OWNER-MAN locks out BillyTheMountain from posting!! URGENT

Off-topic
1

As you know, BillyTheMountain is one of the few members here who has been consistently standing up for the rights of unicyclists. So now, whenever BillyTheMountain attempts to log on, this message appears:

Do you BELIEVE THIS??! Is OWNER-MAN so threatened by us unicyclists that he extends his efforts at censorship to this extreme??!

Lately, BillyTheMountain has engaged in direct confrontation with OWNER-MAN about his oppressive pixel and bandwidth limits. BillyTheMountain seems to be the only one here standing up for the rights of unicyclists!

OWNER-MAN has divided the unicycling community, and some have actually bought OWNER-MAN’s baloney that it’s not truly OWNER-MAN’s doing.

I know there is actually an infinite amount of pixels and bandwidth available, and OWNER-MAN is trying to keep it from you, my unicycling brothers and sisters, to restrict your freedom of expression. It starts with avatars, but where will it end???

Fight the OWNER-MAN! No pixel limits! Free expression for unicyclists!!!

As long as OWNER-MAN can give you your freedom, you’ll never be free!

That was a legitimate SQL error message that occured on the showthread page. You don’t actually think you are being censored, do you? :smiley: You did make this post?

It’s fun to pick on Billy, all in good fun. (and temporary)

:sunglasses:
Now where did billy go, I was just starting to be amused.

Owner man? Does he 0wn?

5

nah man, he pwns.

The interesting question is whether or not BillyTheMountain is necessary for the ecosystem. A parallel question would be is the spotted owl necessary for the ecosystem? I think not. Was the dodo (not the Doda, which was of course essential) necessary for the ecosystem?

My, that WAS urgent.

7

That the questions are parallel is unclear, but your agenda most certainly is not.

8

I spotted BillyTheMountain once.

9

Ask not whether BillyTheMountain is necessary for the ecosystem; ask whether the ecosystem is necessary for BillyTheMountain. Without a repressive society to rebel against, what would he do?

Both agenda or just one agendum?

11

I meant the second listed definition.

12

Who is this OWNER-MAN he speaks of?

13

Any idea why that happened, Gilby?

It definitely showed 4 pages, then it definitely wouldn’t let me go to the 4th, then it loaded me up on an empty 4th page when I posted, and now it definitely has BillytheMountain’s post before mine. What gives?

14

Billy would like you to think there was censorship going on. [post=701598]Hmmm…[/post]

15

How did that affect me and cathwood?

16

Thank you. I find out so much about myself from other people. They are my main source of information about myself. I have found in the past that I was so often wrong about what I wanted, needed, or meant that I rely almost entirely on input (or, rather, output) from others.

How’s Emma’s riding coming along? Is she still interested?

17

It means you were safely constricted from seeing Billy’s freedom-hating posts… :smiley: (for a short time)

18

So not only was he banned but all of his mosts you made go bye bye?

19

Nah, I was just having fun joking with him with this lovely feature.

He wasn’t banned. He could still see all his own posts and threads, but nobody else could. :wink:

Tachy goes to coventry?

Also, I have come to the conclusion that doing such a thing to someone as a joke is much more demoralizing and hilarious than a full ban.
