"You are, so busted. Your excellent ping list is called God's, Graves and Glyphs, yet you continue to somehow maintain some victimhood? Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous! You are, so busted."

SunkenCiv had nothing to do with the naming of GGG. This was done by an ex-FReeper named SabreTooth, Ernest-at-the-Beach and myself, a long time ago before SunkenCiv joined us.
(Albeit, GGG probably would have died some time back without the excellent dedication of SunkenCiv...my 'hat is off to him.')

This says 200,000. I couldve sworn it was 20,000, so I don’t know if they moved it backwards, or I remembered it wrong.

Heh, never noticed that one, or its nuking. That big pile of drivel near the top should have been nuked as well.
