RealGM

Ladies & Gentleman- please join me in the celebration of a board hero.

Rudy_T aka Phil 2.0 aka Phil X & Phil XI aka John Black has announced his retirement from the General and Laker boards after many years of heavy lifting for us.

When the board was cast into utter chaos and Mongolian Warlords, Suns Fans, Heat Homers, and general rif-raff, were running amok- he helped stabilize things with his steady hand (one hand is steady, actually, but the other is like Michael J Fox on 3 red bulls and a caramel macchiato). When the General board was filled with Laker hating weirdo Mods, he was our Laker loving weirdo mod.

What's more he's Dashing!:


His lady is smoking hot!:


His car looks like this!:




The good news is JB should be joining us here more as a poster as he cools off from the white hot glow of exiting the General Board's atmosphere. Can you hear me Major John?

Thank you for your service sir!

He can hold his breath for an hour without straining... Doesn't poop.
Only eats because he chooses to. And only drinks the fermented tears of virgin fairies...

But he was an OK mod.

Here's hoping being relatively useless as just a poster, brings you all the happiness you're looking for.

Love,
Kilroy

now we have no green mods

This is not goodbye, but hello. Welcome back, John Black!

Your last act of duty should be to get me off read only on the GB for defending the Lakers

Congrats on the retirement

Godspeed JB!

This man spent alot of his own valuable time helping promote healthy discussion on RealGM. He really put in alot of effort to make this an online community where Lakers fans can feel welcomed instead of constantly harassed like in most corners of the web. Personally I have alot of respect for Phil for what he's accomplished online and in his personal life.

Now that you'll have more relaxation time on your hands, Phil, I expect a golf meet up in Diego one of these days! I'll have your retirement gift ready for you when we do hit the links!

Thanks for your sacrifices man, and enjoy your new found spare time!

When does Phil get his statue in front of Staples Center?

Can I have his lady

Damn...I was expecting him to assume the name "Mitch Kupchak" next.

Anyway you did well JB.

Probably the best poster I have seen on RealGM. Dude is a straight up "G". Cant wait for him to start posting here back on the lakers board. Welcome back bruh!!

John Black led the effort and many of our mods tried to address that issue, but basically it fell on deaf ears. We'll still fight it, but my advice to everyone is stay on the Lakers forum. Or don't be controversial on the other forums.
Basically take a while to get a feel for the other forum and it's politics before you post.

Translation: If you go all YOLO!!!... Don't cry to us when you get bounced.

Nice car Phil.

Also thanks, came across this...

Congrats man. Enjoy your retirement.

Congrats Phil.

I remember when I first joined this forum I was so impressed with your thoughtful comments and knowledge of the league and of the Lakers.

Job extremely well done!!!

John Black is literally in black

Will never get used to this
