    And people say I am paranoid for putting tape over camera lenses.

    This last laptop doesn't even have a camera to put tape on. No microphone either.

    Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out ta get me.

    Though I'm kinda curious about where the mods would see my location as due to vpn... It'd be kind of cool to see how well that actually masks real locations.

    Most recently Denver, CO. Yesterday was San Jose, CA

    I'm starting to think you might be a commie with all these hits in these liberal states

    Been to Bonge’s lately? I have not been since it has a new owner and curious if its still worth the drive. Ought to be not too far for you.
    We have not been since the new owners, we have always enjoyed going there with the last owners. Weve never done the parking lot pre-game.
    I will speak to the girl and get her to get a reservation in the near future.
    I will say that we haven't heard anything bad with the changeover.

    Edit,
    I just spoke to her, she will ask at work and see if anyone has been.
    I do know that when my son is back from Maryland we all will go for dinner near you at Sullivan's one night.

    I just realized this one was Friday night. Post #2565 was one from this AM.

    Friday night one: did not receive the nice PM. This one, "Uuhhmm, I'm from Merrivile (spelling hometown wrong twice) I want to buy gun. I'm underage" got the terse memorandum which may have included the words, "this is a discussion forum with a classifieds section, this ain't Guns-R-Us."

    It was a bit late for me to go to the blue room, so @Cameramonkey cyber-sleuthed and hammered the under-aged miscreant (or .gov Fed pretending to be an under-aged miscreant.)

    Uh, is he/her banned? Or just told the rules.
    I'm hoping that person can stick around and learn.


    Not trying to jog the mod's elbows.
    Just wondering.

    In the country, hopefully.
    "Perk" of it was we could see their dm's. Saw some reallly interesting stuff.
    I’m on a truck/off road forum that uses the same platform as INGO, and it seems like conversations are visible to all. They show up on searches. Very creepy, kinda troublesome. Lots of buy/sell on there with no restrictions.
    Often wondered if conversations could be turned on to be visible here on INGO.

    He is more than perma banned. That is all I can say without having to kill you.

    Mods have their devious little secrets. Backhoes and hogs may be involved. :whistle:

    Long long long time ago I was a chat room moderator back when chat rooms where the cool place to be.

    Place had maybe a hundred regular chatters out of a few thousand forum members.

    The only need for a mod there was to keep trolls out-not so much the members.

    "Perk" of it was we could see their dm's. Saw some reallly interesting stuff.


    My IT job, we had access to provided computer/laptops.:n00b:

    Thats all I will say.
    As the administrator of our Linux based open fire server I had access to all conversations. however, I stayed professional about it, and never went in to read anything I shouldn’t have other than to verify fixes worked.

    I did accidentally read a few interesting conversations though. The things people will talk about in a system they believe is private/secure is incredible.

    Secrets are only secret if their secret. One of you guy’s is a cop or a spook. Or a hacker. Just a guess.

    Yeah, we always had fun there. I have some bittersweet memories of it.

    This is a picture of all my closest friends and my wife (in red shirt - may she RIP) at Bonge’s in 2013.

    Sullivans is 1 mile away from where I live. I have to resist the temptation to go there too often.

    Excuse me, it’s getting a little dusty in here.

    We like Sullivan's, we try to go about 2-3 times a year. My girls work Christmas party is held there in the side room, my son was a second with another salary employee last Christmas. Plant manager said company is paying the bar bill so help yourself, Shortly we were doing double Walker Blues on ice.
    It turned into a blur.
