Let the initiation ceremonies begin!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have been banned from TGC.

What awful crime did I commit, you ask? Actually, I'm not really sure... :/ Here's a pictorial history of my tragic travel down the long road to organized crime.

When I saw the miss-alignment yesterday, I thought it was just temporary, as someone must have been revamping the board while I was visiting. This morning when I visited it was still there, and it was also there in at 2:30, when I posted this message.

I noticed a few additional problems after I posted the first message, but it was too late to edit them in, so I reposted. Then this Danster fellow comes in and says he likes how the blue line (viewable in the first image) terminates (ug). He also tries to insult me. Not a very good attempt, I can only assume he's a newbie, and has much to learn about this whole internet thing. He must have spammed an awful lot to artificially inflate his post count like that.

I reply to his message, and I also harmlessly deflecting his poor attempt at a flame. Foolishly (that newb knee-jerk reaction, I've seen it before) he presses the attack.

Seeing that he wanted a fight, and being a bit bored, I replied to his clumsy thrusts with an artful jab at his own insecurities. Then along comes Ceel, every-watchful board owner. He spots a potential problem, and takes his wayward admin to task very handily. Makes me wonder how that Danster fellow ever got to be an admin. Ah well, every now and then a fluke gets by even the most stringent of board owners.

Now that my first thread has been closed, but noting no PM or IM or even post mentioning the problem, and how it would be fixed ASAP, I opened a new thread. This time I posted a screenshot, in case some beginning coder had stupidly gone and forgotten to test his code on more than one browser :rolleyes. Mark of a beginner, I tell you.

I can only guess that this is their poor substitute for Ahnk. He has some worthless pseudo-profound signature, though, which ruins the whole Imitation Ahnk effect.

I would post a picture of my last post in this thread, but unfortunately I didn't view the thread after I posted it. I did have the post in Word though, and it went like this (verbatim)

<blockquote><hr>o_O

I seem to get this negative reaction every time I tell a board their HTML is bad. I don't get it, who wouldn't want to have decent coding under the hood?<hr></blockquote>

About two hours after this, I visited the board again, on a different computer. I see a wonderful ezBoard greeting.

I then went to my profile, copied the URL's of the two topics I had created there, and logged out of my account. Both topics came up blank.

Ah, poor me. :( Such foul deeds for such a youngster. What will I do?

I'm also about 99% sure that I posted in a thread, saying that AIM had been up for me all day. Oddly enough, I can't find that post.

TGC aren't really picky about what they delete, from my experience. I posted once saying hello, that I was glad to see the board was still running (haha) and that the design looked good, and it was deleted as quickly as I posted it. It's potluck, I think. They have a customs-esque system, where every one in ten posts is deleted, just in case it has something they won't like in it :)

On another note, I can't believe this topic got a single 'yes' vote. I find Gaven's posts especially amusing.

Obviously you chose the wrong forum, Kas.

<blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>TGC - Operations & News
Report problems, read important announcements, make suggestions, Request titles, and deal with other miscellaneous communication issues.<hr></blockquote>

Of course, doing most of those things is more or less the same as asking Ceel to ban you. But at least you went through the right channels!

I was gonna say exactly what Vonta said... Danster's definitely not a newb... he's been around as long as anyone... that's the scary thing...

TGC is @#%$ up... are you SURPRISED that you got banned? I got banned for who knows what... Ceel is just an idiot...

Newb doesn't n ecessarily mean any specific period of time, it's more of a state of mind.



Like being retarded. ;)

Funny funny @#%$.

Hey Ceel? I know you're reading this because you seem to hang around here like a bad smell.

"Go spread your cheer somewhere else, retard."

<blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Newb doesn't mean any specific period of time, it's a state of mind.<hr></blockquote>

Actually it does indicate a specific time period... newbies do stupid things because they're new... newbies... Danster however is just an idiot... or like you said... "retard"... either one will suffice
