    Since 2002, Never received a ban, and only 3 warnings. :D

    I wonder which poster (still here) has the most cards and bans?
    Any way of finding out?

    First time I logged on with this account was over Esat Nolimits 56k dialup on an IBM aptiva running Windows 98 that I bought for 600 Irish pounds :D

    Esat NoLimits. But as we all found out later; with limits.

    Did she have to keep re-registering after multiple banning or something?


    That's banning. Not banging. We don;t need to ask about the latter

    :-P

    Relax the donald.

    I always wonder if some of the older big posters, who don't post anymore, are still alive? Always had some great threads from these people.

    Oh, I've never had a single infractionin 16 years. I've also been a paid subscriber for years. 2 of them probably go together!

    Tom - another founder.

    30,000+ posts, but none since 2016 under this handle.

    Me, member since 2001 :-P
    DeVore has the highest postcount of pre-millennials and remains active (he posted a couple of days ago and is always around for SSF)

    For those who have joined since the turn of the millennium, Victor's postcount is way ahead in terms of continuous posting from a single account (and still active), and is bearing down on mike65 - may be another 3 or 4 years before he catches him though

    Had a different username from 2001 until 2010

    Late '99 here, didn't post much in the early 00s as I was living out of the country for a few years.


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,143 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    Another 2003 here, hard to believe it's been 15 years!

    Plenty of infractions, cards, temp-bans and one site-wide ban for a month in that time.

    Is there a new version of the top posts by poster list?


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    I remember the place was hopping my first year or so as a member.

    Began to decline around late 2011 and has never recovered imo.

    I would have loved to have been around during the mid 2000s period. I hear it was great craic back then.

    Unfortunately the members list can only sort postcounts for usernames starting with a specific letter (or numbers)

    We do have a full list within the Admin utilities, but that's not accessible by non-Admins

    Just about. You had to write out your message in ones and zeroes on paper and send it via carrier pigeon to the nearest bloke who had a tin can and a string connected to some other bloke. Said first bloke would dictate out the ones and zeroes to the second bloke via the string vibrations into a wax cylinder. They would then cycle around to your mate's house to deliver the message.
