If this is the only place you post you're not that bad.

When you start creating usernames on animalrights.net or other activists

Does that ban their IP?  Or does it allow the person to review posts or re-register?

Maybe BYOAC and offer a self ban program like the casinos.  Where one can ask to be self banned from the board for X amount of days.
 

There are several ways to do it.  One way would be to change his password.  Or the software has a new 'warning' feature installed that will do anythign from warning, to an outright ban.

Could you simply delete his account?

What I can think of to curb (not quit completely) the BYOAC habit would be....

1) Finish a cab project...Start another one....

2) Find cabs that need measurements taken (Gyruss, cabarets, etc)

3) Build/Add to a game room

list is virtually endless!!

Oh I have no shortage of things I SHOULD be doing. BYOAC and a couple other sites are just distracting me. Kinda sucks to have "always on" broadband.  ;)

Wasn't there an applicable Steven King Movie with James Woods? 

We follow Ray_B around and if we catch him looking at BYOAC....

The first time we make him lick an arcade monitor anode...

Second time ... are you married Ray? :o

Ray, take a 30 day break from here and check out the klov.com forums for a month instead. They are at a slower pace than this one, thus you don't have to spend 19 hours a day to just to keep current.

Or if you want a REALLY fast paced forum then try the "Nongaming discussion" forum on Herogames.com. I have seen threads there get 10 pages of responses in a day.

The movie was called "Cat's Eye".... based on the book Night Shift by King and the story specifically mentioned was "Quitters, Inc"

Haha that'd work for just about anyone.

* DrewKaree sends daywane's wife a copy of his post and Idiot-ProofTM directions on how to get here, along with a sharp stick with which to poke him from a distance

* DrewKaree runs and hides, giggling like a little schoolboy at Neverland Ranch after a few glasses of "Jesus Juice"

this may help keep you off BYOAC for a while:

step 1 open P.C.
step 2 unplug power to CPU fan
step 3 turn on P.C.
step 4 wait.......

 ;)

notice: I missioncontrol recommends this at your own P.C.'s risk

I did what you recommended, missioncontrol, and now my PC is fried!  I blame you for this, and demand reparations due to your shoddy placement of a disclaimer where anyone no one without a magnifying glass could read it....unless.....dammit, nevermind  ::) 

I see you did a "CYA" there....all you big corporations are all alike!

Boycott missioncontrol-cade!  David Foley has been giving him Jesus Juice!

I really like saying "Jesus Juice"....a-hee hee ;D
