LOL Well Darren Appanah was a college student studying some sort of viewing habits of different demographics on a particular show. In his case, he did studies of Malcolm because he had to choose a current and popular show. As a result, the Voting Community was the perfect place for him to share his thoughts and opinions as he wrote his papers and collect our thoughts and opinions.
So one of the things that he did was write really really really long and detailed reviews for each of the episodes. This was during about season 6 so we had some real good discussions on eps like Butterflies, Motivational Seminar, and No Motorcycles. Appanah really worked his way up the rep ladder and became one of our most respected members. David actually considered him for a mod at some point; he was in the running with samboo.
Well there were these two other members, names Sully something-or-other, a gay boy from Ireland, and Allison, from Germany. The three of these people were in the chat room one evening discussing a wide range of topics. David and I happened to be testing a new version of the chat room at the time that had "spy" capabilities--that is, we could see what they were saying without them knowing we were there. There were discussing a whole slew of topics and I don't remember the specifics because it moved very quickly but we approached them about a couple of inappropriate topics they were discussing. All three left. Sully never returned, Allison eventually did. Appanah left in a horrendously mad anger. He wanted his account deleted and when David refused he deleted all his posts instead. Every single one of his reviews was gone so our discussions made no sense at all and his valuable piece of literature was lost forever. (Eventually he re-registered, came back, and there was another scandal because he wouldn't admit he had two usernames until we did an IP check and proved it to him.)
