wow, after googling it, I have to say that this was well planned out. I wasnt around here during that time, but from my research of it, it was a fine joke. Probably one of the best planned things I have seen on the internet. It even exceeds a certain member in the L&R section.

I have no idea why people like you think they speak for everyone. Some sort of ego problem. I also don't find the OP to be too long.


I didn't know any of the backstory and I found this a more interesting read than any post i've read tonight. It also prompted me to read up on a saga that I had heard referenced but never knew the full story of.

Those who've been around long enough to have been involved all know. Those too young to have been involved don't need to be involved. It's like this is part of the Anandtech Primer or some such right of passage to be able to post on AT.

It's more than eight years old, people. Let it go. Good grief.

I asked perknose in a different thread. Maybe reitz will hook us up?
Unfortunately, it's been many years since I saw that set, and I couldn't tell you where I found it. Mark's Bookmarks would be my best guess, but I haven't been there in years...I don't know if the site even still exists.

I'm betting Dennilfloss still has the pictures, though :evil:

Also the point you made about this having close to the same words as a magazine side bar isn't really relative. I would read something that is two pages or 2,000 pages when it's interesting. This thread topic however did not meet that criteria.
Yet you still found it worth replying too...

Says the guy with a 2006 reg date :roll:

It is part of AT's history, and few of the newer members have any idea what happened. Dennis' 'Past Lifer' tag is unique, and a bit of history on it is always welcome.

And yes, Nik, this is my desk.

I posted in his original apology thread, noob. My old account is done.

Besides, that's just it. This is history. I was told years ago that one of the reasons the mods hadn't let Dennis back in yet was because they were afraid of additional drama and uproar about it. This isn't helping. Is he going to post another thread in 2015 too?

Shit yeah, and I'll have another new account too! But I totally agree, let history be history, and never speak of anything that happened in the past again! That makes total and complete sense, so let's go with that! :roll:

Also, aren't multiple / secondary accounts a bad thing here? :laugh: ;)

It's not a secret. In fact, Perknose himself was involved, so any insinuation you're trying to make you can shove up your ass :)

It's not so much talking about the past as it is rehashing shit that doesn't need to be rehashed. Now Dennis will probably have to deal with n00bs like you giving him a hard time over it and others who are too stubborn to let bygones be bygones start picking at old wounds. I'm not defending what he did, but I'm also not attacking him for it. Just leave it alone and move on.

This incident was the reason I came to anandtech way back in '01. I was much younger then, and a different person. Anandtech changed me for life.

Hey, I shove many things up my ass, but insinuations, especially regarding posters such as Perknose?!? I mean, just look at the name.... Perknose. Does that sound like it would slide smoothly up one's rectum? I think not!

I just think you're blowing it out of proportion.

My initial post wasn't. The conversation has degraded. My first post is what it is and I would have gladly left it at that.

...I am willing to discuss details of the matter if the mods think this thread can help people to reconciliate and move forward...
Dennis, I think anyone who needed 'reconciliation' ought to have spoken up six or seven years ago, but if you're open for discussion and people are interested, let's have at it...I'm interested, at least. And you know from our correspondence over the years that I hold no grudges.

IMAO any talk about hurt feelings is probably way out of place (it's been eight years!), but you've got an audience if there's anything you want to say. It wasn't my intention when I posted the thread (I just wanted to share my bit of the story), but maybe this is a chance to finally put some things to rest?

The drama, always the drama. I doubt this situation would occur these days as most have become rightfully skeptical of the bullshit that's posted on these forums, thanks partially to Flossies ruse. In retrospect he did us a favor, opening up our eyes to the fact that stupid forums like this in no way reflects real life and is a avenue for those sad individuals like Flossie who never get out in the real world, to live out their fantasies

Regarding Vapor, I personally apologized to him for acting like such a douchebag and invited him back to these forums. To his credit he graciously accepted my apology but decided that these forums were to juvenile for his tastes and decided not to come back.
He hangs with the headier crowd over at Ars, ironically Flossie also posts there and was active there during his exile from these forums.
