There are people who have been banned quite a bit, and for longer. People just don't keep track. We've even had people who asked to be banned because they were a bit too literally an 'addicted member'. They wanted to be disallowed from visiting the site while studying for something, if I remember right.
And then there was the guy who I said was figuring out the AUP using the Braille system. He's still around, though infrequently, and much settled down...in every way. He was a bit of a lunatic, when younger, and that spilled over into his posting.
are you sure of that ? :D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale-throated_slothQuote:

The old internet sure was a lot of fun. Lots of good memories.
But now that politically correct leftists have taken over the internet, it's no longer fun. Amazing online personalities like Surfer4Life could not exist in today's climate. Too many snowflakes would get their precious feelings hurt.
I sure do miss the old internet. It was way better than the dumpster we have today with a bunch of politically correct idiots running around banning all who don't buy into their idiotic ideologies.

His trash talking was legendary in the Starcraft BGH community and while he received a lot of push back from the community, we all secretly enjoyed seeing him go off on somebody that rubbed him the wrong way. That post is a snapshot of history right there. A taste of what the old internet was like when epic rants like that were common place. Seeing that post again makes me miss the old days so bad!
Even Surfer's most tame posts would be insta-ban on the leftist infesting watering holes of today like Reddit and Twitter.

The people who were around when I started, tended to also be in their twenties and thirties. If they came back now, they wouldn't be so young. A bunch of them are still around, too.
Also, I remember when somebody started a non-politically correct thread...and everybody jumped on them with both feet until they finally deleted the thread after a couple pages. Back then, the OP could delete a thread by deleting the first post in the thread, and they did. So, if you think it was so different...yeah, right. Sounds like nostalgia, to me.
Niya the snowflake.
This forum did tolerate cruder language, but not cruder ideas. Heck, I got banned for making a pun that was only very slightly blue, but was in no way mean. It just made a play on the different meanings of the word bush.
