Did TBBS crash or did I get banned?

After agitating them on Obama's cancellation of the Moon program, I haven't been able to get on TBBS for over half an hour.

It's historic!!!!!!1!!

How do you create an undetectable dual anyway to get on the TrekBBS?

I don't mind lurking on the board I can access, but I have a hankering to lurk the TNZ and I think I would have to be a member to get access there.

Or am I wrong.

This is pathetic...

What?

Muad Dib, you're permabanned when:

* You're no longer listed in the TBBS Members Directory.

* Your signature, & probably avatar as well, is gone!

* You get this message:

vBulletin Message




You have been banned for the following
reason:
No reason was specified.

Date the ban will be lifted: Never

* Nonpermabans & suspensions I can't comment on.

* Ask T'Bonz &/or Mallory about your TBBS account status.

* Out of ideas!

I can't even get the forums page to load.

Bah! Those pussies!

OK, it's working now. I'm not banned.

Must...troll...harder!

I got to the forums page but I can't get TNZ to load now.

The Chinese must be attacking them too.

I blame Scorponok.

Ask them to unban me.

That will get their attention.

They're a joke and they know it. They have losers posting squid porn. Losers banned that create alternate screennames that get caught AND reinstated. It goes on and on over there. But they're their buddies so it's business as usual.

I'd nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Oooh ask to unban me too if you don't care about that account.

I'm having trouble too. Do you think they'll migrate over here like we do over there?

They might. Better get the toilet plungers ready.

I was surprised to see that Dennis Bailey is still alive.

Why? Is he ill?

I've heard he has AIDs.

Probably bent over too far when someone praised "Tin Man".

He has AIDS.

He's managed to hang in there for quite awhile now.

That's unfortunate. Really.

Well, even though he is an asshole I don't wish ill health or death on anyone.

I do wish he were less of an asshole though.

He was in a relationship with Merritt Butrick.

Yeah, the whole thing left him pretty bitter.

I wish he were healthy.

But permabanned.

What exactly left him bitter? I'm asking seriously. It's not unlike homosexuals don't understand the risk their lifestyle presents.

Of the ass! Of. The. ASS!!!

I imagine contracting the HIV virus that he acquired would still be a pretty traumatic experience.

^ The wages of sin is death.

Is it HIV or full blown AIDS? HIV you can live with I guess, but AIDS is a different story.

Anyway, none of them showed up here.

I'm pretty sure he has full blown AIDS.

Muad Dib, if you don't already have an account at forums.spacebattles.com, you should register there. As a back-up b-board should TBBS ever permaban you.

SB is essentially TBBS Lite. If TrekBBS were Coke, SpaceBattles would be Diet Coke or Coke Zero.

Ironically, SB actually has twice as many members as TBBS. About the same number of currently active users at any given time as TBBS. And about a thousand less active members. But, SB's more subdued & calm than TBBS.

Just friendly advice should some TNZ asswhipe mod decide you must get tossed out TBBS's airlock
