	Ming? Two questions for you... Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

1. When someone is banned on the OT are they banned just from the OT or from all of the Apolyton forums?

2. In the interest of furthering serious discussion on the OT, I had an idea. Start a series of threads called "Roman Emperor of the Day" threads. Each day, (or maybe every other day) I would start a thread to discuss a Roman Emperor, starting with Augustus. Since there were a few hundred Emperors, this would continue for several months or even over a year (depending on how often the threads were every day and how often they were every other day). Would this be viewed as spam just because of the frequency of the threads? I think that there are numerous OT posters who would like to discuss history if there were only some threads about it. Please let me start a series of "Roman Emperor of the Day" threads. If you actively encourage it, they could become a beloved Apolyton tradition of non-spamming historical discussion. Please?

	Got spare money?

2) Try it and see if you get banned . Seriously, I think the threads would fade out fairly rapidly, as people lose interest in them.

	Increase Your PM Length

When one is restricted, which is the normal "vacation" package... They continue to have access to the entire site, they just can't post on ANY of the forums. If somebody is IP BANNED, they no longer have access to the site.

As far as your question on Roman Emperors...
Why don't you have just ONE thread on the subject. If interest is high, maybe additional threads would be justified.

...were there over a hundred Emperors? Of Ancient Rome? Or are you planning to start with the Etruscians and finish with the Holy Roman Empire?
