    I was banned from yahoo answers years ago. I miss it :(

    Yeah, now I want to know, and I'm sure I'm not the only one so I'll speak for all the lurkers, how you got banned?

    Also, can't you make a new profile?

    Oh I was a major troll in my day. Made a few enemies. They'd follow me around and report all my answers and my whole IP address got the boot.

    I find this absolutely hilarious. Not because you got banned, that sucks, but because you're seriously one of the nicest people here that I can't even imagine you being a yahoo troll!!

    I wasn't mean or anything lol. Just very not serious and that annoyed people.

    Internet providers may change IP's you can always try again. Or if you sign on from anywhere else.

    I had the same computer for the longest time and just didn't bother with it anymore. It got boring anyways, too many new rules.

    I was on a scrapbook message board that was all sorts of crazy. Between arguing politics, engaging in competitive parenting, and picking apart each other's religions they still had the energy to critique scrapbooking and photography techniques. If they were really on a roll, you could get all in one thread.

    I recall a crock pot thread that was an pile on of epic proportions.

    Kiwi Farms is The Worst. But also super entertaining. So much of my anti-late-night-snacking inspiration comes from their boards.

    I owned and admin'd an outdoor forum and a religion forum for over 15 years, and have been a moderator on two different very popular social media forums.

    This place is nothing.

    I fool myself into thinking I'm safe when I delete it but I know you would be able to find it.

    Very much. But I'm white hat. Pays better.

    I don't think you would find anything that you would be surprised at. And that's all I'm gonna say about that.

    The peeps at MFP are actual care bears. When I was a teenager I joined a writing forum and I think I'm still traumatized from that experience. The forum called itself "cutthroat" but tbh, actually having my throat cut would have been less painful than the condescending vitriol disguised as "constructive criticism" I endured before wising up and leaving.

    Also, most fandoms are brutal. And certain sub-Reddits can be pretty damn nasty, as well.

    And then there's tumblr.

    I loved tumblr a few years ago but there was a point at which things got out of hand. I still log in but I do not comment on things much anymore. I decided kitten pics and shitposts were the safest route there.

    I found the nicest, kindest, most supportive wedding forum on the Internet while I was planning my wedding (unfortunately, it's not around anymore). Any time I'd venture over to the mainstream ones, I'd walk in and walk right back out. Stressed out brides can be seriously nasty people.

    I accidentally followed links to an MRA forum once. THAT was terrifying. That takes a flying leap from "mean people" to "scum of the earth."
