I did something silly like changed my title to āAdminā or something and claimed I could show other people how to be admins by adding an underscore to their name or something equally as ridiculous. I thought it was too silly to be believed, but a number of users tried it, and a number of mods at the time thought it was legit and were after my head. Someone told me I was close to getting banned, but I guess I had also offered up enough useful posts at that point that I bought myself some time to get cleared of prior allegations.

thanks kirupa I will, right now I havenāt been able to touch it in a week. having a job sucks 
senoculars story reminds me of a job I had, whatever mail client we were using I remember finding out in the from field, if you type anything followed by a ton of spaces the other person would never see your name, just the fake word or name you typed as the from name.
So obviously I sent a bunch of ridiculous internal emails to friends from the āceoā and suchā¦and one day I wrote something along the lines of this guy getting the day off.
However, before I could say anything I saw him open the email, grab his bag and bolt out of the building, he actually went home.
I donāt belong in the corporate world

Hey, anyone remember the renaissance man? Timmytots I think. The nostalgia is thick in this place.
Thatās way funny. Also I think Senocularās āhackā was before my time. I do remember someone writing some script that would pull your profile pic from Facebook and display it in the body of the post, their thread was titled āThe Ugliest User on Kirupaā .
TheCanadian, I absolutely remember Timmytots haha that guy was hilarious and a total renaissance man. He was like developing a website for his furniture store and he did all the modelling for it too haha.

LOL, How could we forget Timmy 
I looked at his site (amazingly still there), but it looks the same as it did back then (from what I remember), I guess no one ever donated for that new computer for Timmy?
That post is from 09, which I think is when I joined. I dont remember him though. haha why did he get banned? I donāt think I ever witnessed a banning here. Sounds interesting
Looks like Timmy got his 27" iMac after all, and found a new home after being banned from Kirupa.
That was good times. Nice to see there are still some old timers . Itās sad but the activity has really died down I suppose thatās the nature of web forums.
Anyone remember Darkmotion? I really liked his work back in the day.
Darkmotion is still very active! You can follow him along on Twitter these days: https://twitter.com/pasql 
I believe I have seen some familiar kirupa names on the starling forums
Hey, I just randomly had an inkling to check the olā Kirupa forums, and stumbled across this gem of nostalgia! Hello everyone! Iāll have my 10 year kirupaversary this Octoberā¦ crazy.
Fun side note: I was just in San Francisco last week and got to meet up with nobody a.k.a. Joshua Jenkins a.k.a. ādouchemodā a.k.a. Mr. StealYoGirl. It was great! I ate a lot of whiskeys and drank a huge burrito, and Jenkins was a true gentleman. My first real-life KForums encounter. TheCanadian, I know youāre jealous.

Iām not sure which Iām more jealous of: that you met up or that you had whiskey. Probably the whiskey.
That is really awesome! I met Josh about 10 years ago in Seattle, and it was THE most memorable moment of my life. Everything Iāve done since then (except meeting Kril and Sen, of course!) has paled in comparison to that event
I was afraid the experience would set the bar too highā¦ I can already feel the effects. Food tastes blander, I laugh less, and I often find myself just staring out the window for extended periods of time. I look forward to telling my first-born child that they are the second-best thing that has ever happened to me.
