NEWS FLASH! NEWS FLASH! The Ray Saga Continues!

Hi, Imperialist!     I'm delighted you're still with us!    

When I had discovered that the website had an expiration date (and informed Skul of this development), I and Skul repeatedly attempted to communicate with Ray by sending him PMs and e-mails, first, to ask him what would happen when the expiration date had come, and then, secondly, why he had chosen to delete the entire forum.  I had also known that Ray had a Facebook account, which I had seen before; so, I even attempted to send him a private message there.  But, lo and behold, I soon discovered (much to my dismay    ) that Ray had * gasp * de-Friended me    from his Facebook wall.  (Ya know, I don't think I'll ever recover from this terrible blow!                   )  No reply henceforth would ever come from the mysterious Ray (otherwise known as "Ray the jerk").  Yes, Imperialist, "(t)he mystery is yet to solved."  Only his hairdresser knows for sure!



Incidentally, a few days ago, I was banned again from the remainder of his website; and that was merely for leaving a message in the Guestbook attempting to inform i_like_1981 -- and anyone else who was interested -- that the forum had been moved to another URL; in other words, nothing controversial or insulting to Ray,  although he deserved to be insulted.

Before I was de-Friended from Ray's Facebook wall     , I had the opportunity to gaze upon photographic images of Ray in all of his photogenic glory.  He's a white-haired guy in his fifties (although he acts like he's still in junior high school), and he looks like a Southern gentleman.  (Well, he does live in Florida.)  But I tell ya, folks, he ain't no gentleman!



(I couldn't find a better picture.)

By the way, Skul, I'm also unable to log in under my old username.  Doesn't matter, though.

The forum at SportsSuck.org is back up. For whatever reason. Me and Earl have been demoted to members, Ray, Don, and Roselyn are now moderating the forums (apparently). Ray's only post, so far, is to a two-year-old thread.

Pretty much every single thread that was there is still there. Although, i_like_1981's post count has gone down by exactly 600, for some reason (he left when it hit 1981).

So yeah, our old home is back, almost completely untouched.

Ray... what is going on in your head?
