Trolls R Us Resurrections

It was for the Greater Good.

There is no Greater Good here. Only Zuul.

That was exactly my same thought! :laughing:

Can I of a new troll to make fun of?

What, no one did this one yet?

-snickers-

But anyway, dammit for sleeping through the popcorn worthy event!

And I join the mini-pitting for @Smapti (didn’t we just have this happen a week ago?) and a gentle finger waving at @What_Exit although I’ve done far more bone-headed things IRL. So don’t give yourselves a hard time.

Same here. Very confusing, until I saw the explanation. Not nearly as exciting as Marley banning the entire board, though! :smile:

I’m sure all the mods thank Marley for setting such a high bar for making a truly egregious mistake. :beer:

Seems we have somebody pretending to be Manny Peoples.

Here’s the real one.

Note the absence of the idiosyncratic “Manny”.

The first one is cornfielded already. Fast work.

2 flagged it fast and @Aspenglow closed it quick.

I did a quick check and it was an obvious sock or at least pretending to be sock.

I use that for merging threads. It’s pretty common to get two essentially identical breaking news threads. I like that button, would be very unhappy if it weren’t there.

Ah. That might explain why this morning discourse claimed that I had over four thousand unread posts in this thread, and inserted me somewhere around post #7.

I was going to say I didn’t get any notifications, but what I apparently didn’t get was any notification that I had new notifications. When I looked at my notifications anyway, there are two of them in there about this thread moving.

I appear to have missed the troll entirely. Fine by me!

How meta.

If I may direct your attention to the mod note literally two posts before this one:

My bad, guys. In my defense, I was very tired last night.

Won’t happen again.

There’s a way of posting the URL without it making a link, but I don’t recall what it is - maybe using the " ` " key or backslash key or something. Does anyone remember?

When I saw I had over 4000 unread messages, I thought something really exciting had been going on. I was in near coma after celebrating last night.

I’m creating a link to the ATMB thread to demonstrate the link behavior. Whatever you do, don’t pay any attention to this post.

Me, three (or more)
