    It was probably a Rolls. The Toyota accelerates by itself. Doesn't need a driver.

    TroyD...your comment in post #10 is really interesting even though it was obviously a lighthearted remark, given when you made it. Obviously nobody (or very few) knew what was upon us, but still kind of eerie in retrospect, no?

    Blast from the past. A few banned one who moved on to a better forum.
    Some good nuggets in here.

    The Banned users weren't necessarily banned. They just never logged in to the new forums after the switch over so their accounts were locked so they couldn't be compromised.

    True dat.

    Reading through this reminds me of how many people just aren't around here anymore. Some by choice, and some not; hard to believe Mr Grand has been lost for over a year now...
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    I don't think that is true John. Hearingimpaired and the others were banned. I'm pretty sure Dorokusai (Mark) was gone before the vanilla forum. So I'm thinking his would of also said banned as well.

    No, it is entirely true because when the forums switched we asked why long-standing members like TroyD were showing up as banned. TroyD came back, couldn't log in and had to email Ken to get his account unlocked.
