No messages saying he could not login (I know @harry brown has been having difficulty)

Did @aka Contrarian finally run him off?

Did @Pioneer1 find a better Black forum with women willing to tolerate "real" men?

Well your absence is felt. i hope to read your still-believing-in-the-concept-of-race posts soon.

Maybe forum upgrade coincided with the sabbatical @Pioneer1 takes sometimes.😁

Hope he's able to find his way back here. 🤣

Looking forward to him tapping in whenever time permits.😎

I'm more interested in Mel and Chevdov, hoping their absences are just their usual long breaks.

Maybe pioneer is somewhere sulking, lickin his wounds. HeeHaw.

History class was kicking my butt! It was a short semester class jammed packed with a lot of work including up to the very present. I did get an "A" and learned a lot about the United States that even I didn't know! And I read a lot! Some of it was so depressing I felt like I was struggling through PTSD. Thank goodness my professor was a Black woman with a PhD - she held the light towards the finish line. I took the summer off from school. I needed a break. 👋🏽🙋🏽‍♀️

Or maybe he's still trying to climb out of the rubble of the OLD website format that was demolished without warning....lol.

Right before everything collapsed, I read something about Troy changing his mind about updating or reformatting the website.
Next thing I know, the site vanished and when it re-appeared it required me to use some old email address for over a decade ago to access it again....which took me 2 months to dig up, lol.

Welcome back! ^{🙋🏽‍♀️👋🏽} I was in HIST class while Troy was tinkering and missed the upgrade entirely!

Welcome back bro.👍🏿

Thought I was gonna have to roll up to Michigan to find your whereabouts.😁

How so you might ask?

I would've started by interrogating African women.🤣😎

.....and if you had talked to more than 3 -one of them would have surely snagged you with a smile and you would have been TRAPPED in Michigan for the forseeable future...lol.

These African girls are getting pretty good with their lacefront and wore-jeans game....lol.

I love learning too much to focus on just one subject. A dissertation is limiting, and the only subject I know better than communications and marketing, is scheduled passenger airlines.

I initially enrolled in GSU to take some classes and then decided to upgrade my journalism experience by incorporating data science.

Yeah, I recall you saying you used to be a stewardess or something of that nature.
I also recall something about you meeting.....Bill Cosby???....or some famous Black entertainer on one of the flights.
