Don’t worry it happens to all of us, I had to check the computer’s clock before correcting you in fact.

Oh, **Marleygate** for sure.

I ain’t a-gonna ban … my board no more. 😛

Given the amount of flooding going on right not, that may be apropos. No, wait, the levies aren’t dry.

Oh, thanks so much. Got an earworm from that one, which resolved itself into song lyrics that may be appropriate for the circumstances:

“A Marley Can Ban,” with apologies to Don McLean

\*A long long time ago,  
I can still remember when the MB used to make me smile.  
And I clicked each and every link  
Some made me laugh; some made me think–  
And they all kept me occupied for a while.

But all the newbies made me nervous,  
With all the spam that was their purpose.  
A new Admin took his place,  
And said that he would give chase.

I do remember I felt damned,  
Insulted, lost, and yes, shitcanned–  
I wondered just what flame was fanned  
The day we were all banned.

Oh, man, man, you know a Marley can ban,  
Clicked the link, but I think, that was not a good plan.  
With Dopers all looking at the new hatchet man,  
And singing, “This’ll be the day I’ve been banned–  
This’ll be the day I’ve been banned.”\*

“Marleley, marlelellyleloooo, mar le nee, marlin, mar… tin, martian…”  
“Marley?”  
“That’s the one. Marley. Marley23.”  
“Marley23? Damn to the depths whatever man what thought of Marley.”  
“That would be the French.”

“The prohibition era”.

We may take it for granted today, but there was once a time when the Dope was banned. **Marley23** and his group of “untouchables” traveled the internet and ensured that no computer was legally on the Dope. The banning did not stop the demand, however, and “Post-easys” sprang up across the nation where people, now deprived of posting on the internet, would write expletive laced messages in their bathtubs about the cruelty of declawed cats in wheelchairs. It was a lawless time.

1 - I can’t do a fake French accent…only a real one! ☹

2 - Also, now _I_ have that earworm. Damn you, **Spoons!!**

3 - My suggestion was “Grim Bannedango”

[minor nitpick]Twenty-eleven, maybe; two thousand eleven, perhaps; or, two thousand and eleven, even. But the “aught” stands for the “0” in '01, '02, and so on, through '09. An example is, “twenty-aught-eight” for 2008.[/mn]
