What just happened?
« on: October 01, 2007, 10:31:55 pm »
Okay there was this forum server error i think that made me unable to log on to the forums because it said i was banned. But I waited a few hours and it is back. The banned reason said: error- try again or something like that. What happened?

Ok I am talking to Chakra on irc right now... again he is being emo about everything so I am forced to make a decision for him. So I will just tell you the answer and let him come in later and listen to people complain:

It was a social experiment. He wanted to see if the lounge would miss some of the top posters over a few days. It only lasted a few hours though since people are good at getting pissy when being banned for an experiment they didn't know they were a part of... who'd have thunk it?

Wasn't me. He gets strange ideas like this every now and then. I am actually suppose to be one of his experiments but it went against my religious beliefs.

The outcome was that I learned I should give better bribes to One Gram so that he don't SQUEAL to Bricks about it.  >:(

And I just picked random kids that seemed boring. Don't flatter yourself Fluffy.

Well I was banned yesterday, too!
I asked my pal Eragon to come check if there's anything for me in the Sin Bin, but he said no :O
Today I enter and I'm not banned. Nice...
Thanks for choosing me for the "Happy Spam Team"

I found out about it not by gram, but from the 10 PMs I got from people saying <soandso> says they're banned, can you look into it?

Gram also told me pretty much the same thing, but that was after I already knew something was up.
