...Based on some of the postings, seems some that know him, had some issues with him, but I can't speak to that since I had not met him...That being said this is still a good site and hopefully I'll get to meet up with some of the DTer's during Derby Week...

pmayjr 02-17-2007 07:39 AM

Repent doesn't beat around the Bush and says some **** that makes Tim Hardaway look like a saint. So I'm assuming he's gone for that reason. When Repent talks horsies, he's one of the smartest on here... It's when he talks about... anything else... yeah just about anything else is where he needs to put his foot in his mouth.

As for Baletto... I'm assuming she's busy with school n'stuff. Cajungator, any ideas where she is?

Steve has made this clear enough...no sense bringing it up anymore. These are the reasons why those posters are gone. For those who like to create trouble...beware! This is a great site! We can have fun, but when you step over the bounds over and over...you pay the price!

Seriously. BTW's posts on trip handicapping last week were the most informative I've read on the subject and something he definitely didn't have to share with us.

Danzig 02-17-2007 10:08 AM

some of those board members were not banned, they have chosen not to come and play right now. oracle will be back someday, maybe--that's up to him. i believe joel is also one who chose to take his ball and go home.

as for some of the others, such as repent and balletto-they pretty much ignored or broke every rule that everyone must follow.

it's not as tho anyone is banned at the first sign of trouble. there are warnings, benchings, etc. it's not like the sword of damocles just suddenly fell down on them without warning.

randallscott35 02-17-2007 10:09 AM

Its funny, I liked Repent. He's a bit nuts on some social stuff but I always got a kick out of the guy.

he was vicious. sometimes he seemed almost sane. but he went way too far over the top too often. i don't miss him one bit. i enjoyed some of joels stuff, and oracles...maybe they'll come back.

yeah, once you get past the intolerance, bigotry, and xenophobia he was really quite pleasant.
