The “Upset the internet” experiment.
The internet is brilliant, and rubbish. Much like a child that was born with brain damage, it can entertain you and sadden you in equal measures.
I shall be conducting an experiment in the coming months. I will register on no less than 10 internet forums, all completely unconnected, and attempt to have myself banned from them within 5 days of registering. I will achieve this by trolling, arguing and generally making myself unwelcome.
Of course, my results will be published on here for you all to look over. It’s going to be brilliant.
“What can I do to help, Bud?” I hear you all ask.
Any suggestions of which forums I should target would be greatly appreciated, for a start.
This may seem like a cruel and callous experiment, but the internet is full of very stupid people that are all easily upset. This is your chance to help me measure just how easily this sort of thing can be achieved. Do your bit.
Upset the internet.
I’ll most likely be selecting 10 of the sites on this list. If any of you faithful readers are already registered on any of the sites, I’d appreciate a heads-up, so I can avoid being exposed or rumbled. Thanks.
“What format will this take and when will we see the results, Bud?”
Once a site has been entered and I’ve been banned, I will give a full report. There will be no exposure of how things have gone until after the five days are up, to avoid the aforementioned rumbling of my account. There will be no obvious username in use and I shall attempt to do this without any breaking of rules, other than just generally being an objectionable dick.
“What’s the timeframe on this and when can we expect the results of your first banning, Bud?”
You’ll just have to wait and see. I’ll be cramming this into my already hectic schedule, and it will probably begin in the next month or two. Don’t get too excited just yet, it’s really just an idea at the moment. Rest assured, dear internet, that you’ll be seeing this start before the end of the year, certainly.
OK, back to work, slackers.

I think it would be more interesting to see how far you can go WITHOUT being banned.

Whatever you do, don’t bother trying to get banned from the Tiscali forums. It’s way too easy. Even nice inoffensive old me got banned after two single posts on there, and I’m one of their fucking customers.
