Home Depot Clearance Sale

So has anyone heard if/when Home Depot will be having their end of year clearance sale?
 
Well, considering an AT'er lost his job because he posted about it last year, I doubt we'll be hearing about it from employees.

If you've got an air compressor, pick up one from Summit Racing. I believe Campbell Hausfield makes them. They frikken rock for autobody work.

Poor Dave...

On a happier note, I was in HD this week and found a couple of already-clearanced items. All of the brown gutter systems (plastic and aluminum) had been marked down. The plastics only had the joints, no gutters or downspouts, but all varieties were $.01 each. The aluminum stuff wasn't as good of a deal, but I picked up some gutters for $2 each, downspouts for $1 each, and the misc joints were $.50 & $1. Also happened down an aisle that had the round roof vents (forget what they're called, they look like basketballs spinning on an axis) and there was a model marked down to $.01 as well. I don't have a use for it yet but you can't argue with anything you can buy for a Lincoln. 😀

eh? banned for what?

Unfortunately he was kinda asking for it, read his post here.

He's really a great guy and has contributed a lot to this forum and I don't recall him being a troublemaker before. Hopefully he'll contact the mods and ask for a lesser punishment like a vacation as opposed to being exiled to the goulag (sp).

:Q - Yep, that'll do it real quick. Hope to see him back soon...

No kidding!
I don't remember him ever badmouthing anyone before that rant.

 
He should have had the forsight to understand his fate when posting that. We've all seen it happen with members we've liked and disliked, but if you bad mouth the mods in that fashion (especially in the forum full of posters/elites that are likely to have alternate personas *wink wink nudge nudge*) then you should realize what's coming. They're under no obligation to provide you with any sort of fair treatment, it is their forum after all. Slow to speak, quick to listen, right guys?

We had been looking for Dave (Evadman) in the Distributed Computing Forum since December 17th. Would it be too much of a courtesy of any Mods to let us know when a family member has been banned? and what maybe happened to cause it?


From Distributed Computing Thread:


OT: Anyone know where Evadman is?

Does anyone know where Evadman is? I see he hasn't logged in since 12/17, which is rather unusual. I have been trying to contact him about the LAN party that amdskip and I are trying to set up in Illinois, but I haven't heard from him at all. Hope he's alright, hopefully he's just away for the holidays!

He was unemployed last I knew. I hope things haven't gotten worse. Probably just busy because of the holiday. Or worse yet maybe his time is being taken up by a new job.

Just saw a post in Off Topic that he was banned for criticizing the Moderators. I don't know if it was a permanent banning or time off to cool down. Apparently Dave (Evadman) was hot about locking or something and he used some pretty strong words to describe the actions of the Mods.

Here is the Post I found out he was banned:

Home Depot Clearance

and here is the post that got him banned,

Why are the Mods so hardcore?

My 2 cents, if worth 2 cents: I hope that it is not a permanent banning. Infraction did not seem harsh enough of a faux pas to be worth that, just words, a stick and stones kind of thing.

He was given a one week vacation. His account has been unlocked since the 24th and he is free to post.

I'm always the last to find out!

You really did get Chief Ferengi, very 😎 , congrats, sorry I'm late.

Does PAB or anyone have some kind of confirmation he was banned? He may have just left on his own after he ranted.
Sorry on my part for not trying harder to get some kind of confirmation too. Never a good thing to AssUme.
