Jesus took 3 days to respawn, talk about lag.

Just out of pure curiosity? I haven't been around for very long, and I'm interested to know.

Are you serious? You really think this was documented and remembered by the few members that were here then to determine some of the old ones.

We aren't here to ruin your experience (Well Qbix is).

If anything those Cena posts down at the flood.

Though I'm pretty sure I'm dead wrong.

Probably Cena and all the -blam!-s he inspired only because it's been going on for months.

Cena... god damn you and your militaristic physique coupled with an insatiable need to spam.

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

Only because the "old days" didn't have the thread creation throttle.

It could get bad. REALLY bad.

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

Can't say. Generally when I see a lot of spam I simply back out of the forum and go somewhere else.

I would guess it might be the pegboy incident.

Thus the reign of Watermelon King brought a new era to Bnet- the era of the Spam Filter.

Mods used to delete threads all the time, so it's hard ot say. Watermelon King stands above what I've seen though.

I tend to do this too. The worst spam attack I was around for was "Porch Day", but I don't think that was too bad compared to some things from the past.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

Well, I wasn't here for porch day, but I've seen the pictures. I do remember when users found out how to post pictures. :|

I believe he created about 3 pages full of "Shishka is pegboy" threads.

And he didn't like chalupas...

"Porch day" was the worst that I have seen. That was pretty bad.

It's always fun to reminisce about the spam attack shenanigans though!

The one that I remember the clearest was the ex gf referal link spam. That was brutal.

Chief vs the scarab? I find that hard to believe to roundhouse boot the scarab's figurative emotion out of the gaming zone.

Yes. Blue waffle. EVERYWHERE!!!

Seriously, no amount of spammed text can trump the horribleness of those pictures all over the place. That was just flat out rotten.

  • 09.16.2011 11:28 PM PDT

What was Porch Day?

  • 09.16.2011 11:44 PM PDT

I don't always ban people but when I do I laugh uncontrollably...that's if I was a Forum Ninja.

Truth is a matter of perception.

As soon as I heard that pictures had been cracked I knew what was coming so I stayed in private groups until it was fixed.
