I was looking at some of the very earliest threads and started noticing how many names had been banned.

Is their a thread in which every single poster has since been banned? If not, how close can we come to one?

Don’t you remember _what **Marley** did_?

Every thread was full of banned members. Too bad no one was around to see it.

If there is, you can call it “Banned of Brothers.”

There are certainly one-post-only threads, usually by a drive-by spammer or troll who gets immediately banned. So there’s those. You may sometimes spot such a thread if you don’t blink, before the entire thread gets disappeared.

What would be the point? So those in the group could say, “I’m with the banned?”

While we’re on the subject, I’m thinking we should put on some sort of benefit concert for those who no longer have the privelege of posting here.

Yes, it will be called “Banned Aid”.

When I read the thread title I thought it was a query about whether or not all the banned but formally prolific posters all gathered, Superfriends villain style, and plotted nefarious actions against the board.

Cuz that would be cool.
