Well, the Spam vikings aren't as readily identifiable as Arthur. Here's a cropped version, but quality of the original plus another round of jpg hashing leaves something to be desired.

Maybe someone should come up with a "Guess who's the real ming" or a nine headed ming avatar.

Lol, whilst I was reading your OT thread it, ahem, disappeared.

MtG apparently has trouble acknowledging the truth. It was a great read so it is to bad you missed it. Maybe I will make one of those avatars I spoke about earlier just to rub his noise in it a little. I guess we'll wait and see.

I'd be careful.......you might be censored totally next.

In fact it may well have been considered.....after all the powers that be are being very tight lipped......but they might not want martyrs like the intrepid reporter Oerdin.

Yeah, with 70+ posts I'm sure they'd like it to disappear. Fortunately, I think just about everyone knows about it by know.

How far did you get into the thread?

1 page only. It doesn't matter though......I'm sure Mark and Dan will release a statement when they are ready.

It was good stuff. It talked about Rah and Ming getting drunk with Che, Loinburger and three others at Mings house in Chicago on New Year's Eve. Plus it spoke about how Ming and the other's signed on to Apolyton, using Ming's I.D., as the Nine heads of Ming and played games with Tassadar and others; having them guess which of them was the real Ming and closing threads as they guessed wrong. Loinburger, who was there with Ming that night, even told us who the nine heads were plus a danish poster told us what exactly happened.

I don't for the life of me know what they are trying to hide. What's the big deal? Almost everyone knows now. I'd still like to know if Ming and Rah have just temporarially lost their moderator powers or if they have perminently been put out to pasture.

Start a thread "Can I be the new replacement moderator?" and see what response you get.

Looks like I won't have to after all since Ming has now regained his powers and has been seen closing threads. I posted a thread about it but it seems to have been deleted. Not unexpectedly but still...

Damn! Just after I made a witty reply in that thread

I think they are going overboard with all of this. Just a simple explanation would stop it all, but then again, this is not a democracy, of course we are entitled to our opinions, we can always take it up with the owners and we could always go post on other forums...

I guess it's hard for the powers that be to admit they made a mistake

I do hope some statement will be forthcoming. It is obvious that posters curiosity is unwanted......I'm sure most would agree to shut up if Mark or Dan made a clear statement, perhaps with threats for those who might not let sleeping dogs lie.

On a side note, it looks like Hueij's and DrSpikes avatar are open windows looking at the same person - one at the feet, the other the face.

A prize to someone that can come up with the middle.

P.S I lied about the prize.
