A certain member got hold of the login credentials of the moderator accounts and created a lot of confusion. I think he was linked to the hacking incident too when everybody had random user names.

I remember the name of this member and I'm sure many of us still have pics from this.

A sampling of CRAMITPAL's classic word usage:

"Pressedsh!t/PressedCrap" instead of Prescott
"Itanic" instead of Itanium
"Satan Clara" instead of Santa Clara
"Microsucks" instead of Microsoft

This guy was major troll, but he was hilarious :laugh:

That was a classic. But nothing here or on any other forum board will ever trump Dennil. That just superseded anything on the net. Anandtech became known worldwide because of it too.

you WHERE that one...never make light of what you did to this community...we haven't...you violated our trust in you and took a giant sh!t on your so called 'friends' I stood up for you then, I won't make the same mistake twice.


I agree with narzy. I was never here for that, but from what i read on that article it was pretty terrible. How is he unbanned?

I was here too!

But unlike most I hold no ill will to him, he made a mistake but has comtributed more to these forums than most. He stood up and said he was wrong, That males him bigger than most on these forums, but I also know him as a TeAmmate and I have seen his skills in photoshop. I am not asking you nor trying to convince you of anything :)

I am glad you returned Dennifloss it feels a bit more like home here now :)
A :beer: for you mate I know I was glad to see you posting on the TeAm site too!

Someone said mastertech , no not mastertech01, I think you meant Texmaster ROTFLMAO good times indeed

Dennilfloss created a soap opera, and successfully, I might add, on an internet forum. Too bad so many bought into it, as if it were reality. ;)
If ya all got drawn into it, to the point of emotional distress, it's your all damn faults.

Ahhh yes...Texmaster....the less humorous and slightly more right wing version of me.

Bah, I was off by a few months. Just shoot me :D

I lurked from maybe 1997-2004...

Oh, and LoKe is still my hero. What the mods refuse to acknowledge is he could have done FAR worse things such as exposing their identities, banning them, posting as them, etc. While I'm not condoning what he did I really think he should have been taken into the fold rather than kicked out. He certainly knows a lot more about security vulnerabilities than the average mod...

You're gonna get banned for saying that

I always wondered about these things.

Or what Skywalker22 is doing these days..

Jeeze.</blockquote>

I think Luvly was the one that always had a black box for a face and liked to abuse her copy of "50 Big Words To Make You Sound Important." Luvya was the one that hit the woman with his car.

We can't forget PCResources, master computer engineer that arc-welded an AMD and Intel motherboard together to form a supercomputer that performed a hundred times better than either one by itself. This was done while having sex with a supermodel on a motorcycle, of course.

He later supposedly died in Afghanistan, being a member of the Swedish Special Forces on loan to the U.S. Of course, this happened before there were any deaths among the coalition forces, and when nothing showed up on the news, even the most trusting of people began to wonder. He was using the fake account NicklasReugen to post about himself and talk about what a great sacrifice he had made in the name of freedom, et cetera.

PCResources! I was trying to remember that dude's name. hahahahaha.

I remember that time when there were these new rules published for a friendlier and more respectful/accountable environment. Then they just changed or ignored the rules so it was pretty much like before.

Didn't Luvya also make out with his cousin or something?

And don't forget DessertCart and his "high levels of smartness".
