I forgot about that... I don't have my avatar anymore, at least not on hand.  Thats awesome.

I'm a little nostalgic... There's something else I want to post but I want to wait a bit before I do it.

Progger, more recently known as ScottofRedemption. This was a little before my time, so I can't be much more help than that. He's around my age and a nice guy but he got banned a couple times IIRC.

I could give you the entire lowdown on this.

Back on dreamtheater.net, BEFORE the current message board, they used to have another message board.  There was one moderator active named borlag.  Anyways, I used to hang out in the dt side message board a lot, in the chat thread, and bosk, hef, and a few others were there, and thats how I met them.

ANYWAYS, someone made a thread called "Mike Portnoy.... Jewish?" and it was extremely active and went nowhere.  Then bosk posted a thread called John Myung... Asian? and I posted John Petrucci.... Guitarist?  And we kept going, and the last one was Progger... can't spell?  by bosk... with that exact thread.  And then borlag locked all the threads and zeroed our post counts.

I was there, it must have been in 2004 or 2005. I remember everybody putting a picture of a peacock (progger's avatar) in their own avatars. Progger was unable to spell correctly most of the time.

Let's just say that Scott has come a long way.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Not that I am aware of.  I brought him in ever so briefly as a mod, but he was banning people straight away for minor offenses, and when I told him he could not do that, he got angry and left in a huff.

The fact that zeroing post counts was always considered some sort of actual punishment is still baffling to me.

Some serious nostalgception going in here. An old thread revival detailing an even older event... Can't believe this thread is 4 years old. 2012 seems like a lifetime ago to me.

See it's threads like this that make me realize just how much of my life I've flushed away at this place.
