AJHY is no longer with us as a Doper, it seems. There’s a GQ thread he started with the word BANNED under his user name. Given that many of his posts have evaporated, we can only assume he was a sock/troll. Be nice if in ATMB there was a locked sticky updated with who got banned and a brief why, like BA does on his board.

I’ve floated that idea before. The Mods won’t consider it – they want the banned to be anonymous lest there be competition for getting added to the list. Same reason their threads go down the memory hole.
