He said it was a joke, but why keep going on about the topic, when he was asked not to?
To be contrary.
It wasn't a good idea to be contrarian on an issue that bordered on the criminal and violated the TOS that I2 has with the server.
Buttcoffee did more than I think he admits to doing now.
He had also posted some bestiality stuff which was deleted before he started this child pornography thread.
Plus Parts talked to him after he started the thread. He said he would stop and then he broke his word, so he can't say that it was just a joke and he wasn't even warned. He knew it was a problem but he was just going to keep pushing until he was banned.
Hostgator has more liberal TOS than almost any other host, but they have no sense of humor about child pornography and they would have shut us down over it.
