Lots of nice **** there, I especially like the first car sketch and that badass submersible.

Those car sketches are pretty immense, especially the side view of that silver one with huge rims.

But... I've seen that exact desk before (and I think it was on this forum), so I'm not convinced its yours entirely, but forgive me if I am wrong.

The pics you saw were his, he's taken a little sabbatical from here for a while.

Coming from a master carpenter I think he did an excellent job on that desk too. I encourage more people to build their own desks instead of buying overpriced IKEA garbage.

Oh right cool, yeah I do think that desk is pretty damn cool, I think that picture made me try and make one when I first saw it, but it didn't even get past the planning stages ;p.

Wow, already banned.

I guess people still don't want Rob around here.

Personally I don't see the big f**kin deal. He posted a nice topic about his designs and such and even bumped his own thread with new info about his sub.

I guess forgive and forget ain't a part of this forum...

Yeah. I'd love to know who reported him.

He seems to be doing well though. Dude's got talent. That submersible project seems cool.

Yeah, he just recently IM'ed me and showed me all the same jazz you are seeing here.

Definitely got some talent and I think his style adds to the community. He's said some stupid sh!t in the past but he hasn't posted here in over a year at this point.

I would hope RR didn't report him... I hope noone reported him because that's a little 3rd grader thing to do.

If anything I hope a mod did it for obvious reasons by his own accord.

Thanks.

I'm all for letting him come back as long as he plays by the rules. Perma-banns are lamer than [INSERT NAME OF LAME THING HERE].

He's been constantly perma-banned for the last five-six years, no? You got to give him credit for persistence.


Oh, and awesome portfolio there Rob. Lots of stuff to be proud of!

He's come a long way since his prototype:

So really the ban is for his benefit. He should thank MacNN.

We've given him chance after chance after chance, and every time he takes a few days to lose his cool and get completely out of control. With coaching, with reminders, with all the help we can give and more, he still gets out of control. He's used up his chances, the good will he could have had from the staff, and the patience and tolerance we might possibly have mustered. I LIKE Rob-when he's not being a jerk. But he's not compatible with "playing nice with others" for very long.

I agree with you in principle that having anyone really need to be permabaned is lame, but we don't do that lightly.

Ghporter: Fiction can be fun, but unfortunately everything you've just said has been mostly complete bullshit. For the past while, I haven't really broken any rules, but assholes like Railroader report me for anything they can possibly think of, and then I was given a ban for 2 weeks. Then I was fine for a while, and again someone found something obscure and stupid to report me for, and I was banned for 1 month. At that point I said **** it, and came back under a different name, at which point you people decided to ban me as soon as you saw me. That's fine, I really don't care, this place has gone way downhill. You allow complete pricks like Railroader, and yet you ban Kevin. Good job.

Anyway. Quit making **** up. Even other mods have pointed out that I was being reported for incredibly stupid pointless things. I was banned because of jerks who hate me, and feel the need to report any of my posts for anything they can possibly think of.

To everyone else, thanks for the compliments. I'm 90% sure I have an amazing internship this summer, I'll come back when I find out!

Rob, (am I allowed to call you Rob? I mean you did post your full name again on those images), I have not reported you in years. You have some people who really hate you here, but not me. I actually lobby for your ban to be lifted. You're welcome.

Alas, you prove to us why your ban should not be lifted at this time.
