new member long time owner

Post by batmo »

so this is where all the old guard from astrosafari. went!

I just spent a couple of weeks at the other site. what a waste of time! I knew something was up!

I was offline for a while and came back and the old bbs was gone so I had to re register.

what happened anyway?

I hope its OK if I dont fill out my signature line and details. I have several vans so when I ask questions I'll be sure to specify those details. seems matrixx had issues with that over there among other things.


I hope the mods are cool... I dont use javascript/emoticons and alot of people cant understand text without them and read things I post the wrong way. Im not a trouble maker, but have been threatened by the ban before and thats ussually why. just wanted to tos that out there!

anyway, I hope I fit in here and look forward to sharing the infos

Thanks!

Wasn't me, I think you may be possibly talkin about a burnout that Will "V8Safari" was doing in a parking lot.
