OSY has had a grand total of two bannings in its illustrious history. They were both the same person. He got banned, re-registered, and proceeded to do exactly what it took to get banned in the first place: post pictures so monumentally disgusting that they should not be viewed by anyone, ever.

If you don't do that, your banning odds are probably very small.

At my school, you actually have to apply to graduate. As in, fill out yet more meaningless paperwork.

How lame is that? :rolleyes:

However:[code]
