                        the 229 thread was an in-joke between a number of forum members that spawned an additional number of other in-jokes, that eventually spread throughout various threads in the forum. A few people got angered over what they deemed "nonsense" and the participants of the in-jokes defended themselves and the fight escalated from there. The arguments got so out of hand that Aaron Skinner deleted the entire Odds and Ends forum, as well as any threads pertaining to the subject. A number of members were banned in the process, but I dont know who. It has become a touchy subject since.

                        Now that I'm here, where am I??
