This whole thread is just hilarious to read.

Best and last 2012 thread!

Look who has over 1,000 shimmys.... Come out come out where ever you are ASCheerMan, the world is waiting for your shimmylicious debut....

I'm laughing out loud at work and my co-workers keep asking me what's so funny! It's impossible to explain this to a non-cheer person.

My mother bought me a book called 'The Dictionary of Disagreeable English' one Christmas. It's basically a book on grammar and the proper usage for all the commonly misused words. It's like my mother's encouraging me to be socially awkward for the rest of my life I just like words. There's a million and a half ways to say one idea, and I happen to like variety

PREACH, Kristen. It's not easy being as smart and literate as us.

I have kettle corn waiting to be popped ..for the debut of the 2012 shimmy video seen round the world.

I'm at the gym--a place where I still retain some dignity. I'll film it when I get home. And IF I DON'T LOOK FAT on the video, I'll post it.

Can we start calling people out every time we see "I could care less?" It doesn't even make sense, the proper term is "couldn't care less," as in "I could not give any less thought to that idea if I tried."

I have a question (and it's not meant to be attacking, I'm just curious):

What happens when you get banned? Does your IP address get banned or the email that you used? The idea of banning seems somewhat pointless if these people can come back using another user name. Are they given a warning under their new user name to behave? Or closely monitored by the admin? What happens?

As far as the amnesty idea goes, I'm excited to see what happens. I think it's a wonderful idea. I do believe in second chances. And thirds and fourths and fifths. Some people I'm really excited to here from again, like Rich, and others I am hoping they have done a bit of growing up. If not, it'll bring some fun times for the boards.

I think that Kingston had said you can do either - ban a username or ban an IP address, and I think he has said he has done both depending on the severity. But even banning an IP isn't foolproof. Your IP address can change, especially if you're connecting from a phone. You can always access the site from somewhere else.

We could ALL stand to grow up -- banned or not banned. Regardless, the true question is whether or not they understand the reason for which they were banned for the first place. I don't know the specs for ANY of the scenarios, but I bet you anything it's always revolved around using the Fierceboards for a purpose or agenda that doesn't further our sport or that afflicts personal harm on others.

I don't always agree with what I read on here, but I appreciate King's objective of keeping this platform a positive, productive communication tool.

I just found 3 grammatical errors but I can't 'edit' my post right now. I apologize in advance.

You could always keep registering a new user, email, and IP and go through the three day process and then post a nasty thread again and get re-banned... but at some point it seems like having to wait that whole time would just wear you out. That was the idea of the newbie section.
