Today marks the anniversary of Herostratus burning down the Temple of Artemis, a Wonder of the Ancient World, in a bid to become world-renown by any means possible. As punishment, the history mods banned his name from all records and mentioning his name carried the death penalty. Of course he was killed too.

How do we know his name if all this happened? Well, somebody managed to write it down. Moral of the story is that yes, there are people who will still troll with their real names, and they're willing to go quite far.

Well it's kind of funny that you had to reach back 2366 years for an example.

"Herostratus" would be a really cool ingame nickname.

Thanks, I didn't know this! Made me read up again on the wonders of the ancient world as well. Thanks for helping me learn a little every day .

Kind of funny you didn't read the title. Says "first RealID ban". Unless that was added later but it doesn't seem to have been.

Care to come up with another example?

eh.. I don't even believe the story is true.

User was warned for this post

what's the problem with me not believing it's true? you guys read history at all? there's a ton of it that's completely made up. for all we know it was Herostratus that wrote that. all it proves to me is that people have been yearning for stardom for at least 2400 years.

i don't expect you to know what i'm talking about unless you've studied literary criticism on your own. looking up the definition isn't going to help. much.
