He was always good for a shit show, always.

Yeah, wasn't it something like how Rock agreed to a bet and then tried to welch out of it when he lost? Then when he finally agreed to do so, he tried to change the duration of the avatar from a long time to a week or month and when the "long time" part was enforced (by Justin, I think), he blew up and vanished.

So, if by "over-moderation", you mean "a mod/site owner enforcing that Rock live up to his end of a bet", then yes.

Not sure about how modding affected non, either. I don't remember any modding being done to him. I think he just left due to how he fell from being "knowledgeable sports fan" to "WTF" status after that whole "winning teams = smarter fans" thing that no one was going to forget...or let him forget.

Capone, yes. Mainly because he was pretty much permanent basement after about the millionth time he got sent here. I'm still not sure if he was a shitty troll or a good one, though. All he posted were about 500 variations on "cleveland sucks" or "mistake by the lake" followed by "hahahahaaaaa". But he did so constantly and ignored every comeback to continue doing so. Leading to the great self-policing fanbase winding having to constantly report posts so he'd be removed from their threads. So by sucking, not caring about how much he sucked and being a constant troll, he probably was as successful as anyone. Occasionally, thinthick would try to live up to that goal, but no one was usually able to figure out what he was saying because of how he was illiterate, so that didn't work so well for him.

Sure was. It was before the crybabies got what they wanted, and you could get away with anything. So many great threads.

I think you have an extra "a."

Anyway, your description of capone is not 100% accurate. There were plenty of times where we got to capone and we broke him out of his "hahahahaaaa" state of idiocy. I believe the mods started to basement ban him, because 1. they wouldn't allow us to respond to capone the way we used to, and 2. myself and other browns posters finally just kept copying all his posts in the Browns thread and pasting them in the steelers threads, which led to some pissed off steelers posters.

Yeah...I remember point 2 now. I'd tried to block it out. And successfully until now, I guess. Damn...back to therapy...

Wasnt the final rock meltdown after Italy got eliminated in the first round of the World Cup?

That was almost 3 years ago. Surprised this place is still around.

So what was the bet he lost about, then?

Pick6;1420278 wrote:So what was the bet he lost about, then?

Hockey-related, I think. Because the avatar that pissed him off was a shirtless Boston player, wasn't it? RDI making him go all homoerotic caused his brain to explode.

lol pretty much. I think the bet was who would make it further in the playoffs (Pens or Bruins). Bruins ended up winning that year.

Chara from the ESPN body issue lol.

Wow, I found out I was banned for that post?

That is so BS.

No, wait, its not. Pretty right on move to whomever pulled the trigger.

Guess was just tired of that j/o. I could say the world is round, or the sky is blue and he/she would always have to disagree or whatever.

I know i shouldnt let the person who has a life detailed in the song 'Lola" by The Kinks get under my skin but hey, it happens.

You're seriously surprised that post got you an infraction?? You must be joking.

Seems like it huh.

What an ass.

I think you should follow him around on the OC for another year, be an abolute asshole and maybe he will blow up at you.
