    This morning I saw a name I recognised in the users online bit.
    Snobothehobo.
    I thought he was banned ages ago.
    I double checked his profile and sure enough "Banished to the Void". Last post was in 2002.

    So my question is: What? Or perhaps: Why? Also: How?

    (Sorry to disappoint those who rushed in to flame me for posting Arcanum stuff in GD).

    Fixed as in re-banned?

    But don't you think it's a bit odd that someone who hasn't posted for 4 years tries to login even though he was banned?

    On the topic of banning: Do you just ban the name or the IP?

    I thought you'd banned him before, Xz... Or was it that you removed him from mod?

    I removed him from Mod. Anyway, you're a member there? Why are you not participating, the place is dying, it needs you.

    Nope, I'm not a member, I'm just a lurker. :) Or rather I was a lurker. What would you need me to do over there, what kind of hand could I give you?

    Sleep with him. Please. It'd fix a lot of things.

    Come on Mathboy, give him another chance... the kid's absolutely awesome to flame, because he can't come up with decent come backs, so after a couple threads he just gets angry and leaves. ^_^

    That was years ago so maybe he's matured a bit. 4 years makes a big difference when you are 12. Well, a big difference for most people. There are a frightening number of 12 year old 50 year olds out there and they all seem to live in my part of the internet.

    Well I did ask a few posts ago...

    I assume he hasn't been back since or he would have been gloating about his custom title.

    wait...
    you say that he has been banned for 4 years, and he returned?
    wouldn't it be simpler just to register a new account?
    or you banned his ip....?
    but still.......
    to return....

    Stop missusing ellipses. You'll go blind, and won't be able to masturbate anymore.

    i'm allowed to use ellipses whenever i want, but that's because i keep them to a maximum of three at a time, as per good grammer rules...
