It’s suicufnoc’s birthday today, and we haven’t heard from him in quite some time.
The reason, it would seem, is related to this thread that he started about what appears to have been some sort of pyramid scheme on eBay.
It is a shame he has not returned, but – as sumgai points out in one of his replies – this is a good example of what not to do on the GN2 forum, so I thought I’d bring it up as a reminder to all members.
This is not in relation to any recent events by any member. I was simply seeing who the birthday dude was and came across the thread.
Actually, I may as well take this opportunity to commend GN2 members. This is probably the best forum around in terms of the collective ability to combine technical knowledge with an impressive resistance to aggressive behavior.
We’ve probably all seen other forums that are either “friendly” … but not actually about anything, or a bloodbath where too many egos butt heads.
Not so here. I say “Well Done, GN2!”
... oh, and happy birthday confucius. As sumgai also pointed out, your first mistake is free –
"First time always gets a warning, not even a wrist slap. Second offenses get turned over to UnklMickey. And believe you me, you'd sooner shove cockleburrs up a wildcat's butt with a hot spoon in a closed phone booth!"
With that grim image burned into your brain, I trust that there will be no second indiscretion if you choose to return. ;D
You’re welcome back anytime.
