He was our first openly gay member and was banned because some people thought that he was annoying

someone said he wasnt gay 😕

To be technically correct I think he was a switch hitter

he also was fixated on black lights & body fluids & flourescent light bulbs.

I thought Jerkboy was before Dennifloss. Excuse if I sound to noobish.

jerkboy was WAAAYYYY after dennilfloss. dennilfloss was given a permanent ban BEFORE I joined AT Forums.

No...it was considerably after, as I joined in Nov. 2000 and he was still very much around, and I remember his 'confession' post quite well.
WTF? You're still around here?! :Q

I'm sure others were before this guy, but Nick Caputo probably was an early ban, permanent or otherwise.

I remember hearing of that dude. I never read any posts about him though or posts that he made.

There was a dude named Nef? :Q

where else do you think the term comes from

I think nef was the first one to be banned on the new forums.

I was banned back in march of 2000 along with several other for the great neffing of 2000.

basicly several of us had about 50 posts in OT or more. :x

Mods where not to happy about that one. 😉

If I remember correctly, Jerboy was banned for constantly starting flame wars, posting REALLY usless crap, and just generally p!ssing off the mods.

Nick Caputo is the one all trolls aspire to be, he is one of the first thieves to really make his mark on trading communities.

Oh man, does that bring back memories. Yes, he would predate GUTB, and is the earliest perma-ban I can think of.
 
When the new board went up (FuseTalk) in October of '99 there were a bunch of people who were neffing constantly... and I'll admit I'm pretty sure I did a little bit. Anyway, I'm sure that's where the first banning took place.
 
geez aquaman post enough?
especially in that canucks thread i just looked at the last 2 pages and every other post is you saying one word or a team members name.....

i rember being told of the great neffing of 2k just before i joined from a friend who was on here :0
 
I joined the Fusetalk boards in Apr 2000 (was a member way back in the UBB days) after AGN3D got closed and I seem to remember a fair few of the AGN crowd joining at a similar time and flaming AT for a bit.
I'm sure some of them must have got banned.

Also, didn't Skoorb get permabanned twice before Dennilfloss's big confession?

What did Skoorb do to get banned?
 
Ah, likely one of the first mods that went mad. The "Fallen Angel" who now reperesents the evil of this board, mo haha, mo haha. :evil:
 
Who was it that had like a gazillion posts and stopped posting once he got to a certain number of posts?

And don't forget Texmaster... He got banned for I forgot what... making threats or something...

But I swear - CADkindaguy is a spitting image of his political conservatism... 🙂

Jerboy wasn't banned for that, he got banned because he was an asshole. He used to post threads about how he purposefully drove through mudpuddles to splash water on people, or how he purposefully shared fake files on Kazaa, etc. He was an troll and an idiot.
