or, he had such a massive post count - 17k! - that averaged out even to this day, it's still an impressive number.  he was one of the early joiners, so he got a head-start.

The forum vs Catholic University feud, where Vansmack was doing some detective work on who was posting.

Totally forgot about that.

It was Murder City Devils where the band walked off the stage…  I managed to find this description of it. 

"At one memorable concert, 25 minutes into the first set, the security staff at the 9:30 club in Washington, D.C., ejected a concert-goer, saying later that the man had thrown a bottle. The Murder City Devils stopped the concert and refused to play again "until our friend is let back in," according to Joe Heim of the Washington Post. Management refused, and so, after apologizing to the rest of the 300-plus crowd, the band packed up their instruments and left. Moody explained to Heim afterwards, "the guy was mellow. He wasn?t doing anything and they should have let him stay."

im guessing I was gone for this? Details?

The exact details are a bit fuzzy, not exactly sure what sparked it but it was over abortion.  And that smackie ended up finding some pretty specific poster info.

Other Epic Threads

The kid who was ejected from a Dream Theater show for dropping a cup with ice in it from the balcony into a trashcan near the soundboard.  Who later created another profile and started posting as his dad.

The show where some band refused to play the rest of their set, because someone was ejected for "rolling" a bottle on stage and wasn't allowed back in. Which became even more epic because the band didn't get paid for not playing all of  their contractually obligated set length.  I believe the thread was along "Tonight the heart of kids was destroyed".  Murder City Devils possibly?

The meltdown when The Walkmen had sound issues at the start of their set, even Twangirl had to weigh in on that one.

The reaction to the less than positive Post review of the first Arcade Fire show.

The forum vs DCist feud, started over them posting presale codes on their blog.

Interesting.  Sad that I missed out on all the fun threads.  On the Arcade Fire thing: who reads show reviews? I don't think there could be possibly anything more boring.  As Arcade Fire is the greatest live band in the world (well after Muse) hopefully the author has been fired by now.

Smacky is pro or anti-abortion? Not that it matters, I guess. I have recently become anti-abortion after realizing that we need more people to support me when I reach social security age.

flawd is probably my fave poster of all time.

im proud of many things since ive been here . . . being openly gay, oh who am i kidding, being overly opening gay, the overuse of cat pictures, the overuse of commas, meeting nkotb, having a friendship with a person who usually we dont see eye to eye (you know who).

Nobody is pro-abortion and using that nomenclature depicts where you stand on the argument.

Smackie is in favor of a woman's right to choose, but that wasn't the point of the thread.

I nominate chauncey gardener or whatever his name is… he hasn't had a bad post yet…. he doesn't post often but when he does look out

Yeah, I don't remember what started it either, but somebody came to the forum, shockingly a tangent broke out, and a discussion on abortion started.  Generally speaking, I sit out most online political debates as I have find them pointless to everyone's true aim, which is to convince the other person to change their mind.  I do however, correct factual inaccuracies from time to time, so I follow along.

Originally, I assumed this was another Rhett and Celeste troll exercise to cure boredom, but within a half hour a number of other new folks joined in the fray and Smackie's spider senses sensed a conspiracy.  Through the old board technology, I discovered that they were all probably sitting in some dorm room or computer lab at CUA and did some cyber sleuthing.  I kept that quiet until they pretended as though they weren't in cahoots, but instead were doing us all a favor and saving our souls. I posted the first name and major of the OP and threatened I would out the rest of them if they didn't find some other sandbox to play in.

They left.

No, he's still on the board, but Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer is a dead account.

And truthfully, if you add up all of the accounts Rhett/Charlie/insert name of other account here, his total post number would be a number none of you would believe.
