New Forum & News Updates

[Robert99]

All this BANNING, sure wish it were different. Supposedly some folks are now banned from the Ariel Store.

I wish all DBC forums were open to all people. If some users get out of hand they could be temporarily restricted to a special corner, but still be able to participate without ruining the more civilized threads.

I'd like to see Blevins and Jo have access to this forum, although I know my view is not shared by others.

As far as i know I am not banned from anywhere in Cooperland.... yet.

That might mean I don't matter much in the Vortex. Not visible or influential enough to justify a ban.

Can anybody figure out why Bradley coopers book is listed at such extraordinarily high prices on Amazon?

Probably because there are only 10 copies in existence and scalpers are hoping to find a sucker or two along the way.

Interesting....I have a suspicion.  All of these seem to be used book stores -- not private parties.  Many of them put their entire inventory on Amazon.  They don't go and price everything themselves, there are "robots" that can do it for them.   If a book is not available at all, the first book will do it at a very high price.  Then, the ones that follow it will match or slightly undercut the price.  Nobody ever looks at it to get a sanity check.

(There was an article in a paper recently about a couple that owned a used book store and talked about how they loaded all of their inventory to Amazon, and had a program to constantly check to verify they were one penny less than the lowest priced copy.  This ran multiple times through out the day).

Dropzone.com tells the story about those you wish to have on this forum. it didn't work, nor will it work. if this forum is no big deal to them, then why is it constantly brought up?

Jo is tolerable most of the time, but Robert has been bashing this forum from the very first day. he fails to tell his little group what he has done over the years. he puts everyone down, laughs at possible theories, endless promotions, phoney gunshot stories, and motorcycles pieces all over the road, inland rogue waves. islands help protect the shorelines by the way!

Between the both of them they are responsible for what happened on Dropzone. I seen it coming and decided to do something about it. Robert has been leaving the Cooper saga almost from day one when you read back on the DZ thread. Now, he wishes to bash the people here in the real world. you expect me to allow him in here, really?

I'm now hearing two different stories about the build now?

Half.com, an eBay Company, is a book seller operation.  I am trying to pare down my personal engineering and science library and have a number of books listed on Half.com.

But book reseller companies seem to be in the majority there and I have sold a number of books to these resellers.  My guess is that an individual asked the reseller to find a specific book for them rather than do an online search of their own.

The listed price of a given book, in the same condition, can vary from 2 cents to $200.00.  There is no rational explanation for the pricing.

A few FACTS might be in order, if anyone is concerned with facts! However facts has nothing to do with this debate, which is also a fact.

Fact-1: Mr. Blevins has his own forum, at Adventire Books. He has had his own forum all along. He tried to get people to go there and leave Dropzone but almost nobody went. Blevins had the fleeting idea that his forum would replace Dropzone! When that did not happen Blevins only intensified his disruption of Dropzone and invented the term" "Cooper Royalty" launching endless personal attacks.

Fact-2: People asked Blevins if he would let Jo Weber on his Adventure Books forum. Blevins said "No!".

Fact-3: When Dropzone was closed due to Blevins and Weber, Blevins again told people to go to his Adventist Books forum, but nobody went. Blevins still refused to allow Jo Weber to join his  Adventist Books forum!

Fact-4: Blevins took he beef with "Cooper Royalty" to Newsvine and elsewhere.

Fact-5: Failing at everything else, Blevins opened a forum at Google. Nobody would join. Blevins used that forum to launch personal attacks against "Cooper Royality" by name. In short order Google closed Blevins forum down on Google! Blevins blamed technical issues at Google, said he didn't want to talk about it, and at length he opened his latest form at Pro Boards where is to this day, alone. His forum at Adventist Books still there but unused!

Fact-6: Blevins has never lifted his ban against Jo Weber and a long list of others, on any of HIS forums!

"What's good for the goose is good for the gander" to quote the Venom Magnet, Blevins.

And there are only one or two people on the planet who still want to discuss this and rearrange the chairs on the deck of this sunken ship! GIVE IT A REST!   This whole pathetic issue ceased to have any real traction clear back at the end of 2010 - it now 2016!

And Blevins' Adventist Books Forum is still open to any and all who want to join Blevins there! All except for Jo Weber and tens of named Cooper Royalty, Blevins has prebanned.

Go shop at the Rev. Blevins Mall of your choice!

"Wage earner sheeple" wanna know!

As you stated previously, the whole thing is silly. here we have a good cause trying to get off the ground, and yet, the leader is spewing hatred everywhere? all because he was banned several years ago for his behavior and can't let things go. has he opened his site yet?

The bottom line was. several of us took him up on his offer to "check for yourself" on the KC saga. once things were found, the tables turned. took him months to take down the misleading, and incorrect information regarding the powerful evidence with Kenny. not to mention all the disruption he caused on Dropzone.com. now, the FBI has two separate files on Kenny, and nothing happened. yes, they did read it. they have to look at anything given to them, so he can't use that excuse. he tries to make it fit, but once you really look into the story it just doesn't pan out with him having anything to do with this crime.

I remember very clearly when RMB appeared on DZ in 2010 and almost immediately started criticising people's work and talking about "people being banned"? I kept reading his stuff, he then criticised Sluggo and all but suggested to Sluggo he should leave Dropzone (and work on/improve his website) - and I asked myself: "who is this guy?" It was clear from the start there was a problem ......... and here we are today ........ in 2016?

If people like Mr. Blevins they should go to his forum at Adventure Books.  It's been there all along, ready to serve humanity. In fact here it is, newly designed in the last two days, ready to serve, and open to any and all who want to communicate with Rev. Blevins, except for those prebanned.

Actually, he hasn't opened the site. most of it can't be seen by the general public due to his censoring the threads. you must join to see the rest of the forum, or website in his case (laughs) he would be making post after post if I did that. he censors a lot of things, most of the general information is blacked out, you can't see the amount of members, or who was online etc.

You are correct. Apparently no discussion thread up yet, or its hidden? However, his Ariel Store thread has 16 views. His suspect threads have 'hundreds' of views each? How is that possible? He just put the website up!    Oh well invent a few phony numbers - thats par for the Reverend Blevins! 

Fact remains: he has had a forum of one kind or another up and running since he first appeared at Dropzone in August of 2010 hoping to steer people to his own cause; and he would dearly love some of his admirers to finally join him for an in-depth discussion of the finer points in the DB Cooper case, and all that goes along with that in Blevinsworld.

To quote Prince from the movie: Godzilla Versus the Mohicans"

You can hide any thread you wish. some of his threads are old, and some are new. closing it the way he is doing it is a cheap way to get people to join. he whined for years about me not showing links and photo's, and as usual, he turns around and does the very samething he spoke of as wrong? he doesn't want to associate himself with Bruce, but keeps sending him emails? 

He didn't just put the site up, he changed the sites theme. like I do during holidays.

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

Silly, silly, silly. did I mention this was silly? 

I just found out Prince died. I didn't know. never liked him, but it's never good to die

The issue always was and remains: 'having a voice'. That really is the only issue. Dropzone offered that opportunity, in the abstract. Everyone to my reckoning has had ample time and space to 'say' whatever it was they had to say, be that on a suspect, debating points in the case, giving fruits of research ... whatever. Can anyone actually say that Blevins or Jo were ever denied 'having a voice'? No!

Jo and Blevins are still harping about the same things they were harping about years ago. Nothing has changed. Each had repeated opportunities to express themselves, and nothing changed and it got old. The same arguments and claims over and over again to absurdity. Nothing changed and everything for them remains the same to this day.

Their claims were evaluated and dismissed by many, in a very objective fashion.

We have been here a couple of years. Much new information has been revealed since this forum began. We have changed, new information has been given, new ideas have been expressed, old ideas and claims have been examined, etc. That is what a working forum is supposed to do.

We are open to any new information anyone wants to give. And we allow the hassle free space for that to occur without anyone being in jeopardy.

It speaks for itself, I think.

Yes, it was built to discuss the DB Cooper case. plain and simple. I totally agree with the skydivers that it no longer served it's purpose on the DZ. I never felt comfortable while being on that forum due to not being in the sport.

The discussion of the crew notes didn't go over as well as I thought they would, but never the less they were introduced on this forum only, and supplied by one of Bobby's members. I thought that was interesting in itself. this was before he started harping on Reichenbach. we exchanged a lot of PM's prior to turning over the documents. he was interested in the flight path. that's how our discussion began. I haven't heard from them since they gave me the documents?

What a total nightmare of a day this has been. the site, as you know has been down all day. My server usually takes care of the problems. after repeated complaints, we now have the site up and running.

Sorry about this guys...
