Tommi is on Twitter we occasionally tango as friends..Yes there was a Lady Ava and why you got tagged little lady..good reason to change handle.no different than changing socks.best sock changer we had on UCB was lev.. you should have seen him on wikipedia..was eventually booted as sockpuppet and meatpuppet ..thats why everything on wikipedia should be taken with grain of salt.
In the beginning at UFO Casebook there were interesting times.
I love this thread, EmbassyKat! And note from your memories of 'beginning' I came into the UFO Casebook main site and forums a little later, I believe throughout as the forever purring one really enthusiastic about B J's humongous compilation of cases (without realizing then how hard he & friends worked to create!) and feeling increasingly at home in our forum community. I remember Lev as a great and terrible dragon ruling the cybersky and being relatively new to the internet at first I didn't know what to make of him or his Collective. I had several friendly and interesting exchanges with his character, while noticing how flaming storms invariably raged around him, my neighborly self and outraged to apoplectic flamers alike drawn into his elaborate traps: this was a Great Game he was the virtual master of. I heard of some members who 'hated' him, and always thought that was flawed strategy. Similarly to the real world you simply have got to 'look' at people until you get a sense, not allowing oneself to be trapped into enemy-think. Sense: over time (many years) I began to think that the extraordinary gentleman (or league of gentlemen) generating the Lev character expressed two basic personae, a disturbed and anguished one and a brilliant ruthless ('psychopathic') other. L E V I A T H A N's ruthless act got him the enemies of course, folks who reacted 100% allergic (actually ceding control to him without realizing!) to his mere presence. The sum of his antics did drive debate participants and mods crazy... I remember him always.. always popping back in after getting banned (done mostly for good reason). Now allowing myself to sink back into my memories of endless lev drama (including some wonderful and insightful exchanges too!) I can only conclude with feeling deep emphathy. What an act! We've all been had ! Maybe nobody insulted me better... But I do not ever sympathize, I believe that would be an insult not befitting one who so masterfully posted T H E M S E L V E S into UNKNOWN category. Lev wherever you are out there, God Bless... So, EmbassyKat, I think you will agree with me those early times on our beloved site were in many ways interesting times. The members as I experienced this 'first contact' were awesome (still are by the way) and by now I suspect that this was caused by many of us entering a little better resourced than we were prepared to admit. Maybe I just imagine it all. purr

Wonderful Post Purr..I remember your work from Before UCB..marvelous art..so glad you could port it over..I remember Wu there too..
Yes..There wasn't a thread Lev couldn't pump up ..in fact..that was one of his rallying calls.at another site..Let's pump up this thread! and of course..Reality check time yell..This is a freak show! He loved himself that Golden Dawn..at least the US chapter..the UK branch..not that much..I always thought it peculiar how many French and UK folx were into that caret thing..anywho.. I only got my feet wet with Titor and The Rutledge Moon hoaxes..all internet born..channeled thru c2c ..and the curious connection of the former..to Universities doing cyber studies..and group behaviour analyses..ubiquitous computing and pre cloud conversations.. at that time..This included George Mason.and georgia tech..where our own Mr. Gort hails from.
That said..It's good to know Lev found his niche in art and doing well.
yes..He will be missed..along with his salty and caustic insults.and who can forget...Mothman and Cthulu..ya know ? If he was carrying a bride across a threshhold arc or door..and he got a call about Mothman..he'd drop her straight on the floor with a big thud and tend to it....you'd best believe.
I may just start a thread dedicated to his art..So many pix..so little time left.. Jesus Loves You Lev!

Why Memories are important to me..they give context in an age of soundbytes and visuals are thrown at as a rate which I have no doubt hurt more than hinder human development. There was a time things were more sedentary..there books..and magazines..8tracks and VHS that you could put in your hands..even have friends to share the moment..now..we are alone..like a single traveler in space..making his way across the cosmos..just reviewing whats been sent to him..not understanding what a relationship is..albeit perhaps craving one..would be as competent as a 3 year old learning a tricycle..with a human..while expected to hit it off with an alien...guaranteed failure..
I decided to travel a tad as i had before to the beginning..and this time bring UFO Casbooks pages..from 2001 to 2005..It started off as BJbooth.Topcities.com where a good chunk of earlier material from the late 90s was disappeared..
was lost due to a turkish hacker, which after tracing led me to believe it was fake hacker and our own intel agencies responsible....where the domain head went to work for yahoo or one of those dot me spaces..I left it at that..but that should give you some idea why I don't like them in human spaces like this. That said.. One cannot but admire BJs tenacity and the early followers and their/ his love for creation was almost palpable. Two more moves followed with the last two the same sponsors we are with now. Each time he built a huge reservoir of posts from his followers it was suddenly subjected not to malware injections like Topcities was..but a series of attacks that would serve to earn the ire of members....cause confusion..as effectively as any Psyop would..the result is akin to the myth of Sisiphus condemned rolling up the rock to the top of the hill..only to come to see it come back down..
that said..do back up occasionally your posts and images.. don't put me in the terrible position of saying..I told you so..
~Sys Hi Manny xo I came to see what is happening on CB only to find it is no longer...! Bit of a shock. I haven't been to CB in a couple of years....although BJ is on my FB friends list.... I was one of the first 200 to join the original UFOCB under a different username.... I think the first person to join was Merlin. I see from the screen shots of the original posts there are many I remember. I see names I am familiar with on this new site (Bonehead, Swamprat, Purr) and some like yourself I think the world of..... but you already know that you wascally wabbit.... After being a mod for a couple of years and the constant abuse, I just could not deal with it anymore.... and left, as you know. There were so many I did not want to deal with, however, it was my job to deal with them. I would ban them and they would come back under a new user name and abuse and threaten me. I hope you don't mind that I pop in from time to time to read and maybe post.... Take care Pen

It's even worse in deer season..The males antlers have torn folx to shreds..! I am so sorry about your kitty..one of mine died after sudden illness on thanksgiving..her name was peanut..I haven't recovered fully yet..Neither have the rest of the kats..while she was alive I kept praying. After she passed her image can in my mind and said I really dont want to go back in that body...that eased me somewhat. Tell LG hi..last we talked..some folx from the gubbamint was following him and parking white vans across his house. His fax machine was acting all kind a crazy. He sent me a picture..and next day my fax started acting strange. Whats interesting is that cable isnt anywhere his area..
strange..then I never heard from again.

Yes, also sad to hear that.
I know the desolate look of someone coming out of the vets with an empty pet transporter.
Seen it in the mirror too many times.

Hi Manny, being on UFOCB was dangerous..... I had my big computer destroyed including the external drive, by someone who sent a virus to my computer... that was a few years ago, its another reason I wanted to leave CB. There were some nasty people visiting... and to this day I believe it came from a CB member although I have no idea who. I gave your regards to LoneGunMan.... We have had the worst day today.... our gorgeous King Charles Cavalier spaniel (Odie) died. We have lost two fur babies in 3 days. We are in shock.... We could not wake him for his treat.... he usually sleeps really heavy and we have to nudge him awake, but today we couldn't.
