/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:

Hey cool, I'm a silver key holder 😀

Sweet! It is a pleasure to finally be a part of the Bannandtech Vacation Clubhouse!

So what are some of the member benefits? Do you receive certain privileges for being a platinum member? If so, I see another ban coming my way soon.

Itchy finger awaits or would you prefer a preemptive strike.

PS: Your track record now causes minor infractions to be amplified into longer vacations.

Member Benefits? Well, let's see...I'll rattle off a few.

1. Constantly being in the Mod's crosshair's for further bannage...always fun dodging the RPG's
2. You do get the t-shirt, so that's cool. The n00bs really admire and respect the shirt
3. The clubhouse was renovated about 5 months ago. 144" DLP projection system with XBOX and PS2 running thru it, as well as all the popular HDTV channels (porn too!)
4. We just got a popcorn machine....another nice bennie
5. The random college girls that show up looking for M4H...I just tell them "He'll be here soon" and they start taking off their clothes...I don't know and I don't CARE!
6. Valet parking - need I say more?


😀
