BackInTex loves the bizarre. Especially when folks, out of the blue, start referring to themselves in the third person. It makes BiT wonder if an admin hijacked their ID. He is suspicious that way.

Y'all should have a 3rd person day. Sort of like Talk Like a Pirate Day. BiT would love that.

Zach likes to be different, for better or for worse.

I don't know what it says about me, but it never registered with me what the loaded meaning behind that phrase Zach uses was until this thread.

I'm hoping it just says I was unobservant and didn't notice the pattern that he only says it about female contestant/champions.

I just searched the term on his posts and yep, only for females. And given Raff's further info about messages and posts in other places I think the term 'sick' is appropriate.

Zach is not normal, we'll just leave it at that.

OK- if an admin did hijack his account- whether Zach is nuts or not, that's not cool.

OK- if an admin did hijack his account...whether Zach is nuts or not, that's not cool.

A moderator did not hack my account as far as I know. People on the Game SHow FOrum and other game show boards were and are big Zach bashers from time to time, but they never hacked my account either.

Oh, then you're just batshit crazy.

I can deal with that...

Oh my word. Lions and tigers and bears. Yowsers.

I'm the only admin who's really still active on this Bored, and I have much better things to do than hijack someone's account for fun (though I'm sure there are those here who think I do such things). Besides, I don't think I could ever outcreep Zach, he's got the market cornered on winning that cyberial cigar...

I would say stalking people online goes beyond batshit crazy. I was totally fine with Zach's schtick here, and even defended him when people were calling for him to be banned as soon as he registered for this Bored. But RB's revelation casts a whole new light on that, IMHO....

That said, this Bored badly needed something like this to shake the coffin it's been lying in for a while. I wonder if Zach knows TR or Booch?

I have no idea of what a "Cyberial Cigar" (I have my suspicions) is so I googled the definition-I never found it-but the number 1 Google hit is a Zachoran post somewhere.

Huge subject change----Stream of Consciousness--prompted by cyberial cigars #1 Google place

As you may remember-I had aspirations of writing a small book-or further developing my blog about the Africa trip. However, my limited writings show up very prominently on Google when someone googles the hunting area that I was in. For some of the concessions-my stuff comes/came up #1.

After some reflection-that almost becomes a responsibility.Some of the stuff that would make the book unique could have the potential to get people in trouble. Given the nature of what happened with very high Zimbabwean government officials paying attention to the hunt-I would have to proceed very cautiously.

DOn't know them. I had a stalker sort-of in 2001 or so, the Mystery Poster, as they were known as on alt.tv.game-shows(USenet) came in and talked about me being in the South Jersey chat, without giving their screeenname in that chat room. The regulars on ATGS approved in some cases of what that stalker did to try to get me to behave or stop posting there. A few people called him a stalker for having done that.

I checked the Moderator Logs. No one has edited his posts. --Bob

There's only one active moderator apparently, as was said earlier in this thread, and they chose not to edit.

I didn't realize that the current player is a Caltech alumnus. Much as I like Pam and wish her well, I think this means I'm contractually required by my Alumni Association to root for him. --Bob

But is he a cyberial cigar lighter if Pam "wins"?

I somehow doubt Bob''s going to be following her on Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and the like handing out those cigars.

I think I know what's making Zach's SHIFT key stick.

O.K. That there is funny. And probably correct.

The sticky keyboard bit was already done by the late Dave Zinkin in Usenet alt.tv.game-shows in 2002.

[K.P.]

Zach has been trolling every internet forum he's been on since forever. He's never gonna change, and all the attention we're giving him in this thread is just making him bounce up and down in his chair.

If the moderators want to go the Game Show Forum route and ban him, great. If not, everybody should do themselves and each other a favor and put Zach on ignore. Above all, do not discuss or mention him, and above all, do not reply to his posts.

[Vandal]

Zach would get along great with a certain "apparition" on this Bored.

[Estonut]

Wow... I had no idea that Zach was THAT level of creepy. I always assumed he was just a message board douche....

...sitting in the dark basement "rolling his little Portofino."

And you still haven't fixed it?
