Well that was fun, allowed me to get some serious drinking time in

Sounds like a self ban option for 24 hours would work a treat.

its about gilyl thinking hes the big man because in real life he has small man syndrome, he thinks hes cool bannign active forum members like me for 24 hours but we already have the last laugh as all our new years builds got ordered from a competitor instead so spie better put that ferrari on hold and brace himself for some spending cuts

Are you sorry that you missed a ban?

Not at all. I still practice that old technique of logging off.

Boo hoo hoo.

I thought the thread was hilarious

It was fun, however the ban should have been lifted before the new year. If that had happened I think everybody involved would have found it funny.

When it went past that I thought it was an excessive show of power, especially considering there were about 100 people involved.

Even if you didn't find it funny, everyone posting in the thread knew what the deal was, hardly an issue.

The thread was fail though, wasn't even funny.

Gave me chuckles the whole time I was banned, even when I wanted to question the forum - your sense of humour's obviously missing a few links in the chain

I actually bought £2k's worth of components from a competitor because I was under the assumption the ban extended to the store itself.

It didn't extend to your linked store account, however it did mean free shipping was removed for those of us who qualify for it.

Finally! Need help with a computer, go to post and discover I'm still banned.

You couldn't be further from the truth actually. Having met Gilly in real life, you know the one where you go out in to the open air and don't hide behind your keyboard, I can make that call.

If you really are that sad and pathetic you can't take a joke, when everyone else can, perhaps OCUK could do without you on a permanent basis? Don't let the door hit you on the way out eh? :rolleyes:

Yeah, it was a bit of fun. I felt it went on far too long, but it's only an internet forum. I don't believe I'm scarred for life.

I was beginning to get worried that the ban may become permanent

Exactly. Also, the first repliers had already been banned, so I knew exactly what was coming
