I think he was the only one that flounced and left rather than was pushed
Oh SFB as well

The southern Yeti

Never understood why he was banned harmless IMHO and big in terms of posting but not nasty or argumentative.

I have a bad feeling about this.

<mod>
Here's the deal.

It's bad form to slag off people who don't have right of reply. So don't, keep it light or there will be a closed thread and some smiting.

He got a slagging off for being on here 24x7 and hasn't posted since.

Not a 'Bigger Hitter' as such, but where's Shibboleth gone? His last post was 10 months ago according to his forum activity. He often amused me. Disappeared or present but under a different moniker?

Cougar,

What was Shibbs banned for? If you can say, or remember.

I can remember, but if I told you then under the rule I've just set out a few posts back I'd then have to ban myself.

Nice try, though.

Shibboleth was banned for being more than a bit silly on a tattoo thread.
But did anyone consider him to be a as you say "big hitter"?

Toolmaker used to regularly make the top 10 posters back in the day when the mag used to print a top ten of posters.

That was pre-hack so I'm never sure who's gone and who's been rebranded

Who actually GAS about how much time Jamie spends on here anyway? Anyone who does really should spend some time away from here themselves.
I mean, really! 🙄

Rupert Postlethwaite. Though maybe he's morphed into the typical mountainbiker on that YouGov page.

+1 for Pussywillow. I'm yet to be convinced he wasn't the 'difficult second album' by whoever created the Postlethwaite persona...

Mark Datz wasn't really a "big hitter", just hilarious at times.

The "duk down" thread was excellent.

Current GW is a poor third rate substitute. Lacks the gravitas of the original.

Pussywillow and rudebwoy stand out for me.

Not in a big hitter "STW royalty" kind of a way, more in a "looking at this thread, guess who'll be along in a min.........oh, there you are" kind of a way. Reassuring in their own way.

At least 2 big hitterz on this thread on their 4th or 5th login names. That i even know of, i haven't even been here that long or paying that much attention. i still don't really get what was wrong with their old names.

I do seem to remember that Al coined the 'big hitter' expression on here though.

Pies pies, fish pies - I knew I was having a sense of deja vu on this thread - the pies everyone gets turned into pies when they 'pass on'

Bombadildo - [url= http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/when-folk-leave-here-where-do-they-go#post-5453958 ]Fish Pie[/url]

Certainly trolling hard is Mtbel. Silly threads such as the one that the rock garden at Pietermaritzburg (Spl?) is an easy ride on a rigid bike, etc. Then, recently, of course, he/she's always ridden farm tracks on a full on road race bike. As long as he/she's lived, apparently. Malecoweffluent the lot of it.

You're playing with fire! Just be sure you you make the appropriate secret signs while turning widdershins three times, all the time saying 'Kaesae' backwards, otherwise he'll appear in your mirror.

TJ's facebook is starting to alarm me 😆 Every 5 minutes, day or night he calls Jim Murphy a ****. I mean, he's right, but it's not like it's a job that won't get done if he takes the afternoon off, there's about another 5 million people who've got it covered.
