Here's a link to the original thread if anyone is interested.

The images no longer work so it's a good thing Starman had them backed up. Hey Starman do you have the Round 2 pic that included members like iWrite and Fat Berry?

Slick shoes?! Are you crazy?!

6) Zimphire? I say Zimph because of his Jewish signature before he got banned. But I am probably wrong.


I don't know why I find this funny, I just do...

I thought he was upset that the mods deleted a bunch of his "Nice to see you, looking forward to PM" posts.

That's quite debatable. All his posts were "Hi, Cody. Can't wait to talk to my friend". They were pretty much +1 posts.

There was the Cubeoid debacle, but I'm pretty sure he was still here a month or two after that, so I think its doubtful thats what caused it.

Not true. Don't blame it on the members.

He left after the mods deleted hundreds of +1 type posts.
I'm not a fan of deletion at all, and this case, it cost the forum one of the nicer members.

Again, debatable. What did he contribute apart from his +1 posts to Cody?

Considering how frequently I was posting at that time I'm kinda disappointed that "itistoday" didn't make the quiz, but then I realized that it would be kind of difficult to draw that...

I know his +1 posts were annoying.

I sort of understand both sides.

WDlove was nice, but sometimes also annoying.

Not enough to piss him off that badly though. Deleting all his posts, w/o even talking to him and asking first if he could cut down his +1 posts was a bad thing.
Typical MacNN mod kneejerk reaction.

agreed. I saved mine because I'm ****ing vain like that. My description of myself was pretty brief, but I think he pretty well nailed it. In terms of a caricature anyway:
