Jim Drew: Banned from PBN, mounting a sanitation campain on other boards!

[cledford]

Looks like Jim finally nailed his coffin shut on PBN. It appears he posted some things that later he decided could get him into trouble and asked that his user_id be deleted and EVERY post he ever made removed. It smacks of some type of sanitation campaign and he admitted that he was deleting hundreds of old posts a day from PBN as well as all other forums as well. I'm wondering if there is some sort of law suit pending due to the advent of his Impulse board

Anyhow, it might be worth the time find and archive all of the WAS posts you can find as quickly as possible - they look to become collectors items soon.

Here is the PBN thread about the whole thing.

http://www.pbnation.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=356944&perpage=21&pagenumber=1

Jim tries to claim that he is just "consolidating all information about his products onto a (his)single forum" but Manike slaps him down with a pointed comment about what an insult deleting such posts are to his client who he used to brag about selling to by word of mouth.

The funniest part of the thread is when he threatens to sue PBN for not removing posts he freely made in the public domain!

As an aside, way back to the days of the first run-ins with Jim over his "pioneering use of the HES in paintball" and the classic Timmy shootdown issue his posts have had a funny way of disappearing.

PBN is NOT deleting his posts for obvious reasons.

Heres some pertinent links:

Its pretty spread out across those threads, and there are additional links in said threads as well.


As for his stuff mysteriously dissappearing, i have locked and saved as much as possible in this matter wherever possible. I dont MOD alot of sections, but i do however MOD the ICD area.

IMO it was his constant "poop" starting vs. the ICD users that caused him to leave. After repeatedly getting owned on the PBN boards, post after post....i think he finally realized we gave him enough rope to hang himself. It was only a matter of time before everyone realized what a complete dip he is. Here is the last ICD thread, locked and saved for again...obvious reasons.

I was just going to post about this. I don't know what happened, but the mods would be well advised to just delete the stuff rather than create a headache for themselves. You would think this would affect Jim's company, but as the SP case has proven, massive public outcry on the PB forums does not equate to actual impact on the companies.

Were his account and posts deleted from AO?

Maybe his TurboRev can hack into PBN and baleet all his stuff.

I was waiting to see how long it would take for Miscue to chime in.

He was trying to delete them and PBN mod banned his WAS account. So he can't delete them himself. So, in a way, PBN is preventing him from deleting his own posts. But that still is in their right and power to do.

Even if he wasnt banned he CANNOT delete posts in locked threads.

LMFAO

thats a good one. Dont forget the sidewinder missle technology used for testing...did you know that sidewinders are from china in the late 1950s...

[SlartyBartFast]

Maybe one of the original board manufacturers are suing for slander. Considering all the unsubstantiated claims he made....

[cledford]

I doubt Jim's account is banned here and it is likely he will (or has) destroyed his legacy on this site already.

Jim Drew has been a hot topic for almost 2 years and has (IMHO) come to be the human embodiment of what many of us find fault with in most of Paintball's product developers. He only helped fuel this image by how he put himself out there time and again with all of his double speak and back tracking. Someday in the future of paintball I expect his name to stand out as one of those who actions led to a big change for the better in our still emerging/developing infant sport. Jim in my mind is destined to be infamous and his posts should remain as part of the record.

We at AO are actively trying to usher in a new "age" for paintball, one where product manufacturers provide more than hot-air to back up their marketing and claims. Jim Drew has helped create this movement. His posts should be protected.
