Welcome to the ClassicVanHalen.com.
I didnt know Kimmie, but I miss chatting VH with Nelah. Her positive energy towards VH was infectious and fun.

Kimmie just rolled with it, but Sum wasn't too keen on Nelah.
Sum & Kimmie go way back (to the Links).
I always thought Kimmie looked like Ginger Lynn.
I can't imagine Sum standing it at all at the Links haha. Bless him.
Where's he been ?

Yes, we haven't had a poem for a while
Something quite nice to bring a smile
Thank you for the rhyme and the words
It is better than this one which I think is for the birds
Meanwhile, back to the main topic....hope you had a good bd, champ
...ummmmm...if one posts here, they can't be "fallen" any longer can they? Technicality, semantics, call it what you will.
The OP is a cool post yeah...of course everyone would have their own take on it but hey, that's human nature.
EVH Guitars didn't run me off at the time. The fact that he was causing ridiculous disruption in the thread and that unchained was blindly backing the guy was annoying but after all, it's the internet...lots of things are annoying.
I just decided that I wouldn't return at the time because the moderator at the time (wasn't it IronicA?) was buddy buddy with unchained and therefor backed unchained regardless of the circumstances. Since unchained backed EVH Guitars and IronicA backed unchained...well, it was cut and dried. Fair was not going to be fair. And I am not referring to the disagreement about guitar brands, I am talking about moderation double standards. So much time has passed now that it doesn't matter but it mattered at the time. It also mattered that unchained and I were friends - at least I thought that we were at the time and he was generally just stabbing me in the back. Like I said, a lot of time has passed so it doesn't matter now but it mattered then.
I even thought for a while that EVH Guitars was an alt that unchained made back then but never had the proof and only half of the belief. I did have proof that unchained was being friendly to me one on one but trashing me otherwise though. Another thing that I never had proof of was EVH Guitars' actual guutar knowledge as he never posted anything specific to a guitar only generalized claims and he couldn't corroborate any actual information. Unchained stated that EVH Guitars was actually a big time guitar tech as he supposedly told unchained that in PM but of course unchained wouldn't say for who and EVH Guitars never discussed anything technical about guitars here so by the preponderance of the evidence, he was nothing.
That leads to more on IronicA. Somehow he became the moderator and things were smooth for a while but after the Kramer vs Charvel thread (so much great stuff was lost in a couple of crashes or forum hijacks - some funny and some ridiculous but MUCH was lost) there was still some unrest going on and Iro accused multiple members of being the same user and when one user called Iro out on it, Iro banned the user for not openly apologizing to him. The other users were left alone because somehow 'it was a glitch' that had other users showing as the same I.P. but not the one who called out Iro, so the only way that he could save face was to ban the user. I saw it all. Every bit. With people not being treated equally and EVH Guitars basically disrupting the entire Forum & with the moderator biased and on his side...who stays at a house party when one dude is ruining it but has the support of the person who is running the party? Not me.
Some people got temporary bans and the website owner was away periodically so one time he gets online after a while away and unchained had just been put on a temporary ban. The owner just lifted the ban without looking into it. I think because he thought that unchained was a long time member and that it might have been an error so he lifted it. He decided not to put the ban back in place even after learning why it was put on. Anyway, there was a lot of chaos for a place that used to be quite fun.
1sum2 was a great guy. A lot of fun back in those times.
As for Waynerd who is also mentioned in the OP...I still have a message from him in the PMs here. It's almost like "you are bullying me, just like the rest of these people" sort of tone. Rather sad.
