BillyVance 33 #1 April 10, 2015 Relax Greenies Since that thread and its contents are no longer welcome on here, I've set up a group in GroupMe. It is probably limited to 40 or 50 members so first come first served. You can log in via computer, laptop, or tablet. You can also download the GroupMe app on your phone, if it supports the app (Blackberries don't). Even if your phone doesn't support the app, you can get content sent to your phone via SMS. It allows changes to your preference in settings on how you want to receive content so there's flexibility. Best of all, there will be no moderation of content. I only ask that there be absolutely no child porn. You are free to come join, and leave the group at any time. Also, it seems that it holds a certain amount of pics and any new pics that are added, the oldest ones disappear. PM me for the group name and group ID info and I'll help get you in. Usually will need your email address or your cell phone number. Let's get this bitch up and running!

BillyVance 33 #3 April 10, 2015 yoinkSeems like a good idea. I think so too... GroupMe is pretty easy to use. There might be some wonkiness with the smart phones when it's installed at first, but after a short time it's running smoothly, and you can mute notifications for the group if you don't want to be bothered when something new is posted. I had thought about Facebook, but I quit that last Summer. I don't think it would be a good platform for this content, as they are heavily moderated too."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 554 #10 April 14, 2015 You are the first poster I have ever seen in any on-line forum make repeated posts attempting to pull users away from the forum you're posting on. For some odd reason, it's being tolerated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 33 #11 April 14, 2015 What's wrong with that? The powers that be decided they didn't want the content on here anymore. Fine with me. There are people that wanted to keep it going so I'm obliging them. They can still come on here for the rest of the forums. I'm not trying to pull them away from here. Now if I started my own forum and tried pulling people away from here, then that'd be different. ETA: Besides, starting the sick and twisted thread in the first place actually made the mods' jobs easier. All the shit was in one thread, instead of posting new threads all the time. I was okay with the original thread being locked, but shitcanned in the recycle bin? Now people can't go back in there and look for something they remembered seeing before. Oh well, cest la vie."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 554 #12 April 14, 2015 Forums succeed on revenue. Actively attempting to take users away from here is wrong IMO. This is a skydiving forum, not a disgusting forum. Maybe taking the ones that want that content IS a good idea. Don't let the door hit you in the ass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gowlerk 1,801 #13 April 14, 2015 It's not a competing forum. It has no skydive content at all. Just an invitation to join us in activities that are no longer tolerated here. It's a win-win situation, not a zero sum contest.Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

I don't see any mods bitching me out over this. God knows I've given them enough grief. I can be an asshole sometimes, but I do try to help. Again, for your reading comprehension, I'm not taking users away from this site. They can check in on my groupme group and surf here at the same time if they want to. Don't like it? I don't care.

theonlyski 2 #16 April 14, 2015 BillyVance You can log in via computer, laptop, or tablet. You can also download the GroupMe app on your phone, if it supports the app (Blackberries don't). Even if your phone doesn't support the app, you can get content sent to your phone via SMS. I thought we were pretty successful getting the old BBM crew to migrate to iPhones?

lawrocket 3 #18 April 14, 2015 It was said the content wasn't tolerated by the Head Honcho himself. Which is fine. So Billy said if you want that content then there's a place to go. Billy was told to take it somewhere else. So he is. The blackberry messenger group didn't take anyone away from this forum. And that was years ago that it started. Totally unmoderated. Billy's thread in here was like having sex in church. The bishop decided to say no sex here. So billy and others are off fucking around and still coming here to church.

The old BBM group through the current GroupMe group really puts the Bonfire to shame. It's like Comedy Central with zero filter 24/7/365. The group has ranged from the original 3 to as many as 20 people over the years. It's awesome. Right now we have the original GroupMe group of friends, plus the separate GroupMe group for the sick and twisted stuff for those that just want to see that content."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well in all actuality, I was serving a forum-wide month-long ban, and Sangiro started cleaning out some shit he didn't want anymore. Nothing I could do about it until I got back on. I ain't complaining about the ban, but I thought it was funny that I got banned for just calling out some guy who was being a dick in the Incidents forum "why do you have to be a dick on here? Speakers Corner is over there". Given my history, I can't complain, at least I'm still here.
