'she' sent me a 'i'm new, whats going on' message which I deemed as harmless, tried to reply but her inbox was full. Then I forgot about this user until I joined another forum last night and got the self and same message. What can I do about this?

When did you get that PM? The profile says that person hasn't been online since April 15th.

My brother joined around that time, he got it. Can't quite remember his username. dunger or something. I thought is best to not mention him.

I received a pm from her one or two months ago with a link of a Buddhist site; patricia dot something; the site is totally harmless but still I had the doubt it was a bot so I reported it directly to the Boss Tosainu. ;)

Here is the message without the Link:

Hi,
I'm new here, how's it going?

"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things as a meaningful unity" - Albert Einstein

You are right. I'd like to know why this term was used by the admins.

Because once you have been instaggibed there is no coming back...

The writer/creator of the script that enables the instgibbed feature in our vBulletin forum software decided on the name.

When TosaInu installed that script, I presume that changing the name was not possible without parsing through all the code bit-by-bit (which might disable the code accidentally), so he just left it.

Well, this site was/still is hosted on the Telefragged Network, am I correct?

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

Telefragged (now known as AtomicGamer) only provide and manage the hosting. I believe they also provide technical support/fixes should something go wrong (such as a database crash), but I would presume that they are not there to provide assistance under other circumstances. Everything else, including vBulletin and all it's add-ons, are third-party and are not in any way affiliated with them. vBulletin is made by Jelsoft Enterprises and most of the add-ons, including the old warning points system, are created by volunteer third party coders.
