Major News:

    What began as as a simple annoucement with a warning has elevated into an all-out spamfest at the Apolyton Off-Topic forum. Enraged posters are doing their all in order to strike revenge at the moderators.

    In responce to the slower loading times of the ACS forums, the administrators have created a rule limiting threads to 150 posts. At that time, the thread would be locked and the posters were free to start a new one on the same topic. The rule was fair enough, and only limited threads that regurally became very large, such as Mao's Coffee Shop.

    However, the moderator's made their fatal mistake: Ming attached a warning that anyone that posted in that thread would be restricted, no questions asked. Several clueless posters tried to discuss there and were banned immeditly. Enraged at the unjust treatment of their fellow posters, more people protested there and were banned as well.

    Soon, no one cared about the 150 post rule: this was about tyranny and harsh treatment. People posted in the forbidden thread just to spite the moderators, even though they knew they would be banned. After 67 replies, the thread was locked, with 39 logins disabled. The carnage had ended, but the memories remained. May 6th goes down in history as both Black Saturday and Seis de Mayo.

    The banned and their supporters are organizing underground and open resistance movements. In the name of security, plus the fact that this reporter does not know all of their locations, none of them will be posted here. However, evidence is easily seen on the Apolyton forums themselves: double logins ravage the forums.

    Here is a list of the 39 logins restriced because of posting in THE thread. Some may already be unbanned, and others were banned afterward, but these are the heros of Black Saturday:

KarstenWilli, Matt Higgs, Jesus Egg that Wept, MikeH, Masterbob, Andz83, Faboba, ghen, Atahualpa, Cybershy, MarkL, Cthol, Djugashvilli, Coug, Nimrod, Empress, RainbowJDS, connorkimbro, Giant Squid, Lyricist, Legman, Moroteuthis Robustis, Herr Glockenspiel, Talon2, Renwaldo84, UEC, Fight Like A Brave, L. Pelagi, Fjorxc, Thucydides, Ghost Ham, Lancer, Jasonian, The Mad Monk, technophile, DarthVeda, Boshko, The Brain.

    Further information will be given as the situation progresses.

• The 150 Post Rule Thread (THE thread)

    Inspired by his work creating news articles for the GAPR, Jasonian has opened up an entire online newspaper for the Flying Islands of Jasonia. This newspaper will hopefully inform and unite the citizens, giving growth and activity of the nation.

    The online newspaper will be updated by Jasonian, as part of his job as infrastructure. However, the Ministry of Information officially controls it.

    "As long as the citizens contribute some articles, this newspaper will thrive." commented Jasonian. We shall see if his hopes are realized.

    To submit your own article, post about it in the Palace Datalinks forum. Anyone, not just citizens, can do so.
