Wow, only having been on Apolyton for a year has caused me to miss quite a bit. I know about Black Sunday... but what are Area 25 and the newscaster bannings (though I think that one might be self explanatory)?

Area 25, 2-3 more bans by MtG... And I think there were a couple more by Markos. 5-9.
Everything except Area 25 was, of course, unjustified.

It's been called both... the real action took place on saturday... but the Bannings were announced on Sunday in a thread I titled "Black Sunday".Originally posted by Frogger

The newscaster was a bunch of bannings of a rash of DLs with newscaster names started by History049, now known as Bob Dornan IIRC. I posted "what will this accomplish?" as Dan Rather with ten spaces tagged onto the end (you could end names in spaces in those days which made impersonating people possible which GS took advantage of for a bit) and got banned too (gottam IPs
). Was waaaaay back in winter '99, Febuary IIRC.

I still have my logs from the old days... and we do keep a ban log in the private forumOriginally posted by MOBIUS
I wonder if the Mods keep banning and PCR stats? While my original logs are missing the really early days when I first started as a mod, they are funny to look back at

That was very impressive. I think the only value was the count down by the minute til Civ 3 was released. 6 pages of that and things less useful. then...Originally posted by Lorizael
*shakes head* First week at Apolyton. Started my own thread as soon as I got on because I was so angry that my registration took three weeks. Wasn't a mad thread, just a thread by some newbie on the Civ 3 General forum. Some princes looking for custom avatars got into it, and slowly it turned into a spamfest. I joined in.
My banning words were, "I am the SPAMINATOR!"
100% PCR, one week banning. And oddly, I cared more about the PCR than the banning then, thankfully I've changed.
followed by some other poster, then...No one can be me!
I am master of the SPAM!!!!!!
Then on page 7...I am the SPAMINATOR!!!!!
It then attempted to evolve(?) into a drinking game thread. Then MtG pounced (man, that's one nice cat for not PCRing the lot of you).I have a secret *spam* and that is that *spam* I have no *spam* life so I can *spam* just *spam* sit here all *spam* day and *spam* spam all I *spam* want.
Oh I think I *spam* already said that.
Well smammit!
I especially like how many times the spam song appears in some version of it's full length in that thread.

I got banned for a week once for posting a somewhat rude picture and for personal insults. Thankfully I haven´t had any PCR´s though

*sigh* I actually tried to slow down the thread near the end. And it wasn't entirely me. Each day I'd come home from school and my thread would have grown. And I think smammit was supposed to be spammit.Originally posted by notyoueither

Please don't bring that up again, lol, it's embarrasing. Actual quotes from that long archived thread...
