===Spammer of 1997===
*Dustin "Spiffy" Goeller for his "Party while Tybalt's away" thread, which I sadly missed. This was only one of his numerous offenses... I believe I've tempbanned him twice.
*Tendo Nabiki for the "Which are the best fanfics?" question, which brought partisans out of the woodwork and nearly crashed the list.
*Damon Casale, instigator of the infamous "Evolution" and "Split the list" threads. Damon is also a tempban earner, more than once. And runs the Spam ML. Truly, a great one in the field of bandwidth wastage.
*Emperor Stephen "The Mega Man" Schulter, for numerous acts of petty ego and stupidity beyond count. Never tempbanned him, though in retrospect I should have.
*Dr. Thinker, a misnomer if ever I heard one, for his assassination of Lurker. It's a little known fact that he had previously been banned for being a smeg several months before. Not so much a spammer as a troublemaker.
