      Your right... that's interesting. What board does he hang out at?

        He was banned a long time ago, but not before setting the current record of 8,000+ posts. He never removed his account TMK but now it's gone.

        EDIT: He was a true Sage, but he was banned for being a total fruitcake.

        EDIT II: Never mind, GX1_Man broke the record! :o

              I don't remember him ever being crazy. Actually, more of a helpful person....
              It could have been a hidden sense of crude humor I didn't know about (...)  :o

                I left the forums for three or so months not too long after joining. When I came back, Merlin_2 had just been banned (and I was just in time to see Raptor quit). So I don't know what happened there. But before he left, Raptor had some fun...

                He posted as a Guest and called himself "Merlin_2" and told everyone to "f**k off". This was actually Raptor playing a joke, but the Admin IP-banned who he thought was Merlin_2. It turned out that he had IP-banned Raptor. ;D

                (He was un-banned three days later, but he later quit because he didn't like the "upgraded" YaBB 2.1. (speaking of which, the Ex Member bug never happened on the old version TMK. :-? ))

                More of a suggestion to beat the ex-member bug.

                Why doesn't whoever creates the threads back them up, Copy and paste to notepad or whatever and Then if its hit then it can just be restored, Whoever is the ex-member will hopefully give up and leave.

                  Not quite. Merlin_2 was originally just plain Merlin. There was a profile snafu and he signed back on as Merlin_2 and continued using that name after the errors were corrected. Raptor never posted under that name. He never saw a reason to hide behind another moniker but did post as a guest on a couple of occassions. That was Raptor's joke, and he always admitted to the posts. Merlin began posting cryptic, unintelligable replies to almost everything and the situation deteriorated to the point that he was banned.

                    I did do that with a lot of the FAQ Solution Database, but most threads aren't essential to the forum's survival. ;)

                    2k_dummy: Oh, OK. I wasn't around when it was just Merlin, so... anywhoo, the point is he was banned for being insane. :)
