I've been asking myself the same question for days and even raised the question in the "Question for StonesTod" thread, speculating that someone complained again about his posts and he finally got banned. I've refrained from speculating further, but now that there's a thread devoted to it, I'll throw in my 2-cents worth. If you look at his final posts at the end of August, for the "concerts, tickets for childrens" thread, that might have done it: his sardonic comments like "leave the snot-nose brat at home" and "give him tickets to the movies and bus fare home" may have unfortunately offended someone, someone new to the board and thus one who wouldn't know how to interpret the humorous tone of his posts. No way would he avoid a thread--2 threads now--with his name in the title--not to mention all the fresh action in Stonesworld. Perhaps you should direct your question to BV...

I have kids and I certainly wasn't offended by his comments, but I can't speak for others. I guess some people here maybe did find his remarks insulting at times, but I don't think he meant any harm, I think it's just his sense of humor.

StonesTod isn't banned and there is no reason he should be. He's making general observations. And the tickets for children comments was....snot on.

Quite right, and ditto about the X-files. Kolchak/Night Stalker actually did have an episode on UFOs, just some invisible (to us) visitors who drop in to our world to feed on metals, electrical energy systems, human bone marrow... Kolchak once prophesied, from 1974, that one day computers would be controlling us. Last year, I picked up a DVD collection of all 20 episodes, and have since viewed it twice. I watched the show when it was on in '74-'75, and believe me, the shows hold up today. I also recommend the two movies before the TV series (The Night Stalker and The Night Strangler, available on one disc). From this distance in time, it's amazing and hilarious to see how many well-known actors/actresses you will recognize from the TV series. In the Night Stalker movies, that's Bob Cobert doing the music, the same music heard in the later episodes of Dark Shadows.
But hey, Max, since you're such a Kolchak fan, why buy the movies on disc when you can click on and see them right here? A little something to watch while we wait for StonesTod to return.
