Re: Spamming this group - has ignoring it really helped?

Wow. Those are names I haven't thought about in years!

Yeah, how many?...Ten? Twelve? Clinton presidency? ;)
(Remember one "lifestyle" troll who briefly stopped a whole week of posts, then suddenly posted "I'm sorry I trolled all those years, I now know it was wrong, and I am going to move to Belize", and weird part was, he never DID show up again?--Nahh, me neither.
Y'know, typing that just now, I'm starting to get a theory for the Belize part, but...that was still kinda weird.)

Sure, I remember the days when trolls used to fight for their own "celebrity" alt.fan groups out of competing peer-pressure...
So does Rob apparently (and thought it was the present), when he threw that big tantrum over his Wikipedia vanity-stunt getting cancelled--
Some people just can't deal with changing times. (For the obvious reason.)

But there was a major factor at work on our little homestead (not to mention others) all that time, and you'll never guess who we have to thank:
Yes, ladies, gentlemen, and Fagboy Otakus, when we say "Gaza makes any group troll-proof for life", we mean it. FOR LIFE. ^_^
Eight solid uninterrupted years of watching Wile E. Gaza mistime the dynamite stick or fall off the cliff for the X^299 time and still keep going, and we *dare* you to ever believe any troll was competent, threatening, or genuinely who he was pretending to be, ever again. *Ever*.

The Polio Vaccine of Trolldom earned his name through a lifetime of hard work, incompetence and utter removal from reality, and sad fact is, he never even got inside the real-trolls' hallowed doors that he worshipped so much from afar.
One little wannabe loose-cannon played a part in destroying an era for everybody. :)
