Opinion of Gabu

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

A prolific former poster, one who I see in basically every pre-2008 thread, who disappeared suddenly in March 2008. Thoughts?

[MasterJedi]

FF, maybe we can finally trade BRTD for him back?

Terrible poster. Basically the prototypical Moderate Hero and bland and inoffensive red avatar who everyone ends up loving for those reasons.

No, we loved him because he owned you in literally every disagreement the two of you had, and he didn't use a lubricant in the process.

No wonder BRTD is still bitter about him.

Kal consider the source. A dumb who believes Link was Einzige.

An avid anti-True Leftist crusader.

I invite any non-dumbs who were around when Gabu was (except you, red) to dispute what I said.  Stay tuned for none.

Good guy. He's basically become the forum's equivalent of Syd Barrett.

Grumps is right.. and I miss Gabu

[Simfan34]

He was here not too long ago, posting about model trains.

[WalterMitty]

a great guy.  ff.

[Smid]

FF.

He regrettably departed not long after I joined. If I were more filled with self-importance, I'd draw a conclusion there, but I can't imagine anyone quitting over a matter of such little significance.

[Mr. Morden]

Is there any other example of a longtime prolific poster making an "I'm quitting" post, and then actually following through with it and never coming back?

[ilikeverin]

FF.  Wonderful wonderful poster.  I miss him terribly

Dazzleman? Although I think he browsed a few times. We've had some good folks pass through this hallowed halls over the years, David and Gabu among them.

Is it weird if I think I saw him at the grocery store the other day?

Clearly you're his sock.  BAN!

Well, BRTD I had no takers.  Just long timers who feel like I do. I guess we're all dumbs.

[Ban my account ffs!]

I remember when both Gabu and BRTD were around.  I remember BRTD being ridiculously obsessed with suburbs at the time... posting pictures of nice looking suburbs next to pictures of burned out Camden and proclaiming that he would choose Camden.

Gabu just didn't entertain that kind of tomfoolery.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Gabu was pretty much the best poster we've had during my time here.  Joe Republic, BaconKing, MattVT, and Al are definitely up there, but Gabu was the best of the best.  RIP

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Arguably the best poster the forum has had.

You say that now, because he was cancelled early in his posting career, sort of like Firefly.  But if that show had lasted for 7 seasons, the quality inevitably would have waned, and there'd be some filler posts that no one likes, etc.  He burned brightly while he was here, but it's because that star was extinguished in its youth that you regard it as the best.

It's the same reason why Barack Obama had to run for president in 2008.  The later seasons of Obama's Senate career wouldn't have been able to maintain the same quality, and he wouldn't then have been able to make the same transition to a feature film.

It's also sort of like this post.  I should have stopped after the first paragraph.  Then people would hold up this post as being rather funny, and it would probably make it into the Goldmine.  But then I got greedy, and renewed it for two more paragraphs, and now it's just awful.

I also enjoyed Firefly very much.  Heck of a show.
