AwayWeGo's favorite font to be banned

[SueDonJ]

Let's take a vote. Which is more annoying:

Alan's Comic Sans 3

Vacation Dude's Arial Black 7 in technicolor?

With enough votes, the thread will be pushed onto the first page of threads sorted by posts (As I said before, I'm easily amused. I'm also avoiding doing real work.)

Hey! Nobody ever told me there was a thread sorted by posts thing! Geeeze, you learn something new every day.

Alan, I like the giant smiley face but IT'S NOT SHOUTING. I need something that looks like this guy ----> :zzz: except instead of snoring IT'S SHOUTING. Preferably from a rooftop, which I think should be possible because this guy ----> has a wall.

I need a giant smiley that symbolizes Ewwwwwww.

I'm pretty sure that's illegal in seventeen states and on Sundays.

Just curious, have you thought about what your new TUG name is going to be after this username is banned? LOL

How about ace2001 ??? as it would imply a new and improved version than the year before

I see nothing wrong with the cartoon and think it is quite tame by today's standards.

That is the beauty of internet forums, you can be anyone you want to be.

Reincarnation is 100% possible on the Internet

I could be a celebrity like Brad Pit or a Susan Boyle look-alike, I could be a neighbor of yours or even a relative, I could be a timeshare salesman in disguise, I could be your boss, heck I could even be a cartoon character come to life.

If I was a hot air balloon captain or even a professional skydiving instructor, I would love to greet my guests with "Away-We-Go"

 

[AwayWeGo]

Not Always.

Reincarnation is 100% possible on the Internet

Not necessarily everywhere on the Internet.

I mean, once you're banned from TUG-BBS you're banned & you stay banned -- case closed & end of sentence.

No use trying to sign up as somebody different because the Grand Pro will catch on right away & ban you all over again.

Therefore, it behooves us all to mind our TUG-BBS Ps & Qs & not get banned.

Alan,

Who is the Grand Pro? Your link just leads to a list of other words with similar meanings and doesn't explain what you are talking about.

SWSRNL had multiple reincarnations.

 

[AwayWeGo]

You're Kidding, Right ?

Who is the Grand Pro?

Whaddya mean, who's the Grand Pro ?

I'm talking about the 1 & only TUG Chief Executive & Top Dog & Dictator & Main Man & Troop Leader & King & Archbishop & Owner & Team Captain & HOA-BOD President & Rush Chairman & Manager & Chief & Secretary-General, etc., etc., & so on & so forth right on down the line.

How can there be any doubt as to who that is ?

[AwayWeGo]

Hard To Pull The Wool Over The Eyes Of The Grand Pro, No ?

SWSRNL had multiple reincarnations.

Still got banned every time, right ?

Does this mean there was once a soap opera going on here?!?! I am shocked. I thought this was the last bastion of civility on the web.

I thought this was the last bastion of civility on the web.

It is -- now.

Oh yeah, high drama.

This is before ip addresses were checked so it's a lot easier to actually BAN someone. But she wasn't too hard to spot once she got started. Changing a username does not change a person.

With Comcast and my cable modem, I just need to unplug my modem for a day or so and when I reconnect I get a new external IP address. Presto -- there is no way a moderator could know that I was someone else before. Then there are anonymous proxies, etc. There are a bunch of ways to get a new identity.

Not that I would do any of that...

I don't get the controversy.

While I don't love it, I don't hate it either. I find script fonts hard to read and print fonts much easier.

As long as they are size 12 so I can read them!!!!

She was banned for conduct unbecoming a human being. And it got even worse when she was kicked off the other primary timeshare site.

You are extremely naive about the Internet. The security of TUG and other BBS are so weak it is not even funny. The only thing that is needed is an e-mail address (hello Google, yahoo, hotmail, etc.) and an IP address (hello wireless internet cafes).

Thus, if "Agitator Alan" gets banned for posting about cheap iphones, porno sites, or some male enhancement products and gets banned, then he can re-sign up as "Nice guy Ned" very easily as long as he has a different e-mail address and IP address and the "Grand Pro" will be left scratching his head.

I am definitely not a "she" and have no idea what this person did

Wow..thanks for the tip!
