It does not look very healthy, its cracked, split, weathered and has many knots. In addition its not very straight and all vertical surfaces are curved which does not facilitate secure attachment of boards.
Bort seems to be in a very sarcastic mood today
Just keep a sharp eye on the post guys. It may just disappear as well. I'll take the night shift.
Just adding another post
Cheers David
hehe…BLF post
I'm not sure how many more I can watch. I only have two eyes. Anyone care to help?
I can help you explore that question, try this...
Thats a lot of posts. I dont know if I trust myself with that many. Does anyone know where the mailman is. Apparently hes good with the post though he does lose them to.
I’ll be honest that this was the first time I noticed any over-moderation here.
I'm not sure it was over-moderation, the idea of BLF is that it should be no problem if watched at by the whole family. There were a few members who got carried away with cheeky posts about blonde girls and such which IMO was not that big a deal at first but it kept going on, on the edge of rude I think, and certainly unpolite towards DBSAR who had an honest and nice flashlight related question in the OP.
Sure… she still has a trust fund, right?
Rufus… buddy… you know I love ya, right?
I didn’t mean to disparage people from California or CPF. I’m sure there are great people residing, so to speak, in each. I only meant that DBSAR’s thread would have been laughed off in the older version of BLF where fun was almost as important as the flashlights. And given what ImA4Wheelr, O-L, Dangerous, and WarHawk posted, I know that spark still lingers a little.
And, Bort, my friend, I’ve seen you be very clever and entertaining while I lurk in the shadows in threads all up and down this forum.
Anyway, I guess I was just feeling nostalgic. At the end of the day, I guess no matter what, we’ll always have Paris.
No worries whatsoever. I merely wished to point out that people move around and that places everywhere (including Ca) have been affected by outsiders moving in. Lots of places have changed for the worse and Ca gets quite a bit of blame from other states for exporting people when it’s being flooded by émigrés. The small town feel is harder to come by everywhere. Simple courtesy is being squeezed by crowding.
Whenever I post something like “food fight” it’s an effort to introduce levity into situations that seem too serious but I lack the gift of humour to do that well.
I’ve been away for a while….is Mr Admin no longer in charge?
Actually I never have been in charge all that much, and I try not to be.
Sorry about the late reply, I’ve been pretty busy with things during the past week, and I’ve hardly even checked the site. The only thread that I remember intervening in was the previously mentioned “DBSAR’s 2000 post giveaway suggestions” thread. Quite a few of the comments turned lewd “[1]”:Forum FAQs - BudgetLightForum.com “[2]”:lewd - definition and meaning, and the easiest way to clean it up (due to the limitations in the moderation features in this forum platform) was by re-creating the original post with none of the original comments. Sorry if any clean comments also got removed in the confusion.
Apart from this, I noticed that a few CPF-related threads have been marked as spam. In the future, please don’t mark controversial threads as spam; instead please send me a PM and I’ll try to handle it quickly. But in this case, the CPF-related threads weren’t removed by me. As for the topic of CPF complaints, at least for the moment this still applies:
Hi everyone, At least for the time being, threads discussing CPF moderation issues and policies will be considered a controversial and divisive subject. I have taken the three main problem threads offline. My intention is not to quell freedom of speech, but rather to extinguish the flames that have been raging here, which have resulted in hurt feelings, insults, and arguments between users that are normally a lot more amicable. These heated discussions haven’t achieved anything productive or e…
Thanks to all, have fun!
Just another post....

thats about it
