Nextmanup Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 Yes, we used to have a thread dedicated to this, but I couldn't find it. In the thread, I said "Don't worry, he'll be back." Well, the pre-season is upon us, and he is not back. It looks like he isn't coming back. He's still over at the Sabres section of HFboards, so he is not dead. Any theories as to his disappearance? I find it really interesting. He went from quite literally dedicating his life to posting on this forum to nothing. What happened?
Augie Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 I don’t know, but I thought there was some unnecessary piling on. Maybe I missed where he did some things to “deserve it”? I never minded more content and info. 1 1

Maybe I missed where he did some things to “deserve it”? I never minded more content and info. He was a first rate (censored) and his general take on things was way out in left field. He was pretty consistently clueless in his assessment of Bills related issues. I had a few duels with him over time. One was with EJ; I took the position from Day 1 that EJ was terrible; he thought he would improve and be good. But I didn't mean for this to be a discussion about 26CB as a poster, but rather, the shift in his behavior from being involved with this forum 24/7 to leaving it entirely. It strikes of some kind of hard core OCD issue or...I don't know what exactly. Someone suggested in the old thread that he was somehow paid to post at this forum! Maybe he changed jobs! 1
Augie Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 Or.....maybe he just got tired of the grief? I really have no idea, it is what it is. Moving forward!
Seasons1992 Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 I think @YoloinOhio hip-checked him into the Niagara Gorge.......... 1 1 1 1

Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 “The Wrong Josh” thread was his undoing. Now I hear he feeds pigeons popcorn at the park a lot. 5 1
Lurker Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 Too bad he left. I come here 90% of the time for news, which he was great at providing links to... 1 1

I really have no idea, it is what it is. Moving forward! I think you're missing my point. Why does the average poster come here, hang out for a while, and then leave? Who knows and who cares! That's not interesting. But when you post hundreds of things a day literally around the clock, 7 days a week, for a period of years, and then stop it entirely, that's interesting. At least to me. As I said, it seems like an OCD issue; obsessive compulsive activity while it struck him as the thing to do, followed by that next phase of wanting absolutely nothing to do with it anymore b/c he's 110% burned out. Or something like that. Lots of people are like this in all sorts of activities and hobbies. They immerse insanely deeply, only to withdraw entirely. Or as I said, maybe the Russians stopped paying him for his disinformation campaign! LOL Edited August 10, 2019 by Nextmanup 1

He's still posting now and again at a Sabres forum; he's still around. Though I have heard that yolo throws one hell of a mean hip check.

I'm sure many will have that attitude. However, as I said, I personally find it an interesting discussion point. I agree it is better without him. I used to laugh at the number of new threads that would be started, only to have 26CB dump all over them in the second post. Like he was stalking, monitoring the forum all day long, waiting for a new topic to be created, only to pounce and then piss all over it with a really negative, toxic first response. He did that hundreds of times. Edited August 10, 2019 by Nextmanup
Cripple Creek Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 @ShadyBillsFan has taken assumed his mantle with @Mike in Horseheads keeping the shoutbox well informed on current events. 2 1
RaoulDuke79 Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 I appreciated his contributions. It's good to hear he's not deceased or incarcerated. 1

I don't think that would have been likely just based on the content of his posting, but who knows. Obviously he could have been dead or in very bad health, that can hit anyone at any time. But I can report he seems to be OK based on his Sabres forum activity.
JoeF Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) He put a lot time into making sure the forum was kept up to date in real time on any and all things Bills related. That was appreciated. I think sometimes when you spend so much time and effort on something you tend to lose perspective and any criticism or disagreement is magnified. I hope he chooses to come back some day but also realizes that Bills news will get here one way or another in a timely fashion. We all have our days when we are hypersensitive and we wouldn't be on this forum for 20+ years unless we had great passion for the Bills. The others who post a lot of news @YoloinOhio @ShadyBillsFan perform a great service to the board, but also seem to keep a great perspective. Thanks to them! Edited August 10, 2019 by JoeF 3 1

But, @ShadyBillsFan has become a mirror image of 26. It’s like they’re one and the same person.
