Ming, could it possibly be when you told that MtG is the new OTF mod? Or was what the date of Black Sunday?

Ecthelion is right, it was the '150 postslimit' thread.
It was even a stupid rule ! The banning period of some people took longer than the existance of that rule

No. I can with absolute and utmost certainty say: It wouldn't be.

I stand corrected then. But not by much.

Hey, we should have a commemorative, historical re-enactment of Black Saturday! Seing as we are all much better behaved now, all of us who were originally involved could pick a newbie of our choice as our stand-in and instruct them by PM on what to do, and when.

Then just sit back and watch the atrocities unfold.

Ex-cellent, Smithers.

You are correct that many started calling it Black Saturday later because that was the day the "protest" really occured.

But the original thread announcing the bans didn't come out until Sunday and was indeed titled "Black Sunday".

I remember that "somebody" even started a thread to complain about my use of the title "Black Sunday" for religious reasons

Poor choice of fonts, Stefu. It's barely readable.

At least they wouldn't have to adopt extravagent facial hair like those American Civil War and Frontier Days reenactment guys over here.

I assume some Danes dress up in Viking helmets and row over to pillage England now and again, but reenacting historical moments on the internet would be an entirely new level of wacked. Count me in, since I missed the first go round, only posting during the week and all.

Oh, I also want to re-enact that moment. After all, I'm bored, and I never visited Mingapulco.

If we ever have this re-enactment, I'd like to pick Sten Sture as my personal remote controlled newbie then.

I was not involved in that

I was and have alwas been the epitome of good posting habits

(for some reason Ming likes deleting my threads and threatening to ban me though, for some reason he never threatens to give me a PCR)
