Seems to be missing in action. Just curious if health issues are involved, or whatever.
-
Just looked at Lannis' profile and he hasn't posted since 11/17.
He mentioned in his last post that he was going to try a little experiment (he was commenting about addiction to electronic gadgets/the internet,etc). Based on that, I suspect that he's fine.
*Rodekyll also hasn't posted since 10/23. Hope they're both okay.
-
Lannis is a member of the Birt Bike site and posts there regularly including yesterday. I don't know him personally but my limited time here has seen him and "Dusty" argue often.......Now Dusty is a moderator....
-
It is common to have folks come, go, and reappear over time. I have been around since 2007. Active for a while, leave for a year at a time then come back. Get mad at other members, have other priorities and interest all factor in I guess for many of the members..
-
It's interesting that I'm not the only one that gets concerned when fellow Guzzi posters go missing. Other boards are not like that.

I'm a little concerned about RK.. Lannis not so much. :smiley: I'm pretty sure Lannis is ok.

Maybe visiting his daughter. Let's hope there is nothing serious.

Everyone needs a break sometimes.
They're both well and fine.

Maybe they're all trying to deal with an addiction overdose(Wildguzzi). :clock:

Sold the Brit bikes, is now a greeter at Walmart.
But I could be wrong.

Yeah, we know what he thinks of Walmart. :thewife:

Speaking of folks coming and going.......new post (actually looking for a member) after a couple years by Dan R. Was a frequent poster some years back.

I'm pretty sure that Dan sold both Guzzis and was giving up riding.

Yep.

Things bein' what things be - I note that a couple of the most prolific posters have gone missing while another very prolific poster's status has been elevated.
Raising lost TBFs
Mowing a grassy knoll?
Maybe pluto being in Capricorn?
Mid season break to The Walking Dead?
Murphy's baby upsetting the zen of the apocalypse?
Jon Snow's wolf prowling the ether world unattended?
Itches not E-centric or simply living a life excepting of the false world of the internet?
Perhaps.... add equitable gasps here as apply to one's own life - the individuals are occupied living a flesh and blood life.
In any case, Lannis' color is color lost.

And have you noticed that the majority of the posts now are Guzzi related, even though it is winter here, in the USA at least.

Yeh that' funny right there :)
If you thought Lannis was fun on the board you should have seen them at work. All I would hear was "that Guzzi friend of yours..." He got out at the right time!

I have that priviledge to experience that on other boards. Two were Harley boards. Both required a dialog with a group to join. Pretty much screened out the RUBS and weekend 'biker' types.

There has been a move to PC stuff here.

I agree.

Any controversial topic that has a lively discussion is deemed "political" and zapped. Topics that are considered "political" are deleted before they become a discussion topic. In other words censored before they become a controversy and not "political". The rules of the board are "political" topics are banned not topics that are controversial.
-
I haven't weighed in here for obvious reasons . To address the nuking of political topics , Luap gave the mods very explicit instructions , no politics . We have members of every political stripe here . So... if you want to discuss that subject , there are hundreds of sites for discussing politics , religion , sexual preferences , etc etc . What might seem PC to some is offensive to others , and vice versa .

Tom,
Remember, This is Luap's forum. It exists at his whim and by his direction. It is his wish that Wildguzzi be a refuge from the usual BS found on internet forums.
If controversial and political discussion is what you seek, it's easy to find. Elsewhere.
Anyone who has any questions on the direction of Wildguzzi and its moderation are welcomed to email or PM Luap.

Mike and Dusty,
First of all I respect your work as moderators.
Controversial or lively discussions do not equal "political". Political is about politics, political parties, politicians, government policy etc.
There's a thread started that the OP thinks that he should no longer be on the forum because he no longer owns an MG. We have at different National rallies owners that show on other bikes than MG and also their friends that show up on other brands.
To draw a direct connection between controversy and political is wrong. While controversial can be political. We won't know without a discussion.

Moderators are as human as the rest of us.
I'm not stepping up to moderate jack, and I would guess a great number here wouldn't
want the "hot seat" either.
What system works ALL the time anyway?
Rocker and Dusty seem like very different people, and it may have been intentional that they
both ended up as our Mods.
Not directed at any one here.
Just my take.
-
I'm a very political dude, with very strong g thought out opinions, and I lo e to talk politics. At times I wish we were more free to talk about politics here, but overall I think the modertors have done a very good job of keeping stuff of that doesn't along here.

While you are waiting.

Funny that a topic about where is Lannis should lead to political commentary....
Mark

Ya think? :smiley:

Maybe this entire thread is part of Lannis' experiment that he talked about in his last post before going underground. Irony? LOL

:thumb: Probably watching the entire library of Bill O`Reilly episodes for the third or fourth time.

Just for the record. I never said it wasn't Luap's forum. For those that are newer to the form and would be from page 3 of sign-ups or before (Dusty and Mike Moderators) or (Rodekyll and Chet) moderators. I know the rules.

Just more patronic genuflecting to a couple of fellas (and a gal) who are certainly in no need of unsolicited defense.
Water off your back.

So you're confirming what I'm saying?
-

I guess - in a manner of speaking (non-speaking?) sure. But more as an answer to the aggressive invitation to leave on the behalf of those perfectly capable of advancing their own invite as well as the ever present passive attack of throwing a thumbs up in a "yeah... what he said" salute of empty support.
Peppers for the rice I guess.

Ya know I went this whole thread thinking " Who the f*ck is Lannis and can he fix a sticky shifter on a v11?"... :bike-037:

I think it's some sort of handbag fight. Almost certainly involving barnyard animals and soap. I might be wrong though.
But I doubt it......
-
He's commented about not wanting to be associated with certain types of lists , for example commie Nick's (rip), I wondered when I noticed him MIA if he felt this list was getting too blue?
If so, it's his imagination, he & I almost surely belong to the same political party yet b/c of some "moderate" comments like I don't think po-po should shoot at unarmed citizens that haven't done anything wrong, he'd be SURE I'm a bed-wetting lib & go at it! He took these supposed party lines way too far into the indefensible, untenable really.
Would like to see him take a break, come back & chill on being a political vanguard or just come back is OK too.
-
being indefensible and untenable seemed to be his charm.
:azn:
anyway, we need a few rabble rousers to stir things up. We can't rely on Chad to take on the full burden.

You don't show up until page 5 at least I'm on 2.

Maybe Lannis is refraining from Wild Guzzi respecting the Advent season for a more meaningful Christmas
-
Ok, time for me to chime in. He sent me a message a few weeks ago. He's simply taking a break. He's alive. He's well. We can move on now.
-
Well it seems like it's not an unauthorized absence after all. Thanks Luap!
-
Only Lannis could have a three page thread without posting. :smiley: :smiley:
-
Chuck
you can be sure if he was posting it would have been much more than three pages.....

Are we absolutely certain the op, so called "Don Ivey" guy is in fact NOT Lannis himself?
