Poll: Let us remember The Banned...

[Soviet Heavy]

There was one guy I miss he used to make the most amazing puns in 2011 I forget his name however his avatar was Jesus I think

The one and only HankMan!

I'm trying to remember another user who I rather enjoyed, but I don't know what his name was or what his avatar was, but he left an impact.

I was really upset when I saw Mathew94 got banned..I thought it was quite a shame, as I never really saw him do anything wrong.. To me, he was always a super nice guy T_T

But can anybody tell me what happened to Sean Hollyman? He just kinda vanished, and his profile said he was banned, but I could never find a single reason why he'd get banned in the first place?

He spammed a group 90 times trying to get to 5000 posts

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Matthew94. That Star Fox avatar is just absolutely unforgettable.

I'll always remember Sean Hollyman, for his interesting threads

Alas, he deserved his banning. The temptation to quickly get the Neo badge is too strong for some to bare

Sean Hollyman got banned? Aw, I kind of liked him. D:

Well, I'm not sure, his profile says he isn't more...

[HEADING=2]Come, my friends...Let us remember The Banned.[/HEADING]
​

Let us reflect upon who put them there when some of them never deserved it.

 

[Saviordd1]

I miss @Anthraxus .... sorta.... He at least made talking about RPGs.... funny.... I guess.

I remember Anthraxus and that stupid RPG he kept pushing.

Him and Khar really had it out for each other.

hey anyone remember lilithslave? I know she wanst banned but her "dramatic exit"
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.376797-Please-help-me-find-another-forum-online-community?page=1

was worthy of a true prima-donna!

Ahh, I remember her rants about Touhou getting on everybody's nerves.

Though with some of her passive/aggressive responses she was sort of asking for some sort of trouble.

Ahh Matthew94, I remember fond times of him yelling at me because my monitors weren't as good as his. I'll surely miss that.

I remember Boudica going crazy, that was weird.

However I'm grateful to Vault101 for remembering Mortai with her profile picture.


Oh, and TestECull, because he had a funny picture of Jeremy Clarkson as his avatar.

I was amazed TestECull lasted so long.

How did Boudica go 'insane' anyway? I always thought that she was a little crazy to begin with.

Why did you refer to me when quoting me as if I was some other person?

Maybe I have the wrong person, but you used to have a "lion" or some kind of cartoon animal with a green hood/hat as an avatar right?
I recognize your name from the past and thought you'd disappeared, but then noticed you a few days back (catchy avatar).

I went back to my old avatar recently myself as the mood on the forums got very hostile for some reason. So it's back to glaring Maka.

Hmm, I don't think that's me. I had a clown soldier throwing a pie, a Daft Punk helmet, a skeleton bomber-pilot, my current one, various Beastie Boys avatars and that's it.

Yeah, I've been going back to my old ones as well. I brought my current one back as a celebration of sorts.

Then who was that?

Weird. Either way, I do recognize your name and also don't believe I've ever had an argument with you.
So that's all good.

Carry on then.

I can't think of anyone right now but if a name does pop up you'll be first to know.

I think I discussed something with you once, an exchange of quotes, where I learned something. That's good enough for me ^_^.

Will do! *Continues posting.*

 

[unstabLized]

Although she wasn't banned, I really miss Aylaine. You can still see her once in awhile, but for the most part she isn't active on the Escapist anymore, she is a super nice and sweet person with an open mind and an open heart.

Aylaine is gone? Awww

She was so nice to me. I had problems with Origin a couple of months back, and she was the only one who really helped me out and was nice to me about it.. This makes me sad..

OT: I remember Zeel. March is when I joined the forums, and a short time after, he pops in every Mass effect 3 thread. I thought he was bat-shit crazy. Besides that, I remember Matthew94 by his Starfox avatar. He seemed like a good guy.

 

[AzrealMaximillion]

I remember Mortai. I was the guy he was debating when he got banned. That was a moment that shook a lot of people's worlds it seems. Can't say I'll personally miss him though. That debate is still fresh in my memory.

 

[Coldster]

Hankman will never leave my memories. He would never fail to come up with a dozen witty puns each and every day.

Was it that debate that was more of a three way thing involving yourself, Mortai and.....Kerplunk if I recall correctly? Assuming we're talking about the same thing, it was an interesting thread alright until Mortai when whining to the mod group about being insulted while "forgetting" that he was calling people idiots, sexists and liars in the same thread.

 

[Mr. Omega]

Only one who I actually saw around the forums and kinda miss was Hankman.

All the others I either didn't know, wasn't here for or am glad they're gone. There are a couple people who seem close to a ban, and frankly, I'll be glad to see them go...

 

[Basement Cat]

Honestly, with the one exception being Matthew94, I don't miss anyone that's been banned.

I can name a few people who I was happy to see the back of, however...

Matthew94 sticks out in my mind partly for ribbing you as an Evil Rule Breaker, but mostly because of the way he commandeered Fappy's old Mao avatar and kept answering/insisting that HE was Fappy.

That was funny, the reactions he got from a lot of people.

Fappy had had his old 'Winking Mao' avatar for so long (and most people don't look at others' names) that Matthew94 actually answered a few others, I think, and they thought they'd been talking to Fappy.

I miss [user]Matthew94[/user]. He was cool.

[HEADING=1]ATTENTION! THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT![/HEADING]

Having used the dark art of steam chat necromancy to talk to Matthew94 from beyond the grave and he wants it made absolutely clear that the group he was banned over was intended as a joke and not in any way some sort of childish backlash against the moderators. This is something I am told he has explained many times and that he would like it to sink in at some point.

It's good to know he didn't have a meltdown like Danyal or others.

 

[Sacman]

Not to mention he was starting to make mParadox kind of uncomfortable... if I remember correctly... so I'm sure some of his mod friends took notice after that...

Oh you know, the sheer intensity of being intensely loved from thousands of miles away kind of gets to you.

OH and I had nothing to do with his dramatic suspension and banning. That was all him. Classy classy him.

And he also jumped. Or whatever it is ya'll are calling it. Made another account, mods found out(not through me mind), that one got banned too.

*sighs* I miss the drama. It was silly. But fun. For me. It was probably emotionally horrifying for him. >.>

Heh, yeah it all seemed a bit too real for him... seeing as how I remember at one point he was telling you that he loved you... xD

same with the banning too... taking it all personally cause he got in trouble for posting porn once, if I remember correctly...<.>

But Darkspectar was always fun in the forum games. He just had that sense of humor that can be mistaken for abuse. Tone is really hard to convey over the internet.

Yeah that and by his third suspension he might as well have been calling out the mods by name and laying out as many specific insults he could before the ban hammer came...<.<

>.>

Just sayin... Cole Johnson... ;p

 

[Rip Van Rabbit]

[HEADING=1]Boudica![/HEADING]

I miss her. Sure she had her meltdown and random moments of heated insanity, but she was a joy to pm
Oh the long and strange discussions we had.

 

[Froggy Slayer]

Ooh, I kind of want to see the thread where Boudicca got banned now.

Also, a lot of these people getting banned makes me sad. They added colour to the forums.

 

[Jaeke]

Ehh, I remember a couple or three, for various reasons.

I remember Necroswanson who seemed like a normal internet guy, but he made an angry post too many. I remember NoMoreSanity, who was a decent guy when I spoke to him but probably deserved his banning. I remember MaxtheReaper, forum celebrity of a couple years back. I remember Furburt, now running his own forum with Hubilub. I remember Indigo_Dingo, mostly because of his 10000 post review of the Escapist. I remember Darth Mobius and Darth Empyrean, a forum couple. I remember Zeeky Santos and Fish Food Carl and Lord Cuthberton and RAKtheUndead and Richard Groovy Pants and Sean Hollyman and Swollen Goat and WanderFreak and Mathew94 and Avykins and IdealistCommi (who became Rocket Dog) and Demented Teddy and Pararaptor. I remember Mortai Gravesend.

I mean, you stick around for a while, you tend to remember the people who make a name for themselves by getting themselves banned, as well as those who simply gravitate away.

I don't remember why they were banned and I don't glorify them either - many were banned for good reasons. I simply remember they existed.

Wait wtf happened to Mathew94? And Mortai?

Man I've only been off for a couple months and everyone's gone
