I know I'm still new but who's Tom Brown? And where did he go?
Canadian member that was on the forums for over a decade. A year or so ago he more or less left rdp. He and jerboas rain started another forum awhile back but from what I understand it shut down awhile ago. He can still be found on Facebook, and other sites occasionally. He's a hell of a nice guy, with a bit of a twisted sense of humor.

What part of Canada does he live?
Regina Saskatchewan
Never crossed his path. Mind you I live in B.C.
Who is Tom Brown??
This will probably get me relegated to "Grads"status but....
IMO,
He was just a sick phuck.
The Internet was a godsend for him,it allowed him to say shit to people that he'd never say to their face.
I think he reveled in his Internet phenom status,buoyed by a couple of boot lickers who fawned over his every post.(I think they were afraid he'd light em up)
He had a man crush on Froggy.
Always wanted to meet him,just to see if he was as mouthy face to face

I think he was a misunderstood genius, that those with onion skin could not tolerate due to their insecurities,
Smothered in bacon grease.Nothing less than a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.
Free Tom Brown!
I miss Tom Brown and his humor. Hopefully one day he will decide to come back and post again.
Whatever he is up to these days, I hope he is doing well.
Oh yeah, bring back JBB, his thatch, and that mangy little ankle biter dog Bobo. [emoji1] [emoji106]

They make an anointment for that.
I miss those guys.
Wish it could all be smoothed over.

I'm proud to say, Tom is my friend. He is a highly intelligent individual that walks to his own vision of what his life should be, and not what others think it should be. His humor was So fucking over that top, half the time I had to google the words he used, to figure out wtf he was talking about! Only then did it make sense. He it way smarter than most of us will ever be.
He used to spend a lot of time on this forum, making a lot of us laugh our ass's off. Some of us miss him here greatly. Apparently others (that clearly never got to know him), not so much. He lives up in Canada in a beautiful place, most of us would love to live in. Married to a very pretty gal, who is just as smart and well spoken as him.
He loved to fuck with people! If you let him, he would piss you off to no end! But you had to let him, the choice was yours. Some people just don't have the ability to comprehend, that the choices you make are your own. They can't comprehend that if You are pissed off, it's your own doing. Tom would spin these people in circles just to have fun with them, and the rest of us enjoyed the show!
Mean? Maybe. Bully? Maybe. But Tom could take it as well as dish it out. He was never a one way kinna guy. :thumbup:
This place use to be not stop laughs. Lots of thick skin fuckheads, going at each other all day. Nobody got butt hurt. It was all good fun, but sadly those days are gone.
Tom left with them He is missed but a lot of us...

Who is Tom Brown? He's the guy who is not in this picture below of my family, OC's family and his family. He's not there (cause we found out later) he had snuck off to pay the whole bill for all 10 of us in Catalina this particular day. That's who Tom Brown is. One fucking outstanding guy.

Misspelling or prophetic?
We need a ruling.
...His humor is what brought me to this site...He could take the simple and mundane and convolute it into the most complex and outrageous...More than once he had me rolling on the floor...In stark contrast the Slow Whacker mental style initally kept me away,...but Tom Brown and all that knew how to play the game drew me in ... The back-and-forth banter that he created is sorely missed... I love to watch a genius at work...
Did I miss the name of Tom's site, or does anyone have it? Thanks
That all said, the victims of those games were also permanently driven away from not only this site but boating forums in general. Some of those people were decent people others were mentally unstable.
When all that shit was going on my phone was blowing up constantly. Not just on brown but a few of the regular clowns. There was a few actual fist fights that happened from shit that transpired on a few of the sites etc.. Lots of friendships and a few marriages etc ruined.
Now that for the most part a lot of that shit is gone.. The only time my phone rings is when it's someone calling to shoot the shit, or a Mfg telling me about something new etc..
I didn't start this place to be hotboat version 2.. And I helped start other boards that ended up being like that and there's a reason I left them and want no part of it.
It's simple RDP is a place to escape work for a few minutes a day.. A place to share custom builds and good weekends, and a sense of community members can lean on when needed etc whether that be emotional or other.. A place where mfg's can in someways interact with the public without fear of having the haters bash the shit out of them etc..
When you stray much outside of those parameters is when things start going down hill in a hurry. People say drama creates clicks.. My response to that is it doesn't in the long run. Negativity breeds negativity.
While I consider Tom a friend, I gotta be honest.. I miss him not the Schtick.

This thread has gone pretty much the way I had anticipated it would...
It's not about being thick skinned or not,
To me,it's about the old adage of never post something derogatory to someone that you wouldn't say to their face...
I seriously doubt that he'd of been as lippy face to face.
Tom didn't really say derogatory things directly......he made you have to think or look up what he said...lolThis thread has gone pretty much the way I had anticipated it would...

See....promised you I wouldn't do that again either[emoji1] lolI'm not for promoting links to start up websites on Rdp.. No offense to other people.
