SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers around the identity of a user named "tribdog" and a YouTube channel associated with that name. Participants debate the semantics of being a "channel poster" versus the actual creator of the channel. The conversation highlights misunderstandings about link attribution and the nature of online identities, with users like "pallidin" clarifying that he merely posted a link to tribdog's channel, not claiming authorship. Ultimately, the discussion reflects on tribdog's absence from the forum and the community's concern for his well-being.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of online forum etiquette and terminology
- Familiarity with YouTube channel structures and link sharing

- Awareness of community dynamics in forum settings

- Explore the role of semantics in online discussions and misunderstandings
- Learn about YouTube channel management and user engagement
- Investigate the history and contributions of notable forum members like tribdog
This discussion is beneficial for forum moderators, community managers, and users interested in understanding online communication dynamics, particularly in relation to identity and link attribution.

I don't trust your judgment on this one, I will need to see his social security number to be sure.

This isn't funny, tribdog may be in prison or dead. He had an "unusual" life.

Well, apparently, I'm resurrected as tribdog to some people.
Can't imagine why. Way too bizarre for me.
Must admit though, this thread is seriously funny.

He's a long time member...lives an unconventional life. He's made some great posts. But I think many of his posts had to be removed immediately
...he keeps the mentors very busy, when he comes around.- #72

Now I'm actually interested in this tribdog guy.
Why do his posts usually get taken down?

Well, the mentors would know more than I do about that. I'm guessing a lot of them had profanity.

Not exactly. Profanity is generally filtered. I think it was the subjects of the threads and posts. I saw a number of his posts that were later taken down. The ones I remember in particular were ones where he made fun of various mentors apparently because they had deleted one or more threads/posts of his.

At the time, tribdog was trying to avoid a prison sentence, and I believe that thanks to the intervention of some pf staff it was reduced to parole.
It could be that his parole was revoked, I don't know.
He led a dangerous life.
I hope he's ok.

Last time I read this thread, he was burning his girlfriend carpet, raising a dog, eating bad cheap food, painting his door in the place he rented, and trying to translate from Spanish. Really funny guy I believe. He comes and goes I would say about every 8 months if not more...
