    And so I bow out.

    QBN has been so much part of my life for over a decade, it only feels right to bit ye all fairwells.
    I got very very sick last year with shear work pressures and it has lead me to seek
    help. The help has made me realise how many negative factors were/are in my life.
    True life is no bed or roses and any group of people has its dramas but in honesty I feel
    I'm no longer getting anything from here. It feels it has become very singular in belief and
    aggressively so. I subconsciously dread clicking to see whom's being bullied today for not following in line.
    I miss seeing artwork, gif of the day as well as the joking and what ever George could come up with his raspberry pi and a few sheets of tin foil.

    I'm aware I'm not overtly that popular and thanks for putting up with my random dyslexic fuckup's.
    I dont fancy having a break down like the others leaving before me have but I am near tears:

    Gardener - keep collecting your records. Your kids short was really well made and I hope he keeps making them.
    Krassy/Drgs - you kicked my arse so many times at chess but I never gave up nor tired! You rock. Maybe one day I'll see you both vs skynet!
    Pango - keep up the good fight and if I'm ever in Van (or you London) defo get in contact
    Shellie - take over hollywood for us - it needs a change. If I ever get good enough sewing those items I'll branch out (you too pango!)
    Simon - it has been incredible watching your photography blossom.
    Benj?(sorry to emotional to search) - love your paintings. Your path has helped me gather the strength to go back into the art route myself if can reclaim my skillset.
    Sea_sea - I still owe you for the stickers. I got sick around that time but I will send over something soon.
    Automation - let me know how the shoot goes and if I can help in anyways. Sorry I never got back to you, it was only due to sickness.
    Dopepope - fucking hell - mad skillz
    Set - I honestly hope you find happiness
    Bennn - keep on explaining.

    Later you bunch of cunts!

    My friend went on a fishing trip over the weekend and generously brought us a whole Yellowfin tuna! We ended up with a generous amount of fillets, collars, and the belly.

    Cleaning and filleting the fish was quite a challenge. I'm no expert, so I probably ended up wasting some of the delicious meat. We've been enjoying sashimi and Poke bowls all weekend long. Tonight, we're looking forward to grilling the collars. :-)

    OMG I've been crying tears of joy for the last 45 minutes straight over some good news I just got from my lawyers about a creative project of mine that was stolen and being profited from. I can barely type or breath and can't even open my mouth to talk without wailing, so unbelievable. I can get my name back and continue doing my creative work, it means so much to me... Even if this might be temporary it's the World to me. Sorry... Whew, just had to let this out.

    lost my pup of nearly 16 years today... she died in my arms about 3 hours ago

    last night the wife and I rushed her to the vet... we were told they didn't want to put her down / felt good about her and sent her home w/us after taking blood etc. Didn't even have time to get the tests back... poor thing went from bad to horrible... she was gone before I could even get her back to the vet (not even a mile from home).

    Anyway... going to miss you Penny (Penelope)... such a fun pup over the years.

    Moderators clearly have double standards...or don't mind having their Moms fucked by docpoz.

    Not advocating docpoz to be expelled, I find it partially funny and luckily nobody is taking him/her seriously.

    But damn...so many rants and trolling and so many Moms fucked...and nothing.

    We're back to old QBN times, thanks Trump!

    LOL!...

    carry on doc...

    • If mods start banning people for swearing and telling people to go fuck their mums, then qbn will be no more. Whats the point! Go fuck yourselves, one and all..set
    • "Not advocating docpoz to be expelled"oey
    • I wrote this cause other trolls have been banned and sometimes I found it too harsh. I'm questioning the standards.oey
    • and actually I think it's fine if docpoz is fucking your Moms.oey

    QBN is sailing into weird waters.

    Posts deleted, users banned for reasons that are not valid for all, threads merged and/or deleted, weird people signing in, users with ten usernames and so on...

    WTF?!

    • No one was banned, oey - I don't know why you keep interpreting that episode that way - he ASKED to have his account deleted.detritus
    • I've heard a rant like this before. You sound like the Morning star. You sound like Lucifer, man!soundofreason
    • And if you think anything in your list there is 'weird waters' for QBN, you've clearly gotten senile in your advancing years - it was always thus. More so...detritus
    • QBN has always deleted posts and threads but most of us don't notice it and it gets forgotten quickly.soundofreason
    • I have also talked about QBN allowing people to use multiple accounts for "the good cause" before.soundofreason
    • I don't care if I get banned, I'm supposed to be renderedred or utopian anyway.soundofreason

    • Anyone remember the Newstoday days? Things would get banned and deleted left and right. It was almost done as a parody of an evil corporation.yuekit
    • "QBN promotes free speech and moderates this board at the exact same time" Something like that hahayuekit
    • #jesuissofasGnash
    • why do we always pick on people? Someone posts a concern and everyone starts to tear the other apart. I read some of sofas comments - agree with some not all.mugwart

    High-five-to-self! My wife and I finally found a house in the suburbs and signed a contract today. We were buying one back in September after selling our condo, but backed out of it because of inspection issues. We moved into a rental condo we own expecting to be there for a month, but the market dried up and we've been there all this time, in a little one bedroom with our daughter sleeping in a play-pen at the foot of our bed.

    Hoping to close in a month and move on with our lives. House is in great shape and we are planning on a significant basement project to remove two crawlspaces and expand the basement to the full footprint of the house to add a fourth bedroom, bathroom, a music room for me and all my guitar and music gear, a storage room, and maybe a playroom for our kids. It's good timing... we've got our second child on the way in June so we're really anxious to get moved. Exciting day!

    • Mono - cabinets are in great shape. We're only going to paint the wood trim and some built in shelves.mg33
    • Great story, a new house is worth to be patient, and sleep on nonsense things... This is how you start a new chapter properly :)sted
    • Congrats! Photos of the development as well please!mugwart
    • Will do with the progress photos. We're really excited... the place is very "us." We don't feel like we're settling, and we can make it even better.mg33

    • I have to hand it to my wife, she's been 100% on board with me having a room to record and play music in throughout our search.mg33
    • I'm pumped that I'll be able to build that out, add soundproofed walls, have a fun space to record and play music with friends.mg33
    • She's even conceded that my record collection would probably look really good stored in the main floor instead of hidden away in a basement. LOLmg33

    one of my favorite parts of deathby's freedom of speech on qbn is my freedom to ignore his responses. he shits all over my posts, giving them ranking where more eyes see his racist and separatist ways.

    i couldn't be happier his attempts to communicate with me are overlooked by myself, however seen by others as further evidence his presence on this forum, at a minimum, is a waste and his viewpoints, which are at best "offensive", are not tolerated or agreed upon by the majority.

    as many others have stated before, qbn is a good place. usually objective perspectives with a humanitarian goal in mind, great sources of artistic inspiration, and the occasional industry thread to remind us what brought us here in the first place.

    recent events have strained us worldwide. to see a forum of hard-headed, creative individuals remain cohesive through it all continues to put a smile on my face.

    • The day will come where he'll phase himself out. His politics aside, it's his personal attacks on people who've chosen to confide in this community that irks meben_
    • granted, we chose to share personal stories on here or not so everyone should exercise caution of course, but his personal trolling is scummy.ben_
    • and on that personal note; after seeing his portfolio site I can understand why he's such a petty, unemployed troglodyte.ben_
    • portfolio site?monospaced
    • ;) mono, oh yes.ben_
    • already said it, but this community helps a lot, thanks guys!grafician
    • Yeah, it's a great community. Has it's ups and downs like just about anything, but I appreciate the knowledge and friendships over the years.ben_
    • More ups and downs than the elevator industry!

    • He's like a box of rocks...but a lot dumber.utopian
    • who is deathboy? a user?maquito
    • never seen his workmaquito
    • visit his profile for his racist comment highlights, and his defense of them ... a real piece of "work" that onemonospaced
    • maquito consider yourself lucky.ben_
    • can we talk about something other than this dboy? i can't follow - also was hard for me to remember drozpox or dropbox...how was his name again? :)=api
    • Amazing how much attention this guy enjoysdrgs
    • no shit, drgs... :/
      Folks on this site perpetuate the presence of deathboy (and the like) and don't even realize it. *giggle—kinda fun to watch but sad too.
      PonyBoy
    • he isn't fun at all thats what makes his posts boring.sted
    • yep—then we get to be double-bored by a mob-overreaction to the troll. Once a week someone's post goes atop the homepage whining about the guy—talk about boringPonyBoy
    • I love your approach to free speech. I say what i say than put the blinders on. doubt you will ever really learn to understand with that approach, but neverdeathboy
    • really your intention right? and im happy to bump your balls buddydeathboy
    • and i dont want attention as much discourse.. hence the notes, but seems i may be the new bad guy being drummed up for sacrifice for the groupdeathboy
    • tribal behavior is strangely always spot. think about my behavior vs others. I state what i think and why. I get insulted. I ask why someone thinks one waydeathboy
    • I get insulted. i defend myself with reason gets debased on amount of posts or other trivial circular fake reasoning. Always answer real questions. Always open.deathboy
    • actually makes perfect sense for a tribal sacrifice. get the mod involved and ill happily step off into the volcanodeathboy
    • set had better visiondeathboy
    • but nothin... more than likely im the trump bump for the NYT. something to talk about and fight against...deathboy
    • wait imbecile you got mod reprimanded for doxxing mono? Why the hell would u do that?deathboy
    • oh yea if forgot i need to call him racist since that is the trend. quit being a racist twat ..imbecile... if his name is an insult ...deathboy
    • I'm out of the loop what happened?mekk
    • absolutely nothing! better ent in sitcomsdeathboy
    • I don't think I've ever heard DB ask whether anybody is alright. Or show any kind of compassion. Just... "This is my opinion. You don't get it. So fuck you all"Ianbolton
    • ian, in some side notes he just called a doctors hippocratic oath "a base protectionism racket" -kingsteven
    • unfortunately this mindset is everywhere, db in his extremes is practice for when you meet em in the pub and make them look like nazis in front of their mateskingsteven
    • "i couldn't be happier his attempts to communicate with me are overlooked by myself". Smug much, Karen?MrAbominable
    • lol, WUT?monospaced
    • db the antisocial pariah.ben_
    • king if you read some history this portion "To hold my teacher in this art...but to nobody else" basic trade union stuffdeathboy
    • be surprised how that was weaponized and used. did you also know abortion in original oath also not allowed? Fun fact!deathboy
    • but go back to that thread since you missed the point of the article. basic question see if you can answer it.deathboy
    • lol WUT?!monospaced
    • are you ok ian?deathboy
