Wasn't your post count reset after one of the early boards beers as well? Cant remember if it was restored or not...

Wow! What an achievement! Boards must be one of the oldest Internet forums around.

Over 8 years here myself and it feels like yesterday when I joined.

You attempted to ban me from AH you mean. You succeed in banning me from the category, just not the main forum. Cant ban a mod from his/her own forum

Trust me, I tried banning myself from ah for spamming once.:eek: It didn't work.

I think I demodded you and banned you and put your name in the word filter.

I but loads of common words in the word filter, half the post for about an hour looked like everyone was letting off a torrent of profanity

While all that was going on I was trying to create a new user group with admin privileges and put an alt loggin in it, but couldn't get the hang of it and eventually got bored and emiled tom and told him he'd made me an admin for over a week :P

The good ol' days.
That sort of carry on would make headline news these days.

I dont remember getting demoded that time :eek: ... Maybe I'm just getting old

[edit] never mind I do remember that now that I think about it, it was wierd because I was still flagged as mod and retained mod forum access...

Wow it's been 15 years already... I'm really thankful boards is still around, it's my goto website and keeps me entertained in work each day.

Looking at my join date (02-02-2002 nice eh!) I noticed that I missed my 11th year anniversery

I think there was some goofing around all right, but I don't remember the details clearly. the above is about accurate (some posts don't count towards post count, e.g. The Cuckoo's Nest, but I don't have many posts there.

I think it was SMAK who had a negative post count and someone else's post count dropped for every post they made.
