"Then the pit of torment shall appear, and oppisite it shall be the place of rest; and the furnace of hell shall be disclosed, and opposite it
the paradise of delight. Then the Most High will say to the nations that have been raised from the dead, 'Look now, and understand whom you have
denied, who you have not served, whose commandments you have despised! Look on this side and on that; here are delight and rest, and there are
fire and torments!"

It starts with a slight fever and
dryness of the throat. When the virus penetrates the
red blood cells, the victim becomes dizzy begins to
experience an itchy rash, then the poison goes to work
on the central nervous system, severe muscle spasms
followed by the inevitable grueling. At this point,
the entire digestive system collapses accompanied by
uncontrollable flatulence.

Well, when Wduaqnug was banned, apparently for good, he got no mod edit, no email explanation, and the mods refuse to explain exactly what he did to deserve it. He was *NOT* automatically logged out, and was able to lurk, logged in. Once he got logged out (suspect it happened during the blackout last month), he couldn't log back in. He still doesn't know what he did to get permanently banned.

He should send moderator@anandtech.com an email asking for explanation.

I'm under the impression that he did that and they ignored him.

i've always wondered what happened to him. i'd love to read the thread that got him banned :D

Search for his name and look at his Cuba/Castro thread. That's where he thinks he got banned. Interestingly enough, the individual who started all the sh!t got absolutely no trouble. If you want to know how to get ahold of him, look in his profile and go to his website/forums. His email address is posted on his site.

I think you stay logged in but just cannot post. You can read PMs, but not reply to them.
