That thread went well!

This guy hates me with a passion...I got him banned at www.hardwarecentral.com and when I moderated at www.force3d.com he was also banned. He has been banned from www.anandtech.com and he has been banned from www.straightdope.com several times under numerous aliases.
Everywhere this imbecile goes...he has about 4 or 5 aliases...he even has a few aliases that resemble my nickname.
Caesar, the only way to deal with this guy is to ban his @Home IP at the firewall.
If you want any info on him, contact me or contact the siteleader at www.hardwarecentral.com
HWC almost took legal action against him but changed their minds afer he apologized for his idiocy. I think at some point that the only way to end his ignorance will be for several sites to band together and take legal action.
This asshole has proven time and time again that he is relentless..

What's ICQ?

Back in the AOL days I had it

ICQ is an instant messaging client that was first developed and popularized by the Israeli company Mirabilis in 1996. The name ICQ derives from the English phrase "I Seek You". Ownership of ICQ passed from Mirabilis to AOL in 1998, and from AOL to Mail.Ru Group in 2010. Wikipedia

I swear I first was on this forum in 98 or 99 during the hot deals phase of the internet...but I was never in O/T until much later.

Definite proof that Mayne/Jayburner/etc. hasn't changed in 18 years. :eek::rolleyes:


Wow, I still have my ICQ UIN active after 22 years.
Are the servers still running? I thought it had died. I still know my number, but it's been years since I've logged in.

So...is the join date here kind of like claiming your ancestors came over on the Mayflower?

I remember using the site to research computer components back in 2000-2001, but I was working 12 hour days and had no time to join a forum for fun and frivolities...

Wow. You really have a way with pissing people off.

The Straight Dope is one of the most liberal boards I know of, and you managed to piss their moderators off? That's quite a feat.

Tis true! (snip picture)

You can get a banned username. All you have to do is ask and see if they will free it up. They may have changed their stance on this, but my username was on the banned list and I asked for it. The nice moderator that replied to me freed it up for use.
