This thread is up for three reasons: first and foremost, P_I has been missing for two months now. Two damn months, people.
Second, because he isn't around, many of us have been acting in his stead in countless threads, remembering people to take a look at the posting guidelines (all of us failing hard, as we lack the style... ).
Third, I just loved the Is Caelic on "Vacation" ?! thread, if you haven't noticed.:D

Where are thou, brother Phoenix?

Phoenix Inferno changed his name to 22_Over_7 or something like that. (Get it? 22/7 is approximately equal to PI.)

What's funny is I actually made note of 22_Over_7, in a good light. It all makes sense now. I also made note of the significance of the name, but pi being P(hoenix)I(nferno) never clicked...

Also, why change accounts? Unless you get banned I don't see the point. My account name's pretty lame, but I won't change it, I just don't see the point.

I'm pretty sure PI didn't actually get banned. I am pretty sure he switched over to 22/7 (what with moving his PbP characters and all). The only question is why.

Somebody else was using his avatar, so he figured he'd start everything from scratch. :P

BTW, LogicNinja, which specific comic is that from? I think it's a Frank Miller one, but I don't know which one.

From All-star Batman and Robin 2, IIRC.

P.S. You know, it's possible PI could have been banned. Which would mean that trumpeting "LOL NEW ACCOUNT" isn't the best idea.

I think I remember him getting in some deep trouble not too long ago for being too offensive to a new poster.

Meh, I made a new one a while back, but never really used it.

You just called it a handle, so at least person is, even if people aren't...unless you're several people.

But I would second the request for a link to the supposed "too hard on someone (even for PI)" post.

Handles. There, plural.

I third the "P_I being too hard" thread. Not because I doubt it, but because I will gain incredible entertainment and satisfaction reading him verbally (is it verbal when written?) beat the crap out of someone. I'm a sadist, what can I say?...

Heh, I used to have a handle. That was back in the BBS days, when I played way too much tradewars. Different handle, though, since I was a young.

Sixth-grade Pfooti who thought computers were neato: MEGABYTE (all caps, of course).
Suitably angsty Pfooti: The Bearer of the Bloodstone. Really long handle. Got reduced to BotB, pronounced Bob, when it was necessary to pronounce it.
Pfooti who just discovered TMBG: Blue Canary
On ebay, I'm Wembley-Fraggle, ditto Slashdot. Don't ask me why.

But now, I don't have a handle. I have an avatar. The auratog is my totem.

Or it could be the huge dive in new crunchy content, making innovation on this board increasingly scarce, and thus increasingly boring.

Then again, PI didn't seem to be as much of a crunch-addict as I am... was.... still am.

If PI got banned then I'd like to see the thread that got him there.

Also, how certain are you that 22_Over_7 is PI? 22_Over_7 strikes me as a different personality.

Because, personally, I thought PI was just taking a break before 4e. You know, saving up the energy for the inevitable surge of "MAK ME SWRDMAGE PLZZ!!!1" posts we will encounter in just a couple more months.

(Yes, I know the Swordmage isn't coming out until a couple months after the core books. You get the point, so don't be stupid and act like you don't.)

If he did get banned, which I doubt, then this would be the thread that did him in. I think it was just a warning, though.

As absurd as it might sound, I'm actually concerned about public image. That said, I have two different account names I log in under. The first is a reasonably well respected member of this board whom I post under only when I am absolutely sure I am correct about something. The second name (this one, naturally) I post under when I am not certain, or I have a question about something, or otherwise expose my soft newb and nugat center.

I'd tell you who, but then I'd lose the afformentioned respectability based on neurosis alone.

Nah... that's just a n00b asking for a Soulknife. P_I has mocked them before.

Besides, he was actually in-line with the posting guidelines as written if I remember them correctly.

And this thread is my new evidence that 22 Over 7 is Phoenix Inferno

Looks about right.

Also, I have been here many year now, always under the same name. Before Xeraph, back when I played Action Quake 2 (the awesomeness was endless) I called myself "Mantis". I thought too many was called Mantis, so I switched to Xeraph... then came Matrix the Movie, now everybody is called Xeraph.

Awesome
