Where is stoyve and others?

[Chewy]

That's strange.

Yeh i remember him AR but never knew him.

As Chewy says that is strange.....hope he is lying on a beach somewhere in the Maldives with no internet reception living off the proceeds of that 300 ouncer he found.

I also miss Trent, Digger Dude, who is one of the very few full time professional prospectors, and made a lot of good contributions to the forum. As I understand it he got banned around the time of the sale of the forum, maybe for not being very supportive of that idea.

I am a bit concerned about johnb. We were getting along fine and then he rang me and I answered and a broken msg similar to what he left in my voicemail. I have no idea of where he digs as we didn't meet up yet and he only lives a few km up the road ( I never got his address either )
Kind of don't have anything to check up on him with. He was keen as buggery to meet and dig with me but its now been at least 4 months since those messages. I hope he is happy laying on a beach somewhere too

I remember Digger Dude and heapdsup too... I didn't know the site was sold.. not to the usa I hope

I agree with you there DrDuck
He is a serious prospector with a lot of knowledge to impart and a great bloke to boot.
I still feel {as many,many others do} that his banning was unwarranted.
But just as a heads-up he's doing well and living the dream...

 

[DrDuck]

Yep, I've met Trent a couple of times, and agree that he is a top bloke.

 

[Digger Danny]

It makes me think with 6,034 members how many are active and how many have not even log in for the last 12 months. There seems to be a fair few that have disappeared. The game with DT's prize the other night I think there was only 53 members on.

Cheers, DD

Yeh DD aka Trent is a great bloke hes contribution to the forum was huge!! i caught up with DD on a few occasions for a dig and detect and found he was living the lifestyle

I was very much there when trent left the forum he wasn't "banned" as such he was getting quite frustrated with misinformation being posted and he had a few chops at some members in sync he got some comments moderated which stirred him up a bit harder.

You will notice most of our geologists have a hard time in here due to us prospectors interpretation of our own finds and explanations of things. We lose quite a few because of their frustration and the info we post being non factual but our own experience.

DD did email me first before venting his frustration with Nugget just to say had had enough and this was well before the sale of the forum, it was actually at the time of paid membership being bought in and he didn't agree with that either.

Its unfortunate that it went that way but Trent had his own stresses in his life as we all do and i think the forum became some what of an additional aggravation for him so he called it quits. we lost a few members around the same time as when someones account is closed its states "banned" which is not true at all, many people ask for their account to be closed then run around the other forums and say "look who got banner"

fact is members come and go, i have months at a time when i can put a few hours a day into this forum and then there will be three weeks where i can barely get on, the best bit about this forum is the wealth of knowledge available and when one doesn't reply another does offering up different advice with a different life of experience.

Mate he spoke very highly of you when we caught up, its good to hear him and jacki are doing well.

 

[G0lddigg@]

Any chance anyone is mates with member johnb ?
I havnt had any replies to pms, emails, txt msgs or phone calls. A while ago he sent me a few and a weird broken phone voice message tand I havnt heard back since

havent spoken to john for a while mate, he was getting harrased from some XXXXhead a while back and didn;t tell me about it till it had gone on for a few months, as we wasnt able to senmd me any of the messages we couldn;t do anytin g about it. "ive go got his address if you wanted to go and check on him, hes a nice bloke i remember once i was catching up with him and he was going on holidays, on the way out he heard a noise from the engine popped the bonnet and got his wife to hold it, when they kicked the engine back over the door came down and broke hjis poor wifes hard, so they were on holiday (in the hospital) for two weeks, dont think he will ever live that down.

I always thought when your banned you show as "banned".
When you ask for your account to be closed it says "account closed" or you show as "guest".
My old log in shows as guest & causes some confusions :lol:
DD has stated elsewhere recently that he was banned from here? Either way I doubt what goes on here would be worrying him too much now - keeping himself busy on the gold from all accounts.

 

[G0lddigg@]

yeh theres been a change since hes account was closed, it was requested that accounts not be labeled as banned when they weren't. its darn confusing. i agree i doubt he cares less for the forum with all that gold

i dont really want to get into he said she said, it was along the lines of GD just letting you know this is the email i will be sending nugget, dont expect to see me on here anymore and sure enought nugget closed/banned his account call it what you want i'm 100% confident it was a mutual split

i do get the odd email about your old account lol

lets face it, if DD wanted to come back hed be welcome anytime, hes only need to ask and we would reinstate hes account.

 

[Panda]

Puddler Bill (Darren).....if your reading this mate i hope that you will reconsider and make a return bro!

The only right thing to do is continue to share your vast knowledge amongst us and i feel sure you know that deep down.

Forget the past, move into the future with us at PA ok!

Your missed mate.

Regards

Wayne

If memory serves me correctly PB, was looking at moving into politics and said that he won't be posting as much, but then again I used to dabble in a bit of amature fighting back in the day.........so maybe a few to many blows to Ye ole cranium! :lol:

Amateur is correct. If you had worked on keeping your eyes open you might have got close enough to your opponent to engage in some form of attack other than cranium first. Put him in the ring it will make a man of him. Parental abuse mate, for shame.

 

[Tathradj]

Carefull.

Trent got banned before the sale to HarriL.from overseas.
He got banned for telling "nugget" how he felt about the fees for this site where members were paying it monthly and all the information was given freely. HarriL bought this site from "nugget " so it's his business to make money. He is the owner of this site and if he is not making money then he will shut it down.

 

[user 4485]

Looks like the OP found greener pastures too.

Harril is an honorary Aussie now !
