First post back on my semi triumphant-semi return

Dump them. They serve no real purpose anymore. They never truly did in the first place. Yea blah blah blah ban idiots blah blah blah but it never really did any good. Because those same idiots that got AP banned just turned around and created new accounts. If I had a nickel for everytime I was on IRC or some such and a fellow member came into the channel ranting about some newbie and then the next thing you know said newbie had been nuked off the board in one post, I would be rich. And I freely admit that I was one of the ones to help with the nuking if needed. I used to pack a fairly healthy punch due to the way the algorithm worked. Not a very large number of posts combined with a fairly large amount of greenies equaled a pretty good smacking. It was broken at its best and I have seen to many of these threads since I joined.

// and by the way, what in the world happened to my band of butler monkeys to help me carry all of my greenies?
