Dio's Femfight Community Forum

JSK!

Well, I'll post the whole story here this weekend, if I have time, as I was participating in the thread that got the plug pulled. It all happened pretty fast.

Things just kind of died down here when the other board opened back up, but to be honest, that board wasn't exactly hopping recently, either.

Dio, I'm not sure if you are reading this, but I would suggest getting back to a one board format over here. I think that maybe people get a bit intimidated when they log on to a message board smorgasboard like this... it seems like quite a committment to monitor all the conversations.

Anyway, I'd love to fire this thing up again, as I think Dio is a pretty good host and all.

Kent

I'll try to post something today. I seriously think Barb is going to close that board down for good.

Chris, did you ever post over there?

Yes, those pictures posted on Barb's used-to-be message board are of her.  I recall that she had a picture of  herself years ago, but took it off the site after someone "outed" her and caused her some grief in her professional life.  It's the same woman.  Also, if you look closely, in one of the later pics, she's wearing a wig, which I'm sure has to do with her past health problems.  The fact that she's suddenly become so open regarding her identity leads me to believe that she's going to pull the plug on the Message Board, and maybe the entire site.  That's sheer speculation on my part, but running that site has to be a tremendous amount of work, and what does she get for it? 

I'm still trying to find the time to post the Barb's Board story.

In the meantime, JSK, have you looked at my site lately?

If you have any useful intell then by all means DO TELL! This whole episode is so incredibly bizarre that I can hardly make heads or tails of it. When I try to log on over there I get this page with pictures and the caption 'Harry was here.' It just doesn't make sense! According to this page Pvt. Harry is a thirty-something white female Victoria's Secrets model. On the other hand records over at Personnel indicate that Pvt. Harry is instead a forty-something Armenian Turk. AARRGGHH! Now which is it!! Personnel swears up and down to me that Pvt. Harry is indeed a 40ish Armenian Turk. They even sent over his enlistment photo. It's complete rubbish. The contrast is out of focus an the person in the picture is wearing a turban that's so damn big they look more like a Q-Tip than an actual person. We must get to the bottom of this! If there's one thing I hate, it's sloppy bookkeeping!

Oh, and in other matters, does anyone know anything on the whereabouts of our Regimental swabbie? It must be something like six months since the lew has had a good scrub. They tell me it's SOOO bad in there that the roaches are holding their breath and sprinting past it. Plus I'm damn SICK and TIRED of eating chips with the peeling still on! If anyone should happen to bump into Sw5c. Tongue Tangled in the next few days, please deliver this personal message from me:"YOU'VE GOT TWENTY-FOUR HOURS TO GET YOUR FLABBY CARCASS BACK ON BASE AND MAN YOUR POST OR I'M GONNA SACK YOUR FAT LITTLE ASS ANOTHER PAY GRADE! NOW DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY-FIVE!!"

That'll be all... {snappy salute}

Dio's personal batman: Field Marshall, we've detected activity on the board.

FM Dio: Another spammer advertising porno wrestling?

DPB: No Sir! News that the Barb Western Front has fallen, Dr. Chin under the guise of a certain Harry has taken over the region. Telecommunications to Barb Central not being responded to, Troops starting to get a bit twitchy Sir.

FM Dio: Bounders! A damsel in distress. Barb has been the mainstay and centre piece of this culture since the 1990's, she more than anyone has given us so much. Scramble a Task Force poste haste. I'm not allowing monochrome to take over again.

To the Dio Mobile!

Good grief!

Can't a monochromatic, world taker-overer convalesce in peace without being dragged into every crazy conspiracy theory out here?  Don't you dare assume I would ever appear as anyone other than my wonderful self.  I'm proud of my world conquest plans and would never resort to fake identities to further my plans.

I'm as sad as anyone at the demise of Barb's board.  Pity folks can't just have a little friendly give and take without things getting all personal, feelings getting hurt, and someone taking their ball and going home.

sigh

POOOOM!!!

 

[Lord Grant] Ha! A direct hit! Let’s drop down for a closer look.

{Lord Grant cracks open the canopy as they zoom by and shouts…} Haaa HA! Take that you Monochromed Madman!!

Just look at him! Doesn’t he look silly standing there! All covered in soot, swearing at us and waving his chrome handled walking ca… errr, uh oooh.

 

[Navigator] Sir! I was trying to tell you that was NOT a ’68 Subaru.

 

[Lord Grant] Errrr, it wasn’t?

 

[Navigator] No! It was a ’79 Mini Cooper!

 

[Lord Grant] Gulp! It, it...it was? Ummm, you mean one sorta like the Dio Mobile?

 

[Navigator] Sir…that WAS the Dio Mobile!

 

[Lord Grant] Ummm…..YOU IDIOT! How could you’ve let me...errr I mean, how could you’ve let HIM{pointing to the bewildered bombardier}do that? I'm not hanging for this! Ohhh no! You're the navigator! It's YOUR FAULT!

Trust me...it's for the best. Barb tried to add a level of moderation that simply wasn't necessary while ignoring serious **** that should've just been handled a hell of a lot differently. My opinion...that old broad's been out to lunch for a long ****ing time. FvsF fans may miss her but we'll eventually reload. She was way past her prime with regards to moderating a message board thinking a requirement for posting was blowing butterfly kisses all up and down her backsides. With no ill will or DISrespect my sentiments are Good Day and Good Riddance. Fans deserve a site run by someone who doesn't cut and run due to the behavior of a single nut-job...how full of shiiit is that?

Why don't you ladies get a room? Talk about a catfight, Geez.

Get a grip dude. Is there not a mental health clinic in your town?

Oh God....

It's Deja Vu all over again.

I'm not trying to take sides, I'm really not, but Tangler, myself and many others have told you many times to just suck it up and shut the F U C K up. I'm not sure why you think you have to try and always get the 'written one up" on everyone. But give it a rest, please.

And again, no sides being taken here, but Sketch had always been one of my favorite reads on Barbs board. Did I agree with everything he wrote? Well of course not, but I always liked his way of getting his point across. So I am glad he's still around and posting.

As far as him being banned from Barb's board, I wasn't aware of that. But one of the last times I visited over there, he (Sketch) wrote something on the Producers board asking Barb about her post about MArty's wife passing away...and Barb posted back specifically to Sketch Art asking for his email address and said she would send him the words she had written. I may have the details wrong, but to me, that doesn't sound like hard fealings going on between either of them.

I'll take the high road and wish you luck, tangler..but for Ka Riests sake...re furking lax...dude, will ya?

Awright, awright, awright, awright, awright, awright, ... already !!!

Fair enough, ... so I'll respond ... (look, if this is too much for anybody, just skip it or take a speed reading course, would you ???--I'm not postin' a helluva lot, just answerin'--so go spend $20 and get Read 'n Speak, if ya' need it.)

First off, JSK: Great to see ya' here on Dio's place, bud, and, yes, good point, ... so lemme follow your advice and just say hello. Didn't consider it because comin' here is basically just a shift from Barb's boards--which were great--to Dio's boards--which are also great (ya' hear that Dio ?), and, what-the-hell, everybody here (for the most part) already knows everybody. Right ? So I just hit Dio's boards at the get-go. Hafta tell ya', I hadn't been over to Dio's old boards in some time, and, I think these (relatively ?) new boards are much better. (My Big Thanks to Dio.)

Next off, Kent: Although you started this thread back in mid-June, it apparently came just at the right time. Now, I think you said somewhere you met Barb every so often for casual meetings--if I'm wrong on that, lemme know--so no doubt you had foreknowledge of what was comin'. Hate seein' Barb's site goin' down, like everybody else (with a few exceptions--but those people went to the dogs already). Just hasn't really sunk in yet. Just hope she's A-O.K. and doin' all right. Nobody can replace her. She's done so damn much, but she has so many admirers. I know life goes on, but there oughtta be some way her site can still be available on the 'Net normally instead of just archive heaven. Maybe somethin' will come back ... As far as Mule-lysses, it's not like I'm obsessed with him--like he's obsessed with me--it's just that I couldn't resist using one of my first two appearances on Dio's boards by putting his dumb ass through the chopper, that's all. Like, if I'm gonna shiiiiiiiit-can somebody who deserves it, who better than him ??? I'm not goin' spaz over him--wouldn't waste my time. Like I said, had a small, but decent, vacation for a while.

Next, Rob: Never heard of you before like the others (at least not on Barb's boards--did you post over there ?). You must be more or less new here (but I admit I haven't read a lot of the other posts here before recently coming to Dio's palace). Take 'er easy there, Rob. (This crapper-tainment--or just plain crap--has been goin' on for quite a while between Mule-lysses and me.) Nobody's trippin' out over here, dude, believe me. I don't do this for a livin'.

Next, Sketch-LAss: Look Sketchy, I'll just save myself a whole lotta time and simply give you one combo answer for what you answered here plus the other thread:

I've heard of Murphy's Law, but why in the hell you hafta keep proving it on yourself is only the mark of a true loser. You're still shovelling your sack shiiiiiiiit at Barb, still belchin' your sour grapes; and still upchuckin' at me like you're drunk on your perpetual delusions. You're talkin' about Barb because she spanked your juvy ass off her boards, and that figures because you understand about as much. Well, take heart, you won't have Barb to kick around anymore, and the good news is she won't have you. It looks like you'll just hafta get yourself another target for your anger management. Have you considered getting into a zippered-up punchin' bag and hiring a kickboxer to fire away with you inside ? For chrissakes, I know Pluto's been kicked out of the line-up of main planets--it's now considered a dwarf planet--but maybe your head up your iceball ass can be shot up to replace it.

and, finally, Spence: Look, Spence, I appreciate your refraining from taking sides and I mean that, but your first paragraph comments oughtta be directed to this board's Ace A z z h o l e, Lard-Ass Grant. Now, if what you say is done like that, you'll get no disagreement from me. Like I told Kent above, I just couldn't resist jumpin' on his lame ass for my "intro" here. (Hell, it's just a message board--compared to all the preceding bullshiiiiiiit Mule-lysses Ass Grant said above, I'd say his B.S. production wins the cigar.)

As far as Sketch-LAss comments on Barb's former boards, I understand what you mean if she was one of your fave reads. I have no problem with ya' there. She had many valid points (subject-wise) at times, said it with her usual style, and a lot of people thought so or even agreed with her. (So did I, at times, and that's true and I said so.) Where we differ is where you still liked her even though she started blending her cr-ass antagonistic criticism (and thus started pissin' off the women which then drove them away) with all that and yet she still remained one of your faves even then (at least that's how I read ya') ... ( I understand you didn't agree with everything she said, but that's beside my point.) If you still liked her posts even after all that, I suppose to each his own. Barb and the other women sure as hell didn't. Look at her--even now she can't stop swipin' at Barb. (Yeah, she must have been zapped off Barb's board, or how in the hell would you explain her absence since the last time Barb did a major wipe? What else would explain it ??? ... Her allergies to her make-up ??? ...) As far as the e-mail exchange on Barb's Producers Board regarding Marty's wife (was she his wife ? I remember something like that, but I thought she was Tricia (?) or another of Marty's close friends and/or co-producers/actresses ... somebody help me on that. I remember I, too, offered my deepest sympathy to Marty on his personal loss and asked him if any sympathy donations could be sent)...again, I can't argue with ya' there, and if Barb answered him that time, I understand, but having been a regular viewer and poster on Barb's boards till the time they closed, I'd hafta say offhand that must have been some time ago, so her big butt must have been torched outta there after that. (If I'm wrong, then she or someone can gladly correct me.)

and that's that ... and that's about it ...

Finished, now that wasn't so bad ...

Thanks much a bunch, JSK, and, yes ... er, ... I think so (like, what the hell's a "bong" hit ? -- but, ... oh, it's O.K., .. it's O.K., ... nevermind, nevermind ... it's O.K.)

Hope your family is doin' well and I know you must miss 'em.

Over here, maybe I can put up some more links. Barb's site is still hangin' on. Waitin' for the grand finale. She says she'll have more to say on her site's closing at the very end, but I still say--if the boards are gone because they were a strainin' and drainin' her time, and, if there's really nothing else to worry about--just leave eveything else up, as is. What's wrong with that ? She has unique and great stuff on there that doesn't need any upkeep/feedback to underscore its importance of remaining, imho ... Oh well, it never hurts to dream ...

Understand what you said about Marty and Academy Bruce. Reminds me of Lisa of Lisa's Catfight Productions that Barb mentioned a while back. She was a Ladies Corner member Barb said she knew quite well who passed away. You probably remember. Hell, makes you count your blessings when you see someone's life cut short. 49 dead (out of 50--and the survivor's in critical condition, last I heard) when that Delta commuter plane crashed shortly after take-off. Bummer. One couple were newly-weds, too. Just makes ya' think ya' have to appreciate all the more what you have in life, I guess.

Geat to hear from you again.
