Having a huge amount of posts and your title changing as you hit certain amounts was a big deal then. Many of the Prox admins were together for the Memorial Day weekend at the same time that a group of people on the board decided to start a thread purely for the fun of running up thier post count. At first it was all in fun. The admins would change the titles to different things as people hit certain levels but evenutally the whole board locked up due to the insane amount of posts. The posts would be something like a smiley face or a single word repeated 50-100 times. This was before controls were set for number of posts in a time period.
The admins were spending hours individually deleting posts to try and get the board back up and they were not very happy spending their vacation weekend cleaning up the mess. The board eventually came back up but there were all these accusations of admins controlling posters etc that was led in large part by the previous poster mentioned.
Something else happened not long after that (can't remember exactly, someone here will know) that shut the board down completely and Craig didn't really want to do the neccesary work to getting it back up again. The Prox admins were basically done with it anyway.
Kara then started the "imiss" board that morphed into this one. We've come a long way.
That was the weekend that I morphed from lovinmy2girls to McLovin, thanks to HeyimA :) While I am sincerely sorry to all the admin back then that I, too, accused openly of messing with people's accounts on purpose, etc., that was the best weekend ever. I got to know quite a few posters over the life of that thread that I still talk to and communicate with to this day. You have to admit, from an outsiders POV, the whole number of posts changing constantly was really fishy! lol We knew we had ticked some admin off and were just SURE they were trying to take us back to beginner status! ha I worked HARD to earn my FIERCE status! :P No but really, I'm so so sorry all you admin that are still around for being so openly rude.
