Greetings and Salutations!

then what is eltanque prohibido?

That would be the prohibited tank as in a banned Merkava.

As for that F80, if anything has worn, it might be the finish from excessive polishing. However, I seem to remember him complaining about sharp grooves and his delicate hands somewhere else recently. That will probably end with a lengthy thread about the merits of various brands of heat shrink. he's definitely one in a million.

[Conductor562]

How many names has Merk worn out now?

 

[gsingh]

Damn, when did he get banned?

 

[redwrench60]

You'll not hook this fish!!

 

[redwrench60]

Damn, when did he get banned?

Bout a month ago or so. I liked the guy...I once told him I used side cutters for cutting metal objects, then I asked him if he used his for trimming tampon strings.....he didn't cuss me out or anything!

 

[superautobacs]

Merk....funny guy.

He hated any handle that had a hanging hole built into it....he said his pinky gets stuck in it.
He performs an annual maintenance on all of his screwdrivers by cleaning up the tips with a wire brush.

Some good company in this thread! Hi guys!!

[Conductor562]

Add up all the posts Merk has under all of his aliases and he's probably pushing 20,000

Anyone know why he was banned?

 

[Farmall450]

Anyone know why he was banned?

Mods maybe?

 

[redwrench60]

Anyone know why he was banned?

Yeah they banned CWP1616L because they found out he was Merkava4.

 

[hallboyone]

Seriously, how does one get banned?

That's a Simple question with a complicated answer.

 

[hallboyone]

That's a Simple question with a complicated answer.

Fair enough.

 

[redwrench60]

Fair enough.

I'll take a stab at it.

You get banned for pretty much the same thing that gets you kicked out of a bar.

Picking a fight/arguing
Breaking the house rules and ignoring warnings
Soliciting or spamming
Showing back up as a new member after being previously banned

 

[Danglerb]

Seriously, how does one get banned?

Best serious way for a perma ban, do something that could potentially cost the site owner money.

Personal attacks, threats, fall into that category.

Could be as little as being disruptive, off topic, trolling (inciting trouble).

 

[Coach James]

Merk's fuel filter thread is still one of my favorites.

[sk farmer]

did some merk searching this evening and thought it was time for a bump and for some of the old timers to chime in.

 

[redwrench60]

Well, what did ya come up with? Is he still among us or did he give it up?

 

[sk farmer]

he is still at bitog. i have not heard from him in ages. haven't seen him at the gazette either but it looks like stole all of our smilies.

 

[redwrench60]

I liked him pretty well. I wasn't around for his first banning but I was for several of his re appearances. Pretty easy dude to get along with. Thought the place was better off with him in it but that's not up to me. I can't help but think he's still lurking here somewhere....

 

[KamiCrit]

HOLY JEEZ

There is an entire forum devoted to motor oil? I know us "tools guys" must look weird from the outside looking in but I mean really. I thought the indepth motor oil talk was more reserved for the testing and analysis technicians.

51K topics and about a million posts about consumer motor oil. Is there really that much to talk about?

I feel like I've stumbled upon an entirely new world and I'm trying to figure out who the alien is...

 

[Moose-LandTran]

he is still at bitog.

Is he active there? I haven't spoken to him for years, but still have his phone number and address somewhere. He's a good guy.

 

[48548]

My bad for bringing up red lube of love

 

[Fedwrench]

It's ok. There are worse things to remember him by.

 

[Todd.Brock]

Never , ever apologize for the Red Lube of Love. That the was the lubricant that kept the GJ going in the earlier days.
