Aren't board invasions slightly less likely here, since administrators have to activate accounts?

Yes. The "no traceback" rule was primarily created to avoid attracting attention from dangerous places like StormFront, where you might draw attention from genuine criminals and people who are capable of committing murder. Its function in preventing "invasions" is of secondary importance since we have so many barriers to invasion at the administrative level.

Look at Wotc, or TK, or anyother invasions of this/other boards, there's a reason that people are no longer allowed to invade other boards under the SD.net banner, and this is it.
For the record, I tried to make clear in over there this is not an invasion, any perceived invasion is not under the stardestroyer.net banner, and this is the result of a few interested people descending on the forums:

I think I need to point out that stardestroyer.net does not sanction invasions, and in fact is not invading these boards. If stardestroyer.net were actually invading, there would be more than four or five people from there coming here.

Again, I repeat: this is not an invasion.

Apparently, Surlethe, this had nothing to do with you. It's my fault entirely for creating this thread. Apparently, THEIR site was actually traced from here by folks from trollkingdom. I'm sorry if this causes any issues, but I hope these events go over fairly harmlessly...

*shrug* Well, I tried. And, it's not really an invasion, by my understanding of invasion. It's not like someone set up a thread in the HoS saying, "Hey, everyone! Let's go over there and kick fundie ass!" Rather, Zero posted this, and a few of us were interested and went over, without any organization or beck and call.

Fuck em. Like DW said, they can either come over and be educated or flamed. If they have the IQ of a sea sponge then they'll just be banned. *shrugs*

Once in a while we can be thankful that we "saved" these people from the hell-fire in their mind and actually have them live a useful life unhampered by foolish constraints.

I had never even heard of that site. I went in for a quick peek and I'm sorry I did. I have an overwhelming urge to take a very long hot shower. :shock:

A guest by the name of James Bond has turned up. Isn't he a mod on Bernd's Star Trek site? Are they trying to get into another fight this time over science as opposed to star wars vs star trek?

It's actually quite interesting how often I get angry E-mail from people who are both creationists and Trekkies.

Those are all the arguments those asstards can come up with? Meh, I'll bet most of them are still living in Mommy's basement. Nothing really interesting about that particular breed of stupid. They're pretty much carbon-copies of every fundie who isn't old enough to shave.

That's probably that little rat Sendell again. He's been known to impersonate SCN mods on other boards to start riots. The real Bond wouldn't be stupid enough to direct people to the SCN boards, especially since SDN discussions there are immediately locked.

Just ignore him.

This seems to be getting worse. Now there's a troll from Stormfront? My guess is he's impersonated, but I don't know.

At least one has admitted to still being in High School, so he/she hasn't even moved down to the basement yet.
