Hey old timers, how about @BobInFairfax…

[billanole]

from back in the day? I think that was his handle.
I recently listened to a segment about the foodie scene around DC and NoVa and it reminded me of Ole Bob who was constantly ragging both bad restaurant experiences and his worthless son-in-law …
Anybody heard from the ole boy lately?

 

[BrianNole777]

I think he left after people were mocking his daughter and never returned.

 

[F4Gary]

He's dead.

So I just put BobinFairfax on the search bar and holy cow what a send back.
Try it and read some of the response and their threads.
Here's one:

Ya pays the dues ya get the news. Not going to regurgitate 5 pages.

 

[BrianNole777]

He's dead.

Is he really?!

What happened?

 

[billanole]

That guy was such an off-putting character.

He ranted about poor restaurant experiences, “slack” work by his employees/sled dogs, and was generally a miserable sounding persona. Word on the street was he or his daughter’s man killed one or the other.

Lack of old timers posting in this thread is sad. They gone.

 

[F4Gary]

Jamie said he was dead. Don't think Derek did it.

How did Bob die?

 

[Banditking]

I thought it was an unsolved mystery relative to his exit.

Fsutribe76, or something to that effect, seems like a similar topic poster.

He posted on here in April 2023. Just moved on I think.

Yes. He moved to the Iowa board along with tradition and others.

 

[F4Gary]

Yes. He moved to the Iowa board along with tradition and others.

Tried that place out for a few months when all the freeloaders on here moved there. Bunch of weird actors over there.

Same. Off and on.

How I always imagined a BIF interaction with the police would go down.

Sorry, I don't subscribe either, so you won't get my "TL;DR Summary"

Call me crazy - you wouldn’t be the first - I think that board has some bots and foreign trolls trying to influence things in one direction or another.

Like all message boards that allow politics, it inevitably degrades into name calling and insults. And yet, I've gleaned enough information on there to justify wading through the mess.

 

[goldmom]

I do not think that anybody cares enough about an obscure messageboard with a few dozen users to task foreign agents with getting into fairly standard, mundane internet arguments. My brief foray to that board did, however, give me the sense that it had a more provincial and aggressively conformist culture than this one did back in its heyday.

It’s a group who are definitely in the minority in their state, but I have seen some interesting phrasing of sentences and phrases that make me believe it’s not out of the realm of possibilities.
Sprinkle seeds everywhere you see a spot and see if anything grows…

 

[BrianNole777]

I agree that it is not out of the realm of possibilities, but I would guess the likelihood of covert infiltration by foreign agents to be roughly the same as the likelihood that the majority of posts are generated by a large language model speaking to itself as a lark for the University of Iowa's CS grad students.

I think NatAlgren on the Iowa board was found to be posting from Russia.

He stopped posting when Russia invaded Ukraine. I could be wrong, though.

My college roommate is an I.T. expert and said Russian trolls are all over social media.
