The end is nigh

bonkey

I've thought quite a bit about how to approach this topic.

I thought about not posting it at all, but I don't think the spirit of this forum is about keeping silent.
I thought about making a joke of it...but jokes can go horribly wrong, and I was never so good at humour.
I thought about writing something long and sentimental, but I do sentimentality worse then I do humour.
I thought about writing something inspirational, but that's not my forte either.

Instead, I'll just stick to the facts.

I am stepping down as moderator of this forum.
I leave you with three great mods, who I have every faith in.

I hope I leave the forum in as good a condition as I found it. My apologies if you feel otherwise...but you can take solace in the fact that I will no longer make it any worse

It has been fun.

These are the facts. Feel free to speculate.

And finally, I would like to share some advice that a work colleague recently gave me:

There's only two rules you need to follow in life:

1) Never disclose everything you know.

Sorry to see you go Bonkey. Hope you'll stick round as you often took part in great discussions and presented good information etc.

Your logic and reason will be sorely missed. I hope you'll still post though.

I thought the same, and when I seen Bonkey had started the thread it was a real "WTF" moment.

Anyway, thanks for all the work you put in here Bonkey. Much appreciated.

Oh and one last thing... you've given me more infractions that anyone on boards.ie but have to say they were all fully deserved. So that fairness and balance will be missed too.

The end is nigh

Seen as bonkey did such a great job here why don't we chip together and buy him some apocalypse friendly real estate, let him be pampered through armageddon with his very own (co ownership) place in a Vivos Vault.
It will only cost $50,000 and I'd like to show my appreciation for his fine contribution by volunteering myself as fundraiser/accountant/safe-keeper to this wonderful show of admiration by fellow CT posters, when the sum has been raised I will forward it all towards Bonkeys reservation.
We'll all feel so much better knowing Bonkeys probably sipping a martini in the cinema as we're being burned to ashes or washed away by a giant tsunami.



Each unit accomodates 172-200 people, building work will begin on the network just as soon as it gets enough co owners, so we really should be getting down to the nitty gritty now.



Just pick whatever location suits you best Bonkey, they only have one shelter built already, actually its built since the 50's and looks a bit grubby and small at the moment, but come doomsday it will be become a palace of funk and whimsy.

The central theme to all end-of-the-world scenarios is to find shelter underground. The soil of the Earth itself can provide the best shelter for most catastrophes including a pole shift, super volcano eruptions, solar flares, earthquakes, tsunamis, and asteroids, as well as potential for many more manmade devastations such as nuclear bombs, bio terrorism, chemical warfare, and even the return of Planet X (known as Niburu or Nemesis) and the solar disturbances it will cause.

The Vivos complexes will be deep underground, airtight, fully self-contained shelters designed to survive virtually any catastrophe, or threat scenario including natural disasters, a nuclear blast, chemical and biological weapons, or even social anarchy. Each self contained shelter complex will comfortably accommodate a community of 172 - 200 people, in spacious quarters, for up to 1 year of autonomous survival to ride out the potential events. Every detail has been considered and planned for. Members need to only arrive before the facility is sealed and secured.

Millions of people believe that we are living in the “end times”. Many are looking for a viable solution to survive potential future Earth devastating events. Eventually, our planet will realize another devastating catastrophe, whether manmade, or a cyclical force of nature. Disasters are rare and unexpected, but on any sort of long timeline, they're inevitable. It's time to prepare!

The accepted solution to most of the threat scenarios is to find underground shelter. The soil of the Earth itself can provide the best shelter for most catastrophes, including a pole shift, super volcano eruptions, solar flares, earthquakes, asteroids, tsunamis, nuclear attack, bio terrorism, chemical warfare and even widespread social anarchy. The governments of the world have been busy building vast underground shelter complexes for the elite. What do they know? The rest of us are on our own, without a long-term survival solution. Watch this video.

Vivos is a privately funded venture, with no religious affiliations, building a global network of underground shelters, to accommodate thousands of people. Vivos will provide a life assurance solution for those that wish to be prepared to survive these potential events, whether they occur now, in 2012, or in decades to come.

Say we're sorry to see them go? Generally yes.

Jaysus Espinolman, that is a bit Harsh,there have been a LOT of really bad Moderators over the years on Boards, Bonkey however wasnt one of them, and YES, Most of the Posters here are Sad that he is stepping down.

But he's still anAdmin, so we still have some Representation in the upperechelons of Boards

No but you said it once already and then repeated yourself again a few posts down the page.
