Evil Nazi Groundhogs

Is Scylla’s classic thread about the eternal battle between Man and Groundhog lost for good? Part of the Winter of our Missed Content? I couldn’t find it using the advanced search function.

How to kill evil Nazi Groundhogs
The OP is only showing a “guest” title with no username.

And a sequel.

OMG, that long ago? I feel old.

Why is it that some users lose their handle and others don’t before a certain date?

I got this from ** “Wiki - How to Do Anything”**

The number one way to deal with groundhogs is (drum roll):

1. Make your yard less attractive to groundhogs. The best way to deal with groundhogs is to be proactive, and keep them from making their home in your garden to begin with. If you already have a groundhog problem, come back to this section when you have gotten rid of them to help keep your property groundhog-free.

It’s kind of like rape. It’s YOUR fault! If you have a sexy/attractive/lush garden, you’re “asking for it”! LOL

Recurrent question. My most comprehensive answer here.

And an excellent answer it is. Thanks for pointing me to it, AHunter3.

Keep it down–this could end up being a sequel to Kevin Smith’s “Yoga Hosers.”

Here’s another interesting board phenomenon, which I just noticed in [thread=189015]this thread[/thread]: starting with post 36, a (I believe now banned) poster appears, but without a link to their profile, as if their profile has been deleted. It’s an old thread, but still much more recent than the move to vBulletin.

Interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. It’s not even the same typeface. I mean I guess it’s the same font, but not the same point size.

Aha, a batch of code has been removed from around his name. (Manually? No idea… as I said, I’ve never seen this before with other banned users)

** examines page source **

most screen names are encoded like this:

[noparse]<div id=“postmenu_3533085”>

				<a class="bigusername" href="member.php?u=7761">eponymous</a>
				<img class="inlineimg" src="images/statusicon/user_offline.gif" alt="eponymous is offline" border="0" />
				<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("postmenu_3533085", true); </script>
				
			</div>[/noparse]

Collounsbury’s is done like this, in the referenced post:

[noparse]
<div id=“postmenu_3533223”>

				Collounsbury
				
			</div>[/noparse]

I cannot find posts by Collounsbury using the board’s search function, so I assume their profile has indeed been deleted for some reason.
