It was hard to keep up with moderating the traffic when you could only post once a minute. It was so hard to convince Al to get rid of it too. But he couldn't feed the hamsters well enough to keep them alive. I think it was too costly to replace them as often as we were making him.

I don’t even think it was Al that killed that for mods… it might have been us first generation admins, because the smods and up were exempt from it either shortly after Zell and I were added, or right before we were. I wanna remember us using splitting threads as one of the examples for allowing mods to bypass flood control.

You could be right, though I swear that was removed before S-Mods and Admins were a thing.

Smods were around when I registered in October of 2001 and there was flood control all the way up until after I became an admin when Al made the “final” upgrade to a whole new server. Whatever he did to the server after that was after I had already left in 2005, but I know I hit flood control all the way up until I was an smod. That’s one of the reasons I would get roped into helping in C&C, because I could split threads without flood control stopping me.

I didn’t get into the post count race until much later and I only caught up because Alu, Majin, and @Kat took long breaks and sonic left completely. I was a compiler
It was so hard to catch Sonic in posts! As soon as I got close, he started posting like crazy. Damn flood control made it so I couldn't post any faster than him, too.

Maybe timeline is my problem. GW must have predated 2000 for me. It was WoW I joined in 2001. I thought GW was in 2000, but I must be off on dates

I know you had a 2000 registration date, but I know you had two different names, so maybe different accounts? I know you had T-Bone with a weird “B” and then you had plain T-Bone.
