It was once easy to revolt at forums π you once were able to use about twenty machines to slow a server right down - I don't think that works anymore - I have access to a couple of hundred though πhifty: π
I don't think with the improvements to servers and bandwidth this works anymore π oh for the good old days π can't even be bothered to try anymore.
I think the supposed "police state" that's apparently in effect wouldn't be percieved as much, if so many sad, banned members weren't coming on and creating sock accounts. Were it not for those people, there wouldn't be so many people with the word 'restricted' under their names...
Besides, the mods aren't banning everyone that deserves to be banned. So, it can't be a "crack down".
