[sub]Couldn't reply before because the account was gone and I was at school.[/sub]

I thought you were staying on Furbut's forum?
[sub]Many people who apparently "left" the site seem to be back. Just saw tellmeimaninja today for example.[/sub]

Well with the people who left when Teddy got banned, it was kinda like a kid yelling "I'm running away and there's nothing you can do!" and now's when they decide they want to go home again?

No I heard of it.
Just stay in Forum Games otherwise you'll be found again?
@Toast: The theory I've had with this is even though you say you'll never come back, you do. Escapist is strangely addicting for some odd reason.
[sub]Word filters? Like how the PS3 is when typing messages?[/sub]

Well Hub requested it and could undo it anytime.
It's not surprising people are coming back?
[sub]I think it's more because people are finding out that Kuliani is no longer the Community Manager.
As for why they found you, probably that and the servers are automated to do that to prevent it. I'm sure they know ban jumpers already but won't do anything unless they start breaking rules again.[/sub]

Spin is going to be the new one?
[sub]Well that's for some others I mean because I'm seeing more people from 07 and from 04 actually here now. Kuliani has been here since 04 though.
No actually, but it is most likely that the servers detected the similar IP addresses or proxies being used that weren't strong. Ban-Jumping usually is dealt by the servers when detected.[/sub]

Eh, well things are definitely going to be different now?
[sub]Well Arch I guess was a user from WarCry that would greet new users since she joined when barely no one was on this site. But if you notice some things around you can tell that things are starting to change. Spin got rid of that Official Rules thread because he's been taking notes from many users input for the last couple of weeks since he started training for his new job last week. Kuliani is going to be here until the 28th and afterwords Spin takes over. Whether it is permanent or not no one knows, but I think it may be.
As for similar I mean servers can detect similar or the same IP address that is being used. When you are banned from the site you aren't given an IP ban, but in some cases when it is very bad then an IP ban will ensure. What most people would do is that they would use a proxy to get a new IP address, but they hold some similarities to old ones which can be how they are detected.[/sub]
