SFB may well be the kinda guy you can text out of the blue after 10 years and say "hey, you still alive?", but I'm not gonna take the chance. Hope he is though!

That's consistent with what they've been saying since the purchase. They do seem up-front and honest in all their mod forum notifications/comments.

If they really paid 7 figures just for an existing user base though... I mean how big do they think the dying forum market is?

wasn't asking if he was still around in the 2+2 still posting frame of reference,
was asking if he was still around in the 'hey, is skipperbob still alive' frame of reference.
SB was tons of fun back in the day and i'm just curious to know his current status.

I'm friends with Irieguy's SLF on Facebook and we share a bunch of mutual friends. I feel like I would have heard or seen something. I could ask around, but "Hey is Skipperbob dead?" just feels like a weird way to message someone I haven't talked to in a while.

Unreliable google sleuthing indicates he was 78 years old, alive, and living in Las Vegas at least somewhat recently.

Your post inspired me to do exactly that with irieguy and had a decent chat. Didn't ask about skipperbob though.

Meh, there is crazy people everywhere. We might have a slightly higher percentage, but if so it would be slightly. Idiots saying crazy **** to get attention is the new norm. If we all just ignored them they would stop.

Ok but in Idaho all the hospitals are in triage mode, issuing do not resuscitate for cardiac arrest, and you now have a nutjob leading some important public health agency. These are all concrete things that don't go away by ignoring them.

Some hospitals in northern Idaho, with more being at risk of needing to. It's definitely not good. And actually this is a perfect example of a problem that would go away if we all just ignored people saying crazy stuff. Maybe not though. Pandemics gonna Pandemic. I'm hopeful slightly higher vaccine rates makes enough difference to prevent other states from getting to this point. Delta moves pretty fast though.

I’m making my first return to Vegas since 2008 WSOP the last weekend in January to present at a conference. Anyone around Vegas these days?

Thanks. But I think I only met him once briefly. Or maybe not at all. My memory is bad!

Haha. I’d forgotten about this. I had to look it up. It was a 32 way chop.

I can honestly say I've never done anything close to that. I think 8 way is my record.

I chopped a live mtt 2 way with Irieguy once. I was chip leader. It was a long time ago but I think Irieguy was the one refusing offers to chop from the other players (I think maybe one other player earlier didn't want to) till it was just me and him then he immediately said "wanna chop?". We probably weren't too popular.
