New Forum & News Updates

Yep, he always wants personal info. that's not how a public forum works. usernames are used for fun, or if you don't wish to identify yourself. he needs to move to China.

I have to ask that you identify yourself to my satisfaction first.

So now you forcing people to register first before they can view this site?

Reichenbacher PM sent to me from Blevy

You are the sites most prolific poster. either ID yourself and place some of your history to justify this on introduce yourself, or I will ban your IP permanently

All he did was put the link to this site up showing he was taking things out of context.

Zero negative comments on his You Tube videos due to censoring the comments (keeping the negative out)

You should feel comfortable on a forum, and not have to worry about any administration harping on you for identification (papers please  )

I'm still waiting for Mikej to join up? his account was deleted on Bobby's site from what I was told? where is he? oh ya, it was Bobby himself 

A couple mods and the spammers are controllable, having approved membership increases it dramatically. stating the forum is closed due to controlling spammers is an out right lie. about one out of 100 get through, and they are easy to spot. I get names like frhty54, and greypicfu34x. the bots can't spell, there emails are worse than the usernames 

This one came in the other day....pletcherhjo

I bet 50 spammers a day try to join this forum..one is registering at this moment from Russia. they can't get past the mods I have in place, so after about 15 minutes the bot leaves. the approval stage stops them dead in there tracks because I see the username and automatically delete the account.

I do look in at his site, but have fought the urge to join. The only reason that I ever thought about joining was so that I could point out all of the BS in the Kenny story (again). But, dialogue is what has kept that story alive for far too long. Now, without any dialogue, it is dying a slow painful death and I'm damn sure not going to be the one to help bring it back to life. Rest in peace, Kenny.

When I first saw the post on Blevins site the other day about him helping to get the Ariel store up and running again, I thought it was a noble gesture and a cool thing to do. I don't have any ill feelings for Blevins, and if he does something cool I'm an honest enough person to recognize it. I even thought that I may even pony up a hundred bucks for the cause. But then I read this email that Bruce got from the son who now owns the place, and I'm really puzzled. Why, if you're trying to raise funds to get this store back up and running, would you alienate the small - very small - group of people who actually give a shit about the DB Cooper case??? Why turn down an interview for The Mountain News?? If one person reads that interview, and donates money of any amount, then the interview was well worth it. I just don't get it. I also don't get why Bruce is a bad guy for not staying in touch since the death of his mother. This guy has obviously been influenced heavily by Blevins, who is still butt hurt over not being allowed to be on this forum. Bottom line, I'll just donate my hundred bucks to the Trump campaign, or stock my fridge with a few cases of Miller Lite.

Well that should be some kind of proof that the forum is read, people know about it, etc etc. That has to be some satisfaction. Personal bitches and clashing is down to a real (nonexistent!) minimum here now. Even Georger is letting people have space!    I will now even shut up about RMB! 

I do wish Bryan Woodruff luck with his plans, whatever they are. Cooperland needs a place to gather, a place it can call it's own. I hope he succeeds in keeping the place open and viable $$. Maybe his poetry will bring it all home. A real writer needs a home!

Thanks Shutter..

Also,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VICKI!!!!!

If Woodruff and Blevins go separate ways and a legitimate account is set up for resurrection of the Ariel Store then I would contribute.  May be patient and see what develops. I have a feeling a lot of people would support Woodruff, but not the other guy ?

[Parrotheadvol]

Agreed.

I haven't lost sight of the real cause, but the emails were the nail in the coffin. I hope it turns out not to be Bryan sending those emails, and something is done about it. if they are legit, then sadly I won't be doing anything about the current status of the Tavern.

He locked out a media source linked to DB Cooper. It's not my fault for the reasons Robert is not here. he did that all by himself. he wants to blame me for it, but the bottom line is I won't get involved in anything tied to him. he got all bent out of shape when Bruce posted his email, but it's perfectly fine for him to post phone numbers of people, really?

This is a real situation, a worthy cause, and not some internet bashing. he brought it out into the real world by banning Cooper media sources,banning people from Cooper establishments, and censoring his site? Bruce didn't post the email for spite, or to cause trouble unlike the actions of Robert. sadly, Bryan is in the middle...

[Parrotheadvol]

What Bryan needs to realize is that if he opens back up, and makes Blevins an integral part of the Cooper days, then Cooper days is history.

A lot of people seem to gather there for the festival, if they start hearing the things he's doing it might do considerable damage.

Well that should be some kind of proof that the forum is read,

The forum is read on a daily basis by more people than just us. several producers have contacted this forum, web based media has been here. Atlas Production set up camp here. they could care less about the drama. they want FACTS.

It's hard to say how many outside of Dropzone really viewed the site. they have a lot of members, plus the counter doubles the views each time you refresh, so it's hard to say how many people really viewed each page.

It's too bad that this forum wasn't in existence when Carr was involved. I'm sure he would have loved being on a forum without all of the BS. Might have even accomplished something!

I sent him an invitation, he viewed it, but never responded. he knows we are here....

How about 70 bucks to The Donald, and 30 to BAS and I'll mail you an autographed copy of the book about the Not Michael Cooper Skyjacking (along with an address...).

And Happy Birthday to EVicki, too! (And thank you to Facebook for reminding us.)

That is possible, but Bruce has also tried calling Bryan and he's not responding.  Robert can't control Bryan's phone contact, too.  At this point, if I'm Bruce, I'd leave a message saying he's about to post an article on MountainNews about the fund raiser and how some of the Cooper fans are being alienated -- and he'd like to give Bryan a chance to respond before he publishes it.  And, he'd like to do it by phone.  If Bryan didn't write those emails, he might call back with "why would Cooper fans be alienated by this?".  If he doesn't call back, he must not care what Bruce writes.
