I am very tempted to ban you for use of Comic Sans

There are worse fates than a ban.

For example, it's a popular misconception that jeff&eddie has gone. But actually he was hired, and instead of being banned some users are restricted to posting on a private forum which only jeff&eddie can respond to. He is the only company they can ever have, for eternity.

I think y2ktm2 was consigned to this fate.

That doesn't sound worse than a ban, honestly... At least there's someone to talk to there.

[Giz]

Consider yourself lucky, I would have probably banned you already.
(if this was the past)

But you wouldn't have known it either. You'd get timeouts and errors and you'd just think the forums were having technical issues. We used to have a fun stealth banning system in place in the old days. Installed by none other than myself. It was great!

to clarify: the system worked off the users IP, and it would then simulate database errors, timeouts, etc, so the user was banned, but he/she thought the forums were just having issues of some sort.

we used it to get rid of popular users who were trouble makers (who deserved a ban) this way their 'following' didn't rebel because technically they didn't know. Clever eh? Oh we were all about the clever and fun back then.

I miss those days, I really do lol.

Lmao, that's awesome!
