Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 numbering of the posts. Used to be you could refer someone st a specific numbered post in a thread if they missed an answer to a question. It came in handy in a multi response thread.

Blackwater 53393 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Things change, NOT always for the better. I miss some of the folks who have passed away or moved on by their own choice or have been excommunicated. Things are different now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I remember when we had a train robbery thread going on. I found a glitch in the software where I could go back in the thread and insert a post. (I was one of the train robbers). For example, if someone came in and said "We'll head them off at the pass", I would go back a couple of posts and say we are going the other direction. Calamity Jane (the original one) discovered the glitch soon after and we led the posse on a wild chase for a number of days! Fun times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I wish they would put numbered posts in this forum as well as the wire forum. With all the twinkies and snowflakes posting it would a lot nicer to say "the Bozo in post 9 hasn't the foggiest idea what he is talking about" than run the risk of someone else miscounting and thinking they are the Bozo.

Quoting is simpler. And just to avoid confusion, you are post number 7. Unless the mods delete something, that will change post numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I joined in 06, I think. It was a lot more rowdy and you could say things and show things that would get you excommunicated nowadays!! And what I’m talking about isn’t the “vulgar language or innuendo” as much as it is the open and frank, (at times) dialogue that is now considered confrontational or worse, Politically Incorrect!! Boston John and Longshot Logan are no longer with us. Others are gone too! My buddy, Tennessee Stud is permanently exiled, (he does look in once in a while, and sends greetings to his friends). It’s like the Ritz Cracker commercial from long ago, where the guy is trying to counterfeit Ritz Crackers and he’s showing his copies to some gangsters. The head gangster takes a bite, chews on it for a second and then says, “Just don’t taste the same!” Things change… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Lt. Col. Martha Jane Canary (pretty sure that's what she ended up with) is Canadian. She would occasionally cross the border to shoot with somebody or other. Maybe the "taking guns into and out of the country BS" became a little much. Last I heard she had made a cannon. 1-inch bore.

She paid for a gold badge, which meant she had that alias forever, and then they took it back. According to her, Calamity was a Canadian (from Manitoba), and they did not want the registered alias of an American old west icon like Calamity Jane outside of the U.S. She gave up CAS and returned to figure skating competitively for her age group. She was a figure skater in her younger days. I used to enjoy reading her posts as they were so well done, and she played the Calamity Jane part to the hilt.

Pat Riot Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 The Calamity Jane incident must have been after my time but before my time now. I left in 2006, returned 2016. Years ago the Saloon was a barrel of fun. The stories that everyone participated in and actually followed the rules of storytelling, unlike today when something in the water must make people A.D.D. prone. I also remember the Wire vanishing for days and losing my login credentials and having to essentially start over. I remember signing on and accessing a thread and it taking a few minutes for the thread to open because someone posted a photo or the system was locked up. I remember the Wire going down and was down for days, maybe a week and when it came back everyone’s clock and post count started over. So some things aren’t what they were but some things are much, much better. We could make this like the old Saloon again, of course we could never replace the people that are no longer on or with us. Many of you were in the Saloon years ago. My favorite times in the Saloon were our Irish Cattle Company threads / stories. Those were fun times indeed. Pat Riot, Co-owner, Irish Cattle Co.

Smoken D Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 And then there was the political forum I believe it was called. Not family oriented fer sure. But boy could some name throwing go on there. A lot of trolls to keep things excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I miss a lot of old regulars, including Nubbins Colt and Sixgun Shorty, though both have checked in a couple of times over the last year or two. I really enjoyed Texas Man's tales of the border. I came here in 2004, so 'new old' I suppose.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kloehr Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I wasn't here then, but curiosity got me digging. Regarding Calamity Jane, I found this post by @Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217: Calamity Jane Canary's Splatter Report is in that post. The original server at GeoCities no longer has it. Good reading!
