Repel boarders!!
Paiktis, take the small arms key to the small arms locker.
AH, man the phones and MC in control. OOD is going to the sail.
Sound the general alarm, announce "repel boarders".
Arm the SAT and BAF. SAT lay to the torpedo room.
AH send one man with an M-14 to the sail.
Stefu, gather a hose team and take a fire hose topside.
Repel boarders!
Stop the newbies!!

Bah, fireball? Why simply burn them when you can cast X-Zone and exile them to an alternate dimension? Or how about Ultima or Meteo? Or why not... every super-desctruction spell in existence at the same time? That'll stop them...
*prepares to cast Meteo, Ultima, Holy, Gigaflare, Ancient, Melton, Death Spell, X-Zone, Weak, Big Bang, Almagest, Apocalypse, and Absolute Zero simultaneously*
Just ask which spell should hit first, and I'll cast it

Well, first round goes to the clones who succeded in shutting down that stronghold of the veterans, the OT.
But I am sure that MarkG has a plan ready to expand capacity - after all you could see this comming all the way. Right, MarkG? RIGHT???

Right, at owo the OT held as a bastion of veterancy for a good long time, until the forums were slowly abandoned. I would have suspected the same happened here, but it seems the newbies caught us completely by surprise and shut down OT before we even knew we were under attack! Our complacency has gotten us.

If you need any lists to be created and fired upon the newbies- just ask me... (  I am about 1/4th done revising the Apolyton: History of top 120 posters  ) So we can flaunt our grateness in the paths of the younguns... If you have any details you wish to be added- please say so here:

owo's not still around is it? I'd say that's a loss. We can't let that happen here.
(Hey, I know it's unlikely here, but show no mercy anyway )

I say that we should give kings, emperors and deities free passage and make the newbies wait until the server is not busy again.

 I don't think that giving the top spammers special privileges will do much to cut down on traffic
