He didn't play games, didn't leave us hanging on dates, and never coming through on information. With that being said, I've mention before that the energy some former bring would be greatly appreciated in other cities.

That's an interesting take on things. I see where you're coming from.

That's what they did in deleting some posts. A3K then insisted that he be banned. So they did. Dude adds a lot of info to the forum but needs to learn to communcate without all the drama. It's just not that serious.

What happened to Terminus?

I like Atlanta3000, but perhaps, a break from the forum would be good for him.

Totally agreed.
What's interesting is that he resembles so many characters of Trump who he abhors!

I think we're all in line to get banned now because this in itself is off topic. Someone clearly has an ego too big for his or her britches.

This isn’t on the mod. 3k asked to have his account deleted, and it was probably the third time he taunted a mod to ban him. He thought he was above the rules.

Very true! That topic should have never been on this thread to begin with.

Nothing. I'm just busy with work and find it's easier to just keep my mouth shut. There is so much misinformation spread on here now.

Sigh...

Well that is not good as most of the "information" we are given is of the positive nature..

Hmmm, it looks like Amazon madr a 2nd visit to Miami as well...

I've even sent private messages telling A3k that he/she was misleading people on here.

paytonc · #**1875** Posted **Oct 6, 2018, 4:44 PM**

A3000 seems to have posted some renderings on Twitter.

Follow-up visits are certainly interesting (and Miami was definitely not on my short-short list!), but the lack of a report about a follow-up visit might not mean anything -- especially given the numerous NDAs out there.

i think they should have been banned when they hyped everybody up over a damn casino

in all seriousness this is just an online forum, i like ATL3K but recently they've had this really intense kind of abusive relationship with this forum, threatening to leave forever unless their ego is stroked— would any of our lives really be ruined forever if *any* poster was to leave the forum, no matter how important? it's ultimately just a forum and i think the best thing ATL3K could do is take a break and realize that it's the sum of all of us that makes the forum work, not any one poster.

I agree as well. In this period of increasing vituperation there is a need for more civility and humor.

Miami wasn't on my short list either, but it's an interesting choice. I have some friends that are Venezuelan and they see Miami as the gateway to S America.

Also, Amazon has made it clear they expect the cities to keep their mouth shut, so maybe the leader is one of the cities we hear nothing about.

SIGSEGV · #**1880** Posted **Oct 9, 2018, 3:11 AM**

Miami seems like a very poor choice from a disaster aversion perspective.
