Would anybody else know who the hell I was on about though? I didn't want to bore everybody.
Fuck it.
Do you remember El_Gato_Negro? The super-creepy guy who spent all his time trying to be pally with everybody while gleaning as much personal info as he could? He came back, or 're-membered' as they say. That's usually an insta-ban anyway. Nope. He got to stay. He spent all his time in the chatroom harassing me via PM to unblock him on facebook.
However, he was more subtle about things in public. He seemed to put on another new mask and say "oh I'm so sowwy to the admins" and they let him stay. Not only that, he ended up round Mrs_Doyle's house for dinner... twice. This all happened before his new username was even outed as EGN. Even worse, he sent me PMs telling me that he had been outed in the Certs section of the forum.
Yes, there is a Certs section, and it used to be a secret. Now BlackSheep is telling non-Certs what's getting posted in there! Oh yeah, btw, BlackSheep now runs the site, as Clive stepped down back in December.
In summary: Creepy shape-shifting motherfucker comes back as a re-member and gets welcomed by the senior admins with open arms and even gets invited round for dinner. I go "WTF?!" and leave.
