A lot of great pictures on there. I think Bernie got kicked off here some years ago. _________________ Why be normal when you can be obscure |

Hey Taz & Ron;
Long time no-see. Glad the site is up and running again. We've got a lot of re-building to do but like others have said if we all pitch-in we can get most of it back.
You both are correct about Bernie's. Yes that's his fotki site and yes he was "ex-communicated" so-to-speak. I recall he suffered some health issues (a heart attack I believe), then shortly thereafter he was no longer a site member.
He's still out there though. I see him pop up on other forums. Hasn't updated his fotki NASCAR page in years though. I think he's moved on to other things.

Whatever act of diplomacy it takes, bring him back on board.
Ca, c'est un bon gar.
Can't buy that level of commitment. Or fun. |

Bernie made some valuable contributions during his short tenure on this board. I do know he is still somewhat active on other car enthusiast boards but since I haven't made any attempt to contact him and based upon a recent look at his Fotki site, he hasn't posted any new NASCAR related pics in nearly a decade.
Contact the Moderators. See if they have any issues with his return.
You can always reach out to Bernie and see if he's even willing to come back.
Just some thoughts. |

Bernie posted multiple 1/18 diecast IndyCars here as his 1/25 resin builds with great detail as to what he did to improve the lump of resin body he supposedly started with originally. I do not know the story behind the mods/admins decision but he's been gone about 10 years now.
Afterwards, he was doing similar good reference posting on the Open Wheel Racing Modeling Forum http://mb2501.proboards.com/. Eventually posted someone else's MFH 1967 F1 Eagle build as his own. I never was one good at kicking guys out so I only suspended his account until he fessed up and apologized - he never came back.

Bob & Jordan;
Thanks for clearing that up. While I never knew why he was asked to leave, I figured it was none of my business and trusted that the admin/ mods made a sound decision. I'd rather come here for the information and comraderie and not get into family feuds anyway.
As I've said if anyone wants to view his pics, you can access his Fotki site. He hasn't updated any of his NASCAR stuff in a decade or so, so I think his interests are elsewhere now.
While I wish him well, it's not likely he will return to this board in the foreseeable future. Not without a huge mea culpa on his part.
Done and done.
