What was "The Purge"...?
Long story short, Percy woke up one morning on the wrong side of the bed and decided to go on a rampage, after which the day shalt ever be known as the EvC Massacre. Those of us who were smart hid behind the bed like little girls and survived. Those who were brave were quickly sniped out of existence.
I tells ya, the stench of death stuck with the forum for months.
Edit.
You registered in early 08. I think it happened when you were here. You probably don't remember because the event was too horrible so you're subconsciously blocking it out.
Edit again.
You registered in February of 08. The Purge happened in January of 08. In other words, you missed it by less than a month.

Re: Question
Haha, ok a little more detail. But I swear, if I got banned for bringing this up, there won't be a place in cyberspace safe enough for you.
People were protesting over a wide range of moderating issues. Back then, we had like over a dozen moderators. And those moderators were constantly being questioned, pushed, shoved, and abused. The forum was slowly becoming a damn democracy.
The Imperious Leader (aka Percy), with his almighty powers, killed (banned) half the moderators and mortalized the rest. So, for a while in heaven and earth Percy was the only one with moderating powers. Everyone who even spoke up with a hint of protest was quickly disappeared... probably sent to some cyber re-education camp somewhere.
When things calmed down a little, 3 previous moderators were gradually reinstated (after they spent some time in the re-education camp of course).
Probably what caused Ned to lose the rest of his hair...

Moose, Ned and Mod...?
Oh, I guess that makes 4.
Is Buz still an admin? I know adminfaith got canned.
Now, I'd pay real money to see ray martinez get turned into an admin

He'd have to ban himself though, to spend more time on his thesis...
Haha, I'd like very much to know what page he put the pyramids as proof of god in his thesis or what chapter he put in his rant about people having god filled spirit or some other nonsense.
I now remember more about what happened. It started with nemjug comparing gay people to kids and dogs. Berberry, I think, went off on it. I joined in after. The discussion turned into a shouting match between the homophobes and the morally corrupt satan worshippers.

Re: Well, I tried to get you to slow down.
Note to self: Don't piss off the moose... I might regret 10 years from now when I stare down a shotgun barrel.
