There really wasn't much to it, Mr. 'Hamas' Jenkins. In those days, the veteran posters were mean as hell, rude, and intolerant of any new people. Fascism at its finest. N00bs (sp?) couldn't post what they wanted, start threads, or participate in conversations without being attacked, demeaned, and insulted.
Anyway, several disenfranchised yet daring N00bs (sp?) decided to take over the board and Mr. Phobia threatened to ban everybody in sight which put an end to things pretty quickly. But, in actuality, the movement died out because so many N00bs (sp?) were willing to stand passively by and watch their fellow N00bs (sp?) led to the slaughter thinking it would never happen to them. That unresisting, supine culpability was, by far, the saddest aspect of the entire episode. It is my belief that, had the N00bs (sp?) held together, things would likely have been a lot different.
