I'll donate a hundred bucks to the site if you can find the original Applebees threat. Applebees. . . . Parsippany. . . . contrary to popular belief it was NOT joanmayone. That would be a great find.
Oh god , it looks like a late night for me....dog got a bone now. Do you remember roughly what year? 2005??
Yeah, that sounds about right. The guy kept coming back with five or six usernames like Michael, MichaelII, Michael III, etc. His final thread was in the BS Forum, entitled something like "Haha, I made it back again."
DEMichael88 was banned on May 6, 2004. He returned several times over the next 24 hours as DEMichael888, DEMichael8888, and DEMichael88888. Very original. He came back one last time on May 18, 2004 as DEMichael9 and was quickly banned again. His challenge was either on May 6-7 or May 18, 2004. How's that for narrowing it down?!
It definitely was NOT 2005. I started here in Oct. 2004, and the Applebee's thing was shortly before my time. I remember because folks were rehashing it for shiggles, and it kept coming up constantly. There was confusion even back then whether that mayone character with the wiener dog and the Applebee's threat came from the same guy, which means both wiener guy and the rumble in Parsippany were probably in 2003
Sorry to say, but it doesn't look like its alive anymore, least not in a readable format anyway. I'll try some more though
