Is there some good post out there summing up the deal with Andy?
I dunno if he was before my time or what, but I see him constantly brought up and I have no idea what the fuck he did to be talked about so much.

I remember that avatar so obviously not before my time. Must've been the early years when I didn't really pay much attention to the forum drama and politics.

No, there's really no one good post on the subject. Just 7 years of accumulated clusterfuck. A lot of it has been removed from the public eye, "officially redacted", and plenty was just dumped. But just as much made its way into the annals of OTD, which is a bitch to search, even if you're good with the search engine. I'm about to turn in for the night, but sometime I'll hit you with an appropriately wordy explanation of Andy's legacy and saga. Some of it is funny, much of it is dumb as hell. But it's part of boomtown history and people deserve to know.

Yeah I remember it.
I just am completely oblivious to what shenanigans he pulled.

The big and dandy Andy thread . I don't know how that would fare in the eyes of the staff as I never followed what happened. Though everyone does love a good story thread..
TBH though, your propensity to run people off the site was what quickly quashed the talk of you ever becoming a mod.

I run off shitbirds, morons, and other undesirables. Whether the mainstream staff wants to admit it or not, I provide a valuable service. If this was not the case, I would've gone the way of bassfreak ages ago. That's the official reason, the unstated one is that I butthurt personally a few of the people in the position to name mods. They're never going to say "Burke hurt my feelings 8 years ago, so no"; it's easier for them to pretend it has something to do with my acerbic nature, when there are actually just as many staffers who have ran off members of the userbase.

My ex made an account on the growery (she's a big stoner) and within like 12 hours she had a from Andy (under whatever name he used there) asking all sorts of weird shit and whether she was actually a female, etc... Just 
And on his Christmas wishlist

I can't wait to hear Burke's account on his legend now. He sounds pretty hilarious.

Burke had a spill and ended up in the hospital with a jacked up neck several months/a year ago. I've done worse.

Like what? Burke had his dick and nuts tucked between his legs, walking around like Buffalo Bob in an effort to get a laugh out of Spots and tripped.. That's kinda spicy (obviously fiction for any gullible readers)
