Understandable. Sometimes I lurk around the forum without posting.
Well if i invited someone, it's purely for marketing purposes of this forum, which i'm very fond of as i've put so much for it's behalf. Perhaps thats the ultimate reason why i have bitter crunch towards some members no longer present...you see they have found my weak point, questioning my efforts on this great forum (and later on questioning many other things) I'm one of the guys still around from early days of Ezboard and wached how the forum grew from "onepostaday" place to freakshow where everything could happen, then trasforming towards proffesional discussion arena for chinese military. This forum is like home to me, others just place to visit and i'm trying hard to keep up with Donfengs ideas and dreams of what kind of forum this should be, even if it sometimes means i have to dirt my hands on....
But about this certain member that you talked about, it doesen't matter what he have doen in the past, nor does it matter in anyone elses case. In here only thing that matters is how you act in here, at this moment. Most trouple in here with him has been that other members starts freaking out when he just walks by...but sofar (and i actually belive that he will act as good as any other of you) he hasen't coased any proplems whatsoever in his posting. So i'm advicing to all of you just judge members in here on how they act in here and keep your emotions cool...
But wheter i'm indian, this has been big mystery for me becouse i've been tought to be one for several occasions. The ilfamous Chinawhite even boasted that he could prove it....So i say this one last time and i'm ecspecting this wont raise to become an issue any longer. I'M NOT INDIAN, I'M FINNISH, RAISE AND BORN IN DEEP WOODS OF HÄME. I'VE EVEN NEVER BEEN IN INDIA!!!
Okey lets settle a bit. This misunderstanding comes propaply from the fact that i've been defending indian side in various bashing conflicts, but thats simply becouse i've trying to get facts straight. I wont stand in side if someone bash some other country with selfinvented facts and minimizizing some equipment just becouse they have been manufactured in some certain country. Wiht indian case it seems that all you chinese members seem to think that only Indians keeps up their flag, and everyone else should know that everything coming form india is toataly useless and bitiful....well pardon me to break your illusions.
About these other forums and flames in there, it's all down to moderating policyes. When i first came along to Keypub, i was amaized what was going on there...it really reminded me about those crazydays of old Ezboard with britihsboi and all...The thing is that if the tolerance is low then even guys with good reputation and matrure ways can end up calling others wiht names and so on. I've fallen to those low manners myself. I'm a guy how needs disipline, someone clearly saying you are not allow to do that and i obey. Perhaps the armytime got hold on me...who knows. Annyway my point is that if there is no sheriff in town, then the wild wild west thing is on the row...I even pointed this thing out in the Keypub. but sofar nothing has happened. But in here things are different. The administration has set clear rules and told us mods to make sure that the rules are to be followed. So we mods, exspecially me don't go and ban people just for fun...we do what we are told to do. This has led to some unfortuned incidences few times where some strongminded members cannot see their own faults and tought that we mods act on personally driven basis. It may seem fasism to someone, but i personally think that is the main reason why our forum have become more proffesional. In the old forum we mods didn't have the tools to keep all of you in line but this bulletinboard gives us just the right instruments to cut out the bad tweeds as they say here in finland....
But i think this thread is now turning up to be somesort of open arena where everyone can say bad form everyone...and thats not the way around here. Also there shouldn't be any questions how different forums qualify against each others becouse we all know tha Dongfengs Chinese defence today and it's dedicated forum is the best information availble for chinese military matters
And seriously don't forget the quizz...we have had way too low participation in last couple weeks....
It is indeed very sad to look back and see the outstanding members who no longer post here, does anyone still have any contact with Gollivanian
I tried to contact "golly" a few years ago..but to no avail. He never answered me back. Golly is still active on "shipbucket";
I tried to join shipbucket a couple of times but was never allowed entry. I think Obi Wan is a member or was at one time or another.
Maybe Obiwan could give us an Update on Golli, or talk Golli into checking back in??
In any regard, I'm far more thankful that the "dark knight" has returned, there's only one Big Daddy Popeye anywhere, and I'm happy you've returned, oh "muscular genius"!
Jeff posted this video two days ago on youtube!
What I learned:
1) Jeff has a great youtube account and many of them have pretty high views (in the thousands).
2) He has cute kids.
3) Modeling is a great hobby but is also time consuming!
Whatever happened to @manqiangrexue?

I'm still here. Banned for 3 months because I corrected someone's (whose screen name I cannot even spell) economic "formula" of "GDP growth minus consumption minus inflation minus government spending minus R&D=real GDP growth", therefore, China's "real" GDP growth was -14% in 2018 (or something of equal intelligence). I pointed out that that makes absolutely no sense and he was an idiot but he was slightly more polite and apparently to some moderators, politeness is so much more important than being correct on this forum.
We should all have people politely making up these types of equations and passing them around because that would make this forum such a wonderful place for thought diversity...
