This is probably aimed at veteran posters. I've heard about the "Jew Leip" incident from a few years ago, which sparked that classical thread in the Atlas board, entitled "Unban NixonNow".

It was when Mike Assad AKA NixonNow went on a rant about Dave Leip. He's a sample of it:

That name sounds VERY familiar.
Was he a John Cena fanboy?

You know, Obamaisdabest, if a poster got banned for posting that about Dave Leip, repeatedly quoting it isn't a good idea.

Xahar's "hacking" and slap on the wrist is in the top 5.

The "troll wars" involved 4 of Straha's 4chan pals joining and being disruptive, and it was IIRC right on the tail of the Ogis mess and the banning of Xahar.

Yup, god yup. There was utter bloodshed. I remember I once saw a poster banned in front of my very own eyes. And it desensitises you to it once it happens in front of you.... you just don't care anymore. Rild, Pravda, Ogis, Straha... all names committed to the dustbin of history through their brutal deaths at the hands of Atlasian forces.

So to answer your question, yeah, I remember it Tongue

I don't remember the troll wars.  Shows how much I pay attention.  Who were the trolls and where was this war fought?

Yeah, the "troll wars" have been embellished a lot in the telling.

What exactly happened there? I remember when Yates joined, but I think I was on hiatus when ... whatever happened happened.

"Trolls wars"? That wasn't controversial. Just annoying.

Told everybody rather convincingly that he had been diagnosed with a brain tumor and didn't have long to live and thus left the forum.  It then came out that he was some poser from Florida with a perfectly fine brain (except for maybe the manipulation and lying centers, which seem to be bigger than normal).
