Busch's team suspended him. What he did had nothing to do with NASCAR,so they were kind of tied as to what they could do.
Howdy, 82Marine89.
It looks like your mod as decided I won't be allowed to hold an account there.
Now that's funny.
Frank Dracman, for one, is funny as hell when commenting on your history.

By the way, I do NOT want TLB back here. I saw him wreck three good forums during these Internet travels and three is enough. (Maybe four. I gave him my last Arron's Rod Forum to finish the job on when I decided to go for a blog rather than a forum for my Internet site today.) Actually there is one good result of Todd's doings however. They led the owners of several of these forums to ban the type of spamming inter forum flame war that Todd practices, particularly Goldi and unamused. (Thoough unfortunately they arent banning ALL inter forum flame wars and I really think they should. It's time to make the Biker Bar and the Cage history.)
82Marine89,
Of course I belong on FR, and I don't ever plan on leaving.
If your mods decide to allow my account activation there, I also look forward to meeting some of you.
There are others on your forum for whom I've different words to say.
Don't listen to them, I love your vanities.
(sigh)
Here are the technical aspects of it I do know.
I know how to set up a MySQL database using PHPmyAdmin.
I know how to use pipes to manuver around in directories.
The pipes are:
| more
for going through a full page of Console screen data and
| less
for scrolling to individual lines.
I also generally know that the application programs in the /usr and /usr/local directories are available to the whole system but those in the /home/[user] directories are only available to individual shell accounts on the machine when one of those accounts is logged on. and that because of this only the admin acount (root) can generally install and de install software (Unless the software is in one of the /home/[user] directories in which case it is the property of that particular shell account) or administer the system. (In otherwords the unix/linux directory structure works pretty much like this forum software except it is for access to the whole system and not simply a MySQL database.)
I also know the basic Linux/unix commands that are required for a desktop as opposed to a server user.
cp - copy file
mv - move file
rm - delete file
cd - change directory
I also have a pretty good Idea how the LibertyPost, FreedomUnderground and FreeRepublic software work from being a programmer and studying GPLed forum software I picked up on the Internet.
Basically with this software our posting accounts are located on an SQL database (probably MySQL as that is the most popular one in the open source orbit right now) and we are given a read-write access to that database account in a similar way that unix/Linux assigns shell accounts to system users with Linux/unix boxes and access to the posting editors and the community is given accest to your homepage. All of your own posts, both articles and comments go into that account allowing the self search feature to work and are assigned to the main forum by article and comment numbers so that they show up there in their proper order.
When a banning (or as they are popularly called a ZOT) occurs the ban command basically shuts of the write access to the bannee's database account but not the read access in this particular forum software. This is probably done by adding the bannee's IP address and/or username to a list in the Admin-Moderator editors provided for that purpose. This is at least how it worked in most of the PHP software I had a chance to study. This action also puts the ban or suspension notices over the bannee's homepage and the posting privelige revocation notice over his access to the posting editors.
While I didn't answer your particular questions I think I've shown my knowledge of both Unix/Linux use on the console and Perl/PHP/Python programming with these two little descriptions. ;c)
You have shown your knowledge level to be that of a novice user.
You're aware, aren't you, that the Feds track the IP addresses of all members of those sites?
Who are they going to keep track of? Toddler? Oh, wait, he's banned from those sites. Nevermind...
