So.... JailCop, does this answer your question?  LOL   

I wonder if the tic-toc will stop at 229 posts?  Echo wonders....

Well people did get upset. And some of us got thrown under the bus. Just because people can't take a joke......well. Nuff said.

That's why some of us left and made our own forums.

Wow three pages and not one model mentioned. . . Anybody know if the airfix string bag is out yet? or does anyone know if trumepter is going to release a horton flying wing anytime soon? Now i feel better

Hmmmm.... it's almost like they should bring back the odds and ends forum with the disclaimer that all non modeling discussion remain there.

Hmmmm..........

Ok so I've gotten curious enough to post this:  Would someone care to explain a few things that appear to be "inside" jokes?  Such as "229"?  and the golden chicken/spine badge?  The iron cross with crossed 229's?  Any others?

 

Don't let it be forgot

That once there was a spot,
For one brief, shining moment

That was known as Camelot

 

Don't let it be forgotten, my friends...

that once there was a thread

and for one swift shiny, flying wing-thing

that was known as Odds and Ends...

Rumor is that he was last spotted during Carnival on some South American beach...

The arguments got so out of hand that Aaron Skinner deleted the entire Odds and Ends forum, as well as any threads pertaining to the subject. A number of members were banned in the process, but I dont know who. It has become a touchy subject since.

 

 

And "Teflon Manny" escaped the axe?

 

Yes...

 

Maybe...

I know i haven't been around that much lately, but i didn't realise i had missed that much. I hadn't noticed the odds and ends had gone, let alone that the 229 thread was missing.

The last time i looked, it was still good natured. Not sure how anyone could get upset over it after all this time. So, is it aloud to say who got banned.

One can only assume, and like I said, I dont know who nor the specific reasoning behind it.

another way to think of it is..

if you were standing around all your male friends.. and asked a question that made you sound henpecked... what would happen then...

and thats all I'm gonna say...

Am I supposed to be hopelessly confused???

...yes

these are the same antics that were involved in the 229 (and other) threads.

Well jeez, mine shot me down on $20 for a kit the other day! lol

Manny,duty calls!

I can hear a faint tic-toc....

The sad part is the original poster created the thread as a bit of a joke, but it snowballed out of control and the thread went viral and ran him off the forums in embarassment.

The REALLY sad thing is it appeared that he didn't get his own joke...

I am running a temperature of well... 229F......

Hope it's not radiation poisoning from the nuking of Odds n' Ends, my hair is falling out but that was going on before The Great 229 Catastrophe of 2011.
