You get a real life?

Well, almost. You get an opportunity for one, I understand the success rate is low

But somebody has made it? Hmm... interesting. This might be my chance!

i thought banning was forever. i got sent on vacation but was given an email. my question is (with all these sigs)
i thought Happy Puppy, et al. were just sent away for like a month?
whats the big deal...let them serve out their month and return, right?

Because they were given a full month off for offenses that barely justified a banning (esp. considering much worse has been said up here by others).

That's your opinion, not ours
Do not keep pushing the matter

I got something like that once. I kept on trying to log in but failed each time. At first I thought I was banned because of a thread I made which somehow disappeared from ATOT (could never find it again). I tried so many passwords and they all failed, then finally hit the right one and was logged in. Never want to go through that again.

I used to just have a cookie set, now I log in each time to avoid forgetting the pswd.

far too many people in this thread seem to know what happens when you're banned....
