Site Takeover

I am declaring myself the new boss(moderator), from here on out. If anybody is having a problem, come to me. If people want to argue all day whether the chin or Salerno were the boss, you're free to do so. If SC tries to boss anyone around, ignore him. I am the new sheriff in town. Don't prefer me by name, either...call me "papers". Capice?

Just who the fuck are you kid? Jesus Christ where do we get these nutjobs?

I'm the boss around here, nowadays. Capice?

*Yawn....waiting for SC in 3,2,1.....

Papers, you must be Italian. You say "capice" a lot.

Oh gee ok hahaha

SC ran to "RealDeal" when he seen me here. Trust me, he wont be coming around here again, Joe. Capice? Now that I got you attention, bring up some articles for me on this Phily trial, Capice?

Carmela, is that Pink?

Probably a Real Deal poster who is bored cause that board is getting crappier everyday. Can't blame ya.

Joe, if I dont see articles on this Philly story shortyly, I am going to have to make an example out of you, capice?

this had me doubling up. First off, I'm Irish kay? Second off, theres Philly threads with articles in them already go check them out. But I doubt you'll be around here much longer to enjoy them

So we gotta Irishman on here, getting tough with the boss, huh?

Seriously. Where do we get these people?

Papers was sent away to get paper-trained.

ok boss

hahahahaha, it's GangsterBB with older man with a more social club feel. This is more stoop like.

Who is this tool?

Some of these morons that come on here make me wonder. Should we make this an invitation only site?

I don't know if this threat is real or not, but it did give me a hearty laugh this morning.

Morons

This has been brought up before, and I ordinarily post something like, It's Geoff's site and that we shouldn't even bring it up publicly without pm'ing him first. But I'm starting to think that it's not a bad idea. And if not, at least have a strict probabtion period for new members.

I agree. Or why not let the new members introduce themselves to the siteowners, before signing on, and tell a little bit about themselves. Why they are here, which aspects of orginized crime thay are interested in, how the interest was born etc. That way, I think, it will be easier to seperate the nutcases from the serious posters who wants to join.

I know I'm not a regular poster, but I think this would be a terrible idea. I have followed on the site for a couple years now, and even though I have only posted a handful of times, I still access the site daily. I enjoy the new topics as well as the older ones. I tried to get on RD a few years back, not with any intention of posting, but just to follow along but its "Closed Books" policy wouldn't allow me to even browse. Now that I have found this site I have no reason to even check RD to see if the books will ever be opened again. Just know that not every new member is an idiot. The knowledge base many of you have on this site is amazing and, in my opinion, should be shared with all who are interested. All in all I don't care what is decided because I'm already in, but just wanted to let some of you "vets" know that you just because not all people post daily like you doesn't mean they aren't enjoying it just as much. Sorry if I overstepped my bounds, now carry on and continue to inform me

Geoff is against doing that. Keep in mind these boards don't only concentrate on OC (where the problem is endemic) but have other fields of discussion and these other forums don't have any asshole issues.

For what it's worth - This is the only message board style site I check regularly and post in occasionally. I am a member of the Real Deal and most of the knowledgable posters over there also post here (some have the same usernames and some you can just tell based upon their writing style and position on various issues). I find the format here to be much more desireable and have completely stopped logging onto the Real Deal.

That being said, I don't understand how MANY threads seem to devolve into childish name-calling. I don't mind the back and forth arguing on relevant issues (i.e. Gamms and Ivy) since it forces people to really lay out their reasons for saying/thinking X, Y or Z.

I kinda like that idea. I don't post on here much. But I'll openly discuss my interests when it comes to organized crime topics. I've got a rather peculiar obsession with tracking down the graves of "reputed" mobsters. Its pretty much another dimension of doing research.

Are we sure we haven't seen this Tony fellow before? I mean, he already knew who SC was.

The amount of detailed OC information found on the RD site is unmatched. The pubilished OC authors make the site what it is. Also, if you never had the opportunity to read any of Pic's posts, you missed out. His 'Frankie The Fly' post is a classic, and is still being read. It is several years old. This site also has its merits, and is very entertaining. Both sites have back and forth bickering, unfortunately. I use peruse both sites daily.

Frankie the fly? The guy with down syndrome who was arrested for fuckin some dead woman in a funeral home? That guys a north jersey legend like Jesus the Hobo....

+1

The story I read about the Fly over on the RD is classic. Pic was a little full of himself but boy did he have some good good inside information. And Scott the Author is great on Detroit and he wrote the Crazy Phil book. I read that book in like two days. Thats quick for me.

Has the coup been squashed, lol...

I actually think this was a good joke, but maybe that's just me.

Bad idea. Either make it invite only or open to anyone. People should choose for themselves whether they want to introduce themselves or not. This isn't kindergarten. Anyway it's Geoff's call.

In the words of Sergeant Hulka; "Lighten up, Francis!".
Funny post. You knew this guy was history before reading the second sentence!

Somehow I know I will get blamed for this idiot

Whats the Hierarchy of the GBB... Whose the boss Geoff or Don Caridi? Sc is the consigliere? So I guess Turnbull is the underboss ..or is there a 3 man ruling panel...

Pizzaboy = Street Boss

For what I've heard Pizzaboy doesn't fulfil an official function in this organization. My sources tell me that the current street boss/acting boss is someone from Staten Island. They wouldn't tell me his name though as only whispering it can cause serious repercussions. The official boss is still Geoff and from what I've heard he still receives his cut. Turnbull is a caporegime in charge of The Godfather crew. Another capo is Don Cardi but word on the steet is that he's on the lam.

I missed this thread.

Leave me the fuck out of this .

Lol you guys crack me up

Hey Pizz didn't we establish this a while back, your skipper of the Bronx guys, which as far as I know is just me you and Dapp haha

You can be my front boss while I walk Harding Avenue in a bathrobe and slippers. Speaking of which, I went to deChantal for ashes yesterday because I missed them at Saint Benedict's, which is my "regular" parish .

Dapper gets to keep the West Bronx to himself, from the Concourse to the River. My Spanish is getting rusty anyway .

i always thought that pizzaboy was the capo of the common sense crew, even though they don't have that many members left

I remember getting ashes at Saint Benedicts as a little kid, I didnt get them yesterday and my mother called to give me a scolding haha

I heard the Geoff / don caridi / SC setup is all front for imamobguy. He's the real boss, hes just pulling a Chin act.

You guys can have NY, I'd like to be the west coast capo, I'll shake down porn shops and run a limo and escort company out of Vegas, lol....send someone out to collect an envelope every few months...

I get Da Windy City... everything but da east side! (Lake Michigan!)

What part do I get mark?

Boss of the " A little Light in the loafer's faction!"

You got it Skip, they dont call me papi chulo for nothing.



LMAO

Dap will have to form an alliance with gangsta rapper Daddy Yankee

I'll be the "corrupt Irish associate"

What about me!

"Pretty soon there won't be anyplace in Brooklyn that I can hang my hat"

that guy is def no gangster lol, he has a few good songs tho



dont go pulling a whitey bulger on us now haha

Aah, this is the Bronx we're talking about. They call everyone here Papi Chulo. Even some of the women .

LCN1987 = The Capo in Queens

Sal your under LCN1987

Sal, you will need to get the little boy from under him first!

Should LCN be taken down and Sal Bumped Up?

Treat him like his boy Galante

DC's been on the lam for a while now, need to put the word out and get him back..

There only seems to be idiots( if i may say) on this part of the board, every other part of the message is fine.

What are your credentials to be calling people idiots?

His credentials are 41,000 posts made up of posting in the Games thread.

I was referring to the Author of this post, how did i know carmela would get her 2 pence worth.

Read back to the start of the topic, worst names than idiot being shouted about..

Good one!

We'll make EastHarlemItal Street Boss/Front Boss. That way he thinks he's really the boss when he isn't! LOL.

LCN1987, your not learning yet! There is a difference between a Front Boss and street boss. Go back and read what they are. I know its a holiday today in France so your one sentence response may take some time. Viva la France!

This have been one of the funniest post I read. LoL.

Ya! More posts in the games section makes you an expert at spotting idiots! You become certified after 30K

To be fair De Niro is a pretty cool dude. He was only trying to point out tonytwotimes was a tool

De Niro is good people! if you disagree, piss off back across the pond you fucking wankers, the whole lot of you

The day I reach 40,000 Posts is the day I jump off the brooklyn bridge yelling "BB 4 LIFE!"

Never said he wasnt good people! I like DeNiro. He just thinks were all blokes(SIC)

Crilley Moses! It was a joke. DeNiro with a Mayer Lansky pic is ok in my book.

Sorry Mr DeNiro! I didnt know you had a hit crew!

Well i've been here 7 years more than you and there was a time when the games section was pretty busy and the post count counted in the games part hence the high post count. It sounds like your thinking im better than you all just because i have a much higher post count than everybody else. I dont believe me..

I just think your better because your part of the British Empire!

I class myself as English not British.. The rest are irrelevant..

So its like a DeNiro Empire

DeNiro is a good man. And that's that.

Agabeat!
