HB351 called me today and wished everyone on Vital a Happy New Year!
He wishes he could post here after 6 years of being clicked, but unfortunately he has no response from the ML boss. He said he has reached out numerous times.
He still trolls and is completely updated on all the teams and politics.
He sent a photo and I will share that below.
I say “Free Hillbilly”
It’s been too long since sanity was a regular viewpoint.
His last words to me was “Peace Out”!
Actually, we just got off the phone after doing the New Years howdy. 12:05 1/1/26
Anyone that wants his new phone number, contact me. He wants to reconnect with buddies from Vital.
It would be easier if the MODS would just open his posting privileges.
Love the Hillbilly…….best Moonshine ever……beer tent.
I second that! 👍
BTW, Magoofan wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, too.
Happy New Year everyone! 🥳
Free hillbilly!
Why in the world did Hillbilly get clicked
Guy didn’t like what he said.

@ML FREE HILLBILLY
Magoofan and Lungbutter too. 🤷♂️
Can’t believe that guy got clicked - really? He needs to be here!
WTF!!!! Hillbilly is not allowed on here!!??😬😲Something ain't right about that. He's one of the OG's for sure and has quite a few classic stories.
We had a good time at Lorretta's the one and only time I raced there. He was there for the chicken-fest as well as teggers. Good Times 😎
Guy was overly strict back in the day hence so many of us getting clicked. I joined in 2008 and got clicked around 2012 without any reason...I must have said something in one of the threads that he did not like.
Got clicked again by Guy around 2018 somewhere.
On my 3rd run now and I try my best to keep it tidy.
FREE HILLBILLY!
ML needs to roll out the red carpet when he invites Hillbilly back....the dude is a Vital legend and we all miss his awesome stories.
Edit - spelling fixed
Just want to add that I don't think Michael knows enough of the history of Vital to appreciate the quality of certain members who got clicked.
The were so many great contributors on Vital who are no longer and I'm sure they will come back if ML decides to reset.
Vital would certainly gain great traction with those guys coming back.
Let bygones be bygones....and it's also the New Year, 2026 is a fresh start for everyone. Why not extended that courtesy to those OGs who are sitting in the shadows?
JLaw has let himself go.
I didn’t know Lung got clicked too.
I don't think he'll be back unless he decides to return under a different name.

Yup, Lungbutter shot himself in the foot. That was hectic to read.
FREE HILLBILLY!!!
I remember all of the Free Lenny threads, but he usually earned his jail time. I can't imagine what Hillbilly could have ever said to get clicked, he was always fun loving and not controversial.
Thank goodness. D
The guyB era was rough.
Pit Row
Free BobyM.
I missed that thread …………swallow the load that created you , classic lung!
Looks comfortable...
Looks like we did a time warp to 2046 and got a picture of Phil N.
GuyB sucks
GuyBro getting replaced by ML was the best thing that has happened to Vital.
Didn’t GuyBro move out of Cali because it was too conservative and relocate to Portland? Lunatic.
I'm just glad to hear HB is still around and seems to be doing OK.
He was most certainly not deserving of a "perma-ban", especially when you look at some of the others who never even got a time out.
Wild to check in and not just create a new account. I guess I have refused to go back to bars I was 86ed from so I kind of get that principle
Hes all or nothing kind a guy ,
I can Respect that
I remember 'Newman' inviting GuyB to stay with him when work travel took him down to Texas several times, his house flooding TWICE in hurricanes, and him coming around here with only a upbeat and positive attitude. GuyB banned him till his unfortunate passing - but let "engine ice dave" fuck up EVERY SINGLE thread he posted in and threaten other members - and GuyB turned a blind eye to it every time. I'll never understand it. And, free Hillbilly please.
Happy new year!
Not sure why I still want to use "Hill jack!"
Guy B was/is rock solid! I made way too many stupid posts. Back in the beginning we all used AOL instant messenger. If you reached out to Guy first (privately) and either gave a weak explanation or told him you would try to do better . . . that's when Guy had the patience of a saint
