I hate "Bub".  He sucked.  He was rarely helpful.  He always left a bad taste...
 
But let him back in.  I miss him too.

Why doesn't he just set up a new account with a similar name and pretend to be someone else even though everyone knows who it really is ? Apparently it's quite popular in these parts, so it's not like he'd be the only one. I hear that "The Bub" and "Bauby" are both still available.

Because I believe his IP was banned.  So, I guess, he could either move or get another internet provider, ya?

As has been proven many times here, where there is a will, there is a way. My IP is different every day. I couldn't care if he comes back here or not, but he already could if he really wanted to, so I don't really see the point of this.

The point was, many ISP's do use revolving IP's, but Bub's out in the middle of nowhere and I think he said he's stuck with a dedicated IP.  So, ban that one IP and you're toast unless you can find another ISP (which I don't think he can).
 
This is one of the many reasons I don't live in the middle of nowhere!

Still don't care one way or the other - never had much to do with him, but I don't recall ever wanting to either.

What part of "don't care one way or the other" didn't you understand ? ;)

 
Message from Bub:
 
===============================================================
 
Thanks to Steve for letting me know about this thread. I knew nothing about it prior to his email. I greatly appreciate Bapu taking the effort to start it and all the folks that have responded. If it results in a change of status for my account I'll be forever grateful.
 
Creating an alternate login isn't something I would ever consider doing. The way I see it is, if you've been banned from a product forum like this one it basically means they don't want you as a customer anymore. It needs to be resolved or you should move on. I tried several times but my emails were ignored so my wallet and I moved on. We'd be happy to come back if they'd like to reactivate my forum account.

Thanks for the support.

Maybe we need to arrange some kind of beer summit between CW and Bub. It seemed to work for wassname and whoseface when President thingy organized it.

 
Has anyone alerted a mod to this petition?
 
Maybe if we all sent Ryan/Seth/Andrew a PM each asking for Bub's reprieve it might help?

Maybe we need some more names on here..only about 20 individuals so far. I say send Bapu upstairs to drum up support.
