Remember the Great Nuclear Ignore Feature Debacle?
What a strange day that was (I think that's about how long it lasted, too).

I found out that I was on someone's ignore list who I'd never had a conversation with. :rofl:

Fond memories.... :)

1. That was fucking epic as far as debacles go.
Absolutely amazing. At least as bad as anything the primaries could throw out.

Gosh, I could use a refresher of that. Links, anyone?

:D

4. No way!
How could they not leave us at least some locked pieces to laugh over?

I loved that debacle. A trainwreck of the highest order.

:rofl:

5. Someone (still a member) put all the known gay DUers and straight people with "gay" avatars
on nuclear ignore, then bragged about it at that other place.

7. Yeah, but
I still don't understand what "nuclear ignore" was about.

I remember something about "forced ignore" — I guess the mods would kinda take two people and put 'em in opposite corners because they wouldn't quit fussin'.

:shrug:

10. I remember the jokes
I remember somebody put somebody else on nuclear ignore, and then started an appreciation thread for them. They were barred from posting in their appreciation thread!

A million points to anybody who can remind me who these people were. I expect the prankster was probably JVS but I can't remember for sure.
