War Sparrow:
"I am too tough!"

My husband tries that one too. I have doubts.

Appropos of nothing, what's it mean when a username has a line though it? Is it a perma-ban, or a "this person has left the forum" note in general? I always wondered, but couldn't find a good place to ask it.

pwhodges:
A struck-through name is a banned user whose account still exists; what you referred to as "perma-ban".  We have a different system for short punishment bans of a few days which shows a coloured triangle under their profile next to their posts.  It is also possible to delete a user account and retain the posts, which then show the account's original name (even it got changed later) but no profile and not as a link; in the past this has been requested by a leaving user.

War Sparrow:
Oh, okay. Logical, thank you.

I have a little time so I went digging around about AI memories & transfers.  The ones I found are from various time frames, and the earlier comics may well be inconsistent with later ones:

59: Pintsize on Marten's desktop
268: implication that backups could be kept, although Marten deleted it
2000: Momo gets a new chassis
3008: Corpse Witch removing an AI drive
3044: Marten has memory backups of Pintsize
3376: Bubbles talking about AI minds

The back-up might be memories only, not a full personality, so you couldn't just transfer that into another chassis and have a copy running around without the "base" program also.
