I think it's part of our cultural phenomenon of propping up people one moment, only to watch in amusement as they begin to crumble the next.

We certainly can't say the boards are inactive anymore.

lol. How do we attract such freaks? This is a forum for a 10 year old dead game. I'd understand it on a massive forum but why do they bother with this one ?

Some people still live in 2004. Probably because that's the year they were first touched by their father and will never want to let go of that special moment.

Surely using a Dreamcast case to cover his modesty was overkill though. A VMU would have probably done the job.

I wish that someone will remove every single post of spammer and even the whole account.

Done. Will see if we can get some things put in place to prevent things like this in the future.

Great turnaround on that, Pete. I just came back on to add him to my ignore list but now there's no need..

Isn't there a way to put a ban on a public IP address to stop duplicate accounts?

IP banning is only so effective. It dissuades the random spammer with no vested interest in the site, but a sad soul who is obsessed with re-registering can get around it quite easily.

Not saying it ain't worth doing, just that it won't prevent duplicate accounts if someone's desperate enough for attention.
