said by Johkal  :I met a lot of good people, wacky people and had such a party here. I learned so much from the techs here. I will miss the craziness and the personal feeling of a club atmosphere, rather than the clinical feeling most forums exude. The best to all for a successful future. Ditto that from me Johkal  |

| I was FORCED to pop in and say goodbye from a certain goblin. Well, it was more of a polite request, but that would be kind of odd for me to say goodbye when I am just getting back from a miserable stay in Florida for 5 months and hated every second and am just coming back to town. So to Adelphia and the Adelphiaonians, goodbye, but to my fellow buffalonians, HELLO and IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK!!!!!!!!
And anyone else reading, if you know anyone in the market for a PC tech, or help desk, CALL ME DAMMIT!

With the transition of the company came a lot of change for everyone within the company. I began my employment with Adelphia Communications around 2 and a half years ago in Coudersport. I lurked DSLR for quite some time before finally trying to post and help a few times here and there. It is a great feeling to receive a PM from someone thanking me for help. At one point early in employment I worked the overnight shift and actually talked to a few of the forum members who referenced Hobs and my own posts during our conversation. Unfortunately, they never knew and I never got to tell them that I was indeed "Theseus". 
After the buy out and the eventual closing of the Coudersport call center, I was transfered to Buffalo to continue within the department I was working in Coudersport. I know its been hard for a lot of customers, and it has been hard for the employees as well. It has been fun in the forum and I thank those that have taught me new things as well. There are times when my good friend DSLR member, Pericles, will mention old threads in conversation.
Threads that always stick out in my mind:
-bbscript's semi-annual "Where is the Extreme, Adelphia?" threads.
-various Van Nuy's threads
-Beer threads!
You will find me around in other forums on the board, the Comcast HSI for my girlfriend, the Linux/Unix forum to learn some new things, and every now and then in various other forums. I hope to see everyone around. |

I joined Adelphia in 2002 and was posting in here as tac5962 back in the days of the Dallas/Fort Worth nightmare, NON-DOCSIS, @home, 1-3 day modem provision, no free leases on a consistant basis, overloaded Nortel HES servers, phone queues of 100+, mandatory overtime, slow or no mail...the list goes on. I also had the pleasure of being one of Hobgoblin's first minions on his rise up the corporate ladder and being one of the first to be a part of the new chat system before my move to IT.
ANYWAY, this was always a great place to get things done, there were a lot of people behind the scences that watched this forum and were able to get things done on a more personal level. I have had a number of "thank you" emails from customers for going the extra mile, and usually that extra mile lead me to here.
There were a ton of talented people that worked for Adelphia and in my opinion, we were much more efficient than those that took us over.
It was a hell of a run and I will miss seeing this forum in my favorites.
P.S. If anyone still wants to catch of glimpse of John Rigas he is still wandering around town, but his appeals are running out, so hurry.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.

So where is everyone heading off to?
For me:
1. I will still be an Internet junkie. See »aqfl.net as an example.
2. I will still visit Security and RR (I have to use it :P) forums here.
3. I will be the same old crazy ant as usual.

And so the blank PM from Sorto tells me this thread is not going to be up much longer, so I better chime in!!
Cheers you cheeky nubcake! It has been a strange ride, from the both of us doing the same schlep job on the phones to the different places in different companies that we are at now.
I know we gotta meet up for that beer I owe you, I haven't forgotten!
And for the forum...man oh man. October 22nd, 2000 was my first day here. Not too long after I started at Adelphia's Buffalo call center. Some of the arguments have been legendary, and once you could peel back the layers of our bullshit, there were answers to be had. We had Hicker's crusades, Webmainiac's illogical ramblings polluting EVERY thread in the forum, the D/FW ATM Black Hole of Doom, Cbryrd's fight to get answers, SOL's timely interjections with a beer comment, ah the memories!! (And SOL claims she's hot , but I haven't seen proof of this yet!! I feel left out of the barrel!!) More recently, we had good old WMH threatening me with all kinds of nonsense over subjects he knew exactly dick about. That was a fun week!!
All in all, there have been some real douchebags around here, myself included from time to time. Sorto has done a great job with the occasional backhand when I needed it. But all in all, it's been real, it's been fun, just not always really fun. :-p |

It was a great ride here in this forum. The techs that posted here were a great asset to many of us helping with the big and the small problems we all had at one time or another. Not to mention the many off topic threads about beer and Kelly Pickler.....
It was a sad day when Adelphia was bought out. I had hopes they were going to emerge from bankruptcy on it's own. Alas, I am now a Time Warner customer. To be fair, TW has been treating me very well but customer support was better with Adelphia when I needed to call. It also helps Adelphia tech were officially allowed to post here too, unlike Time Warner tech that are not officially allowed to.
This forum and the fun, friendly and helpful people that frequented it are greatly missed and much appreciated. |
