Yeah, with back to back sales the product has to get more desirable over time otherwise everybody just blows their wad on the first one.

It's not all bad news though, he just needs a bit of a rest before they milk him again that's all.

What I mean is that perma toxxes shouldn't be a thing in the first place, at least not group perma toxxes, at least not thousands of people, jesus. Just seems incredibly stupid to cut off such a big part of the community forever with no chance of return. It's not like there are dozens of millions of goons.

e: and yes, I'd say the same if it were thousands of trumpers getting permabanned over a dumb bet.

This is true too, but it's always disappointing to lose good posters to something like that. Because there were so many maybe they assumed it more of a joke or something. I don't know.

It is what it is though, I hope he comes back. :)

That's good for you yanks, I mean it's done you are already starting to think how you are going to deal with it. This side of the pond we've dealt with Brexit, now Trump/NATO concerns, there's probably President Le Pen sometime during the next decade if not right away, maybe a cascade of other nationalist governments, the Russians are bound to get more frisky, Erdogan is turning into Putin 1.5 and who knows when Daesh will strike next.

Ah, OK then. I think my blood pressure must have spiked when I looked at the pages and pages ban list.

It's their own fault. Everyone knows what they are getting into if they toxx, and perma-toxx is their own choice on top of that. You gain nothing by getting your toxx right, except smug self-satisfaction, and lose your account if you are wrong. It's just a bad bet that nobody should take. They've even been given a reasonable way out, so, any fault is only on themselves.

I'd like to see A Neurotic Jew back myself, and I hope he does come back, but he's the one who chose this.

Be that as it may the forums would still be a poorer place if we had permanently lost hundreds/thousands of goons to a stupid bet. Case in point: NJ.

I dunno

He posted his donation to RAINN. He'll probably just have to contact a mod to fix things up. If I understand correctly, making the donation will reduce a perma-ban to a normal ban, and reduce a normal ban to a (I think) 72 hour probation. The specific advantage of trading the normal ban for a probation is you don't lose your various account upgrades, avatar, platinum, archives, no-ads, which are all lost upon banning. A Neurotic Jew went out of his way to specifically perma-toxx, so, oops.

But if we were again in the 20th we would be in the middle of the first, with more bad things to come along the century. And brexit is good for UE, just bad for english people. Now we just have to attach big motors to their island and push it to the other side of atlantic, where it belongs as a 51th state.
