Bananas and Nuts

Oh, fun. I wonder if I could use Archive.org to continue to participate in the forum circa 2005?

Wasn’t this an unmitigated disaster the last time it happened? Why must the rest of us be punished because a few people act like jerks?

Well Tom certainly can’t just punish himself.

Welcome to our newest member, Why were you banned?

WOOO?

John_Many_Jars · 2010-08-31T22:18:22.000Z

I think it’s great. RELEASE THE BATS!

Nengjanggo · 2010-08-31T22:19:21.000Z

So… sigs and forum avatars, too? Anybody with me?

TimElhajj · 2010-08-31T22:25:24.000Z

Can guests post?

Not since 2008.

So if it’s open registration, is anyone banned anymore?

Gotta go tell Derek!

Cory:

This isn’t about a banning, but it is meta. Looks like the forum rules have been updated, and Qt3 is now a completely open forum. No vetting required, new accounts can post instantly.

That’s what I’m talking about.

Less snootiness and more tolerance for different and opposing opinions.

A toast, everyone!

Cheers!

I know I’m not one of the better known members of this forum, but I am extremely disappointed by this. I know Tom must be fed up with policing things, but the culture of the board seems to have been going downhill recently anyway, and this can only make things worse.

Well, the rule that got M Gallant banned is still listed, so…

Hans_Lauring · 2010-09-01T00:46:35.000Z

At least we’ll have the podcasts…

Chris_Nahr · 2010-09-01T00:50:29.000Z

Guess we’ll soon figure out the maximum capacity of the ignore list feature.

Hunty · 2010-09-01T00:56:23.000Z

Oh dear.

You aren’t a real qt3 vet until the idea of newbies gives you hives.

It’s been pretty rubbish for years actually. I’m looking forward with interest to the new era.

Because taking your ball and going home is ALWAYS the right thing to do.

How long has it been since Albert posted a new chart?
