someone has been spamming forums/old topics with pictures of hitler and stuff like that. I've had to ban/delete posts for 3 new accounts. Who ever it is.. can you just cut it out? It's not funny.

All hints point to Aster. Nobody else around Shireroth is willing to be so unoriginal just to be annoying.

I disabled user registration for now. cause I really want to go to sleep and bring this day to and end.. maybe when I wake up I can actually enjoy my bday.. despite all this crap.. and the 8.5 hours I have to work...

If you can think of a better solution Ari.. go for it...it's the best I could think of in the time being.

I also bet my money on Aster. incognito54 was online, logged out, and then Aster was online.

Come on, that's fairly circumstantial evidence against Aster.

I know he can piss people off and likes to shock people with his 'chan antics but he wouldn't knowingly vandalise historical boards on a nation where he's already disliked by some people. I'm prepared to vouch for him in this matter.

Sure he would. Aster is the only one I can think of that would post shit like that, and he was online at the same time.

Therefore he's guilty, because he's the only one you can think of?
What about this elusive character 'incognito-54'? Or maybe even FIFTYLAUGHS-2?

Ever heard of double logins?

Probably a stupid question: can't it be that it was an automatised bot?

Could be, but I doubt it. The 50 Hitler post is an internet meme of sorts.

Well, you've already made up your mind...there's no point in me trying to convince you that I am innocent. From your experience with me (Goatse thing etc.) I can understand how you would come to that conclusion though.

...However, is your conception of the internet really so narrow as to reference all elements of channery to me? Don't flatter yourself - unlike you, Mallaki, my entire sense of self worth isn't dependent on micronationalism.

I think you should check your coherency meter today, because you have to have hit a new low.

On the Internet, nobody knows you're not an Aster? Anyways, I re-enabled user registration... well, it never really was disabled, just set to confirmation by administrator, but I'm not actually sure where the registration queue is :/

Seriously guys...usually I don't really care about internet accusations from other micronations, but frankly, I've got to stamp my foot down here. I did not spam your forum.

...In any case, the last time I did, it was from my own profile, and I really didn't care who knew that. Why would I suddenly start hiding behind proxies and new profiles? That was just a bit of micronational lulz - not /i/nsurgency.

OK, to be honest, "this guy was annoying and unoriginal" and "that other guy is annoying and unoriginal too" *is* a pretty tenuous connection. So I take back the accusation that it was specifically you. Still, the timing's too good for it to not be someone who's actually connected to Shireroth somehow... well, we'll hope he's had his fun for now.

Aster, don't feel too bad. There was a time when I was considered to be the Root of All Micronational Evil.

People get over it after an ASC millennium or so. :D
