Hello all, We've recently had some drama revolving around an ex-member creating sock-puppet accounts to evade being banned and disrupting the site. I wanted to take a second to talk about how we handle ban-evasion and in general how we moderate. 1) The ex-member was banned ten years ago for...

I snagged one of these on eBay a couple months ago for a very reasonable sum as I recently got a C500 from a friend. I think it's finally time to test it out :) Will take some pics and let y'all know how it goes. Likely my best random eBay catch in a while. //wthww
