Nope. I have no idea who he was but hes gone now.
I used my ninja powers to remove him and his posts.

They appeared as Guest because JJ had deleted the account but not the posts (or something like that). If you check some of the old threads you can find posts by "Guests" whose accounts have long since been deleted but their posts remain.

Re: So what was that newsbot thing?
The gimmick account made a fatal error.
You see the very idea that enby (Newsbot) could post wanker-like threads is absurd.
If the gimmick account maker had the sense to try and make me look like a complete twat then he might have been believed.

Re: So what was that newsbot thing?
Flavius signed up a gimmick account called newsbot and proceeded to post threads which were just copied news stories. JJ deleted the account and pruned the threads but has absolutely no clue how to use the search ip function (apparently) so couldn't work out it was flavius. I arrived home, worked it out quickly and took various actions described above for the principles of justice and freedom from shitness on the internet.

If it had been me, Flavius would have been banned until 2007 and he would have been ****ing thankful for it.

I think JJ and JBG should now fight in public to see who comes out of this one looking least nerdy.

you were right up until the bit where i have absolutely no idea how to use the ip function.
i was using it BEFORE YOU WERE EVEN A MOD SONNY JIM AND DONT YOU FORGET IT.
p.s. i just decided that i couldnt be bothered with the hassle. altho i do seem to recall saying something like 'i cant find his ip' in irc. mostly because when i hit his post there was no 'ip logged' bottom right and i couldnt be 'arsed' to relog back into the admin and click through all the pretty blue screens to the ip thing.
true story

Re: So what was that newsbot thing?
