What is the HPH? That whole incedent was before my time. Please explain.
HPH is Husker Power Hour, a Huskerboard run by three a$$hole$. One of them - on HPH - goes by the handle "The Beekeeper". Steve something or other. He's an attorney who wants to be a sportscaster - he entered that ESPN contest a couple of years ago.
You may recall that about a year ago we were infested with trolls for a short time. A lot of threads being locked and posters banned (take a look at the Offending Posts thread in the Board Feedback form for a stroll down memory lane - ugh). HPH apparently - from what we could see on their board - periodically likes to "hit" other boards and try and overwhelm them with trolling.
HPH has a $5/month membership fee, and Chad paid up for one. We started hanging out at the board and the dumbasses were posting their Huskerboard names and antics. Using those lists, we were able to ban a lot of them before they derailed threads. A few managed to post a bit before we discovered who they were.
I can't recall who it was, but one of our members also belongs to HPH, and started sending us PMs telling us about it. We had kinda figured out what was up, but that helped us find out who was doing it.
Here's a list of the names of HPHers that we banned so far - it may not be entirely complete, but it's close:
