Hmm... Since the mod history thing started and what I can remember... 1 permaban, 2 or 3 other accounts banned, 2 more bans for getfiscal, 1 or 2 hellbans, 1 FYAD-only and 7 probations. And back when such things were popular for god know's why, a lot of dumb fighting going on in the custom title. Fortunately people liked looking at Audrey so much that I didn't sink much money into all of that.

Strangely I tend to be banned for something totally innocuous, usually a simple throwaway joke taken out of context. I think I stand out as the kind of person that should be banned, because of the dumb jokes I tend to make. So usually after a few jokes the antennas go up and I get clipped for pretty much anything. But good times, it is just an amicable disagreement over what kind of moderation is productive. And maybe whether GBS is at its best with "kill her and then yourself" trainwrecks or with pages of vapid E/N threads. I don't understand why people who would get seriously angry about it keep coming back.

Back on topic. I just miss the old threads that used to engage you for days. And the discussions were so well thought out, and the grammar and all that poo poo was mandatory so people really did proof read before posting. Or they'd be called out for being retarded.

This was, keep in mind, people from the first generation (by modern definition) Internet. Those people were nerds, geeks, incredibly smart, or social outcasts. The discussions were mainly scientific, logical, interesting, intellectual, or hilarious because people are making GBS threads their pants. Or sCary tells about his day at the coffee shop. It was a great time to be online because the riff raff weren't there, but later joined as "AOLers". These communities propped up and we had an outlet to hate on idiots, continue our discussions, and read about more hideous beasts talking about their sex life (Pele).

So basically what I'm saying is, it was a cooler Internet. Then Friendster, HotOrNot, Google, MySpace, and Twitter happened and it all kinda led to where we are today. It attracted a lot of trash. Then millennials. So trash, like I said. And then Facebook made it explode and now we even have our grandmas sending us silly poo poo.
