He may very well be amongst us common folk. All jokes aside he was the reason I got into all-grain with his easy stovetop method.

Great idea. Is Bum answering emails these days?
Always thought 'banning' a vague, arbitrary and with a 'At His Majesty's pleasure' stink upon it.
So some people break the rules some of the time. Get over it. It looks petty.

 

[Feldon]

Why would Bum know where Nick JD is? He didn't seem too friendly in this thead (link below).

Bum it seems was the first to throw Nick JD under the bus. And anyway right now in 2023 Bum hasn't been seen on this forum since 2013.

At some stage when the 'exodus' began there were some interesting decisions around shadow banning. Remember when banned members had a banned status? When Austin (I think?) took over there were some conflicts and when people got salty they went on a short hiatus. Then there were conditions created that were not liked by members and they stated to question who was and wasn't banned. Suddenly, statuses were no longer visible and people appeared to simply stop posting even though they were unable to.
This is just the way it went.
If I recall bum's last post was "The mod's aren't my real dads!" and he was banned the next day. This was during 'the great purge'. That would be why he has not been seen. I think bum wouldn't be able to hide under the radar of an alternate account, he certainly had a way with words which would take immeasurable restraint for someone like him to avoid. Full credit on his spelling, punctuation and grammar in general - surely his best quality (apart from being able to square up with Darren).

Darren, or TheNewDarren?

They were good days... People could poke and prod each other and no one got offended.... And everyone had a good laugh.

My point was Bum was also banned, not that Nick JD should know his whereabouts. Unsure how you extrapolated that.
Fair to say sensibilities in forum land have become more delicate and less resilient in the ensuing decade. The rough and tumble public bar vibe and occasional coarse banter has been gentrified into an inner city hipster bar where punters mind their ps and qs. Pity. A forum can still be spicy without degenerating into 4Chan, or twitter..
I wouldn't count on a return to the 'good old days', such as they were, any time soon.

The removing of right of reply is a stumbling block. They were good old days. Can't stop progress as Dylan and Kung said.

What is this Land of Kegs of which you speak? And by what dark sorcery doth it blind one so? May its pilgrims and the subjects of the King of Kegs live together peacefully here in the Shire.

C'mon chaps.
Let's cut the personal insults and keep it nice,
I'd rather not edit or delete stuff.
So AussieCraftBrewer is back up and running. Well and good, as I'm sure there's room for each of these forums.

While AHB is asking for assistance is doesn't go unnoticed that those with so much to say and have never been a supporting member have all but disappeared. onemorecell where are you cobber? Couldn't you manage just one more brain cell to your existing one?
Wind piss and chicken **** comes to mind with some posters on this thread. Two Aussie forums look like going down the proverbial gurgler and the ones who care so much are no where to be seen.

The good old days, where are they now? some of our old members.
miss those people...

Those days are gone thanks to the Admin. Sponsors, or a Sponsor is more important than the members.

 

[philrob]

Oh dear, getting somewhat repetitive. This is a privately owned forum, so I guess the owners can run it as they see fit.
Is that a problem?

And they are, and run is an apt word. Combines well with into the ground.
Not a problem for me I reneged my supporting membership as soon as I saw the writing on the wall, as have many others.

They do, But the mods are so petty it would probably get deleted if I mentioned it, even though they are members and post on the forbidden forum. Think 'Australian', then add 'Craft Brewing' to it

 

[bradmcm]

They shouldn't especially since a moderator mentioned the name about ten posts up.

 

[wide eyed and legless]

He's hardly going to delete his own posts.
Go on other forums the moderators don't sit on their hands, they are amongst the most prolific posters. They are the ones provoking forum members to be active. Not this forum, most of the prolific posters have been driven off, leaving the admin pleading for assistance.
Forums can only be maintained by sponsors and supporting members, if forums aren't active the sponsors leave, If the forum is only getting 3 or 4 posts per day then it doesn't encourage member to fork out hard earned when the forum owner realises they are using their own money and close the forum down.
Can't run a business at a loss.
