Does anyone remember Stingbee?

Nepsotic 10-09-2012 10:18 AM

The guy who made a ton of pointless threads?
"What is a mudokon flake?!"

Eww... the forums were so different back then.
Oddworld used to actually be discussed! And everyone was so... nice.
Weird.

OANST 10-09-2012 10:24 AM

At least he defends me against the very unfair treatment I get from Chuck Norris.

Nepsotic 10-09-2012 10:25 AM

In his own 12 year old way.

Disgusting isn't it? Just so twee and quaint.

Nepsotic 10-09-2012 10:40 AM

Thank god those 'kind' members aren't active anymore.

MeechMunchie 10-09-2012 01:40 PM

The members are still active. The kindness, however, is not.

Every time a new member joins, and something just seems a little off about them, we all assume it has to be MS.

Yeah, multiple sclerosis can really fuck up your typing.

Your member isn’t active at all though.

GET IT

MeechMunchie 10-09-2012 01:55 PM

No, I can't get it at all. That's the problem.

I must have been not caring enough back then... what was up with that MS?

If I recall correctly, he created another user account with an almost identical name. He objected to the infraction, claiming it was his brother but we didn't believe him. If he'd just behaved like a normal human being, the infraction points would have expired in a few months and he'd be fine. Multi accounts receive a double infraction, so he only needed one spam infraction and he got temp-banned. The temp-ban was only meant to last a week, but he created another multi during that time. That's when he was perma-banned.

Every time he comes back, he whines about how we didn't believe him about his brother. And every time he does that, we point out how the original multi-account isn't what got him banned; it was the spamming and the second multi-account.

And I think you know the rest of the story.

MA 10-11-2012 04:54 AM

he's a whiny cunt that can't take his knocks like a man. the kind of guy that fucks everything up himself but resists taking any form of blame for his own stupid, brain dead decisions. it must be everyone else's fault.

if you're reading this MS, take my advice. first, drop your bollocks and grow the fuck up. second, find something to divert your attention. women are real, you know. third, just stop acting like an angry internet nerd, because that's how you come across after all these years. it's unhealthy to have such an interest in a niche video game forum that you're fucking banned from. it's obsessive.

there's more to life than sitting in front of your computer every night, crying. please. you're in danger of becoming a really sad fuck.

STM 10-11-2012 06:42 AM

I'm probably alone in this viewpoint, but maybe he deserves one chance at becoming an actual member. If he creates an account, states that it is him instead of trying to wheedle his way in like a little shite, I'd certainly be happy to see if he has matured.

Nepsotic 10-11-2012 07:08 AM

Hasn't he tried that about ten times, though? And each time he TELLS everybody who he is and starts acting like a dick again, really proud of himself because he 'got around the system'?

Slog Bait 10-11-2012 07:10 AM

Banned members are banned for a reason.

Especially on here, it seems, where MS is the only person who ever gets banned. I can only remember maybe three other instances but can't remember the usernames in question.

They might have also been MS though now that I think of it.

Varrok 10-11-2012 07:16 AM

We're all MS, in a specific way

Manco 10-11-2012 09:36 AM

The only person I know of getting banned who wasn’t confirmed as an MS alt was Spiderman.

Nepsotic 10-11-2012 10:15 AM

What about 'sligpatrol'?

Crashpunk 10-11-2012 10:18 AM

Anyone else remember Glukkonlulu?

MeechMunchie 10-11-2012 10:28 AM

Plus Angry_Greeter and MarsMudoken.

Nepsotic 10-11-2012 10:28 AM

MarsMudoken was banned? I thought he was just annoying.

Varrok 10-11-2012 12:26 PM

I remember MarsMudoken and Spiderman... eh good times

Slog Bait 10-11-2012 05:31 PM

I wasn't here for the Spiderman shenanigans. It happened some time when I was trying to get my account back, and I saw it mentioned on the FB group.

MarsMudoken, Angry_Greeter, and Glukkonlulu I remember quite well, though.

Phylum 10-11-2012 09:37 PM

I remember all of the people on the last page before Nate banned them for discussing bans.

Every multi he's made that slipped through the net was objectionable and annoying even before he revealed himself. I'm not inclined to give him any chances.

There haven't been a huge amount. A small but significant number in the old days before I was a mod. I count three in the last two years that we've been keeping records. And in between 2006 and 2010... I can't recall anyone significant. But then, my memory for old members here is pretty shitty.

EDIT: This doesn't include spambots, of course. At last count, I've banned 89 of them in the last two months alone.

MarsMudoken was banned?

Nope. He's still a member.

Hah. Given how long ago these bannings happened (and given the context of this thread), I'm prepared to be lenient.

OANST 10-12-2012 02:03 PM

Nate, and Wil would ip ban me about once a week for about a year.

Of course, that's because I share an ip with MS, but still, it counts.

Mr. Bungle 10-12-2012 02:15 PM

That's hilarious.

Also, I suspect that Nate only kept this open so that MS could continuously see our rejection of him. I assume he visists this site every day.

Oh, Nate. You're so cruel.

Nepsotic 10-12-2012 02:20 PM

He deserves it, though.

He's kind of like overly attached girlfriend.

Not me. And I don't think Wil either. This was back in the day when Peter still bothered moderating.

enchilado 10-12-2012 08:03 PM

What, why did OANST share an IP with MS?

Slog Bait 10-12-2012 09:21 PM

Wasn't it his work IP or something and it just happened to be the exact same as MS's

Nate 10-12-2012 10:36 PM

It wasn't exactly the same. We can ban entire blocks of IP addresses; that is, if a member in the past had used IP addresses 123.213.24.100 and 123.213.58.215, we can ban everything from 123.213. Unfortunately, that risks catching out legitimate members as well.

Mr. Bungle 10-12-2012 11:16 PM

And it just so happens that our most hated user shared an IP with one of our most beloved. Conspiracy.

Also, we should probably all be banned right now, what with the whole "no speaking of banned members" rule. Come to think of it, we all should have been banned long, long ago.

Slog Bait 10-12-2012 11:18 PM

I completely forgot it was even a rule until this thread.

I'm a bad member. ):

Mr. Bungle 10-12-2012 11:21 PM

Don't worry. We're all bad. Some are just worse than others.

Which one's which?

enchilado 10-13-2012 04:14 AM

Actually, I think there are members I dislike more than MS1029.

Nepsotic 10-13-2012 08:20 AM

Like Spiderman?

OANST 10-16-2012 05:57 AM

I liked Spiderman. He was just misunderstood.

Nepsotic 10-16-2012 06:57 AM

He was a prat. He had some disorder where he physically couldn't understand why we were all dicks to him. In his mind he was the perfect forum member and we were just inferior (obviously he wouldn't use the word inferior).

Mr. Bungle 10-16-2012 12:52 PM

Pretty sure he was an aspie.
