OK, and I suggest you make your signature here an actual link to it. Like mine. Although no one ever clicks on it.thejeopardyfan wrote: I have an idea. I'll take Former TPH off your hands by inviting him to leave his comments on my blog instead. Seriously. All in favor...?
ETA: I put a link to JBoard on my blog.

Re: Wednesday, December 28, 2011 Game Recap & Discussion (SPOILERS)
And I will add that it would be helpful to have a link to JBoard from your blog. The one that was one there points to the old address, so Google is not finding it at all. In fact, Google isn't finding any links to JBoard. That's part of the reason it hasn't been getting ranked very high since the move.

Vanya: I've tried to, ever since I first signed up here. It seems straightforward, but I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. I'll try again when my computer's on. (I'm doing this from my phone.)

Thanks, alietr! Re: your previous post, I don't have a list of links on the site. (It would be a pretty short list!) When I do refer to the boards, I include a link to the appropriate thread.

Just accept that some of us Jeopardy! fans enjoy watching the game even though we suck pond scum at playing it.

I'm gone for a week and look what happens. I 'parked' this username back in July and thought I was doing everyone a favor. It took him almost 6 months to figure it out, didn't it? Lame? I don't think so.omgwheelhouse wrote: I agree. I think they are coming down a little hard on you, (and I do know of you from the old board even if I didn't post then.) Just start reading through archive games and taking notes on the things you don't know if you want to get better. Start watching Top Chef on Bravo (or a gazillion other shows) if you want to learn about fancy food without eating at fancy restaurants. Etc.
And, I think whoever took your screen name is lame; the admin should just delete that name and let you take it back if you want it.
Anyway, on the old board, you could 'ignore' him which was perfectly fine until someone would respond to one of his typical posts:
1. How is anyone supposed to know that...blah...blah...blah
2. Where's the TOM..blah...blah...blah
3. I've never heard of that...blah...blah...blah
4. I don't eat that...blah...blah...blah
The fact that people keep trying to tell him to read more, listen more and pay attention more is mind-boggling to me. It ain't gonna to happen.
THAT is hysterical.Vanya wrote:You needed the password not matching to tell you it wasn't you?Tehshigelisok wrote:I'm Bobby "TenPoundHammer" everywhere else, and I wanna know who already used the moniker TenPoundHammer here. (Wasn't me, since the password didn't match.)

So you stole my username just to keep me from posting here, just because you dislike my posting styles. Even though there are plenty of users who DON'T complain about me.
Wow. I agree, give me my name back.
For those wondering what Tehshigelisok means, it's a piece of gibberish I once saw in a Super Mario World rom hack. I choose it whenever TenPoundHammer is unavailable, because it's something I don't count on a lot of people using.

While I'm as annoyed by TPH's posts as the next person, I find cybersquatting his username to be very rude.

Not only that, but I find his post upthread to be very mean-spirited. One can express annoyance without being mean.
Not to mention that one can simply ignore another. Unless one gets more enjoyment out of being mean.

Re: Wednesday, December 28, 2011 Game Recap & Discussion (SPOILERS)
[mod hat off]I definitely agree, not only is it bad cyber-etiquette, and rude, but also, as you (note "you" in this reply is directed to whoever is cybersquatting the TPH name, not Bamaman, no offence at all meant towards him) found out, it does squat at keeping Bobby off the board - you seem to have low expectations for TPH, but surely you didn't think he wouldn't think of selecting another user name?.Bamaman wrote:While I'm as annoyed by TPH's posts as the next person, I find cybersquatting his username to be very rude.
(As to taking 6 months to "figure it out", it never occurred to you that it took him until we have been working on perfecting the board's ability to be found by others to find us? TPH wasn't the only regular boardie that took a while to find us, and the excellent work of alietr, bpmod, and others have helped long-lost boardies find us, including TPH (and people who have never been on the board before)).
All your stunt did for those who you were "doing a favour" for was put a different name in their ignore file. Fortunately for you, there isn't a file for users who act rude towards their fellow boardies.[/mod hat off]

THey also allow me, another sometimes not liked person, to post here after being banned from the Sony board for a certain unspeakable term here.
