Help me wreak havoc for 15 minutes on another forum
Ok, so here's the story: There is another forum that I used to visit daily, it is a computer forum and I think it has like 130,000 members, so it is big too. I was trying to sell my video card there, and I had like 5 people PMing me about it.
Then I had a game I wanted to play, but every time I had to put the CD in. So I made a thread asking how I could play the game without putting the CD in. One of the mods said it was piracy, and banned me for 2 weeks.
A couple of days ago I was bored, so I made a new account there and started posting as many threads as I could. They banned me after about 10 minutes, but by that time I had a whole page full of new threads.

Now the ban on my old account should have been lifted today, but it's not.

Sooooo, now I need some help from you guys. They have 18 different forum groups, like PBnation has ST, Newb forum, PB talk, stuff like that. So I need as many people as possible to register at http://forums.anandtech.com. Then we need to set a time, and then everyone needs to pick a place to post, and post there as many times as possible.
We need to do this at the same time, because normally there is a mod always on. So they will find out within 5-10 minutes what is going on.

Anyone game?

Are you saying that by posting over at Anandtech, the mods will know we are from PBN? Because they won't.

Can you say "IP Ban"? Jeez, what an idiot. Hope he's banned from the other forums as well.
 
YEP...I may go overboard from time to time with what i say about people on the forums and I take my punishment like a man but these people who are obviously children who are unsupervised who get bored and spam away should really be permanently banned.......
It gets old having to deal with spammers who contribute little if anything to the well being of these forums!!
