> [@six\_personalities](#): > > Happy? 🙂 Well, maybe. It does make me wonder though: who got \*\*Fruitpie \*\* banned, you or your mate? In which case who deserves the banning, \*\*Fruitpie \*\* or **six\_personalities**? > [@Lobsang](#): > > Try again with that. And try different admins. TubaDiva, Lynn Bodini, CKDexterHaven etc… I have now tried two of the three MPSIMS mods, putting SDMB in the title. Still no response. Should I carpet bomb the lot of them? ---

Fruitpie himself got banned.Still not sure what for.So his username is dead.But if he can’t use it,I can’t either.The mods don’t know who’s using the username,so unless there’s a way to let one person use a username and not someone else,I was shtuck 🙂 ---

It’s simply _amazing_ how your writing styles are so similar. What a coincidence. ---

That’s because we all are the same person.I’m just using friends’accounts as I think I explained before… Anyway,back to the thread.If anyone wants to enter this quiz,go ahead… :smack: ---

I love a good general knowledge quiz. Trouble is, this is not really a quiz. If the thread was called _The SDMB Googling Research Ability Test_, then people would know what was what. While my googling skills are not bad, I am not that interested in testing them against others. A good \*quiz \* thread would go down well here, but I am not sure how anyone could organise it. ---

If you can find a way to ask questions that no-one can answer on Google then go ahead ---

> [@six\_personalities](#): > > That’s because we all are the same person.I’m just using friends’accounts as I think I explained before… So everything **FruitPie** ever posted was written by you? His writing style outside of this thread is identical to yours, you see. ---

Guys! Guys! You can beat horse in the water, but you can’t make it explode. Unless partial decomposition has caused the abdominal cavity to expand. Anyways… **Six** , to be on the safe side, you might want to e-mail the admins to explain evrything, AND DO SO CLEARLY. Because if we were to go by just what you’ve told us over the last couple of days, then you are risking losing your $14.95. I hope it all clears up and you get to stay as long as you want. If I were you, I’d also ask to close this thread. Start a new quiz if you want, but this ‘discussion of explanations’ will just continue to derail until it trainwrecks. I AIN’T NO MOD - TALK WITH ADMINS YOURSELF ---

OK Can we get this thread closed and I’ll restart a fresh one with the quiz with my details and my email addresses for answers? 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-sdmb-general-knowledge-quiz-interested/263475.md?page=3)
