I’ve been around almost as long as Tuba Diva - probably joined about an hour after she did - and AFAIK, I’ve escaped notice. ---

I’ve never been pitted, but I’m not a Holy 99’er 😉 ---

I think I joined in June or July of 2000, and AFAIK I’ve never been pitted. But I could have missed it, since I sometimes (occasionally) go awhile without checking the boards. ---

I joined in '99 (I _think_… well, look up in the corner and check for yourself) and I’ve never been Pitted. But then, I have a lower posting rate than most, and it’s not as if I go out of my way to be controversial or anything. ---

I havent been. Few posters get pitted. ---

> [@Chastain86](#): > > That’s it. I’ve HAD IT with you smug 99ers who never piss anybody off!.. Heh. When I joined in '99… my user name was **smug** , I hardly ever post in any other forum than MPSIMS, so I have never been pitted. [sup](that I know of…)[/sup] My two or three pit threads I have started have been the benchmark for lame-ness - so I mostly pollute this forum with silly parodies and short forgettable replies ~ like this one. 🙂 ---

I got Pitted once. It made me feel like an olive, only without the pimento. Then came the Winter of Our Missed Content and it went away. So it doesn’t count now. I still haven’t forgiven **ShibbOleth** for the whole fiasco. The Pitting, not the Winter. As far as I know, _that_ wasn’t his fault. As far as _I_ know… ---

I don’t remember ever being Pitted. Then again, I don’t normally look there. I generally try to avoid causing trouble, although I’ve made a few ill-advised comments that could probably be the subject of a Pit thread. ---

I got joke pitted once (over some olives, coincidentally), but though I’ve been in many a ding-dong in the Pit, I’ve never actually had a serious thread dedicated to my assholishness. ---

I’ve never been pitted. I’ve always been sort of smoooth. ---

As far as _I_ know… Keep it up, Weisenheimer, and see if I don’t drag your ass\* out there again. You’re about due. In fact, I’ve half a mind to pit the lot of you. “Oh, look at me, I’m _so_ saintly and everybody loves me so much that I’ve never been pitted!” :: sharpens his scissors and knitting needles :: I’ll get you, my pretties, and your little blog, too! \*That reminds me. We took the Shibblets to Animal Kingdrom[sup]®[/sup] this past weekend and there were a couple of asses chasing each other around, braying and kicking, and generally, well, making asses of themselves. The poor WonderLlama that was in the pen with them was quite distressed. It was more fun than monkeys flinging feces. ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > Damn. I’d kind of like to be pitted! I promise it isn’t all that amusing:) Next one will be my sixth. I leave it as an exercise to the reader (or to **Reeder** , if he so chooses) to determine which were deserved and which were not. ---

I’m not an old-timer in post count, but I’ve been around since 2001, and AFAIK, have never been Pitted. ---

Im approaching 2000 posts, and been here more than 2 year. No one’s pitted me, but I’ve had a couple of Pit thread I started turn on me. ---

I’ve been here since '99 and don’t even know what pitting entails. I never go to the Pit – life is too short – so I wouldn’t know if I’d been pitted or not. ---
