At one point I got pissed and told RD to delete everything on here that I put up. He refused and told me to calm down. Lol

So...I just started deleting all my post one at a time with the oldest ones first. It got exhausting so I stopped doing it.

So....there are no recent changes as it works the same way. You cant delete a thread or any first post that is in there.

Carry on....my bad

Actually I used to delete entire threads but that may have been on HotBoats

You couldn’t delete threads on hot boat either.. actually you could only edit on there you couldn’t delete posts either.. lol

So you rolled back your post count like an odometer. 😆

Yes but my reasoning was...

I compared it to sitting around a camp fire talking shit. I wouldnt like anybody recording our conversations.

You remember how wild it was on HB. Lol

Lets just say I am much more muted these days ;)

I've deleted posts here and one just recently because someone else answered before I could finish typing.

The only time I post anything during the work week is if I'm in my office. I've kind of given up on using the phone.

Deleting a thread you start after someone has commented takes a mod for sure.

I know it use to be able to be done in here as well a long time ago. Don’t remember exactly when it changed though.

I went back and cleaned a bunch of stuff up a few years ago

Used to periodically clean up my HB threads as well when I was going through my divorce.

You could always delete posts.. you could never delete threads. On hot boat in the earlier years you could edit posts and leave a period or something but you couldn’t delete.

You realize I was an admin on hot pay right?
I dont really care if you were or werent. I know what I did. It caused an uproar with the post whores. I never cared about a post count.

Usually they were deleted first thing in the AM...like 6AM or earlier

Can’t send you a PM.
You’ve got it restricted…smart.

RD can read deleted posts.😉
Really? I didn't know I was restricted on the PM's.....I need to check that but I have sent PMs and gotten PMs so I am not sure what that is all about.

I am sure they always stay on the server and if you have access to that or have everything archived on a backup you can see it all. I had an employee that deleted all sorts of incriminating emails at their desk computer. Thought they were slick. Well....all that shit still resided on our server. I was able to resurrect all the stuff they deleted and it came in very handy. I used a software out of the UK for searching 100's of thousands of emails for key words over a 25 year period. Took me a month apx to go thru it all. I could have paid big money for someone else to do it but thought I could see what was more valuable or not better myself. Amazing what was there :)

I am not worried about RD seeing what I have posted in the least. I don't cause any trouble on here.....never was and never will be intentional if it does happen. I am here for the cheap entertainment at this point :)

Coffee engaged now....I understand what you are saying now

I for a fact deleted entire threads. Did it all the time

People got pissed as they were so concerned about their post counts being affected.

I remember this vividly. You would get on after a few too many BLs and have a great and funny thread going late in the evening and then delete it in the morning. One morning, you couldn't delete it and you were pissed. I recall it was because of whiners crying about their post count. I remember thinking how funny it was to me that how many posts someone had was important to them.

Exactly....It was like we had an online party that night and if you weren't there you missed out....lol Those were the wild wild west days on the forums for sure.

I never understood the post count whores and being proud of that. If anything I was the anti-post whore that would feel like I was wasting way too much time and there was proof in the post count but it was fun :)

And you are right I can read deleted posts.. in some threads they are the most entertaining part of the thread. With some members though I don’t care enough to click the button.. lol

That’s sort of what it says?
I can’t leave a PM, at least not with the profile shortcut.
You find that amusing?
I find 80 plus bot threads amusing.

I would not block Tommy....lol I have never blocked anybody intentionally....not once.....in my entire history of being on these boards.
I will check it out and see what settings I need to mess with later.

It’s a profile viewing setting.
I usually use the profile shortcut “start conversation” to send PM’s.
Yours says you have your profile restricted.
