Marf is a stalker
of webny99 who
tried to get him banned.

Who thinks Marf should be back on this forum? I never met him, but it would be funny if I did.

Absoultely not. He kept attacking webny99. Quite often, the first post of one of his sockpuppets would be an attack, making it obvious who he was.
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

He might have had others. I believe they gave him an IP address ban, although he managed to circumvent it at least once.

I think he started using VPNs to get around it, and as a result they banned VPNs on the forum.

Maybe in your state.
But here the traffic remains
Lower than normal

Yes it has picked up
Since bottoming out in March.
But still not normal

This forum would be
unreachable from China
should they block access

Since VPNs are widely used in the PRC to circunvent censorship, due to that stalker who kept trying to ban someone this forum would be completely inaccessible from there in the event of a block even if one is used, thus forcing someone to leave that country in order to enter this. Fortunately it shouldn't happen, as we don't discuss sensitive topics about China.

Also, I had a real headscratcher putting that haiku together. Does it need to rhyme anywhere?
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

I just logged on with a VPN active and it didn't cause any problems.

Because you already have an account. You can no longer request a new account that way.

There's some discussion of that here (note you will have to be logged out to view), in a thread started by Babafan23, another Marf sockpuppet (I think). That sockpuppet never made it onto the forum, thankfully.

Here's some I thought of, about a waterpark I often go to in my hometown of KC:

In KC's Northland
There's an awesome waterpark
Its name is The Springs

Right near KCI
It's close to Zona Rosa
Just off 29

Love that waterpark!
It's a great place to cool off
On hot summer days

It's a lot of fun
Two slides, a lazy river
And some diving boards

It doesn't cost much
Just nine dollars to get in
Open noon 'til 8

When it's hot outside,
The Springs Aquatic Center
Is the place to be.

From I-29:
Exit 10 (Tiffany Springs)
Head west, then turn left

Send those to their marketing department, haha.

And a helpful pointer for waterpark fans:

At the waterpark,
Unless you want to get burned,
Put that sunscreen on!

Garden State Parkway:
once serene and beautiful,
now an urban mess.
If you ever feel useless, remember that CR 504 exists.
