thats why they all came with a disclaimer.
No one was banned from dialup totse, even from trolling. They were placed on a timeout where they couldn't start a thread or talk for some time. And even that wasn't implemented as a rule for the first years. You were always allowed to log on and read or play games.
Digital Avatar and another person were the first to be banned from totse. I think around 1999 or 2000. ;) Does anyone remember the other persons name? Digital was a skinny shithead who had to bring friends and run off then go on totse and spew a bunch of BS about the other not showing.
CONCRUD IS FOR FIGHTS! that was a meme for sometime until the end of dialup totse. if you were in fact a totse member during the dialup years. -

Hmmm.. No, I'm sure these 2 never were computer ragers.
"Blake Anderson And Kyle Newacheck, ‘Workaholics’ Stars, Reflect On Concord Roots
Chuck Barney The Contra Costa Times
PASADENA — When growing up as best pals in Concord, Blake Anderson and Kyle Newacheck, star and director of the Comedy Central series “Workaholics,” sensed that a show-biz career was in their future. So soon after they graduated from Clayton Valley High School, they bolted for L.A.
“There was just something in my soul saying that you can’t settle in at home,” Anderson recalls. “We had bigger dreams. And you’re never never going to get attain that dream sitting on your mom’s couch.” Now they’re part of one of Comedy Central’s biggest hits.
Just days ago, they were surprised to learn that the cable channel renewed “Workaholics” for not one, but two more seasons. The irreverent and edgy series about a trio of slacker buddies who work and party together averaged 2 million viewers last summer. It also has attracted 1.1 million fans on Facebook.
The show does especially well with young male viewers, but Anderson says he’s always amazed by the vast range of their fans.
“It’s surprising. You just never know,” he said druing an interview at the TV critics press tour. “We’ve heard from little kids whose parents probably shouldn’t be letting them watch, and older people that you worry about having a heart attack while watching.”
Meanwhile, the success of “Workaholics” has been a big calling card for Newacheck, who has been hired to direct episodes of major network sitcoms such as “Happy Endings,” “Parks and Recreation” and “Community.” Still, his heart remains with “Workaholics,” which he helped create and write.
“I was real excited to work on those shows. It’s a cool experience,” he says. “But it kind of feels like babysitting. I always want to get back to my own baby.” Anderson, who is one of the show’s main castmembers — along with Adam Devine and Anders Holm — forsees a day when they all branch out into movies.
But for now, he’s counting his blessings and looking back gratefully on the day the left home behind. “That was a big key,” Anderson says. “So many parents these days are totally cool with their kids living on the couch the whole time. It’s like a new thing with families. But you’ve got to leave the nest and get out there.”
Season 3 of “Workaholics” begins at 10 p.m. Jan. 16. ___

2017-03-31 at 3:03 PM UTCI'm proud of those kids.
Curious if they were groundlings! -
2017-03-31 at 3:07 PM UTCThe entire userbase and database, except for the text files and some graphic files, were scrapped in 2000. People had to re-register their usernames. Anybody who had been banned at that point would have become unbanned.

dude you're narrowing it down to a year. the last days of dialup. where you there. I mean Jeff Hunter was pissed off at having to move shit from dialup to web base.
this was known. I heard it over and over. but months prior to it going down, Digital Avatar started to show what a trolling crybaby he was.
If you were on dialup, you knew who the fuck Digital Avatar was. most people back then were also local to the bay area. Not all but like 90 percent of the dialup were locals who showed up at "events" -

kind of the same for me. I felt like I was too old.. most were teens. but then there were dudes in the 20s and 30s and even as old as maybe 50 at the time. I only went to a few events.
Concord is an interesting town. Walnut Creek as well. -
2017-03-31 at 3:41 PM UTCI never went to any events in person. The whole idea of The Temple of the Screaming Electron was anonymity. The ability to speak your voice and not be held to any particular race, creed, religion, politics or skin color. The kids ruined all that when the place went live to the WWW.

That's because you are afraid to let anyone see behind the curtain. The problem is the people who once were fooled into believing you are some great and powerful Oz like being are not only not present but would no longer buy that horse shut if they were. -

Exactly, that is what makes SpectraL's reverence for Totse so pathetic. -

We had picnics and a football game and frisbies thrown around. BBQ in a park. I only went to one BBQ and the night in Walnut Creek at Cafe Italiano.
I was maybe 28 and these guys were between 16-22 on average. the half generation below me that the Clintons made sure would learn coding. I learned some basic shit.. never went anywhere. -
