   Thing is, most of the guest posting in PPP (long time ago...) were, actually, active members...

   There was some strange Marquis de Sade/erotic poetry thing going on for awhile in PPP.  All who contributed were regular members...

I remember when I used to be a guest. I was known as "Billy" until I registered as "Roadgeek". Like Chucky said, the 2000's forum has a lot of kids (My Age Probably) going nuts.

   Nah, I just made that up...

  Nah, it really happened.  I was the one who posted Marquis de Sade quotes... :P

Considering that Davester's been around for about as long as I have (6 years), I would say he knows what he is talking about.

And yes, guests were able to post in PPP at one time, but it got out of hand with the admirers thread. Although that was kinda funny. :D

Tarzan Boy was forced to return to the jungle, where he got ahold of some bad poison.  He's since recovered and is currently riding a New Wave on the internet.  PoP was here for awhile, but took over Anotherboardistan for a beer and a SeXchange.   :D ;D

Yes...but that was only for the old board (which existed up until April 15th, 2004).

Guests also had the power to post in other members-only forums on that old board too, for some reason.

Personally, I don't think guest should be able to post. If they want to say something they should REGISTER.

Absolutely. There are way too many guest posts that hardly make any sense, especially in the "Wanted/Selling" forum. That "Wanted - Old Nickelodoeon Shows" seems to be a magnet for guests.

I was never a guest. the first night I discovered this board, I registered and got it on!!!!! Some guests have put out some bizarre ramblings.

To put it in normal terms (you must forgive Midas, he's high on painkillers ;D), Tarzan Boy was stalking PoP on another board, and that got him banned. We don't know where he is now. PoP is still with her husband, as far as I know.


Yes...but that was only for the old board (which existed up until April 15th, 2004).

Yes, and the OLD board paved way for this NEW board, so shaddap. ;D

And the guests were able to post everywhere because it wasn't Members Only back in the day. Not until Chucky turned off guest posting.

Tarzan Boy and PoP or the whole admirers thread? :D
I thought the thread itself was great and funny. Many good friendships/relationships were formed out of it, and what people wrote in it was just too much! ;D

For everyone complaining about guest posting, why? Some of these guests are legit, and they only want to ask a question or confirm a fact. Why go through the hassle of registering for that? Besides, there is already like 4000 members who don't post, so why add more to that mix?

As for the freaks, well, what can I say? This IS the internet. If you see something objectionable, report it. If it's not offensive or it's something stupid, leave it alone or don't answer it.

  That suprises me...

  I was under the impression that there was a small, real life, meeting of a handfull of members in So. Cal which included Tarzan Boy, PoP, and one or two female members whose nicks escape me at the moment.  Zella, perhaps..?  They all seemed pretty tight on the boards...

  Methinks that thread in question was sort of the beginning of the end for the old Decades board.  Sometime around that point I took an extended vacation from the boards and missed much of the ensuing devilry...

  FYI, I've always wanted to use the word devilry groove ;) on ...

TB and Z met, but not PoP that I know of. There were two more SoCal old skool members that met them and it involved rollercoasters.  One of those members I still blame everything on.  ;D

Tarzan boy and PoP not the thread, and if he ended up stalking her it served her right. She lead him on and then some! That's what I found uncomfortable for a 'happily' married woman she went too far.

*interject*

I talked with PoP a bit while she wasn't weird about this whole Tarzan Boy thing and at the time she wasn't too happy with her marriage, and it seemed that TB decided to initiate the contact, not the other way around.  The guy was intelligent and funny but a bit unbalanced in my humble opinion.

Well at the time she was always posting about how happy her marriage was. I'm sorry but I must disagree with you, her posts were very suggestive to say the least. If he was unbalanced then it was even more of a reason not to flirt in such a full on fashion with him!  I believe in fidelity in a marriage/relationship and that's why I found her posts so uncomfortable.

I don't know the whole story and I'm sorry to say that I know neither of them as well as I thought I did.  Suffice it to say that both were a bit two-faced about the posting and the fling, but I guess she must have worked it out with the husband or something.  Call it a learning experience for everyone involved :D

Amen to that.

I think guests should be forced to register, that way they can be properly banned ;D




Like some people we know

Guest Posting seems to be enabled in the Photo Board...I strongly think that one should be for members only; after all, it contains threads that used to be in PPP.

I agree, I don't like guest posters. Most of them have an attitude and don't contribute anything useful to the board, or some members, not naming names, use guest posting to create multiple identites and talk with themselves which is quite disturbing.

I don't do that anymore since it lead to ridicule  :P

And I don't talk to myself  and mostly post on different boards since I've felt out of place in this one.

Though still post in the board games once in a while and some in the '80's & 2000's board.

How do you know where an IP adress belongs to? Does the first number pertain to a specific region?

And speaking of slowing down, I noticed the site was going ever so slow this morning...could that have been because of the guest spammers?
