What happened to swagon?

and while we are on that topic, what happened to midas?

You're born, you take shit. You get out in the world, you take more shit. You climb a little higher, you take less shit. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake, son.

Nefarious-What happened to swagon?

and while we are on that topic, what happened to midas?

Curious as well. And while we're on that topic, what happened to melvvvar?

Midas I have no idea...last time I spoke with him was early February when he posted a comeback blog post that wasn't really comprehensible.

swagon's account was blocked after ignoring repeated warnings for violating the WSO User Guidelines. Same story with melvvvar. We have a pretty lax policy around here, but if you just ignore warnings and continue to shit in every thread made, then you don't really leave us much choice.

 

CompBanker just killing it.
