Title: Someone update me please
Post by: Rinku on August 08, 2008, 12:13:36 PM
Yeah so I've been gone for a really really long long time. Not that anyone noticed, though, so what's the big deal right  :)  ;)  ???  :(

Well anyway I'm not about to go snooping around reading all the topics I missed, so would someone be a doll and catch me up on anything worth mentioning that happened when I was off sulking for a few months in self inflicted solitude?

I heard about that SandCast, but if I could get more details on that it would be awesome.

Yes, we're making a ZU Podcast, Tacheon is now a mod, JDog and Happytime Harley are banned, Valley of the Deluge was a fake, and Darth Vader is Luke's father.

Nicole Kidman is a ghost, and the rosebud is the sled! :P

And yes. All of the above, and there's also Zelda Re:, which should be up by now... :'(

EDIT: And it is! Thanks, KP! :D

Also, the forums saw a major upgrade, and around 14,000 spambots were deleted.

We've just slain an evil tentacle moose, Shika groped my character, and we're on our way to fight a necromancer with 18 apostrophes in his name.

Didja bring the funions and 20 sided dice?

...thanks.  ;)

JDog got banned? Why?

Yay for the death of spambots...

Jackel and Gamefreak... saw it coming...

Shika... just... no. And I don't like funions.

Forum upgrade: I noticed. But I'm kinda annoyed with the moving banner at the top of the page. It slows up my iTunes.

Dr Rabies died? Break out the champagne and lets have a party- Wait, he was rezzed? ...when I find out who KP is....  8)

On a more important note, Bernie Mac died  :(

KP is Kamakaziplumber, the webmaster of the site.  Jdog got banned for swearing, calling tacheon a swear word... He even tried to come back and made a topic on this board, begging for us to take him back. Pathetic.

Yep, that swearing violation was JDog's third warning. Sad as it is that he's gone, it was really only a matter of time before he finally slipped up. HappytimeHarley was banned for trolling, if I remember properly. Something like that. We also had two more bans: Someone named Quater and one of his pals came to the forum after Zelda Veteran had a discussion with him over AIM. They (Quater and his pal, that is) were both banned for trolling.

You can read about the whole spambot deletion in the "The upgraded forums seem to be doing a good job at keeping bots away!" topic in General Discussion. Deleting those bots really cleaned up the forums and made it faster for a while (that is, until the new banner came along, which brought it back down to normal speed).

According to the Warnings Archive, he got banned for linking to shocking pictures and for spamming.

Oh, that's right... Must have had a memory error there for a moment. How could I have forgotten about that? I think I remember there was talk of banning him outright even though he didn't have enough warnings...
Title: Re: Someone update me please
Post by: MagmarFire on August 11, 2008, 03:29:24 PM
There was, but it didn't matter; he got his third warning before he could be banned for his second.

Seems like I missed out on all the good drama, eh?  ;) Well... school starts next Monday... so my saying 'well I'll be back for good now' could be a lie.

Any band geeks here who can angst about band camp with me?  :(

Now there's some band geek humor.

But I play the trumpet.  Halftime soloist for the past two years.
