Here’s a thread with links to all the Jack Dean Tyler threads. There’s quite a lot of material there.
Here is the infamous FreakFreely meltdown.
This is the last of the fatherjohn threads, but it has links to the earlier ones of interest in a post of mine near the bottom of the first page.
This is the most amusing of the jally threads, and also has links to others.
Manny people seem to have fond memories of the early days.

Also a trained statistician.
Ok, I know no one will ever answer me, but I still have to ask. . . .
What ever happened with the Phaedybucks thing? Did Manny ever get paid? Is this a ‘taboo’ subject?
Just to add one note on all of this, for the newer crowd.
It’s not really ‘the thing to do’ do post in these old threads and make them active. Read them, enjoy them, and laugh your ass off at some of them, but please don’t dredge them up from the depths of the archives as current threads.
Oh, and another memory of fondness, the all time classic “You wanna stick that thing Where!?” :eek: , was in MPSIMS, search under Satan. 
I liked your “Banned on the Run” even better, Fenris. (Same post, sports fans. :))
No one explained this one:
That would have been FORMERAGENT.

Someone claiming to be [url"http://bb.bbboy.net/straightdope-viewthread?forum=6&thread=131"]WB has paid a visit to our temporary home.

WB is still very much around, he mostly hangs out on Una’s board, from what I’ve seen though.
Does he? He must have a different SN over there. Don’t tell me what it is, though. I likes a bit of mystery.
Has any banned member ever been allowed to return?
Just curious.
Mike Masterson was Silo for a long while. If there are any previously banned posters still posting (with permission) they are keeping very quiet about it and I can’t say that I blame them.
scotth, at least one poster was able to credibly explain what happened and was reinstated as a poster.
Many of the banned go too far out on a limb before their banning to ever credibly explain their way back.
I know of two for sure, but I don’t want to mention their names for fear of reopening old wounds.
Wow.
I’ve only just begun to read all this stuff, but wow. How do these people find out about us?
Thanks, Protesilaus, Fenris, and scotth, for posting links to this craziness. It’s good reading.
Oh, and “GOTCHA YA!” is funny even if you don’t get the reference.
I love you all so much. I won’t even tell you how long I’ve spent now following links from this thread, but I’ve laughed out loud more than once.
Og is pleased. May the blessing of Og be on your houses.
While we’re reminiscing, I’d like to nominate another looney for the hall of fame: ScOo_gUy
This person knew in his heart of hearts that The Dark Side of the Moon was intentionally produced as the soundtrack to The Wizard of Oz and proved most resilient in his resistance to rational argument.
His flames were crude and pathetic, but he was a genius at evading sane debate. Valiant dopers would construct an airtight case of logic and facts and ScOo_gUy would escape like a demented Houdini, back to his alternate reality where every connection his fertile imagniation invented was attributed to a conspiracy in the real world.
Not even Og could have beaten a clue into dear ScOo_gUy.
And, to veer this hijack back slightly in the direction of the OP, he was never banned. He can come back and reprise his one-note symphony or defend himself.
Nothing will ever beat “GOTCHA YA” IMO. I laugh whenever I think of that, and then the “Would Are Eco Sytem be Ok If We Extincted Mosquitos?” thread… god, I am dying!
I can’t tell you the number, but I can tell you that I’m one of them…maybe the first even…
“They” allowed me to return after my heartfelt public apology and a promise that I’d be…more well behaved… Oh, and they made me change my name. Oh, and they deleted about 800 of my posts. Some of them might still be here and there…if you are interested, search under Contestant #3.
I’ll take whats behind door number two, if you dont mind…
Yeah…right…you want me badly and it shows.
:rolleyes:
