It would be cool to have it play during the pre-show and what is the deal with battlefield 1942?

When JakeSnake first made an appearance on the forums, he had a nasty habit of derailing any and every thread on the forum with a request for the Battlefield 1942 theme. As you can imagine, we weren't too happy about it, particularly when he started picking a fight with a couple of the senior postmonkeys when they confronted him about it.
Cut a long story short, I stepped in, told him what he was doing was against forum rules, banned him for a week, he did his time graciously and then came back a changed man, posting like a normal forum member. Its perhaps the only time I've ever needed to place a temporary ban on someone in the entire duration of my time as a moderator, and I'm very much grateful that, despite the unpleasantries at the beginning, it all turned out with a fairytale ending!

Mostly ;p

He didn't need to put a ban on you, Terraguy. He just felt like it.

Wow, that's the only time, eh?
Well, crap, now I feel even worse about the whole ordeal.

Wait....when did Terraguy get banned? I'm guessing way before I got here.

A good moderator never reveals his secrets! Takes the magic out of it!
