He seemed happy enough setting the world to rights in the EG comment section (actually, I think you'll find)

If he did come back he'd try to pass himself off as a new poster who has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the old forum because he lurked there for years. He'd then just pretend to have a different personality so he never got pulled for the heart cancer thing.

I would really like to see BlizeH returning. I loved his threads full of advice seeking, talking through the possibilities, drawing on the forums wide experiences etc. And then he ignores it all and does nothing instead. I think He's here.

Yeah, I just meant if they let Ryan re-reg and post again there'd be little point banning or modding anyone in the first place so can't make much of an argument for unbanning. He seemed alright apart from that one cancery thing. I imagine he's on the watch list with e*****e For the record I never tried to rereg. I specifically did a registration under my own name as there is no way to contact the mods etc without being a member. The “rereg” I sent had a message attached as you can add a note to the application saying “this is not a rereg, just a way of contacting you asking can you please delete my account.” Anyway, I realised I was a poor fit for the forum, and I am strongly opposed to the LexW and e*****e bans, so I figured why rock the boat and just stick to lurking. The only contributions I made were to Yakuza threads anyway, so being a lurker doesn’t change much. (also thanks to whichever mod approved this account, as I said in the application note I will be lurking anyway.) As regards my ban, I did double down when told I was due to be banned, so can’t argue with it. And feel that if venting is ban worthy, and I disagree with that it is the mods prerogative to police the boards as they see fit, if that is a different way than I would like to see the board going then it is only fair for me to walk away rather than redo the fight I already had prior over the Lex banning etc. for what it is worth I do still enjoy the board, and find it amusing and worth lurking.

I dunno. Like, just acknowledge the cancer stuff was a bit shitty because it offended enough people. I don't get why you're not a good fit just because some people got banned. There's obviously other people who didn't really care for the bans. You fit in just fine

Can anyone do a 'Free the Ryan One!' banner on that protest from Truss speech. Or just imagine it maybe.

(By me) and they let this one in with the same name very clear and text saying it is a rereg so I assume someone has. But to be honest I think I will stick to lurking anyway, unless Yakuza comes up as a topic.

Nobody wants to ban anyone and nobody really wants to be a mod. As far as I can tell, we only have three relatively firm moderation rules:
1) Anyone who signs up with a throaway email address like proton mail is auto-rejected
2) Dont wish death on anyone
3) Dont be annoying
Sarfin, for example, fell foul of rule three because '.....is a cunt' threads are annoying. Shame he ragequit over something so innocuous but there you go. Same with Ryan. He got a week on the naughty step which needlessly turned into something bigger and its cool he has come back. Would be nice if Sarfin started posting again, too.
Its a small community and nobody wants rid of anyone. Other than the obvious.

Is this some new definition of lurking I've yet to come across? Meh. I wanted to post one thing to clarify I never tried to circumvent a ban. But thanks for the comment, pointed out why I don’t want to post. That’s it for me. it is nice to have an account again though so as to be able to go back to new posts.

What did you think of it? I listened to most of the first series and was a little disappointed compared to the audiobooks. Plus I had him singing the theme tune stuck in my head for months. It still happens every now and again like now. Day 2 now. Alan Partridge from the Oasthouse, Alan Partridge from the Oasthouse! From the Ousthouse with Alan Partridge, from the Oasthouse with Alan Partridge. From the Oasthouse.

Come on man, you have to take stuff like that as the jokes they are and try to see the funny side. You've posted multiple times to let people know you're lurking, which tickled me too.

NotDale could a) never go more than five minutes without revealing himself and b) is an absolute ban on sight for as long as I (and probably others) are a mod.

I remember when he PM'd me back in EG forum days to say he was disappointed with me for agreeing you over something because you were a nasty homophobe.

I guess but I did get those stitches from actually having cancer as opposed to running out of a GP's surgery.
