Re: Bbb23 admin abuse
Bet he makes a comeback to do some token admin functions just before his admin privileges expire. Have taken great delight in undoing some of his posts. What a tosser.

King kong92: A failed comeback
King kong92 registered in 2006, at the age of 14, thus somewhat immature. They lasted 4 years on Wikipedia (with intermittent inactivities) until an indefinite block. Back then, in the 2000s (a.k.a.
