Well, if nobody knows what happened - I'll just make a story.....ops:

Once upon a time there was this fella called Slunnie (name used to protect the guilty..... I mean innocent.) Slunnie was a hard working fella that was enduring the rejuvinating benefits of school holidays, and using it as time to enjoy, build his project IIa, moderate on the Overlander forum and drink lots of Crownies.
One day, perhaps even on the night in question and the very same time of this alleged incident, Slunnie had been working on his old IIa project.
There had been many hours put into this project, including many hot days in the sun and many late nights. On the night in question Slunnie had been busy working on it, and had come home to relax. Hmmm, check the computer before folding for the night. Well down he sits and starts with the emails.
3 accounts of emails so sometimes it takes some time to work through them and generate appropriate responses, but the hummm of the EvaKool beer fridge is right beside him. Oh, the Crownies were at the perfect temperature! They were freezing but fluid - even the Coke in there had turned into ice! Crack the top of a Crownie and it didn't even touch the sides. Well, the emails were cleared, and then it was time to move onto the forums.
Now Slunnie is a moderator on the Overlander forum, just one of a great team of fellas, and has been for a while. Its sort of second nature in many respects. Well, while perusing the forum, hunting and gathering information in a vain effort to satisfy that insatiable desire for more knowledge about 4WD's and LandRovers he comes across Fernockulated. Thinking to himself - Cool! Ferno's made it over to Overlander, good on him, Slunnie not remembering having seen him on the board before.
Well, Ferno comes on with a bang, great big Ferno graphic in the signature block saying "Move over boys, FERNO is here!"Anyway, unfortunately Sig pics are not allowed on the forum for various reasons, and Slunnie's having flashbacks now of A3, one of the IT nerds "the Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away" in relation to pic sigs. A chuckle to myself - um I mean Slunnie had a chuckle to himself and starts drafting a pm to Ferno asking for its removal. Its a nicer way than just shredding the sig pic. The pm is drafted, which in a nut shell said, "hello, great you're here, sig pics not allowed, cheers". Off the pm is sent.
Then I wondered if Ferno was online.
Well on the front page, Ferno was online and when Slunnie notes that his name is highlighted in green there was this sinking feeling. Shut the fridge door and your not on Overlander, you're on AULRO!
Back into the PM functions and check to see if it was opened. Nope, good, kill it!
Switch back onto Overlander and start a chat in the mods room about funny midnight madness and go to bed.
