I was wondering this myself, so I searched a bit for why people get banned. Then I saw people getting banned for asking why people got banned, so...
Too bad he is gone, I thought his posts were interesting.

Yeah, I don't recall anything ban-worthy from him. Certainly there have been some really ridiculous and inflammatory comments from others who are still here. Could be something unrelated to comments on the forum. Usually the reason is obvious.

When the Big Boss says “stop clowning”
You,
a) clown
b) don’t clown
It’s that easy.
There are consequences.

Well, I've been here for a long time. Lurked from the very beginning when Thai and GatorGreg started this board, before finally joining. I've seen a lot of members come and go. I've even met a few members from here.
I don't know 'Jetboy', but I do know he contributed A LOT of good content.
You've been here about a year, and seem to mostly delight in stirring the pot.
Just an observation.

It’s not about me it’s about the clowning. When the Boss says “stop clowning” you stop.
On most forums, talking about another members mom, dad, sister, brother wife, kids, family or name calling gets you an insta-ban or a timeout and then a ban.

I don't know who the 'Big Boss' is, and I've never seen any warnings about 'clowning'. Maybe someone else knows.

New Power Plant.
All 4Runner Enthusiasts,
I am new in the forum but I like to read and research about old, current and future vehicles.
I think Toyota needs to look in not only a power plant but also an upgrade in the transmission. Those 28 to 32 MPG, it is not only from engine but also a developed transmission. Yes, Toyota is behind the other automakers with the five speed transmission. Instead, Toyota should develop a eight or even nine speed transmission. This will increase the MGP and performance of the SUV and mid-size truck.
Many auto magazines talk about other automakers with eight, nine and even ten speed transmission. But Toyota still building 4Runners and Tacomas with five speeds.... wake up Toyota. Your engines are indestructible but you need to improve the transmission.
my thoughts. thank you

2023 4Runner will have 2.4L 4cyl Turbo and will be last model to have gas engines offered before going electric. Straight from a Toyota Engine Engineer who is a good friend and just worked on the new Tundra.

Your good friend is wrong. The 2023 4Runner will have the current 4.0 liter V6 as the MY23 will still be 5th Gen.
MY2024 is the earliest the 6th Gen will come out and with it new engines.
