wow I didn't knew he died..hope he will rest in peace
but I have to say that I don't get why would riu delete the news that he died.. this site is doing some sad moves, riu should be like a community or a family not a fu@#$ business
RIP pony you were awesome
Yes, it should be feel like a community or family. And a good business person would cultivate that and draw people into their site. But, it is a business and right now the owners are not making anyone feel warm and fuzzy.
Shhhhhh...

his ticker went out on him...id of thought cancer would have got him first. he was probably one of the coolest guys on rui.he was loved by many and all the threads pertaining to stoned pony and his passing have been deleted. i was hoping at least one thread would still be "allowed". this is censorship at its finest it seems like...
I can see it from RIU point of view, there were too many threads about the sudden demise of Stoney. Actually, as the older members die off we may never know it or we would hear about and then we would have too many individual RIP threads.
I do agree that RIU should have given more time for the mourning process and the passing along of the information of the news of his passing. Unless they had a request from the family.
We should not forget that RIU is a business and needs to be run as such.
Edit: Gee, that sounded a little heartless. I'm sorry. We should have some way of letting other members know when someone passes.
his good friend got on riu and delivered the sad news.ponys real name was....well he went by the name hook in the real world. dont want to say his real name...that may be why the thread was closed. i was waiting on some info on his wake but thread was deleted before ponys friend could give out the info. yea its a big loss for those of us who related to his personality. with all the bs threads on this site i cant buy the reason was to unclutter the forum. i see lots of other clutter much less serious, but im not up on all that. anyways...yes sadly pony is passed on to biker heaven where im sure he was ushered into the other side by bros who passed on before him. ride on s.p. ride on!!!
RIU doesn't care about anyone on the site....
they just want the advertiser's money
I bet if we all stopped clicking the adds and stopped using the sites that advertise here we might see some changes MONEY RUNS THE WORLD
Sad to see him go. Equally sad to see the mods sweeping him under the rug.

I think part of the reason the threads were deleted was the number of knuckeheads posting very disprespectfull things.....I am raising a glass of cold certified coors light mixed with Clamato juice and smoking a fatty of some kinda kickass kush for the Stoned Pony tonight at 7:30pm EST if anyone else cares to join in.
Are people in this thread throwing insults? Shame on you people!
Peace be with you StonedPony!
I'm out - I already got an infraction today for saying the word s**t in reference to poop; not looking for another.
RIU is a privately owned website that was created as a "hobby" by someone who had some free time and free server space. over the years it has become HUGE. the owner rarely visits. he has left the site to the mods and it's members. it is NOT a business. your rumors are not helping anything.![]()
just so you know, nobody is making any money off this site. the ads barely cover the costs of running it.
