Not reading through 83 pages so let me Encyclopedia Brown this: Muppets devise a MOAT when kappa realizes his old banned account is parolee now, removes all bk's / non active muppets from the board to keep it super top secret classified eyes only, kappa pretends to be an original kappa, Muppets call out fake kappa etc, makes it seems like Muppets are imploding, 50 pages later it actually does ends up causing Muppet implosion, purses are thrown for about 20 more pages. Now what it appears to be from what I see on the current page is kisses hugs beers everyone is cool now. Close enough?
Heh, funny, I just responded to a thread about this topic in our squad board. My reply there was very similar to yours. Warning: Copy pasta incoming
I was always pretty certain that the BB Kappa got PNG'ed back when I did way long ago when Hitech started cracking down on the rules for the very first time. Back when the BK's were still in their hay-day, if you can manage to find Octavius he could verify this for me, as we both got banned for making jokes about it during his crack down.
Also, way back before the muppets even existed I flew with both Kappa and Fester and Lazer as well when it was known as the Twin Engined Devils. And I could swear that BB Kappa posted in it with relevant info about what was happening in game and what not. Lazer shouldn't be as hard to track down as Octavius to verify this.
So, what I honestly think is that maybe after X amount of years, the bulletin board automatically lifts the PNG if the violation wasn't super severe, Dude/kappa realized that, and that's how this troll got started.
My $.02 anyway.
