its nothing altruistic. i'll let you guys in on a secret, i was doing all this on paid boards back on the turn of the millenium. eventually, through force of will - its possible to become effectively unbannable, for the sake of the greater good of the forum. one place was a similar deal to here, most members & all staff hated my guts, though i was able to earn a grudging respect from the site co owner, thus giving me some help from time to time, though his mrs didnt like me either
a cautionary word though, id done everything from inserting malicious redirect codes to spamming some sluts thread with abortion photos of torn up babies.. without being kicked off, and had started to think i was invulnerable. the crunch came on 11/09/01 when.. being a silly radical lefty n all - i posted a topic taking the piss, basically saying america had this coming for a long while.. well fuck me, even hardcore proto trolls came over all patriotic, asking i be banned
course, im not bitter or anythin
