    Default Solispoonism

    I have the sneaking suspicion that most, if not all, of the accounts on this forum are actually spoonitnow. Do I win something for figuring it out?

    If you insist on keeping up the charade, convince me I'm wrong.

    You only think that because deep down you're a woman.

    Wuf is 100% bananastand. Just so happens that when one stops posting regularly the other one starts.

    But ye spoon will have at least six accounts but none of them are active anymore as he's dead.

    Funny that you say that, because I just happened to come across this accusation when I was perusing the forum that shall not be named.

    Spoon couldn't say half the things I say without constantly puking on his keyboard.

    More likely that married life has inspired him to reconsider his priorities and shit-posting on FTR may have taken a back seat to more adult activities with higher long-term ROI.

    I really don't know how I became embroiled in this saga, because I truly don't know who 'spoon' is.

    Spoon wouldn't improperly use apostrophes where quotation marks are correct.

    Sorry to ruin everyone's fun, but either banana isn't spoon, or spoon is an even better troll than I ever gave him credit for. And I already rate him highly in that regard. I just don't think he can bring himself to use improper grammar, he's too much of a perfectionist when it comes to language. Writing is that dude's life.

    But you're him too.

    BS is wuf though, hence wuf having a little interaction with him (for the first time) in this thread. That and me reminding him will result in him posting more on BS.

    Your suspicion is 100% correct. There is no way I could have possibly fooled you. You are too smart for that.

    I constructed the BananaStand alt to provide contrast to the wufwugy argumentation style. Where wufwugy makes rock-solid, apropos logical arguments that change based on new information, BananaStand argues for the sake of arguing like any good New Englander/New Yorker/Jerseyite/wherever he's from.

    Mr. Stand is def. not spoon. Exactly 0% chance.
    Mr. Stand avoids me. Spoon thinks far too little of me to end it like that. He's certainly not changing his behavior over what some inconsequential internet 'tard monkey thinks of him. He's certainly going to let the cuck-monkey hear all about how cucked he is, too.

    Same 0% for Ong and wuf, but for totally different reasons.
    I know their styles of posting after years of conversations, and if they are now alt-accounts by spoon, then they always have been.

    I've put out some pretty harsh criticism of your posts, a while back, and I don't recall a diatribe telling me how cucked I am, so there's that.

    Because I tend to use visual clues, such as facial features, height, weight, hair colour etc, to recognise people, something I'm sadly lacking on the internet.

    as for CLP, I caught Bart dropping some total nonsense about a hand. I told him why he sucks and that if he is gonna charge money, then he should be doing more than just teaching people to be TAG grinders in LA. Then he made a podcast about the hand so he could rant about how right he was, except in the podcast he used a completely different set of facts, circumstances, cards, and bet sizes to describe the hand.

    I called him out for the discrepancies, and he banned me.

    CrushLivePoker

    It's a poker strategy/training/discussion site. It's run by a dude named Bart Hanson who plays 5/10 games in LA and got to be a D-list poker celebrity doing commentary on a webcast of bottom-stakes games called "Live at the Bike".

    He runs a forum where he tries to get people to discuss hands, but runs it like he's the professor and he has the answer key. Also, the answer key only has two words on it. "bet-fold"

    Sure, it's the bread and butter play of a good TAG player. And good TAG players make money, especially in live games where everyone else plays fit-or-fold. All I'm saying is that if you're gonna charge people money on a monthly basis for poker training, then maybe you should have more than one lesson.

    Oh shit, it's that mythical poster I'd heard so much about but didn't exist by the time I got an account.

    Was dwarfman the dude who had like 15 accounts that kept getting banned?

    I've heard he's an artificial intelligence experiment gone renegade. Even the US govt can't tack his IP.

    Fair enough jyms - disappointing that you still hold such resentment after almost 10 years, but it is what it is - I was a nightmare teenager!

    Sad to see this place die such a death in recent years. Obviously the UIGEA didn't help but I sometimes do wonder if such a brazen approach to moderating also contributed.

    I was reading through the IRC post from back in '05 a while back - great times.

    No, it was Black Friday. Even the forum that shall not be named had to shutter and merge half their subs. 6 years later, there are still subs being culled: I noticed HSNL isn't in the sidebar anymore and HUNL is a ghost town.

    Fair comment. Amazing the level to which this particular community has died though - online poker still thrives outside the US so you'd expect plenty of communities to still thrive too.

    A matter of opinion I guess, but I would strongly argue yes. I think the boom in the 2000s was almost a freak event for online poker, never to be repeated. Since UIGEA numbers have of course dropped off, but certainly not fallen off a cliff. Stars still getting up to 200k active on weekends.

    I also find the “games aren’t beatable anymore” argument unfounded. Again - the boom was a unique event... 3-4 fish on every table up to 200NL just isn’t a normal thing. Games are tougher, but still extremely beatable and always will be.
  44. #44
    I remember iopq being banned like it was yesterday. I was a BC fish, so he was like my hero.

    I assume eupho isn't euphoria? Wasn't he a LHE pro for like years after everybody had moved to big bet games? I still saw him in IRC long after he stopped being active on the forums.

    I also remember daven being banned just for calling out a mod for being a predatory coach. That one was the real bullshit. That was post-BF too, and he was a really active member, so yeah, that was a bad move.

    Honestly, even dating back to the iopq banning, the mid-stakes+ forums were always on a razor's edge. People scapegoated iopq probably because there weren't enough good players to drown out the noise. Then you ban the noise and there isn't enough activity, full stop. People like muzzard said they'd come back if iopq were banned, but they stayed gone. Kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don't.

    And modding's never perfect. Spladle got banned from the forum that shall not be named over a minor infraction when a mod went on a power trip, and he was finally like, "Fuck this shit, it's terrible strat-strat for me to post here anyway, peace out." And while HUNL probably would have died regardless, that definitely expedited its death.

    Forums are probably like a sports team: if someone nobody is acting up, sure make an example out of them, but it's worth it to put up with a little bit of bullshit if the player's good enough.

    Sure there's a fuck ton of people outside of USA playing poker, I bet they wish they could speak English so they could come to forums like this where they could discuss hands and whatnot.

    "Also, why doesn't "Reply With Quote" work? "

    At least I'm not the only one. I reported in in the Announcements forum a little while ago and a bunch of people posted quotes in replies and edited my post (I can't use the edit function, either).

    If you figure out how to solve this issue, please let me know.

    ong edit - so I can edit your posts but you can't edit mine? bahahahahaa

    I can edit your posts just fine, but when I do, it deletes whatever was there before.

    I.e. when I click to edit your post, it pulls up an empty text field, and whatever I put in that field completely replaces your post.

    Same for a reply with quote. It pulls up the text box to reply, but that box is empty... no quote.

    ***
    Fine, blame my browser. You may be right. However, it stopped working on when I had not made any changes to by browser, so IF it's my browser, then something else changed to make FTR incompatible with my browser.

    I have aggressive script blocking and ad blocking on my home computer, but not on my office computer. Both computers experience the same issues with edits and quotes.

    Since the problem first happened, Firefox has updated, so I'm using a "new" browser, and still experiencing the same issues. (Yeah, new is in quotes for a reason.)

    I'm not using some little-known or barely-used browser, so even if it is Firefox that is not working properly, that is an FTR problem to fix.
    Either blatantly state that FTR is not for use with Firefox and tell us which browser is preferred, or fix the FTR code which isn't working on Firefox.

    ... or it's not firefox at all and there's something else going on, but what, then?
    When it was only me with the problem, I didn't care. Since I know it's affecting boost, too, then it's worth sussing out the problem, IMO.
  58. #58
    It's not firefox itself. I just wondered if you were running the latest version, if so then disregard that.

    Maybe scriptblock is messing with it, or perhaps there's a programme running silently that's messing with it, something you use on both home and work comps. If you can be arsed, pull up your task manager, and google all the processes. Close everything that doesn't need to be running, and see if it fixes the problem, perhaps starting firefox up with each attaempt. A ballache, but you might just bink the programme that's doing it. And if not, you'll at least learn something about the processes that take up your memory.

    "reply quote does not work correctly. if mmm cant figure it out, aint no way im figuring it out "

    I must confess that when it comes to fixing a computer problem, hardware or software, I am about as skilled as a 2-year-old.

    If turning it off and on again doesn't work, and uninstall / reinstall doesn't work, then I'm probably out of ideas.

    Just to confirm, wuf:
    You're saying that you are experiencing this same problem, yeah?

    I started a thread in the Announcements and Feedback forum a little while ago. If you're seeing this issue, then add your name to the list. so far it's just me, Keith and boost.

    yes ive had the problem for a while. ive noticed others have had it too due to how conversations have changed since (less quoting, very little multiquoting)
