The only ones I recall getting banned would be Arcaeus and Darkes, but I don't remember exactly what they did/wrote. :P

I'm not sure if this counts, but on my other forum, our admin went crazy and started banning random members for no particular reason. Then one member got into contact with the original admin who designed the site (and does a lot of stuff for Division 13), and he immediately banned the old admin and cleaned up the forum, since it needed a lot of upgrading. I was made moderator a few months later.
:tup :tup

Was he like a dumb teenager or something? That's sort of like what happened at the place I was talking about. Kids running forums!

You think he would be, but he was actually some unemployed 40-something :lol Well, it was during the year that he got laid off, so it's almost like he took all his frustration out on the forum :P

Most of our mods are teens (I'm 18, almost 19), and they do a pretty good job. Our admin is the creative director (I don't know if he's THE creator director, but certainly one of them) of Division 13, so that's pretty cool. It's a funny situation of retaliation. I always thought the old admin was an odd choice, since he was usually very bitter and unpleasant to be around, and very resistant to any forum suggestions.

Sounds like your other forum was MP.com...

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

If I recall correctly, he posted a picture of a giant penis and suggested that a certain forum admin would....enjoy it.

This was always my favorite: https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=5033.msg151242#msg151242

I could never figure that guy out.  Spammed the place with his bad photography and ugly models.  Got banned.  Came back with a different account and spammed the place with his bad photography and ugly models.  Rinse and repeat.  IIRC, every time he did it, people had no problem telling him how ugly the models were, because they so bad, but he defended his work relentlessly and insisted that they were great because they were professional models.

Everyone has different taste, and none of that would have been so bad if he hadn't also gotten seriously offended and defensive every time.  Started talking shit, calling people out, and damn, anyone with half a brain would've just stopped doing it.  But he kept doing it.  I guess somewhere in there we were also supposed to be impressed by his photography, which was mediocre at best, and seemed to specialize in ugly models.

Part of it depends on the presentation, too. If 211269 had showed us his photos with the models and just said something like "Hey, guys, I'm a photographer just starting out. What do you think of this? Feedback is welcome." He would have gotten a lot more comments like, "Not bad, keep at it! The girls aren't bad looking either!"

Instead, he put up the pictures like "Look at the fucking awesome photograph with the hottest chick in the world on it!" People are a lot more harsh and less receptive to you when you have that attitude.

Hmmm, it's intriguing how people suddenly remember that they have an account on a certain forum they don't give a crap about and decide to spam to death.

Nope, House of Jigsaw. It's the largest Saw forum on the web. Or it was. The forum's dying out now that the series is over, but we all pretty much expected that.

Yes. You're so unbelievably awesome.

Yeah, it comes with the territory. Though admittedly, I was like a year or two late for LUE. I went to PotD, but LUE was legendary enough that it was still talked about. And the occasional LUEshie was still posted.

This post makes me curious. What happened?
I was friends with one of the mods (won't say who) so I had him advise me when there were none online. I started posting all the celebrity nudes I could find, then upgraded to stuff like midget porn, tentacle porn (an actual photo of a girl and an octopus...) and a French girl inserting a banana into her... yeah. Among other things. Since there were no mods, the thread was open for probably a few hours.

To be honest, I've changed a lot since then, so I kind of facepalm when I think about the immaturity of it all. But oh well, at least it provided good memories.

Yeah. I've since apologized to Itchy, as much as I can't stand the guy, because it was disrespectful to plaster that shit all over his and DT's board.

Edit: dtismajesty - Yeah. I came back a few times under various names before the plug was pulled on dt.net. I remember at one point, I registered as Superman and my friend registered as Batman, and we'd occasionally get into it on the forum. :lol

Japanese crazy fetish porn is fucked up. There was a link on another forum I visit. It was pretty hilarious. Apparently filling panty hose with frogs (while wearing them) is sexually arousing?
