DT.Net remembrances, gossip, dirt and flaming. Warning-NSFW May have bouncing boobs

[TwistedNadine]

With drama like this who needs soap operas.
Looking forward to Part II
Reading these stories Im not sure if Im disappointed or glad TDT doesnt have similar shenanigans. Good entertainment value.

Enter new member "Dolan". Dolan was an abrasive, brash, openly gay, 20ish Collector from New York. Essentially crashing in much like Shannon did, but lacking all of the politeness that Shannon exhibited.

Dolan's avatar was a facial pic of himself. No big deal, except somehow tippy4 (still had the turtle avatar) and Dolan got into it. I remember tippy4 telling Dolan that (paraphrasing) "what kind of a freak uses an actual picture of his ugly face for his avatar?"
A terrible brouhaha ensued. Kenny (Dolan) was want to call anyone he disagreed with a "fucker, asshole, etc." openly in posts. He was very profane and insulting. Thus the site was a must visit. Everyone was literally sitting by hitting refresh every two minutes for the new combative post to appear. Great great fun.

In their infinite wisdom, Management and staff decided that the best way to corral Dolan was to "Promote him". They correctly figured that once in charge, Dolan would become a bossy, rule enforcing Moderator Nazi.

I think you are sensationalizing a bit.

Yes, I made a snarky comment to Dolan about his avatar. It was more along the lines of "I think you should rethink that picture". It went back and forth, and it may have gotten to the level you describe...but for the record, it did not START OUT like that.

Eventually, he and I made up, and when he was temporarily banned from the site, I defended him and even started using FREE DOLAN in my signature.

I was banned a few months later probably, but I snuck back on under another name and kept a low profile.

All that said, as I have gone on the record in saying in the past...I was kind of a dick back then (well more of a dick then I am now anyhow)...and me commenting on Dolan's picture was a dick-thing to do. Kenny, if I have not already apologized, I do now. Sorry man.

Hey, I had that "19" Ka-Tet logo. I wasn't outraged that he spent my $2 (or was it $12?) toward car repairs or whatever. I figured he had already covered the costs of running the site so long that my donation was no net profit for him anyway. I was disappointed when it looked like he might let the site die, though.

I had one of those as well!! I believe it was $10, burt I couldn't say for sure. I thought they were pretty cool.

[Bad Penny]

I intentionally stayed away from all the bs that was going on at the time. I was just interested in King, not in the crap.

With you 100% on this one John !!!!

Well, you just adapted the narrative. Yes I remember the "break up-make up" between you two. I also remember the reason(s) Kenny (Dolan) was temporarily banned.
This is not (nor was it ever intended to be), professional journalism. It's a remembrance, with gossip and innuendo...
The narrative is also not strictly linear. Many stories move back and forth.
Enjoy, and keep the comments coming. At least now some of the female members might even venture here...

BP, I don't believe you were there in ~2005, but if so, what was your screen name?
This isn't about drama now, it's about the drama then.

Could it be that we have another "confused" member? If so, there is no one I would like to join the ranks of the "confused" as "Bad Penny"!!! LOL

I am in this thread all the time, mostly to find out if more dirty old man stuff has been posted so I can show my hubby. lol

At least now some of the female members might even venture here...

Christine Ventures here so she can feed her Hubby.
Truth be told Im not fond of the booby pics 'cause Im jealous but I long ago decided I would rather spend my $ on books rather than boobs... (meaning a Boob JOB for those dirty old men who might have gotten a different idea)

No worries, TN. We like you just the way you are!! You're a very good person and that is what matters.

Now, onto to the "Boobie" pics!!! LOL

Spoiler:

We're still red, blooded American males, TN!!! LOL LOL

P.S. I am digging the memories that come from these .net re-tellings.

I love this thread! TN just think if you decided that long ago you would rather spend your money on books than boobs, you could have possibly purchased a tray cased copy of the stand way back then, sell it now, use the money from only one book to get the boobs that make you jealous and make all the dirty old men drool and just think, you would only have one less book...... and TWO extra additions.... just sayin.

Actually I don't know you TN and you have obviously been around here a lot longer than I have so I'm just jokin around its obviously a personal preference thing, just depends on whose preference you care about,,,, hahaha

As a gentleman, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt. Plus, I have witnessed many kindness' you have done for members here. I feel I "know" you to some extent. Past that, I don't want to know!! LOL LOL LOL

[Patrick]

I remember Tippy's FREE DOLAN campaign. He was very vocal about how asinine he thought it was to ban Dolan. An fine act of solidarity and support for a fellow collector. I think a number of us then adopted that slogan in our sigs for a while, or maybe that is just a false recovered memory.

[Patrick]

Here are the prints I received in my Palaver bags. I believe each one is signed by the artist, including Whelan's. I probably discussed these in more detail in my collection thread when I posted this pic a few years ago, but no one ever goes there anymore, not even me.

[TwistedNadine]

Really like the SK image bottom row third from the left. Havent seen that one before

[Room 217 Caretaker]

Really like the SK image bottom row third from the left. Havent seen that one before

D. Anderson print. Very nice!

Time to break out your SoS and flip through all the pretty pictures, TN!

[Randall Flagg]

I decided that it would be better if I was a little more circumspect with details and names from the dt.net days.
I will figure out a way to have some fun, be informative, but also respect the privacy of living non-celebrities.

[Patrick]

You're a good and decent man, Jerome.


I seem to recall that at Palavercon Zero (the first, unofficial one), everybody ended up in the bathtub together. Anyone care to confirm or deny?

[Ari_Racing]

Oh...even when I understand that, it seems that I'll never know what happened to the old dt.net

[Bev Vincent]

Regarding the bathtub: if that happened, I never saw it.

I won't know either. I was not there. Eyewitness accounts are notoriously unreliable.

I'll try and post something tomorrow that
