I recall that day fondly, like the birth of a child or winning the lottery.

James and H2C had been hounding Smartt all over the place, mostly in some crappy thread he started in the "News" column. His responses got angrier and angrier as the afternoon progressed (yes, I stayed and watched), you could sense something was going to happen--Smartt meltdowns were always fun to watch.

Then Smartt appeared in the Cage and issued his threat. There had been some "Smartt rules" that the mods and admins went by, so while I am searching for it, boom! Smartt sets off some automated script to find words on the page and make "fuck you" threads out of them...one of the reasons why there is a "Fuck Cindi Loftus" thread. Within ten minutes Mullah Malice shut down the website, the Cage was read-only for the next 3 days, and Sergio Martorelli, the Brazillian baby rapist that he is, was gone for good.

And before you get on the "quit being a nostalgic dork" kick, screw you. I like nostalgia. It reminds me of the time when I only drank twice a week, could swim five miles a day, and typed a 75-page thesis in 26 grueling caffeine-fueled hours.
