So whatever happened to DUer Hoyt?

[yonder]

Sometimes he'd take a devils advocate approach to topics — did that get him booted?

1. Not seeing his account any longer

It was under review a while back




✌🏻

3. I generally respected his arguments. Kept oneself thinking.

2. I can't get his name to show up in the message search, but a general google site search does:

5. Thanks. Here one day, tombstoned the next. I'll miss his voice.

[Scrivener7]

6. I'm sad about that one.

9. What does flagged mean? Has he been given a warning or not allowed to post anymore? Thanks.

10. It means you got 5 hides in 90 days and...

You are done.

[debm55]

11. Thanks jcgoldie. I know the word tombstone. But let's say in those roughly 3 months that people just

didn't like your posts for whatever reason, you could be gone? I signed up in 2004 and read. I was too afraid to post as I didn't
feel I was smart enough to post. I may have read some of his/her posts. Thanks again.

7. I miss Hoyt ... hell I kinda miss Oberliner and EffieBlack (sp) too

I like hearing all sides/thoughts.

[yonder]

8. Agree. I was trying to remember Oberliner's name just the other day.

13. Oberliner FFR (2019), EffieBlack PPR (2021), StarfishSaver PPR (2021)

I have been confused about when FFR is used versus PPR and am still not sure, but it doesn't seem to be a recent change in approach.

On edit, I see comments that EarlG determined EffieBlack and StarfishSaver to be the same poster.

That does explain a lot.

12. Weird, I just thought about him today too.

I also liked his posts.
