Knockdown retiring!

JohnnyKnockdown said:

Thank you all for gathering here to make sure the door hits me in the ... on the way out.

Yes it is true, I am retiring. I was going to keep it under wraps till the under season, but our well respected, resident reporter and forum insider KropoStylie decided to out me. Hes good at outing. I wonder why he has so much insider knowledge



A lot of factors led to my decision. I am becoming increasingly unhappy with all the formula changes.

Every time Ben makes a site update I am utterly confused. I cant upload pics, cant change my sig,cant embed a video and cant find emoticons.

The restrictions are starting to strangle me.



The costs associated with being a user are increasing. Ordinary people can no longer post quickly, recieve status updates and follow topics without laying out $2.50 for a Tapatalk app. Unless you have this app you will never be able to keep up with the members that do.

ChopperMarquezman is able to post more then anyone else. I suspect he has hacked into his app and is cheating

Some members can never have any success under these changes.

Look at SS56 the 2nd and Barry Machuniet. No matter how hard they try their posts will always be ....



Back in 2008 I was appalled by the amount of members who doubted that I had chapped lips. Some called it a fake moisture control problem. Others were saying hurtfull things like I had Herpes.



Also in 08 I made a clean, concise and well prepared post. Jumkie quickly posted his agressive rebuttal,right after me completely destroying the trajectory of my arguement. I attempted to regain my composure and get back into the debate but the thread was already lost to me.

I was dismayed by the amount of members who agreed and defended Jumkies erronious position. This exchange made me very bitter

Last year I was greatly saddened by the loss of up and coming member Halfpint. She had a great talent of rambling. I have never seen the like.

While I was able to post worthless .... for a line or two, she could somehow post entire paragraphs of .....

Her loss made me realize that what I do here can have dire consequences. Every time I pop open the laptop cover, push the start button and post on Powerslide, I realize that I Bens ban button can be right around the corner. We members post for the love of it but what we must always realize that if we push too hard then we can lose everything



So after this season I will leave the GP forum and spend more time with my lovely wife. Because we all know, that we really want, is to spend every waking hour for the next 65 years holed up in the wilderness with our wives and spoiled ... little .... kid who has an Iphone 4 while I still have a Blackberry. She will be happy that I no longer will have to spend countless hours on the keyboard,ignoring her trying to prove some worthless point to a keyboard warrior half a world away.



And the last reason I am retiring is that religious douschebag Willski. He conned me into buying a Willski Bible and promised me that if I practiced Willskiism I would smash my way through life. He said to watch Cal Crutchlow this year because he was a recent convert.

So far I have seen no personal results.



Oh and not only am I retiring, Im taking Mental Anarchist, and MT1992 with me

Thanks for that Knockdown. Before I get into some questions and comments I have. I would like to take this opportunity to announce that I will be sticking around for two more years before I retire off to kropos sight to have lots of sensible friendly debates.



I would like to commend JK on making such a life changing desicion at the tender age of 13. I know he had many more years of greatness left in him.





This is a fact. It is a cetrainty that ben was giving him the app forum changes the night before. Calling them "over night specials."





Yes but some would call his post reckless even dangerous. Again just like the incident last year in Spain.







Now I hate to have to end this on a bad not but I have to ask. Is there any truth to the rumors of your affair? I have it from a reasonable source(kitty) that you had a monster energy party and after a night of ecstasy and cocaine you were found naked with motochick in the back of Alberto Puigs minivan? Hence your new found religion with brotha willski.

Thats an outright lie. It was not ecstasy and cocaine, i would never touch that ..... It was ruffies and meth

Good things come to those who wait my son. Religious enlightenment is not meant to be easy. Patience.

You only purchased the willski mini bible, not the Crutchlow updated edition. Send me another $50 and enlightenment will follow shortly.

JohnnyKnockdown said:

Perhaps I shall reconsider, given todays circumstances

There may be some validity to your claims

Crutchlow really smashed his way thru the gravel today

Willski said:

Its all part of a bigger picture my son. One that only the most enlightened can yet see.

It begins with Cal smashing his way onto Ben's ride
