Pornography? Damn, I must have missed that one!

Area 25 was a shameful blot on the history of this site. It was pointless, childish and damnable. It is with great pride that I can announce that I took no part in it and never even considered posting there.

The fact that no bugger told me about it is irrelevant. You gits.

Memories

There was also another communal DL that a few of us knew about...I don't know if it was ever deleted.

"'Sup I am God" We were hoping to get it to deity and then make its grand entrance into the OT

Btw: DarkCloud there was no "porn" it was one softcore nude posted by.....hmmmm, I forget who. I got 30% pcr and 2 weeks! But it's how I got started at CGN (during my ban from poly) so I guess it was all ok in the end.

I think WarVoid may have posted it- I am not sure however.

(I too was not invited ) oh well- that's why I am an emperor now and you are but a king. [even with my pcr ]

-Actually- have any of the emperors not received a PCR at one time or another here?

(I got mine the day I reached 3000 )

I wonder why.

It also explains your collosal post count - it wouldn't seem so big if the competition hadn't been "tripped".

Even without PCR's... nobody would be close
For some strange reason, I spend a lot of time at Apolyton, and I post a lot on topic

Yes they are... but sometimes, the staff room is as active as the dino forum
Most of my posts still come from Civ III and Civ II.
And I get a "few" from this forum too

That doesn't sum it up. "Confessed"? I didn't "confess" to anything. Ming found the link because some of the stupid young spammers like Orange and Comrade DAN led him right to it (they always leave out that part).

It had been open off and on for days, a kind of Area 25 portal for people to fall through

Other Area 25ers were doing the same. I got the idea off one of them.

So I'd say Orange and co were realy responsible for the discovery of Area 25.

Hey Lancer, try harder.

There's an injoke about my role in the discovery of Area 25 which you aren't party to. I'm not the only one whose amused by your efforts to stoke it. Keep up the good work.

Thanx

Actually, all trolling aside, I don't see you as the type that would do that to his friends AH. I believe you to be innocent of intentionally posting a link to lead Ming to area 25 and thereby ratting out your friends. In fact I see the link as a screw up, nothing more.

Hey, what's a few years of mutual trolling between friends?

Truly AH, I've harbored some deep seated animosity towards you in the past, but I've let it go as being too silly to support.

Okay that's good news Lancer I'll stop baiting you too

But I never stopped thinking of you as my friend

Now you can be in on the joke too

There is a lot more to this than people know - Ming saved my arse with MarkG, who wanted to give me the highest category of penalty.

I knew Area 25 would go down sooner or later. Ming saved me because I had been talking to him on a hypothetical basis about if something "naughty" was discovered (I didn't say what) that there be no overreaction like the Yo Yo/ Spink incident. I think the Area 25er's should thank Ming because I think Mark and Dan were pretty annoyed about the whole thing and could have reacted much worse - except Ming went into bat for them.

Now why wasn't I banned? A couple of reasons. Firstly I didn't post there much - except a couple of times to predict doom for the Area 25er's.

Secondly and more importantly Ming told me that he persuaded Mark that if I didn't get a ban then the Area 25ers would think I was stool pidgeon and that would be a much more fun punishment for the mods i.e. watching old horsie take the heat

So there you have it - more Area 25 trivia revealed.
