Many of the titles are based on the names of levels in the old FPS Marathon (and its sequels). -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Just out of curiousity, when and why was TGM banned? -------------------- Who was born in a house full of pain Who was trained not to spit in the fan Who was told what to do by the man Who was broken by trained personnel Who was fitted with collar and chain Who was given a pat on the back Who was breaking away from the pack Who was only a stranger at home Who was ground down in the end Who was found dead on the phone Who was dragged down by the stone Posts: 595 | Registered: Tuesday, March 12 2002 08:00 |

I'd like to know as well... I remember at some point I realized I hadn't seen him post in a while, then I looked up his old posts and saw that all of his accounts were banned. -------------------- 5.0.1.0.0.0.0.1.0... Posts: 508 | Registered: Thursday, May 29 2003 07:00 |

What's the difference between 'Canned' and 'Banned'? Posts: 587 | Registered: Tuesday, April 1 2003 08:00 |

Canned is a sort of reprimand for consistently bad behavior that doesn't quite merit banning. It's basically just a custom title and has no effect on its possessor's ability to post. However, when a member is Banned, he is no longer allowed to post on the boards at all until administrators reinstate him, which may never happen in the case of certain truly egregious offenders. And I'm also curious as to why my beloved has been banned. :( [ Tuesday, March 08, 2005 12:12: Message edited by: This Glass Is Half Stugie ] -------------------- Stughalf "Delusion arises from anger.

quote:No, I used the original comma-separated file to generate a table that included only people with titles other than "Apprentice" to "Your Postliness", from the same tool that made the other list. In fact, since there was already such a check in place (which made custom titles bold) there was little left to do.

For what it's worth, I started changing my PDN daily before Gizmo joined. —Alorael, who agrees with Aran about fair use and reciprocal arrangements. Please stand still while your infraction is processed and targeted. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Vladimir Scorpius is the legendary member #8, known variously as Dr. Scorpius or just, endearingly, Scorp. He is quite the character even among oldbies, and because I joined about a month or two before he left, I can't really say much. Once a moderator of the Miscellaneous forum, until... but that's a different story. He has left the building, that is, the forum, quite some time ago, in Summer 2003. If I remember correctly, he made his exit by posting a goatse thread misleadingly titled "Nephils vs. Sliths" (no, not *that* Nephils vs. Sliths topic), and was banned. But I'm not sure. And you have almost certainly met TGM, seeing as he has been posting here for years until January. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

You forgot the :P . I saw Alorael's infraction as well and posted more to mock his adament 'copywright' on his sig but flippant disregard for other people's brainchild. Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery is it not? I am in reality honored to be immitated by the likes of you. (Oh, OK. Alo too.) -------------------- Forever Always on Past the End tracihedlund@charter.net[/url] TrueSite for Blades - Blades Walkthroughs Pixle Profusion - BoE Graphics Archive Posts: 563 | Registered: Tuesday, July 27 2004 07:00 |

I did it using the find function, but the smaller list would have indeed been helpful. Scorpius is not banned. He asked for his title to be set to that when he quit the forums. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |
