> [@Beaver Cleaver](#): > > **Care to explain where the edit button is then? Hmm?** It’s been removed. We had problems with people who wanted to make outrageous claims and threats, then delete them to pretend they had never posted them. Rather than an Edit, this board encourages the use of Preview so that you take the time to think about what you post and review it before you flood the board with errors. ---

> [@Beaver Cleaver](#): > > Obvoiusly I meant to say they don’t give out the Hall of Fame banner to JUST anybody, Batman! Just cause I’m curious: who are “they”? And what did you ever do to earn the Hall of Fame banner? Wait, scratch that, we don’t care. If you want to gain our respect, you have to earn it - by following our rules and our guidelines. That sound like something you want to do? Sounds good. You don’t want to do that? Please, leave. We don’t WANT your $15 then. ---

Heh heh heh…I like this guy. Can I keep him? I’d put him on top of my monitor with my beanbag froggie and call him my little Desktop Napoleon. Guys, he’s funnin’ us. He’s nailing every single complaint ever made about limitations on board capabilities, and he’s doing it _right after the servers were upgraded._ Hmmmmm… ---

There’s no rule against coming onto the board under a new name approved by the admins, nor any rule against greeting such old-timers when they arrive. Heck, I got a whole thread when I changed my username. ---

OK. I now see that this was simply a general attempt at board disruption. Over at the other site, one poster already noted that he was shut down and banned before the Beav came over to pretend he was interested in joining, here. **Disintegration** is a poster known there as NeoMonk who has announced his intention to join in the “raid.” Basically, the other board is a place for kids to hang out and exchange insults, which is fine, but they’ve got a couple of loose cannons who like to trash other people’s property. ---

I did find this line from the other site amusing, referring to our “hall of fame” interloper: > [@](#): > > I see Beav’s gone over there, too… > > What a fucking gimp…He’s not “raiding” anything - he’s just being his usual idiot self… Some hall of fame guy! ---
