ROBERT: That's your opinion. Sorry I can't 'buckle up and comply' to your standards. Your failure to support anything Cooper-related simply on personal issues

Maybe I should just tell this producer that because of the endless in-fighting, lack of mutual support, and almost no cooperation within Cooperland.


No, I'm not going to support anyone who backbites on every post made for researching the DB Cooper case. that's all you do. I have nothing to do with the comments on another forum. it's not up to me to apply any rules. my job is here on this forum.

You tell the producers what ever you wish Robert. keep in mind that's exactly what stops forwarding of the case. you are now making it personal. more hypocrisy. everyone else gets along basically fine. it's only you that throws a wrench into things.If I am asked about you, I will respond, period. you keep posting  "cooperland fails" with the little toolbox all the time. you removed it the other day. it's only you people don't get along with. get that straight.

Nobody hates you either, Robert. it's your personality that is the problem. you play dirty tricks you claim others do. you have personally attacked me with politics several times. you have spoken ill of a friend who died recently while you posted. you "warn them about us" to producers, television, radio, podcast etc. who ever you can reach. then claim we do it? why the fuck do I need to get involved with you. a camping event? now, you want to play hostage with things to try and bribe people or shame them, really? I don't have time for all your DRAMA and I'm not going to go back and forth here or on your new thread on the DZ.

You think it goes nowhere. then why do you post night after night with the same nonsense year after year. move on already? we have..nobody speaks about you here until you constantly post a bunch of crap causing a reply.

I'm done dealing with you..
Well said. (Though every time you address him, I think for a moment it's Robert99 and am confused, lol.) FTR, when I started my research it was on DZ, but I couldn't follow the threads because of the constant long interjections from Himself and Herself. Researching online was also often interrupted by links to what turned out to be just another promo for a suspect I never could, quite objectively, get behind as Cooper. There's debate, and then there's just toxicity. Who needs the latter?

Most of the time I make it pretty obvious by starting out with "Mr. Blevins". sometimes I just write Robert. hopefully R99 also see's who I am referring too. they are hardly similar. The DZ appears to be in critical condition. it's basically RMB posting full pages about not updating anything followed by updating lol. nobody comments other than Flyjack posting things he's researching or someone asking Fly a question. a lot of people have put Blevins on ignore. you do that and you will see pages of Flyjack's posts. it's basically just the two posters. he will more than likely label your comment and this one as "negative and hateful"

My concerns lately have been work. Covid has drastically encroached into my industry (new commercial). I don't have the work I've always had in the past. that means people I employee can't put food on the table. this bothers me to no end. I'm not sleeping well thinking about this all the time. my phone rings (any work this week). you really think I give a shit about some camping trip?

You bid on jobs sometimes a year in advance. lots of contractors decided to hold off several months on new buildings coming out of the ground. that puts a void into my work with the stall. it took months to show up but it's here now, today. things are not good for a lot of people right now. some live in a bubble and are clueless. I got word yesterday someone testing positive. his boss got got the virus and gave it to him. another woman contacted me a month ago wanting an estimate and then called back saying she might of been exposed at work has had to be tested. she came back negative but I haven't went to her house. these are the real issues of today. I've been wearing a mask everyday since March of 2019. wash my hands frequently, two, three showers a day. changes of clothing etc. and you can still get it. We haven't heard from Parrot. I hope everything is ok with him...we can only hope to get back to normal by the end of the year.

Sounds like a real grind, Shut. You have my sympathies.

Yes, I hope Parrot is okay.

We are having some issues with the server at the moment. currently, nobody can edit anything until the issue is resolved. some might of noticed in the URL box "not secure" shows up before the address. this is due to HTTPS vs HTTP listing. the server corrected the address to HTTPS but now appears to have disrupted the "autofill" causing a bug in the edit control.

They are working on it as we speak and hopefully will be resolved soon..

Ok, the edit feature has been resolved..now, I have to figure out the Thank You feature..does anyone know how long this has been down?

So far, it appears the Thank you function is not working on this thread. other threads seem to work..strange.

The thank you feature has been down off and on for several months.

The mod was created in 2006 and last updated in 2009 and probably a good reason it's acting up. I don't see any other mods that could replace it at the moment..it does show it being compatible with this forum and version. (2.0.11)

I will dig deeper into reasons some mods start acting up..

The creator has made 17 modes for SMF (Simple Forum Machine) several of his mods are installed here.

Now I see the Thank You function works on this thread now. I don't think anything can be done without the creator responding and updating the mod. third party themes, like this one will also cause disruption with mods. (modifications)

They have hundreds of themes you can use with SMF forums. some are independently made and are placed on the SMF theme page. the theme can function flawlessly while the mods can sometimes conflict. I have over a dozen different mods on this forum and most work properly while some act up. some of the smileys are third party, the YouTube function is a mod so the video can play vs just a link. the forum can run for months without any issues and sometimes problems occur you don't see and are caught in time unless I do something like gets us all locked out for several days like I did a couple years ago. lol. all part of the fun.

Next month will mark 7 years of service (February 24, 2014) and several million views. I can thank nobody but the members who have supported the forum for the last seven years. Just as anything else, it's had it's ups and downs. we started out on a free membership as a trail run for about 6 months, I believe. it filled to capacity and gave the green light to upgrade. hopefully, we have many more years in the future, unless Cooper actually pops up out of nowhere  :rofl:

Does anyone still see the Christmas theme. usually, when I change themes it does it for everyone. the same should work when I remove a theme. don't know why it's doing this....

Great article By Andrea Marks January 12, 2021 with Tina Mucklow in the Rolling Stone - with Tina's full cooperation/permission!

Article describes the hijacking and the Cook-Smith invasion of her privacy. As well as debunking the Bruce Smith etal. amateur psychoanalysis of Tina Mucklow which many people think is vindictive.

Tina comes across as a perfectly sane strong willed woman with purpose, who after the hijacking cooperated with the FBI and authorized investigators for years, while pursuing her own personal life mission(s). Read the article with new photos at:

I'm finally feeling somewhat better. The fever and headaches wanted to hang around for a while, but have finally went away. Today I can finally come out of quarantine. Two weeks of living in my basement got to be pretty damn boring. I have zero energy and that will probably take a few days to get it back, but other than that, I'm past the virus. Don't care to admit though, it whipped my ass.

I will continue to wear the mask and encourage everyone else to do the same. I have a few friends that absolutely refuse to, and I just don't get it.
