Strakeln I was only half joking about that Knobull smoking rubber but I have to ask.
What did you do to him? Ripped his soul trough his anus ?? He's mad at you for some reason

I can't believe you guys all missed this!

The story is laid out in the four threads I linked, but here's the condensed version:

Knobull is either "Yabber" or "Keyfaker of Orien" here (they may be one in the same, or related).

This all started at the end of January. Yabber was unhappy with KNN's posts and my unwillingness to do anything about it, so he started spamming the Vault. His hope was that I would then ban him, and this would somehow prove whatever point he was trying to make. I've often said that the easiest way to get banned here is to try, but I figured I'd do things a little differently this time. So I sanitized his account - changed the email address, blew away the PMs, and flushed the IP cache. Then I changed his password to "fucknut" and posted his new login/password for all to see. A few people logged in before someone changed the password again and claimed the account for themselves.

Yabber was still not banned at that point, as I wanted to give him a chance for more drama. He registered in a new account and said he was going to spend the next few weeks trying to hack the Vault. He then tried out every known YaBB vulnerability he could find with Google. That didn't work, so he started spamming the place again (I forget the exact timeline with these last two items, may have them backwards).

He also requested a password reset at the webhost, which created the standard auto-gen email from them. I posted the email here for all to laugh at, and this email included the IP he made the request from. Eventually, I had to declare fun time as over, so I banned his IPs and made it more difficult for him to register new accounts.

Two months later, he's clearly still butthurt. He submitted another password reset at the webhost last night. Keyfaker, who is either Yabber or a friend/relative of Yabber, is just as butthurt, but limits his response to "I hate Strake" posts.

What is particularly amusing, to me at least, is the reality of his situation. He's advocating people contact my webhost... because I posted an auto-gen email from when he tried to access one of their computing devices without authorization... after he spent a fair bit of time and effort at spamming their servers. If he pushes this far enough, the end result might just be the webhost contacting his ISP about his activities. ISPs don't take too kindly to people spamming and <cough> "hacking" - so they may very well deny him service. I don't know about you, but where I live, there's only one broadband provider... sure would suck to be banned from using them...

Where I live there's.... Orange, Free, Bouygues, SFR/Numericable, and 10 ( wild assed number, actual is probably higher ) ISPs... All offering some kind of broadband ( usually triple play through a box )

The fiber was installed in the building two weeks ago... I'm waiting for them to call me to see what are their offers. [ typical will be 100mb down, 20Mb up with a high end subscription at 500Mb down/200Up ]
( They are going to call, Sadly I'll probably get a drone from whatever callcenter they hired that will be unable to give me the answers to the questions I'll ask him, so I'll probably end up digging out the details on the net )

On that point I'm quite glad to be on my side of the Pond, it's uncommon to have one single broadband ISP in an area here, as usually the last mile is (formerly) state owned, so any ISP can rent it to the (former) state monopoly.

In cities in the US there is usually a few options.  Some form of dsl (usually provided by at&t) and one or two cable providers as well as fiber in some of the much bigger cities. 

In the country though....  About 15 years ago I lived in a little hick town,  and the month before I moved there they had just gotten their first broadband provider.  Even still there were large swaths of land that they didn't cover leaving people still stuck with a 56k modem or satellite as their only options.  I haven't been back up their in a few years but I doubt it's gotten much better.

You shot your load too early. I might need a better county, but there are hundreds, if not thousands, of broadband providers across my country.

And I don't have any caps, so my shitty provider is already several steps up from any you can get

Pretty clever move for Fatty, bit of forum judo letting the thread run then using it to clear the PC to save face.

Grand wrote on Apr 3^rd, 2016 at 6:52pm:

Please.  Clever had nothing to do with it.  I haven't noted Snook to be terribly clever.  Just his choice of employment points to that, as who would want to do his job?  That is not a rhetorical question.  Who would actually want his job, unless they had no other option?  I would work in a call center before I'd do his job, and that job is entirely thankless enough, as I know through both conversations with the managers of call centers who had to deal with the huge turnover rate due to the rules they enforced for time on the phone with each customer and also colleagues and friends who have worked such jobs and have been in tears about it at times.  It sucks ass, and I sympathize entirely.
As an aside, Turbine seems to be a bit better.  I've only have to call in about 5 times, but each time I've had a good experience with their call center personnel, and they have engaged in lengthy chitchat with me on a couple of calls.  If they were judged solely on time to resolve metrics that would never happen.

Being the weekend and putting in limited time on a weekend seems a more likely explanation for Jerry's post, since he left all the posts with outright cursing and he usually deletes/cubes those.  Unless I missed some, but there are still animated gifs that clearly violate the TOS in the thread, and a lot of other exchanges that usually get cubed.
