Early morning quake...

[JACKSONFREAK]

My niece was awakened by the quake the first time. but didnt feel the after shock. I was dead to the world when it hit. But i felt the after shock.

[Jacksonchick]

It was felt way up here in Flint Michigan.

Evol,
Check this link. There is even a map comparing the 1895 Charleston, Missouri quake to Northridge.

[GWARGHOUL]

I'm just a bit south of Saint Louis, I guess I must have slept thru it.
We have tremors everyday here in this part of MO. You just can't feel them, but its pretty frequent.

Wtf!!!??

[lerxstcat]

From beyond the grave, GWARGHOUL posts! :ROTF:

[SEEGERMANY]

Maybe the ground shakes more six feet below the surface.

Let me in on it, guys. I'm pretty pissed about this already, I don't know what happened. Where's the "he's dead..." thread?

Bill asked for it to be deleted. A lot of people started saying some not so kind words towards the co-worker

Is Gwarghoul dead? If yes, what's he doing in this thread?

No, he's not dead, it was a hoax.

Gwarghoul says that his coworker posted the fake obit on his laptop while he was away from his desk. People started saying things about his coworker and Bill asked for the thread to be deleted.

Then another thread that discussed the issue was also deleted, and as far as I know nothing ugly was said on that thread.

It'll be interesting to see if this thread is deleted too. I wonder now if it's ugly comments or simply embarrassment to the board that got the second thread deleted.

We probably won't be allowed to post obits anymore because of this shit...

Thanks, lerx. When having been involved in something like this, is it quite disturbing to come back here only to find all the history is gone and gwarghoul posting again. It made me very pissed.

The person(s) pulling threads like this, stuff involving the death of a fellow member, that person should feel obliged to inform this place of the facts. May I suggest a shortlived 5 day sticky with the name gwarghoul included in the subject. I found no such thing. If I missed it, I am sorry.

[lerxstcat]

That would be a service to board members, but I think instead the whole thing was seen as an embarrassment to the board and they wanted to erase it. I don't think that's the best way to handle it, but that's what is usually done with controversial threads.

I found it strange that the Horns666 thread was deleted as well.

Anyone know or want to share the story behind that one? I'd love to know.

We just ran a kicker on the news about a farmer in Illinois who's chicken laid the "earthquake egg". It was twice the normal size with a bunch of funky ridges around the egg. Never saw one like that before.

So, anyone have any dirt on the other thread?

[horns666]

Any obligation and accountability should stop at the only one not present, Gwarghoul. Not the JCF or its members. Steve was present on THIS thread after those threads were deleted and made no complaint or comment about it.

Maybe we would should let it go like Steve (Gwarghoul) obviously did.
