Talk about a freeze-out, it's like a ****in' tomb here after 4pm EST. WTF is wrong with you west coasters not keeping shit alive also? It's like an old folks home, you guys too busy watching Matlock and playing bingo? FFS.

I know. Dead after 10 PM EST also.

Wow - if you're in anguish because there isn't enough activity on some internet forum at certain times of the day to keep you stimulated you have a pretty sad life...

I generally stop checking my computer around 4:00. Time to focus on dinner and then relax until bedtime (around 9:00).

I get home from work about 4pm. My last online activity is around 3pm. Make supper, feed the dog & take him out and it's 7pm. Watch a little TV and in bed by 830 to start it all over again at 4am.

Usually don't go on line once home.

It is quite obvious if you have been paying attention the past six months, after lunch, and after my after-lunch dump, I head to the course.

When on the course prepping for my next career, I must abstain from posting, as I do not want to mess with my ever-growing perfection.

To update my fan club, four rounds in the last two weeks, only one lost ball in all four rounds, shot a 77 yesterday, no double bogeys, should have flirted with par 72 but the greens were miserable and inconsistent.

I anticipate being on tour in JAN 2024, and in The Masters a few months later.
Will need a caddie who can keep up and shut up, please PM your resumes to me.
Still gonna need about $5M, each year, for sponsorship, so do not be buying any gifts this holiday season, send all your monies to a better cause.

Pretty much same exact schedule here, except on Pacific time.

Back on to check for new content in the am, then off to my day, checking in intermittently and closing in the evening. I am more active on other real car forums and on real cars and other hobbies that take my physical person.

The only times I have gone to bed at 9 PM was when I started drinking at 9 AM.

Ever since the early days VB shuts down around 9-10pm est.
I think it's a mixture of old people and people who have actual jobs they have to get to in the morning.

Exactly. I'm usually up at 4 am so I go to bed early.

Early to rise,
Early to bed,
Makes DJ healthy,
And socially dead.

Based on all the personal information many posts here, 99% of the people here are receiving social security (for a while now). There is a lot of prevention, but many keep posting personal information on public forums.

That's how the CFOT learned about AF2, NN8RTR, and many more.

Older people go to bed early; I will become old and also will go to bed by 9 PM.

I go to bed around midnight or so, but watch TV or read til 1:30. I only sleep 6 or so hours per night, sometimes only 4-5 -- wish I could sleep more but I can't.

I never nap during the day and I'm old. :shrug:

I'd forgotten how "normal" this place has been since he got tired(?) of the constant ragging and went elsewhere a few months ago.

How many sites does he frequent, rotating them and leaving as posters really start trashing him? Must be several.

Not sure, but then again, I never cared. I also found it more nicer to have him on double secret ignore. Makes for a much more pleasant forum experience when All of is deviants and miscreants can come together to trash multiple subjects/targets instead of the same one over and over :yesnod:

Didn’t UD disappear around the same time as those other knuckleheads? I’m guessing his recent absence might not be voluntary.

It's voluntary. He'll be back. You can guarantee it.

He'll have to announce his marriage, his new vehicle, his latest article, his new shoes, his new addition to the raccoon family, his next business venture, a vacation wearing shorts and a belt, maybe a modification to his house or car.

I’ve never understood the secrecy online forums seem to employ regarding whether someone has been perma-banned or not. It seems as if publicizing someone’s demise would serve as a good warning to others to keep in line.

It's an Amish thing. Shunned and never to be spoken of again.

In my opinion, there should be a sticky thread wall of shame that they are listed on.

Along with being a documented Badge of Courage for the miscreant who got banned.

I know of at least 4 people who got intentionally and violently permabanned. One even did it twice. All 4 are proud of it, as they should be. Of course it was NOT on this site, but that other, socialist/racist one. :seasix:
