I still have some pm's from him, but when you look at his profile there's written that he had posted only two posts, which is definitely wrong..
he also mailed me that he can't check in this site anymore (the whole forum not only this site), but after I had some problems myself which i thought were because the forum were overloaded (I got only a blank page and "Could not connect the database", after trying some times it went all okay again).

Don't know what's wrong... Shocked Question

weird thing.. Confused

no, he's still in germany and goes to schoo, like every normal guy his age Wink It's a problem (accidentally or not, who knows) of this forum, not his.

He is fine! I don't know what is wrong with this forum, but I know that Mr.Admiral has been busy with his homework and exams, plus, he has a fun party next month.

I still wanna reveal some secrets of Admiral here Wink

1). he is a popular guy, and many girls hit on him.
2). he often practice Chinese GongFu at his off hours. that makes him very strong, and I have his pic, he looks like an athlete.
3). although many girls hit on him, but he dosen't wanna hurt anyone, so he didn't pick anyone yet Wink
4) although he has lived in Germany for a while, but he still thinks in a Chinese way.

there's one point you're wrong, he has no exams and not much homework at the moment. not that much that he couldn't find time to check in this forum sometimes, at least. he said to me that he can't log in anymore and he doesn't know what's wrong, he believes he'd been dismissed, which I doubt.. Why should a moderator who doesn't care about any posts which are made here, react on Mr.Admirals postings and dismiss him? where's the logic in this?

and he still lives in germany, but he has a chinese way of thinking Wink he goes to china every holiday he can manage.

He can't log into this forum anymore, that's true, but he also has a lot of homework and he has to prepare for his exams (English exam and Physics exam).

We talked on MSN just now. I knew these from Admiral.

I still can't understand why a nice boy should be banned. I have read many msgs he wrote, I didn't find what was wrong with his postings. Although he is just a teenager, but he is always mature and reasonable. when he talks to me, he is always polite and sweet.

He will be sorely missed.

PS: speaking of one point like many girls hit on him and he didn't pick anyone yet was just my guess Wink because I guess, if a boy is so handsome and sophisticated and athletic, then girls would be crazy about him.

Then what is wrong with this forum?Do we have something that not allow to talk about here?

Asterix,you are right again,in fact we were thinking of the possibility to create a brand new katarina with a small fan on the other side of the ocean Idea

I don't think Admiral has been banned. I've been on here for a couple of years, and the only thing that happens is that they sometimes delete a message, or stop a thread from going any further.
I haven't seen anything of Admiral's that is offensive.
In any case he can pick a new handle and log in to the forum.
Perhaps he has a new video game.

I hope so!! If he was banned, then this forum would be very crazy! I don't know what is the point that a nice boy was banned.

I hope he will came back soon after he finishes his exams and party. I miss him so much. and I hope he has a great time with his fun party.

Really? Did China finally surpass Canada?

I can't imagine why Admiral would be banned either (especially compared with some of the other nasty stuff that gets bantered about here). Maybe his loss of password was just some system glitch. Some software was upgraded, backed up, whatever, and a couple of electrons got scattered on the wrong part of Dave's server. Mad Admiral may not be the only one who lost his password by accident (just the most notable since he was a frequent poster).

When he's got the time, he just needs to re-register. Troublesome machines, eh? Rolling Eyes

I read in Globe and Mail (Toronto paper) that China is America's biggest trading partner.
Still Canada has more of the good stuff like softwood lumber that you can put a countervailing duty on, so that Americans will have to pay more for it. (Go figure how that helps Americans) or even OIL!!

I know from a friend, that Canadian stuff is very expensive.

To "no more hurricanes" I say "I agree",though I really don't know if the earth agrees with me.

Does "China is now America's biggest trading partner" mean taiwan is becoming no more or less in considering of the Sino-US relationship,and that is the sticking point like some dark clouds floating in the blue sky.off topic? Embarassed

Ok,back to the forum's technical hitch,seems most people think so,will someone of us disappear someday,hell,how could we get back then Confused
