It is obvious the whole board is OT.

Besides, that TPSIMS or so thing looks like an OT... Horse would probably fit into that BBQ pit.

The place looks boring like hell though.

For Christ's sake - they have a thread there entitled "What is the polite way to ask for oral sex?" and they ban me for asking where the OT is?

I made a thread at another forum about "Plastic Taffs", and it was closed before it even got 5 views. Now that's what I call sharp administration

What was the contents of the opening post in your thread Horse? Maybe if someone else, without your great reputation posted it, it would get a better reception.

lately I've been too lazy to sign up to other BB. It doesn't look that interesting anyways.

I've pretty much reduced my posting to one place.

Yep you guessed it. You guys are stuck with me. Although I only post a few days a week. I just can't find the time to post any more.

Probably because you posted it 3 times, with some question like 'Where is the Off Topic', which is just asking to be banned (or spammed ).

Come on Imran - do something useful for once in your life. Start a thread about it there, link it to here and maybe we'll all find out what happened.

wimp - surely you can do it nicely - my friend Alexander's Horse seems to have been banned, what's the problem? He says he accidentally triple posted a thread"......that sort of thing.

If you do it I'll stop picking on you (for a while anyway).

You could always register under a different name and then plead your case to them.

Great idea - get banned for spamming and then IP banned for making DL's

Points at Horse,



Let me review the whole sordid mess and I'll see if I can vouch for your character. I might link the mod in question to this thread, so stay on your best behavior, Horsey!

Here is the text of my letter:

"I have an Australian friend with a lousy connection that had the misfortune of having his very first thread, "Where the Hell is the OT?", triple-post in the Pit. For this action he was banned, perhaps a little too quickly. Honestly, it was all a mistake on his part and he would like the ban lifted, if you may. His login name was XXXXXXX and you can contact him at: ????????

In case you care, he talks about it here: http://www.apolyton.net/forums/showt...threadid=51987 "

The E-mail I gave them was alexhorse@bigpond.com.

If you post the thread please make a link so we can see what's up.

I saw a notice saying some users had been caught by some login snafu - I might have got caught up in that too.

Also, could you add to your thread post that I'm a universally loved internet legend? Ta

Which would explain the insta-ban!
