17. Oh, I was so upset
I wrote them this heartfelt, sobby e-mail in which I told them how much DU meant to me, listed all the rules I might have broken, apologized for them, and basically kissed major boo-tay.

Dang it, now they have a signed confession! :)

21. Wish I could
I didn't save the letter. It was pretty funny, looking back, and I'm not afraid to laugh at myself, nor to let others point and laugh a little, too.

However, I wonder how many of those begging e-mails they got, and how many people are on their absolute best behavior now?

22. We should post a sobby "I am sorry" thread Lounge.
Make up ills that we have not done and see if we get any bites.

If you post, I'll respond.

"I am so sorry Skinner, I really shouldn't have charged all those Pay-Per-View boxing matches to your credit card. I promise not to do it again. Please, please let me come back! I really am sorry. Really."


On edit: I'm gonna go eat dinner now, so I may not respond right away.

19. Yuppers ...
I'll be stealing that line, thankyouverymuch. :-)

I got kicked to the front page and a login screen after posting a message, and then I couldn't reply to anyone for a few minutes. Never got banned exactly, but I was definitely in :wtf: mode.
