I was also also once banned from a forum for a few years. I kept going back there, never created a new account. Just waiting for the years to pass. It was not some crusade to get back, I was just curious and every few years when I would remember, I would check out the site. Until one day the site disappeared. It would have been fun to be able to log back in and just say "I am back".

I used to get banned from a forum, would use vpn to create a new account and identity with a new character and be a helpful poster until I had access to the social part of the forum and would immediately make a hilarious post with “I am back”.

There's a few of these characters in every SA-like forum, in a portuguese one, one of the major memes of the forum is that 99% of the accounts were alt-accounts (or "clones" as they were called there) of this one guy that was an edgy meme lord - for the same reason - avoiding bans. This thread reminded me of so much lost lore.
