"pretty sure".

Meaning "no, but I feel like talking about this some more cuz I'm bored".
I posted right behind him in that thread....I'm remembering an apology being asked for. You'll have to get a mod to confirm.

And, imo, he got a raw deal. There was a concurrent "troll" thread so he posted accordingly...lost/dead cat...check the buffet or some such.


Hey, shorty, happy new year.

I didn't want to give names, but if you disagree, I'm pretty sure dennilfloss and shinerburke both had to perform some kind of apology/petition (albeit not necessarily to any particular person, whereas theflyingpig was requested to apologize directly to the dead cat guy) to return. It was part of some amnesty program.

I had to appear before a panel of mods, naked, while begging for forgiveness.

Not really but the mods did have to vote after I pled my case to Derek. And now I outlasted him :)

TFP is the destructor or worlds, king of the trolls. Mods feared him, and one alone could not contain him. So they gathered together in force and banished him to the nether realm, never to return. Or so they thought...

BudAshes on getting-owned memory lane tonight it seems. walking the steps of his old tormentor....

say, isn't it odd how so many of the old threads, which more or less survived all of the previous software turnovers and updates over the years, suddenly disappeared with this latest update? I guess that's what "making things efficient means."

Never mind that shit is as slow as its ever been, let's just erase the history of this community for "reasons to be determined later."

"Hey, boss. Don't kill it. I know exactly what it needs to give it a boost. Some of the newer social media bells and whistles. A little upvoting and downvoting, some user scoring, bigger emojis. We'll do an SEO blitz and be able to sell some more refined ad placements. I swear, if it's not making at least $200 a month by 3Q 2019, you can shut it down."

If you cant find someone, they are banned.

If you can find them they could still be on vacation or just fed up and taking a break.

Everyone knows this.

Maybe with another 90k posts you will finally come up with something interesting enough to say that people will remember who you are as well:sunglasses:

Well, I, for one, am not holding out any hopes of that ever happening.

90k posts, whoa

if each post took an average of 20 seconds, that's 20 days of life just spent posting on ATOT
