. Why do you do that Lefty?

. If the question is about Dan Rather & Kenneth, its a reference to the infamous mugging (real or made up?) the CBS's anchor's life. What his mugger is supposed to have said is "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?"

. If the question is about Dan Rather & Leonard, its a reference to the infamous mugging (real or made up?) the CBS's anchor life. Since I was doing it from memory its possible than "Leonard" is the wrong name. What his mugger is supposed to have said is "What's the code, Leonard?"

"Who is Dan Rather?"
Ah young one in the old days, before the coming of Ming before the dark times, there was an infestation of spammy DL news casters lead by Dan Rather (who was the famed UBB bug History049). In the thread that announced the banning of Dan Rather I posted a short innoculous post ("I don't see what this will accomplish") as Dan Rather(ten spaces) (you could do that then) and got banned for having a DL.

I was banned on Black Sunday (actually posted on Friday IIRC) or whatever you call it.

I totally deserved it.

[Provost Harrison]

Actually lefty I mean why do you put a dot and a space before every sentence?

[connorkimbro]

I was banned on black saturday for, iirc, 34 days. might have been longer than that.

i definatly got the longest banning though.

OH, i also got an 800+ post count reduction for that.

. Not before each sentance, before each paragraph as the easiest method of indenting in this script, which would otherwise compress the space a the start of line if not preceded by a charactor.

twenty spaces before this line

Stop your spamming or I will!



(Please dont ban me)

[DarkCloud]

Out of curiosity- what were the three banning exoduses, and when were they?

Black Saturday
Spamgate (November)

[The Mad Viking]

ARgh!

What are the specifics of Horsie's latest banning?

Is there a thread?

[DarkCloud]

Horse claims he has left Apolyton for good- ask Hydey about it...

Updated list.

[Lefty Scaevola]

. Horse, over at ACOL, did not say gone for good, only for now. Its possible Hydey has misinterpretted. I saw his posts as -I have enjoyed as much as I can stand for a liitle while-. His last post in thread at ACOL said "its no big deal" and "I'm just going to chill here a while".
