?????
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 😉
