Oh, ok. I've only been here for a relatively short while, I thought the ZOT was older than that.

The ZOT became necessary as FR's popularity increased. We used to be able to handle trolls and jerks by out-lasting them on the threads, but there got to be so many hit-and-run posters it was getting distracting.

I don't remember when the first ZOT appeared, but I think it was within the past year. That might be a good Friday night thread -- "The Origin of ZOT."
