Things have changed since mr. natural and that ilk of mad onion roamed these boards for sure. Mad Onion wasnt always so... stringent. Around 2003 (when my original account was banned...) the forums became much more strict.

Speaking of, anyone remember the advertising debacle over this?

Ah, yes - however as they didn't sell down here is was more of a curiousity. RAM not mmeting the spec's, relabelled RAM and poor customer service or something, IIRC.

I thought you may have been referring to the banner advertising that was a bit of a heated topic for a while - but as I had bought some FM/MO benching suites which disabled it on registration, it wasn't an issue for me either

I'd say things have definitely changed s while things would often get heated back in the day, it was honest arguements, rather than the loser resorting to insults, etc, that would have meritted a stand-down ban for a week or two.
Some of the older guys would remember getting infringements, or bans, for things that seem to be ignored now.
