    Etherwind returned precisely 100,018 hours after his probation began and swiftly resumed the argument

    wtf was that person doing for 18 hours?

      Finally, Etherwind was right. Wraith’s 20th Anniversary Edition didn’t come out in 2016.

      Procrastinating writing the reply.

      He had 100,000 hours of practice.

        🤣 A hundred thousand hours to work on the argument, than another eighteen to perfectly polish up the phrasing

    I imagine he spent the entirety of the ban raging like Dennis Reynolds and counting down the days. “IDIIIOOOTS! IDDDIIIIOOOOTSS!!!”

    The comments are funny but if you read the article he just did it for the bit. Apparently he changed quite a bit over that time and regretted being an angry forum nerd, so he thought it would be funny to do one last post and abandon the account.

    *slow clap*

    I’m glad that I never even touched Something Awful, I went straight for 4chan. A platform that allows moderators to disguise an effective permaban (100kh) as if it was a tempban (“probation”) deserves absolutely no respect.

    Finally, Etherwind was right. Wraith’s 20th Anniversary Edition didn’t come out in 2016.

    AND THEY HATED HIM BECAUSE HE TOLD THEM THE TRUTH.

      SA is just 4chan in a tuxedo. Both are cesspits.

        Not when it comes to the bans. They’re also issued on a whim but there’s that implicit knowledge that you’re going to reset your IP, delete your cookies, and the ban will last exactly five minutes. Even if it’s supposed to last six years (like the time that I was banned for asking “I’m 12 and what is this?”, and the newbie mod wasn’t aware of the meme).

      Reading the article, it seems like the user did, and resumed the argument for the sake of our entertainment rather than a decade of festering resentment :)
