[Closed] Where is Bullheart?

I was thinking that myself actually....

MIA with ourmaninthenorth?

Didn't they run off together with mastiles fanylion?

I can see this thread having a relatively short time before it gets locked.

Really he got ban hammered?

Didn't he have a big row with Mark at some point?

Yet another big hitter disappears, is there a conspiracy ?

Didn't he have a big row with Mark at some point?

Ohh, you have NO idea my friend, no idea at all..........

Go on then..

You'll have to ask him yourself.

I read a bit that he put up saying that he had somehow annoyed Mark on the forum, I don't recall how. Apparently Mark emailed him saying he was out of order and he should think of everything the mag has done for him ie supporting him through the forum and changing his user name, and some other minor things. Basically trying to use his illness to sort of threaten him to modify his behaviour.

It was something along those lines but I'm not 100% sure. I will probably get an email myself now, that or get hit by the ban hammer.

bullheart =beefheart? no wrong conclusion

Blimey, this sounds like a Stalinist purge, I wonder if there is a forest quietly full of "big hitters".

Makes dash for border, BM, all is forgiven.....

That was aaaages ago and he's been back since then

Edit: the last post http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/fs-vauxhall-combo-crew-cab-bike-van

Edit2: his userid doesn't appear in the drop-down box in Advanced Search. I think that means his account has been closed/suspended.

Just another name to add to the unexplained missing. 😐

I'd like to add I have no idea what's going on, as is often the case.

Yea I knew it was some time ago but he did hint a few times after that he still wasn't happy with the whole situation. Just wondered if it was relevant to his current absence. I'm probably barking up the wrong tree.

Noone else does either BN.

so how is he doing?

He's not banned.

He's been hanging out on LFGSS, with the cool kids

[quote=Drac ]He's not banned.
Ah. Can you explain why his userid doesn't appear in the drop-down box thingy? FYI, there are quite a few banned usernames that don't appear there....

Username doesn't appear if the person hasn't posted for a while, it goes back on when they do.

A quick Googling suggests he [url= http://singletrackworld.com/members/bullheart/ ]lurks among us[/url], even if he's not posting.

That would make some sense (I guess). The long-departed would fall off after a few months then? Makes finding some old threads a real ball-ache.

Ernie is right iirc to speed up the database search it has a time limt on.

Google search is often more effective than a forum search IME

Yeah, it's lightning fast.

Google search from 1997 would be faster than forum search from 2013.*

*until the new forum.

It's worse with all members on there DD as there's thousands of them.

Oh, I know. Tbh, I don't recognise most of the names on the drop down menu. Was just taking the mick.

EDIT: That may be because a lot of them post on the bike forum of course. 😆

until the new forum

Ooooooh! When [s]was[/s] is that coming?

Just had a look and there's a little over 51.5k that's a few.

As long as the boy is healthy everything else doesn't matter.

so is he?

His email is on his profile and he's on twitter (protected though).

Shame, Mark is a top bloke who took the time to send me an email on the birth of my daughter. Thats a nice person in my book, never mind the bolax. And bear in mind i have never met the guy.

Not sure where's getting de-populated fastest at the mo.The forum or the singletrack office?

Well 26 new members today it doesn't seem de-populated at all.

Well that's 3 staff in the last few weeks.It seems pretty depopulated to me 😉

[quote=Rorschach ]Well that's 3 staff in the last few weeks.It seems pretty depopulated to me You do realise that none of them have ever been seen [i]leaving the building[/i]!!!

Has Fred applied for any of the sits vac? (Under a pseudonym of course) 🙂

Hickory dickory dock...

So you've answered your own question then.

I know one went to "work for future publishing" which we all know is shorthand for hit over the head with a stale pie and buried under the gravel on blue pig 😥

Well 26 new members today it doesn't seem de-populated at all.

But do they post or just lurk? It's posting that makes a forum what it is.

Ah yes, we don't talk about [s]Jon Woodhouse[/s] him any more. He's now gone to the 'other side'. 🙂
Actually we do, and we keep bumping into him everywhere at every press event (in the bar...)

There have been a few staff changes here in the last few months, though I don't think we're actually any quieter. Jon left in November, but has been replaced by Dave (though he couldn't start until April due to his old job). Richard is the new Matt. Claire's off on maternity leave, so we have the tall, handsome James doing despatch and young Sim is here for another couple of weeks before he heads down the road to Orange bikes. We're interviewing for the new Sim this week. So, I reckon that we're actually where we left off. When everyone's in, I think there are 12 coffees to make. Any more and we'd have to get a branch of Costa installed!

And I think Bullheart is around. He was advertising a tasty looking van on here just a couple of weeks ago.

Oh. I thought it was page views. 😕

The last update I had was a few months ago and that said that he was doing remarkably well. So far as I know this remains to be the case. Top bloke who has been through some proper shit and seems to be coming out of it pretty well.

Jon or Bullheart? 😳

But do they post or just lurk? It's posting that makes a forum what it is.

Think we need to wait and see.

Bullheart.

Without posts, there wouldn't be any pages to view. But you knew that, right?

Never had you down as the helpful type zokes, but thanks, that's really cleared things up. 🙂

I would like to make it known I have no association with 'bullheart', and as far as I know- I was here before bullheart.

Can I just add that I'm wearing Green Lantern socks today?
He has a very powerful ring, you know.

Had a Nokia like that once.

Hope this helps.

Jon left in November, but has been replaced by Dave

[quote=Edukator ]Jon left in November, but has been replaced by Dave. Make my day and say that's David Arthur.

Sadly no, it's Smiley Dave, formerly known as "Director of Flowery ****" in the magazine

Good evening all,

Thank you all for the kind words and concerns. I have not been swiped by the ban hammer as the mighty Chipps has confirmed; more a self imposed exile, if you will. I found that I needed a time out.

And I'm still doing well. Currently the longest living cardiac and skeletal AS patient in history.

With no intention of giving up my crown. I don't think that my daughter would approve...

Sweet thanks for the update

Cool. How does it feel to know that simply by waking up in the morning, you've just broken another world record?

Honestly? I get up every morning, and the first thing I think about is how I'm going to f%€¥ cancer in the head with a brick.

And before I go to bed, just after I kiss my family goodnight, I think about where I can get a bigger, heavier brick from.

Because I hate cancer. And I'm going to find a way of destroying it. I'm not sure how, but I will be a component in its demise. I've sat through too many cancer-related funerals this year, for beautiful, kind and wonderful people. I'm buggered if I'll stand by and let it carry on taking good, good folk...

Good to hear you are doing well and the combative spirit is very much present!

That's the spirit. I wish I knew how to be of help as I too would like to f*** it over. I specialise in designing training (inc within the NHS) so maybe I can step it up and start to make a bigger difference.

Any team Bullheart rides this year?

Reading what bull heart just wrote actually brought a tear to my eye. I don't know you but good on you fella, I hope you carry on smashing it for a long time yet.

Oh and i've got some bricks in the garden if you need them......

Glad to hear you are well and in fighting spirit Mark.

Good to see you posting fella.

You'll get a backie on teh Frankenbike one day.

Yeah thats a great post Bullheart 😀

Iain McGeechan and Jim Telfer are retired, I can think of a dressing room that could do with a chat from you just before a couple of rugby matches this Summer.
