Yup, he's annoying, his art sucks, and he was never funny. The only good thing I can think of is that his drama didn't spill into every thread all the time.

In older videos (the retsuprae videos he guests on, for example) he speaks in a normal voice, though he claims THATS the fake voice and high-pitched squeaky is how he naturally sounds.

Shmorky's a weirdo but generally alright and a decent animator, especially considering he does all his art with a mouse.

How Is Babby Formed alone has had more impact on the internet than the entire rest of this dead gay forum put together. Shmorky is doing animated bumpers on Adult Swim here and now and making a living off of Patreon while Lowtax struggles to get enough views to push their youtube videos into the five digits and begs Notch for handouts for owning the website that invented Let's Play.

Best of Weekend Web is one of the greatest things SA has ever produced, and I still think some of his work like Chufflebells is hilarious. But yeah, Shmorky's art really stagnated after a point, and how many series (or individual cartoons) just flamed out into Zalgo nonsense when he got bored/didn't know how to end it?

If I recall, Lowtax said that she was fairly normal until Shmorky got her involved in social justice and told her to stop taking her medication.

And when the cops were called he told them everything was fine while mouthing "help me".

Schmorky's art/animation style is pretty much just John Kricalfusci's style with less detail. I see it everywhere, like every loving flash animator these days uses the same lovely Diet John K style, but Schmorky was doing it years and years before any of them so now I wonder if his art actually has been an inspiration to a shitload of people.

I've forgotten a lot of detail, but Bigpeeler rose to fame with his zoo stories and follow-up carpet cleaning stories. The stories were bullshit, but much like the ridiculous Martin Random roommate story seemed so over-the-top they looped around into "well, it COULD have happened." By the time you get to "elephant steps on own dick" or "banana bread brain in foil" it was that mix of surprising with a touch of gross that makes up trainwreck syndrome.

Instead of capitalizing on that skill by publishing a book of weird tall tales, Bigpeeler kept reaching for dubious internet fame in GBS via such hits as "hey guys, this picture of Jessica Alba riding a gokart looks like she pissed herself, isn't that funny?" No, no it wasn't, and you obviously don't know how shadows and denim dying work. In fact that's where I put him on ignore, so I don't recall what finally got him banned.

Speaking of which: are there any active users on the site today who are either hellbanned or coming up on the end of a 100,000 hour probation? Those punishments were funnier than almost any mod challenge (exceptions being Mermaid Shelly and the guy who ate dog food).

I remember "lift your couch" threads. Lots of fun pictures of happy-looking goons. Shine probably started them?

Hey, anybody remember that guy who went to some African country and bragged how he introduced a village to Karl Marx by giving them his collected writings? Then he posted how that village supposedly lynched their local priest and his whole family and burned down the church in an act of Communist revolution, and he expected to get high fived by everybody on the forums for it.

Has it ever been decided what part of his story was true and what was fiction?

The creepiest thing last page was someone complimenting the girl's smile which, uh, isn't creepy at all, it's a compliment. What's creepy is the dude who told the goonnette she had a nice rack a while back ago.

Basically what I'm saying is you need to know what creepily flirting is. hth

I dunno which part of that makes me more mad--posing as a handicapped person (I'm disabled myself) or that I fell for it. To be fair, it was for me much more "wow, those robot leg supports are rad!" than it was "hurr durr, girl pretty"in my case, but still.

They didn't show up in reverse search because the article they come from was in a form of a pdf file. It's not available online anymore, unfortunately.

Nice, good to know. I remember that some people got so mad that they've been had that they went back and editted their posts in the thread from weeks before into "gently caress youuuuu" "op is a liaaaaar" so that's how half of the first page looked afterwards.
