Any news one of our longest serving forum members, Uncle Wally - Moscow's finest drummer?
He has been unusually absent!
Hopefully he’s just on vacation.
If any of us older members kicked the bucket, it’s unlikely others would find out any time soon, unless a personal acquaintance or friend is also a member, and could report it in the forum.
lets just hope an old proverb is true - no news is good news-?
I'm sure he's fine! He was a little boastful at first about his newborn; probably forget how much work the little Rugrats are since (I assume) there's a big age difference between this one and his previous kid.
I've got a one-year-old right now so I can say from.personal experience that our favorite uncle is probably just dealing with the sleepless nights, fights with wives, work/life balance, 💩 diapers, and everything else that comes along with being the father of an infant!
Good luck, Wally! And thanks for doing your part to bring a few more white people into the USA and Russia's birth stats! :big-grin:
Despite Uncle Wally being unusually lost for words and silent, it is good to see that it appears he is still in the land of the living and has internet connection! :)
:laughing: Benedikt, I think Tolko just meant that Uncle Wally had gone and left thanks for a bunch of these posts, without writing anything in reply, though!
.... But you bring up a great point.... How do we really know that his account wasn't compromised, and one of his infinite "haters" or "distressed lovers" is actually leaving the thanks!? :confused:
Wally said he was hacked awhile back and can only leave thanks, can't post on the site.
Strange, not that he had been hacked, it can happen for anyone, but the last part "can only leave thanks, can't post on the site", I assume that these functions are controlled on the forum side? So he may had been hacked and then a lot of strange post had been posted from his PC and the forums system had banned him from posting, and deleted the strange post, some sort of automated process? Then it should be possibly to remove the ban (when Wally have cleaned his PC from what ever had infected it) and let Wally post again, if he wants to?
Yes it could be the case, why not?
That depend on the Admin's on the forum and how they had chosen to set up things.Quote:
If so, would we not see 'User Banned' message in the profile?
An other scenario could be that offensive posts made / PMs was sent by Wally and resulted in a ban, and as a punishment they have now only granted him access to say "Thanks", so he can learn the word "Thanks", make a point if you like. I just do not know, and find it very strange what is going on.
can one open a -new account - and letting admin know who you are and why you are doing it?
Aha! I think you've cracked the code!! Bravo, Hans!!
Wally, you should ONLY like this post if Hans' theory is correct: if you got kicked out of the sandbox for sending naughty PMs or making naughty posts, and can now only (at least) give thanks; a big concession you won from the admins :D
If we don't see Wally's thanks here, we'll have to keep trying! :))
One thing's for sure, probably RL and a few other people are happy about the ban! :D
I've sent a PM to the Admin about Wally's troubles.

saying that, RL also has not posted here for quite awhile...
............... or spending it, which is more fun! ;)
I have been sort of busy sorting out females. Wally being able only to leave his thanks under someone else's post makes him a perfect expatru participant.:) Wally, keep it up, old sport, click Thanks under this one too, show us your clicking prowess.:) That said, hope he hasn't been hit by a truck or beaten up to messy pulp by OMON by mistake during one of the recent massive anti-putin protests. Russia is not made for the guys like Wally, she never forgives tender feelings to herself.:)Quote:

I don't think so. He has to log in first. Or click the login button with the login details remembered by the system.Quote:

Apparently it can, strange
Anyway, I have a video of what happened to Wally. He seems to speak good Russian and has a beautiful wife who is a member of Putin's Yedinaya Rossiya party. All Wally wanted was to cross the street and then the hell broke loose. Take a look:

weird thing indeed. want to thank you for this reply, pressed the button - thanks - got nothing but a little -?-. Click on THAT, got to a box where it says - report a post-. Can one not say anything anymore that might annoy admin or just be the truth? maybe give the sire a rest for some time before something happens to -me - as well?

Post to Wally, his PM isn't working, just to let you know, Admin has been sent a PM, waiting on them to get back to us.
Wallyton, send an email to the Admin webmaster@expat.ru.
When you have done so you can write Santa too: https://www.emailsanta.com/email_santa.asp, you never know whom will make your wish come true first?
I just hope that our hero and font of all useless knowledge and frequently debunked conspiracies is alive and well :)
Someone else had a problem and was told to do what Wally had to do,they are back posting.
Lol. Poor Wally. It sounded like "methinks he's having trouble using the bathroom". :laughing:Quote:
