He managed to go from zero to banned in a mere ninety posts, or seven days. Bravo, NBN! Is he the record? ---

I doubt it. Some sock puppets have been banned before they’ve even had the chance to post. ---

I think there was a spammer recently who got banned faster with fewer posts (I can’t find the thread cause the board’s being slow), but I don’t know if that counts. If it does, then he’s probably not the record-holder. ---

I find it ever so ironic that his last words were, “At this point I don’t care what happens to you now, assfuck!” **TubaDiva** , have I mentioned how much I worship you from afar? 😃 And yes, I’ve also seen people banned quicker than that. Esprix ---

Some have been faster and some have been slower . . . and what does it matter? The saddest part in all of this is that in the case you mentioned, it didn’t have to be that way . . . well, I guess it did because that’s the way it happened, but we did give them every chance and they just didn’t/couldn’t see it. However, there’s lotsa message boards in cyberspace and perhaps they’ll be happier in some other community. It’s like the neighborhood bar; you find the one you’re comfortable with and that’s where you hang. your humble TubaDiva Administrator ---

So pleased to be having a Post Party here in the ATMB - the happiest forum of them all. There’s mini-cornish pasties in the oven warming up, and once I’ve unfolded the trestle table I’ll put the twiglets into bowls. We’ve got Babycham, Scrumpy, Bass and Real Ale (All Beer Served Warm of course) , probably), and lots of other UK favourites. Congratulations you old pommy bastard - you really are one in a million, and you always make me laugh.

Ha! No, it isn’t Peter! Aw, yer all so sweet. **Gunslinger** - cheers. **White Lightning** - no heartwarmer I’m afraid. As I said, I missed my chance. But as at 1 August, I’ll have been registered exactly 1 year. Maybe I’ll celebrate that with a magnus opus instead. **Redboss** - you could pass as a pom suspiciously well. I think you’re faking this whole Aussie queen schtick and are really a spotty home counties nerd, stealing mummy’s Babycham when she’s not looking. I’m feeling really rather happy today. Hoorah. pan ---

Well, you’ve still got twelve posts to go before you hit 1K, so maybe you can celebrate that. [sub]…waiting another 47 years for Y2K to roll around…[/sub] ---

May I present: [the **Coldfire** appreciation thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=77707&pagenumber=3) and the Coldfire appreciation thread spin-off [Part I](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=78568) and… the Coldfire appreciation thread spin-off [Part II](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=78570) and… [Coldfire is an ass](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=78501), oops that one’s **heembo** ’s. Wait a second. Hmmm… Dammit, dammit, dammit. First of all, those ‘spin-off’ links no longer work. So I assume I got here just as the threads in question were being deleted. And secondly, **GingerOfTheNorth** beat me to it in the original Coldfire thread. I’m gonna post this anyway, though, because… well, because I am.

So I assume I got here just as the threads in question were being deleted. \*\* I think our now-departed sock-puppet hits the all time record for mayfly existance: Approximately 20 minutes, and 6 posts. Sorry, **jarbabyj** , but \*_SexNazi_ is still listed as a member, while **heembo** ’s sock can’t even be searched-up, less than an hour after his first post. I think we have a winner.
