You have been banned from this forum.
Please contact the webmaster or board administrator for more information.

That's all I get, looks like an IP ban.

Should I try to sign up as "Phreakzilla" from another IP?

Yes, and also Zillphreaka.

Ha! I saw this and then I looked to see who'd posted it and almost spit out my water when I saw it was you!

Don't get me wrong, I can still post over there. He just deleted that post and pretty much anything surrounding what you did.

Awww, I thought you got banned.

I'm the Golden Child of that place.

I guess, so. You should ask Byron to make you a moderator.

From what I can tell, moderating that board is nothing more than ignoring it for days at a time and then being super passive aggressive when someone says something that isn't kissing his cash cow's ass.

That and finding ways to get people to quit posting there.

about fucking time ...

I'm still there! The post was deleted.

I had a sockpuppet over there called awaketheday for awhile that got banned. Started out acting like a troll but couldn't take the crap anymore. Guess I defended the O.H. b Jihad too much.

while digging thru my botophucket account, I ran across these screen shots I took awhile back
of the "member list" Over There, with the intention of throwing (another) Ball of Stink @ Merritt
for keeping all the Freakbanned as padding ....





(sorry for the small fonts - I've always assumed Byron had a very small .... monitor ...)

anyway, this is a list of the top 90 members with the most posts @the time ....
of these, just how many are Freakbanned ? twenty or more ?

then, of course, there's still this bullshit to contend with:

member #1000 on this list (sorted by join-date) ... but you can't really say I joined the Official Corporate
Dune Forum, can you ? I mean, I registered, but I was never, ever activated ... I was pre-banned ...
[edit to add] member #1003, nuduneman, was my (second) sockpuppet Over There ... he got Freakbanned
once, but a series of clever emails to Merritt got him back on just long enough for a Blaze of Glory, followed by
another series of emails to Merritt along the lines of "Man, you one StooPID fucker, ain'tcha ?" ... sometime
after that was when Bryon experimented with IP-blocking the entire state of Texas ... [/edit]
meh.
I read thru the "Bryon is a Coward" thread in Bad Examples the other day ... brought all that bullshit back to mind
and got me mad again ... for a minute ... then I got hungry & forgot about it again ...

maybe somebody with more time, motivation and l33t 'puter skillz than I can put together a comprehensive list of
the ratio of actual members vs. the Freakbanned .... I'd like to have a solid number to throw @the pretards
down in the Amazon Basement, if & when they ever show up to piss & moan about Us Haters in the Blisterhood
of Doon pages ...

altho, I really think they've given up that Field of Contention ... they never have anybody with any staying-power,
the Amazon skirmishes are an OH Victory given, it seems .... Merritt's forum is deader than Kim Jong Il ... I guess
the Facebook is the Corporate Outlet now ... but it's as tightly censored as their forum ....

I thought about a Facebook sockpuppet, but the user-name Emerson Biggens was already taken ....

Wow, am I STILL the leading poster? That account has been banned for like three years.

There was someone with even more posts than that account a couple of years ago...

It's great to think that they drove away one of Dune's greatest fans. Well, you know what I mean.

They did away ith all of Dune's great fans.
