Members Lucky Posted July 28, 2018 Members Posted July 28, 2018 Our fellow poster Larstrup is reporting that he is under investigation for donations made to Daddy. He doesn't say who is doing the investigating nor why, but he reports as of the last few minutes that after donating by check and then a separate, cash donation, there is now "something alarming going on." An email inquiry he sent to the administration of the site was not followed up with a reply. Larstrup concludes his report saying: " I stressed about what this means not only to me, but to everyone who has done what I have done. " We await further developments and hope that Larstrup will clarify things by answering several questions: 1) Who is investigating you? 2) Why are they investigating you? 3) Have you been subpoenaed? 4) Can you flee the country? 5) Is this a joke? Because you didn't really retire! 6) Will you be addressing your followers here? 7) Will you be taking donations to your defense fund? 8) Should other donors be worried, or very worried?

Members Lucky Posted July 28, 2018 Author Members Posted July 28, 2018 Investigators following up on the shocking news reported above noted that if Larstrup had made any donation to Daddy, his user name would include a badge for the year of donation. There could be as many as three badges since there have been donation drives the last three years. Observers note that Lartstrup has no badges associated with his user name, indicating that he may not have donated. That would leave open the question of when and why he made a donation by check and another by cash. If true, what was the purpose of the donations? Since he states that the donations were made "years ago" they may not have earned any badges. Donations years ago were not unusual, but were not thought to be significant in terms of supporting Daddy. The operation has been fine tuned since. Quote
Members Lucky Posted July 28, 2018 Author Members Posted July 28, 2018 Deej Responds! An administrator using the name "deej" has responded to Larstrup! " This admin didn’t receive any message for what it’s worth." Left unsaid is who deej refers to when he says "this admin." Does he mean himself or does he mean "this administration?" Will deej be more forthcoming? Quote
Members Lucky Posted July 28, 2018 Author Members Posted July 28, 2018 Rally for Larstrup! Poster WilliamM says that Larstrup " deserves a bit of support here, not questions. There is only so much he can write." We are left to figure out "there is only so much he can write" by ourselves. Is Larstrup being restrained from writing more? Who is restraining him? Is he in danger? STAY TUNED! Latbear4blk 1 Quote
Members Lucky Posted July 28, 2018 Author Members Posted July 28, 2018 News on the topic has slowed to a crawl. Will MsAnn make a statement of support for Lars? Will Adam Smith be despondent to know his love is under investigation? Will it all turn out well? Apparently no immediate answers can be given. I have to go eat! Latbear4blk 1 Quote
Members Lucky Posted July 28, 2018 Author Members Posted July 28, 2018 Can you resolve these responses? Looking Around: " No sorry. He posts something provocative (outlandish). Yeh he deserves questions." Larstrup responds: "I’m under investigation because of donations I have previously made here how can you judge me for what I have done in the past? Ed. (Who said anything about judging past actions?") Quote
Members RockHardNYC Posted July 28, 2018 Members Posted July 28, 2018 I suspect the person to whom you're referring is drinking again. Rumor has it that deej is the new board owner, hence his "admin" response. They're keeping ownership very hushed up and I think they're calling it "de-linked." They don't want to lose members and/or whatever Hooboy legacy they have left. Once members find out that B has divested his interest in the forum, there's no telling what might happen. Quote
Members MsGuy Posted July 28, 2018 Members Posted July 28, 2018 Personally I suspect it's part of a DEEP STATE operation against Larstrup. God knows what horrible lies against POTUS a fragile closet case like him might be blackmailed into making. I've switched my TV to CNN to watch for breaking news. Lucky, like deej, you've clearly misread Larstrup's original post. In response to Deej's post he specifically denies his notification was sent to Daddy's admin. I believe Lars contacted the Administration in Washington and he's being frozen out by Trump's people just like they did to Michael Cohen. Poor Lars. The more I think about the more obvious it becomes. Lucky, AdamSmith and Latbear4blk 3 Quote
Members Lucky Posted July 28, 2018 Author Members Posted July 28, 2018 Benjamin Nicholas demands answers! FROM MESSAGE-FORUM.NET: "If you're going to attempt to fool with this site's ability to accept donations, at least have the balls to name what agency is investigating you. Clarity is needed: Not wishy-washy posts. You were put on involuntary vacation on the 'other' site for your behavior. I'd say you're working yourself into another well-deserved vacation here." Is Larstrup restricted here? I didn't know that, but then, I wouldn't. Quote

Good investigative reporting on your part. Still leaves a lot of loose ends though. So who gets the donations now? Daddy? Deej? Does The Donald have a hidden interest in the site? I like where this is going! AdamSmith 1 Quote

Members MsGuy Posted July 28, 2018 Members Posted July 28, 2018 Thanks for the post, Lucky. It's been a hoot so far. At first I suspected you were posting a sick joke at 'those folks' expense but, after checking it out, I've really enjoyed it. Even Ben N. has weighed in and more than once! The gift that keeps on giving. If I planned it for a month, I wouldn't of thought of having ole Ben jump in. Quote
Members Tartegogo Posted July 28, 2018 Members Posted July 28, 2018 Wtf is this thread about? Nothing that I can see on M4M posted today by Larstrup, deej or Benjamin N. Did id they already delete a thread as it was too damaging? TotallyOz and MsGuy 1 1 Quote
Members MsGuy Posted July 28, 2018 Members Posted July 28, 2018 Yep, Tartegogo the thread is lost and gone forever... Along with our dear friend Larstrup I would lay good odds. I am too stupid to find a current membership list over at that site to check his status but I cannot imagine Daddy would forgive and forget posting shit that threatened his finances even in the smallest degree. I sure as hell would not. Which raises the question of deej's admin authority &/or judgement. Does he have to get Daddy's OK to close down such obvious trolling? Is he too (fill in the blank) to realise the effect such a post might have on some of his more timid donors? If the latter, God help the poor fellow. Daddy can get grouchy at times. Did anyone think to make a screen shot of the thread? I'm too addled to think of doing something so obvious except in retrospect. Or know how to access the Way Back archive? Quote

It's Lucky taking creative license, a talent he's put on a shelf for a very long time. Too long. If you're not "in the know," this thread will be almost impossible to follow. I feel kind of sorry for the latecomers. 5 hours ago, MsGuy said: the thread is lost and gone forever... Yes, the thread at the other site has been deleted. The new de-linked "admin" deej is faster than a speeding bullet these days. Although, it did take him a long minute to figure out that he had been had. 5 hours ago, MsGuy said: I am too stupid to find a current membership list over at that site to check his status Don't waste your time. Whoever "admin" is, they no longer care to offer honest status info. Often, they don't want users to know or question their authority openly. You can't trust the status "words" that are currently listed, and that's the way they like it. 5 hours ago, MsGuy said: I cannot imagine Daddy would forgive and forget posting shit that threatened his finances even in the smallest degree. You never want to fuck with someone who is in dire straights, be it health or finances. The drinky-pooh poster that some call "friend" may have thought she was being creative, but her words caused so much confusion, and the confusion had the potential to make "admin" look seriously bad. She gets a tickle in her balls when she stirs the pot, but she also likes to play with fire. People who like to play with fire often get burned and extinguished. 5 hours ago, MsGuy said: Which raises the question of deej's admin authority &/or judgement. Does he have to get Daddy's OK to close down such obvious trolling? No, he does not need anyone's permission. He never did. He loves that power, poor thing. Probably the only power he has in his life. 5 hours ago, MsGuy said: Daddy can get grouchy at times. Daddy is nowhere near as bad as others. I don't think Daddy's grouchiness plays any role in the newly de-linked forum. The board has new players, and I predict they're going to remain quiet about the truth behind de-linking. Whatever deal was made in the de-linking, it most definitely will not be shared with the public. 5 hours ago, MsGuy said: Did anyone think to make a screen shot of the thread? Is anyone that dedicated to a board's bullshit troll activity? Screenshots are easy for me because I do them constantly for daily research. But when I don't have to... 9 hours ago, MsGuy said: that rumor would certainly account all the time Daddy says he is spending re-writing the site's code. Considering she's supposed to be a professional IT guy, she often seems very slow. Perhaps that HUGE gut wears her energy down. I hear that people who carry an extra 100 pounds in their belly area tire very quickly. Changes were necessary with the asshole Sessions at Justice's helm, but the ailing, broke drama queen has always liked to stir up sympathy, especially when folks started donating. Truth be told, the review site is more labor intensive than the forum. Daddy spends as little time on the forum as he can. And now, with the new de-link, I bet he spends no time. It's all in other hands now. 9 hours ago, MsGuy said: Good investigative reporting on your part. I'm no Ronan Farrow, but I know how to play one on TV. 9 hours ago, MsGuy said: Still leaves a lot of loose ends though. And those loose ends will remain and flourish. The new de-linked admin will be experts at keeping everyone guessing. Deej always loved his multiple usernames, created to maintain "control." 9 hours ago, MsGuy said: So who gets the donations now? The donations were always meant to support the work done on the review site. It's the review site that gets the most traffic and earned money from selling ad space. The forum was always click-bate for the review site. You can ask all the financial questions that tickle your fancy, but no one who knows the truth will tell you the truth. I suspect Daddy's IT services will continue on both sites and donations will go to him. That is, as long as he is able to do the work. If something were to happen to Daddy, it wouldn't surprise me if that news is kept silent. Keep the donations coming, cling to claiming the Hooboy legacy, keep the username Guy Fawkes "active," keep as many loyal members duped for as long as you can. It's a win-win for deej and co. Because, if anyone comes to find that deej is the new board owner, watch those loyal members leave in droves and watch the donations wither and die. And rightly so. Quote

Well, it's a bit more complicated than that. We old-timers (Lucky, Adam Smith, myself, etc.) know the back story. In some cases "original recipe" matters in marketing. Gay men are not immune to product allure and marketing strategies. Members who do not know the awful, dreadful, controlling personality of deej, the lies, deceit, and contempt of the man, will participate and contribute without thinking. But those of us who do know, will NEVER give one penny of our money or one minute of our precious time to contribute to his board. 15 minutes ago, tassojunior said: You mean Maryland1940 doesn't run the site?

Members Latbear4blk Posted July 28, 2018 Members Posted July 28, 2018 @RockHardNYC, why do you think that the old timers opinion matters at all? Many of those old timers are banned in the other site, and that has not made a scratch in the forum's success. As a matter of fact, many old timers and new timers contribute with donations even when they deeply dislike Daddy. I do not see why a change in the ownership would make any difference. If what you mean is that under Deej the policies and the culture will change, then we can discuss consequences, but I do not really see many out of a change in the names. By the way, it is not the first time that I read about the ugly past and the monstrous and mean personalities. I respect those opinions and I do not argue the facts, but after about 4 years of pretty strong participation, I have not suffered much, just one time out, from their mean spirits. All the moderators in the other site (and in this one) have been mostly supportive and very reasonable. Quote
Members tassojunior Posted July 28, 2018 Members Posted July 28, 2018 Deej snapped at me once....something like "put your dick back in your pants/no one cares". It was a friendly thread so I assumed that's him at his sweetest. And is Avalon law enforcement? He sounds just like a cop online pretending to be a 12 year old. Quote
Members Lucky Posted July 28, 2018 Author Members Posted July 28, 2018 The Larstrup thread has bit the dust. I sincerely hope he is okay today. Perhaps there was no investigation. We may never know. Every once in a while it can be fun to tweak the serious folks over there, and maybe that's all he was doing. Not everyone over there is so serious though. Avalon/Sam Hexum seems to be having lots of fun with their silly questions. As for Marylander, he isn't the first guy to live at a website. Anyway, Boytoy has been pleasant lately and I would like to keep it that way. Quote

You probably have not challenged their character or definition of fairness. 4 years = new, IMO. Moderation has changed dramatically on that forum in the past 10 years. You cannot get away with trolling now the way one did many years ago. Deej is the ultimate TROLL. He lies with four faces. He's admitted "on record" to using multiple usernames. He is not to be trusted. If members wish to support him, that's on them. I would NEVER. 2 hours ago, tassojunior said: Deej snapped at me once....something like "put your dick back in your pants/no one cares". She rarely treats anyone with respect.
