DLD says a sad goodbye to Thundersplace

Gee, I haven’t seen so much controversy since the US went to war with Iraq over all those WMDs.

* * *

Given DLD’s character, I can readily see why he would feel betrayed. What is a little less difficult to excuse is all the venom on this thread.

Pixels…nothing but trouble.

Petey amuses me to know end. There are always leaks. Hell, most of my livelihood depends on them.

It’s a growth industry.

Wishing everyone the brightest possible success,
(and mighty cocks to match)

Cheers!

(If I’m a touch flippant on this issue, there’s good reason. DLD doesn’t need my defence, and if he could squish this annoying OCD quirk he’s been nurturing…the man could be a god.)

And just exactly who started this thread, and with what tone?

How many others are going to fall prey to his manipulation?

How many others are going to fall prey to his manipulation?

More venom.

From a moderator, no less.

At the side? To me it looks like he´s measuring from the top, slightly off center.

Guiri,

Yes, a 10.5” FSL is HUGE. Anyone who disputes that fact is blatantly wrong, either that or they have ridiculously high standards. Get a ruler and look at where 10.5 is.

I have always measured from the side. Curiously, I get the same measurement in EL by measuring from the top or the side. I am very accurate at measuring.

I dont think the tape measure was specially made, due to the fact that if it was, each inch would actually be less than an inch, meaning his hand would be less than 4”, which I doubt.

There is however a slight bend in the measure near the base, and at the top at the end of the stick that the measure is stuck to, which would add a little.

By pointing down while measuring FSL, I only (lol) get an extra 0.5”. It is hard to tell what position he is in, but it looks like he is sitting and pulling SO.

I am not going to argue about whether his gains are real and what his size really is because I dont care, but it has to be said that the size in that photo is impressive by anyones standards.

Strange things happen… In June 02 Tom Hubbard left this forum and was never seen again. Big fight. A lot of anger and fury. Strange accusations. And now it’s DLD. June seems to be a difficult time for PE gurus.

I don’t get it. And I still don’t understand why DLD lost his status. He’s no threat to this forum. His MOS site looks great. But I guess it’s just another pay site marketing a “method” that will work for some people - but not for all people.

Nothing beats Thunders. That’s because it doesn’t promote a certain method or certain exercices. It doesn’t do that for a good reason - “the” method, the thing that works for everybody, has yet to be found. DLD will have a certain limited success with his site - but in the end we all will join here again. To find the “real thing”…

IMO:

Further discussion here serves no real purpose.

This thread should be deep-sixed.

Bad move with the pay site DLD :homer:

Don’t get me wrong, you taught me a lot about how to go about the excercises, and did a great job at that.

But as pinocchio said

Oh well, things change, things stay the same.
But the wisdom will flourish as time goes by.

Cheers,

SS4Jelq. Same here, I get the same readings but measure from the side for comfort and photographic purposes.

I guess I cannot resist posting my thoughts on this troublesome issue. Mods are chosen because they displayed above average character, willingness to help and genuine interest in the improvement of this forum. Which I might point out is the very reason DLD was asked to be a Mod. With this in mind it seems to me a private round table discussion between the Mods and DLD should take place in an attempt to smooth all this out and hopefully come out with a mutual understanding that will be embraced by all involved (including DLD). We are taking advantage of a FREE site and alot of HARD work by others, as members lets not forget this and support the MODS. I personally never interacted with DLD but I have always enjoyed his contributions. I wish him well. But I stand behind this forum and the Mods who keep it going.

Well said.

This should have been done in the beginning. Instead you have the players worried or feeling uncomfortable about whether or not discussions could have been read by him in the mod forum. This all should have been discussed with him in the first place. Its a no-brainer.

Its becoming clearer with some of the posts here that some people/mods did have real issues with him. And maybe this is why it wasnt discussed with him. Because it would have been one downright nasty discussion and maybe some people found it easier to talk about how they feel with him not there apparently.

Not well done by all concerned imho.

Mods,

Can we stop this thread?

There is no meaning to continue the discussion because no matter how many people are calling him back, DLD would never come back to speak from what I see at least in a foreseeing period. I just visited his forum. Obviously, he is doing very well there. For those who still want the help from DLD, you can always join his forum. For the remaining people, let’s make Thundersplace better and better! Let’s go back to our PE exercises. I missed my routine the day before yesterday due to reading this thread. I need to go back because I know, no matter if DLD is here or not, our penis has to be enlarged by ourselves, by our hard works! :)

Good luck, everyone!

DLD is not God, he maybe a great guy but he is just like anybody else who posts a picture, that looks like a scam picture will be called on it. He has a tape measure attached to a soft tube what happens to a soft tube while doing a bone pressed measurement, it will fold on the bottom.

I’m not saying this is the case but if joe blow posted a picture like this he would get eaten alive.

Whatever DLD size is I wish I was that big, I really don’t know what size he started at but he is big now.

I wasn’t going to post anymore on this thread but since it’s still here I got pulled back into the bullshit.

The only issue I have with DLD is the double standards that are given to him. DLD should have to live by the same rules as all of us on thunders and if he can’t he has his own place now to make his own rules.

I just wanted to say that all of the moderators have done a good job handling this and all other issues. It is one of your tasks to consider and weigh all situations and that is just what you as a group have successfully done.

Now more than ever I am proud to be a member of this forum and I am committed to finding an anonymous way of donating to show my support for Thunder’s Place.

The review that the mods took absolutely needed to happen and the mods would not have been doing their jobs if they had not discussed this and all issues. Kudos to you guys.

It is, however, unfortunate that this unknown petey fellow used partial information and cryptic language to make it appear to the group that inappropriate behavior was taking place in the mod forum.

I am a little surprised to see so many gullible people falling for this tactic. Who is behind this? Well, it doesn’t’t really matter. What really matters is that Thunder’s Place continues as intended and with the good moderation that we have come to appreciate. DLD was one of this group and was a valued member of Thunder’s Place. Thunder’s Place is a community of 6500 people and loosing 1 person is not a significant impact. The real value of this forum remains with the other 6499 AND all of the intellectual property in the database. This forum is not and never will be about any one person.

When a person chooses to venture out from a personal level to a business level, business comes first. DLD is taking care of his business and good for him. The moderators of this forum are chartered to take care of Thunder’s Place much the same as a business.

I say more power to Thunder’s Place! All of you are what makes this work. From this point forward DLD’s web site will be limited to what one man can share about PE. Here we have many great minds working together. This is the team to be on for the long run, much as it was the team that DLD chose. What DLD is selling is a pretty, well organized package that truly has a value to a lot of men and he should be payed for his efforts in his business.

The fact remains that the real power of PE development remains in this forum.
