      I think I banned seven people for posting all-Banana type polls once that group - Iain, GP, Stefu and four others did nine threads with banana polls in the course of a few minutes. The mass banning (although five were only for a day and two for three days) became known as Bananagate, and pretty much guaranteed every poll in the OT since then has a banana option.
      Ahem! I've only been banned once from this forum, for making a joke about AH's wife.

      Personally, I've wondered why people always tend to give me too big of a role in the whole banana thingy. I didn't come up with it, though I've been using it pretty much ever since it became a convention.

        Was this different than the famous "PollGate"?

          PollGate is a later incident, I recall being here when it happened, so it was in late 2001 or onwards. I remember that people (myself included and JohnT I think) were trying to post in the polls before they got closed, and nearly got banned, but in the end only the poll starters got restricted. Those polls did also have the theme of having many identical options for "experimental purposes", but when PollGate happened banana was already a tradition.
          Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Thank you for helping us help you help us all!

            Okay. So when was BananaGate?

            I do remember PollGate, but not this other one...

              The banana thing was started by Starchild as part of the Poly Gay Conspiracy.

              And 'pollgate' is famous? I was part of that

                  Yes, but he failed, in a counter-gay coup.

                    Who needs to know what the banana thing is about. I saw that everyone else put a banana so I put them in mine.

                    After all if everyone else is doing it, do you need another reason for doing anything?

                      No. That's why the scientific method should just be accepted.

                        Everyone accepts the scientific method? Are you telling me that nutbar who kidnapped that American girl is using it.

                        Anyway, there are plenty of scientists who believe in the Christian nonsense, so it can't be working.
