Beretta.net

I suppose I should have done this long ago. Many of you won't remember me from my service, years back (about 5) but I made a long overdue appearance at Bfest this year. Some told me it was long overdue.

I was only 1 of two Medium Garnet GTZs that attended for many years. (Pride being the second)

I was a global mod of this board for many years when the boards first started (way to date myself... back in 99/00)

I was a channel mod from the IRC days with Gorman.

I was the originator of the "watermelon award" before we had such things.

and yes, I was passed out with heat stroke/hangover at the park (the Sun and I have a love hate relationship)

Eventually I stopped wanting to go, or caring about Beretta Fest and the board - Life was not working out on the line I wished to take it, and I had grown tired of the immature, child like culture that was taking hold. In fighting, out fighting, and everything in between...

I had enough and removed my administrator status

I stopped posting. Maybe I would log in once every couple months, but even that fell out of the way. Eventually, the account was deleted. ( post counts tells people how smart you is! )

I still talked to the many friends I had made, always hung out with, traveling together, visiting - ripping out car parts in the rain for 3100 conversions... Good times, but something was missing.

Slowly, ever so slowly, I was being tempted without the realization of such. Mike, Geoff, Cliff and more... Beheld the wonder that things had evened out and turned around. People had grown up. Allowing Beretta Fest to be what it was like the first time I had attended - An open event that was a creation of fun and happiness, not a destroyer. That was exciting to me. Life had also turned around, allowing me opportunities.

So I attended...

All manual options - weird right?

I remember you. Figured it was time you came back.

Want to be a Mod again? I need a hand around here... I'm seriously the only one who is approving posts lately unless Will comes on. I never see Geoff on here at all anymore. But he is busy trying to off load his house and keep his head above water.

Will had asked me at bfest to retake up the mantle. Just not sure if I want to face the hate that mods tend to bank up while trying to be partial to everyone.

It's something I can think about if you guys really do need the help.
