What happened to the "Humor to Brighten Your Day" thread?

Post by DLodge » Thu Aug 10, 2023 8:10 am

I always used to check (and sometimes contribute to) "the "Humor to Brighten Your Day" thread. Suddenly it was gone and I can't even find old ones.

Yes, Dick, where is it? That thread is the reason that I click on the off topic board.

The last time FreighTer Jim posted on this forum was in May. Maybe he or someone else requested that the thread is removed?

I thought perhaps it had sunk out of sight for lack of a refresh, but you're right. It seems to have disappeared. In the spirit of that thread (which I much enjoyed) I'll post this -? Maybe it's not funny ? :lol:

What does it mean when this light comes on? It means you walk from here on. :lol:

Hope FJ is ok.

It was one of the longest-lived threads on the forum, and I can't understand why the whole thread would disappear because of one or even a few posts. Oh, well.....

Perhaps a bot was offended by it?

It is kinda odd that it went poof.

Hi Mack,

I have the vague suspicion that there was someone here with "an axe to grind" regarding FJ and wanted him removed.

Now, having stated that, perhaps I, too, will be "disappeared" much like people in Mr. Putin's country. 🙄

No telling.I joined a website called Next door a while back. Helps find lost dogs and get rid of that extra lawn chair type thing.Sometimes interesting conversations come up about zoning changes and what not,and God Forbid any facts come up or anything disagreeing with 180 houses going in on 57 acres with no infrastructure in place to handle the burden.That thread disappears like a bovine flatulence in a spring breeze.People wear their "feelings' on their shirt sleeves nowadays

It would be nice if our mods or the board of directors would let us know what we did wrong.
Not sure if I care to know who pushed it over the limit but the whole thread deleted not the offending post/posts?
I know the board of directors also watch and have final say if a question arises and they've X'd a thread before IF I remember correctly.
Perhaps this week we'll get an answer. :)

For whatever it is worth? Yesterday I noticed a fresh posting from Freighter Jim on the AACA forums. So it appears that at least he is okay. It was in a thread subsection that I generally do not take the time to read, so I didn't read it. But there was his pseudonym.
It bothers me to wonder why he would be gone from here?
I know that a few people on this site did have issues with FJ. However, the about a half dozen people I personally know that have used his services? I have not yet heard a bad word about FJ. He often made valuable contributions to this forum.

I also don't undertand the FJ bashing or negativity. He delivered my 11 from California on time, at the price he quoted. What else was I to expect? Art

Seem that some on the forum live by the axiom of:

"If I can not control myself, then I will control those around me."
Everything works in theory.
Reality is how you determine if something works or not.

Freighter Jim is no longer a member of the form and will not be coming back. So I guess we can assume that topics he made are not coming back either. :cry:
There was no reason given to why freighter Jim is not coming back nor to the reason why the topic was deleted. I am not going to press the issue further because frankly it's none of my business I just wanted to let you know what I found out.

Well thanks for sharing what you did find out. I guess it just shows how fast we can be erased.

Thank you for asking Austin. :)
G. R., you're correct! Apparently only the offensive one tho. We helped or did we?
Fine. We won't know.
