[Closed] Big Hitters that were of their time then disappeared

What's GW's real log in then? A bit tragic if the King of "I'd say this to your face" hides his ID.

Seriously? He's hardly going to login as GW2 is he?

I am GW.

Some people are very open about who they were before they got banned. Onion for one.

I think Al's point is very valid, he had this massive brash persona, and made a huge thing out of the fact he was a ****, and he'd be a **** to your face as well. And now he's lurking and posting anonymously. The only person who is as much of a cock is mtbel, hence my thinking it could be him.

Not breaching the mod rules, because he's here to defend himself...

imagine ALOT of the banned ones are on here- just quieter.

Fred (or whatever login he choose next) was easier to spot as he couldn't help slipping into his ways.

Reminds me of one of my favourite childhood reads...

Was there a big hitter called Dan, once upon a time? I remember him being very funny. A 'star fangled nut' thread comes to mind, but that must be a good few years ago. Wonder if he is still around on here.

Beer and Dan were hilarious and I think Dan appears on here occasionally under a different guise. What happened to SofaKing?

Was blackgem ever outed as an alter ego?

Just for clarity: Onion was only used in that brief spell after the mega-hack when folk could change their names willy-nilly.

Druidh was "retired" (at my request) because of a silly wee boy. Not to say there weren't a few short bannings prior to that, but I've tried to be a better person under my new login id.

Who's got the highest number of resurrections, I wonder? There's a poster on this thread who must be getting on for "Dr. Who" numbers by now.

You'd be amazed how many folk do try such cunning disguises.

I miss:

And even TJ (bring him back)

I miss AdamW, but he was a right tosser tbh.

I miss the real JHJ. The replacement they've installed in his place is fun but not a patch on the real thing.

Scotroutes, I thought druidh was retired after your foray into the people of Black Isle? A highlight of this forum in my time, thanks

What happened to SofaKing?

I was out riding/drinking with him on Saturday.
He doesn't bother wasting his time on here any more.
He's also more into comfy chairs than sofas these days.

So he got out of attention whoring and onto attention whoring?

What people don't realise is that Scotroutes is druidh's evil twin who was kept locked up in an attic and fed on raw porridge. Then he escaped, stole druidh's bikes and buried druidh near a bothy somewhere in the deepest darkest remotest Highlands.

So don't be fooled.

Did someone say Evil Twin?

Not so much a big hitter, but this morning I remembered the fellow who claimed to be bored of Strava because he was just so awesome at it, and got KOMs every time he went out, and that he was 'putting back' into the the sport by coaching people, because he could have gone pro, but chose not to.

RichMTBGuru I think it may have been...?

Wasn't it just yesterday I was told on another topic that people ARE real on forums and don't make anything up?

No Hora, you weren't. I said that whilst I was sure some folk adopted alternative personalities, it's odd to dismiss everything on here as "not real". Big difference. Back in your box please.

So ^ is in no way unreal? Wow 😉 A KOM King. 😆

RichMTBGuru I think it may have been...?

Yup. He'd just, or was on he verge of, had/having a book published on the subject too. Apparently.

So ^ is in no way unreal? Wow A KOM King.

What the **** are you on about? There's a difference between a few people trolling/being a bit weird/outright lying and absolutely everything being made up. I've never said that everyone on here is entirely what they seem, even in the post you've quoted. See the thread about people with hidden secrets - the OP's associate was a paedophile, but lived an outwardly normal life. Does that mean life isn't real!?

You can't be real though, I know that.

Your mistake here is thinking hora is real enough to reply to.

njee20 stop trying to fight back. Its embarrassing.

Your mistake here is thinking hora is real enough to reply to.

AFAIK Binners has no ego.

I blame the drugs, or lack of them.

One or the other.

Your mistake here is thinking hora is real enough to reply to.

Yes, I fear I've been dragged in. I feel dirty. At least it's all bantz and none of it's real. Still wish Hora would just go away though, made up joke or not.

hi. Yesterday you said it was all very real, real people etc. The person you described doesn't sound that real to me. You gave an example to back up what I said. Cheers for that.

I thought Hora was binner's illegitimate love child and current wife, or maybe I'm getting confused with an episode of Jeremy Kyle.

hi. Yesterday you said it was all very real, real people etc.

Dammit, I can't resist, I'm caught in your tractor beam of creepyness. I said:

I don't really get the "none of this is real" thing. I'm sure some people adopt a persona which is genuinely false - making up jobs or whatever, Insert Wit Here appeared to do just that before elaborately scamming folk for a lot of money - but aside from potentially forming an ill judged opinion of people because all you have is a load of text I don't really imagine folk to be markedly different to how they are on here, and still consider this a load of 'real' people.

I did not say "everyone, and everything on here is exactly what it seems". Some folk can't be as retarded in real life as they are on here - case in point! I still maintain though that it's odd to dismiss everything here as "not real". It is real. And I wish you'd **** off. Really.

I've said this before- its an internet forum. People lie, act up, have fun etc or threaten others as its not in person/business/money or serious.

Away from bike riding and forums life can and is very serious. Its nice to come on here, or down the pub, or woods and just act [i]daft[/i] sometimes. Too many people come across as bitter/lifes ground them down types on forums sometimes.

And I wish you'd **** off. Really.

Well you are a bighitter

RichMTBGuru I think it may have been...?

That's the one. Won ever race he even thought about entering. Owned every KOM. Ex para too apparently.

Blimey was that really a year ago?

Well you are a bighitter

Am I!? Wehay!

Richie McCoy wasn't ironic/a troll though, he was actually just a bit err... special. Bless him.

How is that any different to any other form of social interaction?

C'mon Cougar, it's because it's not real!

Richie McCoy wasn't ironic/a troll though, he was actually just a bit err... special. Bless him.

Turned out he had Asperger Syndrome. I think some people on Bike Magic booked their place in hell over that.

It all started out very friendly. I recall offering him a lot of advice before it descended into madness.

it's faceless/ anonymous.

I've no idea what you look like, what you do for a job, what face you are pulling whilst reading this, what you are really thinking or how good you are on a bike. Any argument we may have you may quickly refer to wiki/any google search to back up your argument. Whatever you tell me I've got to take it as the truth or at face value. Face to face theres no where to hide.

So unless it's face to face it's not real? So if you pick up the phone to someone at work, you perhaps know their job (quite likely not though), you don't know what they look like, what face they are pulling whilst talking to you, what they are really thinking or how good they are on a bike.

Is it not real?
