Bans around here be liftin' more than a gym rat.

If even permanent punishments are temporary, what stops a child from continuously testing the mettle of an adult?

There's a line, it can be crossed, theoretically there comes a point where it can never be uncrossed, but in practice it would take a long, long time to reach that point. Rusty is (in)famous for his distrust of permanent exile. Vergil wasn't the first to have a permaban rolled back, and he won't be the last. Rusty's penchant for turning away from previous decrees after some thought makes for very aggravating decisions (especially for someone like me, who has always struggled with wanting everything to be absolute and unchanging), but it's also comforting - you know when you're dealing with Rusty, you're dealing with a man.

In the very particular case of Vergil's "permaban", I think Rusty did the right thing lifting it. Not for Vergil's sake necessarily, but for his own. Better to repent of a wrong done to an antagonist, and live with the consequences of repentance, than to carry on profiting off a misdeed.

Could you stop talking about roosty like he's a medieval saint?

I can't imagine this place without Vergil. He gives off that unique vibe.

No. Happy Easter, heathen.

Reading some of Reddit comments about this site are funny but I do have concerns that these people will try to get legal action from the developer to use a DMCA on the mods.

No Alphabets has been here for over a year. And insults their sacred tranny cows which sit higher on victim totem pole. I really doubt its gonna happen.

If you mean the reports, I was more meaning the "Haha you're all nazi bigots and I hate Elon Musk!" posts.

Edit: Forgot to mention proceeded by many "Hello fellow bigots" posts. Damn I miss those posts.

Did some tinkering with the announcement, sorry if you dismissed it and had to dismiss it again. Shouldn't see it for a couple weeks.

Doom guy is kalarion's reaction. Only platinum reaction is the salute, you can recommend new ones in the reaction thread.

You forgot to add that if he doesn't stop you will release his location data to me and he will be raped.
