Oh.... about 10,000 YAGT's.... some flames, personal bashing (aparently deserved)... the ATOT Secret Santa perhaps... nothing out of the ordinary.

When were you banned and how long? I think you might have missed the whole LoKe thing and the craziness that ensued afterward.

I've never been banned and have no idea what you're talking about.

He found a flaw in Fusetalk that allowed him to become Anandtech Moderator, told the mods about the flaw, several months later he was given a vacation I believe, he realized the flaw still existed so he used it to post a thread telling how he found the flaw, told them about it, it was never fixed, etc. He did some minor but reversible damage (i.e. he said he deleted certain annoying members, but he actually only renamed them iirc). Mods flip out, tell him they've notified the Canadian authorities, etc, and generally they look pretty foolish.

Edit:

An after-effect was that when they finally got around to trying to fix the bug, everyone's cookies essentially started identifying them as someone else. So out of the blue one evening everyone was logged into someone else's account.

I think they should quietly just take down the portion of the FuseTalk website that advertises it for use by large corporations and the government, for "mission critical" applications.

Welcome back, fellow Long Time Banned Member.

/hands you Silver key to the Bannandtech Vacation Clubhouse

You get a Silver key for your month bannage. Most people only get banned for a week or two, so they get nothing. Just in case you're interested, here's the rating scale.

Silver Key = 1-2 months bannage
Gold Key = 3-6 months bannage
Platinum Key = more than 6 months

Me personally, I was banned for almost a YEAR. It was supposed to be a 3-month ban, but the Mods kinda forgot to let me out of my cage. Thanks to a certain person that will remain nameless (they know who they are...thank you again!), who notified the Mods, and they went "Oh yeah." and unbanned me.

I then became the Founder and President of the Bannandtech Vacation Club. A strange honor, I have. Aside from permabans, which don't count, I do believe I am the Longest Banned Member.

So, welcome to the club. :beer: Few others have received A Key. My friend, M4H has a Gold key, IIRC. :beer:

Oh snap! I was supposed to get a 24 hour ban, but ended up being banned for 2 weeks.

Granted, I was banned the night before I left on a 2 week vacation and I just had to ask when I got home and they unbanned me.

You know, I'm not sure he counts. TECHNICALLY, he was banned for longer than I. But I got "normally banned" for opening my fat mouth (and it won't be the last time.) He got banned...b/c of far worse things. Everyone knows his story...I don't want to bash the guy. But...when you're investigated big time by the authorities...and your posts here are a big reason why....well...you get banned. It's very strange that he's back.

To me...he's like some spectral ghost or something...he should be dead, but he isn't. So I fear him and run away when I see him.

He HAS to be the longest ban that wasn't permanent!

You have a valid point...but I talked about it a few posts up. Dennifloss has NOT received a key, FYI.
