Likely not, imo. I suspect Cougar or Drac may arrive soon and propose the thread has run it’s “natural” course and that perhaps we’d all consider abandoning this thread now so that it may RiP….
Perhaps. But one of the happy side-effects of threads like this is it keeps those who most love to hear the sound of their own, er, fingers occupied in one place rather than polluting the rest of the forum.
it would seem there’s been some sort of bannee amnesty recently??
Not officially, nothing’s changed. The thing with the perma-banned is, generally they never change. A new user pops up exhibiting the same behaviour that got them banned in the first place, they’re pretty easy to spot and get banned again for the same reasons (though of course, we always welcome tip-offs if you suspect someone 🙂 ).
Very occasionally, some characters do reform. Even Shibboleth seems to be behaving himself for the moment. Whether they get to stay really depends on the nature of their past transgressions, some characters are pathological cockwombles and will never return.
