    Sir William Smith was banned, for being dumb.
    It was a tragic day, for all.

    I cant spell because I have a disability known as dyslexia, so that is why I can't spell.

    Also, this place rocks so much more than any other forum, I dunno why people would wanna be horrible on it. I hope I don't get banned.

    When I joined I never read the rules, didn't bother spelling, never bothered using grammar and I trolled a few times. I think the rules are just getting enforced more and more, don't read my PMs guys, it's got things you shouldn't see in, things useful to my plans...

    Alive-Man survived somehow, and he's worse off than most the dimwits that end up registering and get banned within a few days. They just make those god damn threads, one after another and then get banned, I haven't seen a newbie survive 3 months in a while. The mods are more focused on the older members. Frunk, DMKA, common the newbies coming in here are worse than them guys.

    I've been here for.....some time. Though I have a feeling I'll be getting a lot of backhanders from a certain 5 lettered person, with a fondness of cats and brooms.


    I think some people go onto forums just to be annoying anyway, so there's a big reason why some get banned. Though some are just annoying in general and can't help it, so they get banned through no deliberate fault of their own. No doubt some just make a mistake and get banned for it, then regret it afterwards. That would lead them to making a seond account if they really wanted a second chance, and then they might get kicked for that.

    What they don't want to tell you is that the forums are at maximum capacity, and if we have too many members it's going to set off the bomb. Hence random newbies are banned to keep the numbers down. They can't turn off the registration because that'll set it off as well. Rumour has it EoFF can't go under a hundred posts an hour either.



    "Pop quiz, hotshot. There's a bomb on a forum. Once the forum goes 50 posts an hour, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do? What do you do?"
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    Because they want to know what happened when they're banned.

    People who think there's an "After-forum" are crazy. We have NO evidence whatsoever for any such thing, yet people persist in their beliefs...

    Amen. I've joined several forums, but EoFF is the only one I regularly visit, mainly 'cause I don't have to put up with so many idiots. It's one of my favorite things about the site.

    Tell me about it, The last 2 forum's I've tried have had idiot's as the mods. One of them I didn't stay a week on.

    Generally, it's because they're dingbats.
