What kind of search did you do to find and re-post an 8-year old thread, and WHY did you it?
An inconsequential thread re-opened with the shallow commentary of 'locked again? lols'...........(is 'lols' multiple 'lol'?.....).

It's funny how we can make things morph into something completely different, I love it.

We sure haven't seen much of Ken for a long time.
I miss his skills, you could carry on a pretty reasonable debate with that guy.

When I click on his user profile it says he last posted on 16 March, 2010. I don't get it...
Ken is a great example of the American Dream- Hard work + an idea = FTE. He said he worked on this site in his spare time, putting in hundreds of hours around his work schedule to get it going, tweak it here and there, upgrade it, etc. The final result was him being bought out for how much money only he knows. Anyway, I miss his inputs, too.

Wow this one brings back memories... 
Yes I completely forgot this thread existed. I was an absolute newbie when I posted that. I thought it was OK to call out the admin of the site in a public forum for locking a thread that I didn't think should have been locked. Oops.
As for Ken... from what I can gather, he spent 8 years or so working pretty much around the clock running this site. I know sometimes he would put in 100+ hour weeks to keep this place afloat and keep a roof over his family's head. His family didn't see him much and I know that bothered him quite a bit. When IB bought FTE, he wanted to take some time off to spend time with his wife and kids to make up for all the years of him being away.

i can understand how some could be sensitive when it comes to the Confederate flag, however you cannot shake your fist at the confederate flag and then turn a blind eye to the fact that Kwanza is a fake holiday invented by a radical racist!
