Wikipedia reckons 1979 to 1986: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Egg_Race

Yes. That sounds about right. It started off with rubber band powered egg carrying racing machines & got progressively weirder as time went on.

It was worth it to get rid of the tedious sockie.

I just hope admin can use ip addresses and ban the master.

Then I'll get banned.

Happened to me on a few other forums due to dynamic IPs.

IP address bans haven't really been any use since the 1990s. In a lot of companies, all web access goes through a proxy on a single IP address (I once worked at a place where that proxy was in Spain, which really screwed up sites that tried to guess where you were). Using a phone, tablet, mifi, or suchlike, you can change IP address every minute by disconnecting and reconnecting. Then some random stranger gets the ban if they happen to visit the same site. And even my home always-on broadband connection changes IP address sometimes - after a several hour outage last year, I've got an IP address which is in loads of GeoIP databases as being down near Zeity's neck of the woods.

Good riddance - I've been wondering how that rather boring sockie lasted so long. Do we reckon he was from the same stable as Gricer? It didn't smell like one of the usual AussieLong types.
