Checks?! Seriously? I’ve only been getting Czechs!
Btw, did a search of your posts…looks like you have been posting this past year…
There’s a big difference between mostly gone and all gone. “Mostly gone” means “slightly here”. 
Hey Newcrasher…
Check out out ATMB or the BBQ pit…Let’s go to the quarry and throw stuff down there!
Mostly.
Also, you’re required to tithe 10% of your monthly salary to me 
!!! You forgot about the drunken party when we got marrried? And you promised to send me a pet Honey Badger?
I hates you forever…and I’m going to send the RatKing to visit with you.
So there!!!
If you really care what happened and why, newcrasher, the thread announcing Dio’s banning is here, and the thread discussing it is here.
He hasn’t posted in about 2.5 years. I don’t recall him giving much reason for leaving, just faded away.
I’m sorry to say he died.
Oh, somehow I missed that thread. Sad.
Yeah, I’m a bit blown away by all the bannings. I’ve been mostly absent (but not completely ;)) for the past 15 months.
So many posters…gone.
And yet Der Trihs remains. Wow.
I believe the real bias is against NFC Central fans.
Lessee, what happened in the last year or so?
Lots of arguments. Some people got very mad at others and used intemperate language, not always in the Pit and were admonished for it.
Libruls, Pubbies, Usual Suspects and the like were bashed and bashed back in return.
Racists, science denialists, religious fundamentalists, pedophiles and animal abusers were not treated well. Recreational outrage thrived.
One mind was reportedly changed by the ceaseless jibber-jabber.
All in all, an unremarkable year. 
I’ve been wondering about this forever. Thank you!
