Right before all of the war posts got consolidated in to one huge OT thread he was posting every single article he could find on the net in it's own thread. This may be a slight exaggeration, but it seemed like half of the war threads were started by him. If he had not been posting so much, there probably would have been no need for a separate war-in-iraq forum.

No.

He was banned over a year ago, after some "inappropriate discussion" of the 9/11 attacks.

Grasshopper27 wasn't banned.....he's back from a vacation. Kyteland is correct.

So you're telling me that he got a "vacation" because of posting about Iraq... and not after 9/11/01 (under another name)?

well, i don't know if he got a vacation back in 01. i do know he didn't get banned (banned = forever, right?), because he's back. His last vacation was because of a rather large amount of nef posts, IIRC. just do a search for his posts and you'll see how many threads he started and got locked :)

Grasshopper missed his calling. Instead of helicopters, he would have made a perfect dirigible pilot.

I would def. say Texmaster...

hmm...one of the reasons i say that though is his political stance, but that could be anyone from Texas i guess ;)...

i would def. put my money on Texmaster though
 

Grasshopper27's former identity is no mystery. I know how torturous it is to remain in suspense, so I'll help a bit here. I too was very curious, but I solved the mystery all by myself months ago. :p

Now, go to the Skoorb thread: "Which Skoorb Is Cuter?"

Follow his three pic links. Notice a nickname there? Well, that is Grasshopper27's former identity. I would keep it confidential, except he chose to expose it through his links. Speak of irony . . . there it is. Keeping people in suspense there is unnecessary. And reminder: I uncovered it myself, so I'm not indebted. . . .

The only mystery left is why he chose to bury that identity. I mean, what's the motive? You would think he was Dennilfloss or something since he conceals his identity so strongly. However, he is not Dennilfloss or anyone listed so far. I never even knew the nick he went by 'cuz I was not there at that time. I don't see anything odd about his posts then either. So if you could help solve this mystery, it would be cool. ;) :p *An Unsolved Mysteries lover! :D*

I think you are right. Posting style seems the same. Nice pick up on the jehh in the URL. I never would have noticed that. :)

Maybe he wasn't getting enough attention before?

Yeah, I know that. BTW, Grasshopper is too original. He definately isn't Jerboy, nor he's Texmaster. BTW, I wonder why Jerboy never came back... He seemed to be so obsessed with these forums. He just isn't here anymore.

Because the mods didn't like him and were just looking for any reason possible to do so. :)

Or at least that's what I remember from the situation.

Of course he was - for posting a negative comment on Ulfwald's nursery several months ago. But if he was banned it doesn't mean he never tried to make his way back --- most ex-members do. But seems like he didn't. That is the way of Jerboy maybe.

The final straw was him doing some massively inappropriate thread-crapping in a thread Ulfwald started that had some pics of the decorating job he and his wife did on their son's nursery.



This thread.

Thanks for the info and linkage. I personally don't buy into the "mod conspiracy" theory and if he thread crapped in Ulfwald (or anyone's wife's son's nursery thread - whether they be a junior member or Elite) they deserve to be banned.

However I do miss Jerboy :(

:Q

Actually, wasn't Jerboy pretty helpful in computer threads outside of Offtopic? (as opposed to purely just an OT attention-whore)
