re: Who do the aggies need to blow to get Loather back?

The only guys that can unban Loather are the admins. So the aggies will need to blow them, or whoever they choose the aggies to blow to bring Loather back. They just did a reinstatement thread a week after he was banned, so it might be some time before it's lifted.

Loather should try some of the request reinstatement buttons. He can log in, try to post on whatever, and then fill out that request form. It didn't work for me, but that's how those admins said they wanted to do this awhile back.
