    So Zombo is now an undrafted free agent and is free to go wherever he wants to go,  good for him. 

    And  GO BROWNS !

    I'll be around, just won't be a moderator anymore, I just wanna be one of the guys now that I fulfilled Stan's request all those years ago to administrate this place so that he could go drink Bud Lights with Hag2.

    I'll still post, run some fantasy leagues, and keep the Great Zomboni going ... I'm just not answering 1 AM messages because somebody hurt somebody's feelings anymore. Ya big babies....

    Actually,  I haven't answered those messages in years, so definitely time for some new blood. Great Zomboni is ready to retire to his Lair and drink tequila with big boob models.

    Z

    Same here Z...  The only reason I asked for Mod powers in the first place was because in my 2nd shift working years, I didn't log onto the Board until after midnight.  Some POed Jets fan decided to post some pretty vile porn to the site at 2AM, and there wasn't a thing I could do about it.  So I became the Night Watchman here. 

    BTW, there's more than a few folks here of the opinion I'm a lousy Moderator. So, MHO if we both "retire" we need someone(s) to wear the sheriff's badge(s). Mark has been pretty much MIA of late. I'm old enough to remember the absolute troll, flamebaiting, and spamming anarchy before the days of Moderation that USENET devolved into. Some may not know, but Ghoolie (Unchained) won the coveted "Kook of the Month" award there...  And the competition for the award was fierce with guys like Admiral Meowcat and  © Flame Giant around.  😁 There's one particularly obnoxious Baltimoron flamebaiter from the USENET days that I'd still like to punch in the mouth if I ever met him.

    being a mod sucks I used to mod a you tube channel and while fun at times you cant let shit stand or the host can get fucked by the you tube nazis

    Thatta boy!   When you and Hoorta took charge I had flashbacks to an old Cheech & Chong album where they were babysitting a bunch of Hell raisers.  Cheech Marin's voice said "Hey man this kid won't quite holding his breath!" The character in Tommy Chong's voice replied: "It's okay, I'll fix it."   All of a sudden a loud thud resonated - problem resolved!

    I appreciate the commitments you both made to keep this place alive with the anything goes mentality Stan wanted to keep as much as you could do so.  One funny memory was when you put Ghoolie in a cyber kennel and confined him to only starting 1 thread a week (and restricted his participation to that thread only). 

    As you were...

  • Glad to hear.  Now I don't have to start a thread about where else people reside beyond this board.

    Pending the Grand Jury's findings, if any... 😁

  • I run a Kubernetes super cluster that hosts numerous of my open source projects. I'd be willing to help get it deployed/updated/maintained free of charge.

    The 1985 me would wonder what alien language was being spoken..... oh hell, who am I kidding, the 2022 me wonders the same thing. 

  • So @hoorta @Zombo, who is stepping up as mod? I want to know who I have to fake my friendliness 😛

    Thanks for your work and thanks to whoever donated!

  • I haven't been involved on BB for awhile cuz life, but I still skulk around in the shadows sometimes.

    No idea how the BB is running now, but kubernetes would replace the existing infrastructure basically. If interested I could coordinate the migration and give access to a namespace where it runs in.

    Basically it would eliminate all of the maintenance and hosting requirements. Certificates auto renewed, database would be in the cluster, etc, etc. The cluster has like 100GB of ram and 16+ CPUs so running the invision board there is a drop in the bucket.

  • Didn't eds invent Linux?

    As far as I know the board will remain pretty much intact for at least the next year.

  • Thank you!!!

    I don't post much, but this place has been a support system for me for years!
