Tell me more about Andreus

[justaguy]

Same. Unless there's some serious ethical issue involved I don't know why you'd withhold stuff but bother to mention you "know things."

Oh sorry. I don't know extra things that would shed any more light on the situation. I can't even remember half of what I was typing in now. Jubbers who know me from years ago might remember that if there is a topic I get into, I had a habit of making maybe 6 or 7 posts in a row without really saying much at all. Thats why it would have gone to 40 pages.

Really, most of my points would be based around the fact that I'd prefer to read the mundane story of one real jubber, than the exciting and interesting story of a fake one (unless its in the story forum, which I like). I am really, really passionate about that. I came to the Jub forums at a time when I needed to connect and Jub became very important in my life, helping me through a rocky patch. When Andreus confessed to being HIV+ on here, I thought that was really amazing. That is why I said in that thread :

Andreus,
I have just read your thread from start to finish. It took me an hour or so, but it was one of the most rewarding hours I have ever spent. I don't personally know anyone who is HIV+ (perhaps that is a fault of my own making), but now I feel I do.
Thankyou for sharing and all the best to you. From what I have read, you have all the mental armoury required to fight it. And I believe you will succeed.
Justaguy.

So I spent an hour of my life reading something that I could have done something else more constructive and worthy of my time. There still might be an Andreus, but I very much doubt his story. Unless there is something else that comes to light that swings things around. So, it's been an unpleasant, in many ways, thread, yet fascinating. But at the same time, if someone can see the possible consequences of their actions before embarking on a similar pathway, perhaps some good will come out of it.

That's basically my thoughts in a nutshell.

I wonder why the administration here doesn't require proof of death to place a member into the Garden?

So do you have someone, who in case of your death, will scan your death certificate a mail it to JUB?

Nope? Thought so

There are probably a thousand or more deceased members on this website and we don't even know about their deaths. Just seems ironic that we can honor the loss of someone that may have very well never existed at all.

We also do have a few deceased members where I am very certain that they actually died. Most of them were well not "larger than life" just your average nice jubbers. Some had contact to other posters outside of JUB, some had their life-partner drop us a mail or write a PM.

That's basically my thoughts in a nutshell.

Not that I'm as angry or devastated as I'm probably sounding. It was a long time ago, and as I said at the beginning, I was sceptical some time ago. Until BP said that he knew him, and so I thought perhaps I shouldn't be so sceptical ... and then ...

But I'm not ready to be prescribed anti-anxieties or anything .... I'm still quite capable of functioning as a normal, happy human, despite this thread

Answering your own threads isn't a good sign ... Be careful, you might turn into Joswanprince!

 

[HunterM]

^ Justaguy and joswanprince are the same person???

 

[justaguy]

Answering your own threads isn't a good sign ...

haha ... yea, I know. There must be a term for that in the medical dictionary by now.

 

[ozguy]

.... Until BP said that he knew him

And BP now appears to have gone AWOL .... so the mystery deepens! This has become a plot worthy of an Agatha Christie novel. Not that I personally give a fuck whether Andreus was real or fake, mind! I never considered him a J U B buddy, anyway. To me, he was just another interesting, opinionated & somewhat enigmatic member. Fortunately, the friends I have made on here over the years have all been very 'real' to me, and I've never had any reason whatsoever to doubt that they are who they say they are.

But do carry on with your investigations & comments, folks ... it's fascinating stuff!!

^ Justaguy and joswanprince are the same person???

They lost me there too

 

[borg69unimatrix]

^^^ Joswan has been known to start threads, and then answer his own questions. I just didn't wanna see Justaguy start turning into him when I saw him quoting himself.

Surely you don't think you'll find those pictures I sent you anywhere else?

No way!!! They're our little secret ..... stud!!!

 

[sixthson]

No way!!! They're our little secret ..... stud!!!

Little?

 

[xbuzzerx]

Tiny secret?

 

[refujiunderground]

Little?

are you thinking what i'm thinking?

 

[borg69unimatrix]

I found this surfing... somehow, I thought it fit here since this thread seems to be about resurrecting the un-dead.

... and I just thought it was kind of a cool picture, and didn't know anywhere else to share it.

 

[justaguy]

Let's put it this way. I'm not going to be calling in any representatives from the Guiness Book of World Records.

We're being sidetracked. Better get back on topic.

Until we hear from the moderators, how about a little fun?

BWa ha aha. Purely unintentional but I might have been severely inebriated at the time.

Oh gosh, good old Peto, Croynan's favorite nemesis. Any time Peto posted, I knew Croynan would soon be on his tail .... I really miss Croynan. What a major part of JUB he was and one of the best parts of JUB.

The Croynan vs Peto feud was a truly wondrous thing to behold.

Peto's love of opera made him almost bearable at times.

I too miss Croynan, he was always interesting.

There was another J U B member (an Aussie, I think) who enjoyed taking the piss out of Peto, too, but his name escapes me for the moment. I actually had quite a number of private exchanges with Peto and found him to be a thoroughly charming and interesting guy. And yes, his knowledge of opera was amazing! Whether he actually was who he claimed to be, I don't really know, but I certainly enjoyed the PM's we exchanged. I know that many Jubbers believed he was a complete fake, though.

As for Croynan ... he was a dear friend and I, too, miss him greatly on the boards! I did receive an email from him not too long ago .... He was dealing with a few issues in his life but is doing well and keeping busy.

But I digress .... back to the super sleuthing, everyone!

 

[ozguy]

.... this thread is a mind-fuck.

Nah, it's fascinating!! Actually, I'm finding it quite hilarious. Love all the super sleuthing that's going on.

 

[frankfrank]

Peto_Antoni ..... who remembers him?? Seem to recall a fair bit of drama on the boards when he was posting. Hmmmmm, I wonder ...........

Though he is outside the topic of this thread (because I don't think his persona was a sock-puppet of a concurrent JUBber under a different account name), I was waiting for his name to come up. I don't believe that his JUB persona accurately reflected his own real-life persona, but some of his attributes were hard to fake (such as his knowledge of opera) and were probably true to himself. As with ozguy, I also exchanged some PM's with him and enjoyed what we exchanged, even though I felt he was some-degree-of-fake even at the time.

enchanted/sex kitten is either an alias or lying about a lot of shit. i don't buy his whole entire teacher story.

It occurred to me, at the time, that "I REALLY HOPE THIS STORY IS A FAKE LIE." The alternative, if it's the truth, would mean that a Professor is out there in danger of having his career destroyed, or worse, over something entirely not his fault at all (aside from the bad decision to give answers before the exam). The story struck me as portraying the type of guy who could hold such a grudge that he could suddenly show up in class with a gun and start shooting people.

We also do have a few deceased members where I am very certain that they actually died. Most of them were well not "larger than life" just your average nice jubbers. Some had contact to other posters outside of JUB, some had their life-partner drop us a mail or write a PM.

It would be statistically impossible for some JUB members not to be dying, though it may not be at all common.
