My favorite callout thread was when someone from the diving sub forum got an insanely technical, detailed call out from another diver . It was something like " Goon Diver 666 only submerge dives with a psi 134 mask " with the other goon responding in kind with an equally technical comeback. It quickly devolved into just the two of them slap fighting over diving with all the HD superstars just looking on kind of baffled, trying to figure out who to call a human being.

I've seen at least one of the posts. They are completely and utterly indecipherable to me, a non-diver, and yet you can feel the scathing pure contempt from each and every sentence. To hear they blew away the diving forum too is just beautiful.

were helldump and dpph really concurrent? i remember the former but i never experienced SA as.. a.... porn-hub :geno:

my earliest forums memories are p much just GBS but 1337

I do remember that there was a period where "checking profile pics" to see if the OP was a goonette was bannable

As others said, DPPH, NMP3s and the video forums were well before Helldump.

On that note, the tears and fury from people who paid their $10 to join just for the filez was loving great when they realized they came on right as all that poo poo went. Especially funny when they complained that they joined just to DL poo poo and promptly ate a ban.

People remember the successful helldump threads some of which were funny. However, the rest so like 90% of the forum was trash and while every subforum has its own ratio of signal to noise, the noise of helldump was extremely bad because of the subject matter. It didn't help that like half of the people that posted there sooner or later got threads created about themselves and rightfully so because helldump would draw in a certain type of goon.

It's probably because the super success threads were preserved but all the cruft was discarded.
I don't recall Crumbunist or Boniface ever getting their own threads, IIRC those were the main two guys running Helldump. As far as I know Crumbunist to this day remains untouchable and Boniface writes for Breitbart now or some poo poo?

The porn threads pretty much stopped right before I finally caved and registered, but I kinda miss the crazy way they would go, where someone would request things with very vague descriptions like "I'm looking for some scene with a girl in a blue top with black hair taking it from behind" or something, and there would be people immediately jumping in with ideas, and like, 85% of the time they'd be DEAD RIGHT. Like SA became the land of the porn psychics.

nah, you're right. the porn and filesharing forums got closed down before helldump got made. i was just trying to say that weirdo call-outs and doxxing happened way before Helldump and was never confined to it, not least because of dpph (the porn forum) which was closed before helldump was made. Helldump had some interesting and weirdly fascinating stuff, and stuff that crossed the line, but it really wasn't unique imo with internet-detective stuff, it just had a distinct theme.

imo despite how weirdly fascinating the stuff can be, stuff really has changed for the better with doxxing and general creepy stuff having gradually become less acceptable

thx & ya i wanna second that.

obv the forums are still bad and crap, but the reasons why are becoming more acceptable to me.

Boniface was also Mobute in FYAD so when they found out he used to be Boniface/published that "I am not a Genocidal Maniac" article revealing he was Jeb Lund they definitely had threads disowning and mocking him. This was a few years after HD shut down though and FYAD was never a huge fan of it in the first place for the most part

I can recognize maybe 3 people in that album, only one for sure. And he's dead now.

EDIT: I think it was from a later gooncon but there's a great picture of a redhead and behind her is a woman with black hair looking at her with utter loathing and flipping her off. One of them had hamster in the name maybe?

Don't you tell me my business again.
I'm not sure it qualifies as a "saga" but the Kuuenbu Helldump thread was what got me to pony up and join the forums. Occasionally, I'll google his name and, since he uses the same name everywhere he posts, I'll discover him still posting the same poo poo about videogames and speed metal. Dude doesn't seem to have evolved at all.

The Dollfucker thing WAS a saga though.

I think there were three threads and they finally got squashed once TigerMojo or someone actually got goons involved in his life on some level, or something like that. If I remember right, the Kevin Havens saga died an abrupt and unsatisfying premature death. When the thread(s) ended, he was (I think) homeless, fired from his "caretaker" job and was still carrying his dolls around with him in Hefty bags or some poo poo. Or maybe they were in storage.

Near the end of the whole thing, I recall his brother posting here for a bit. He was trying to help his brother in some way but there was no getting through to him. Kevin's trapezoid mouth was amongst the least of his problems. Watching it unfold was fascinating though.

Also, nthing Two Worlds because holy poo poo. I vacillated between feeling genuinely sorry for the guy and wanting to punch him his loving face. The dude just ultimately had no filter whatsoever, seemed to think everything was about him and just kept going out of his way to publish the most embarrassing details about his inability to live anything resembling a regular life, warts and all. It was fascinating and sad at the same time, like a lot of SA threads are.

I've known people like this IRL and they just never seem to get it. Calm the gently caress down, quit posting every thought you have on the internet, etc. I bet he's really into Facebook these days.

Do you feel it, Zach?
My coffee warned me about it.


Oh god, the quotes thread reminded me of the heroin thread in TCC that FYAD made fun of. That thread was one of the most hosed up things.

quote:

The allure to it, it's the loving high, what do you think? The thing that stops most people from doing heroin ESPECIALLY IVing heroin is the stigma. If you can get over that stigma, then it's smooth sailing.

quote:

I have this problem where... I really want to try heroin again. I did it twice very casually about a year ago, but for all intents and purposes it's like I never tried it because I never really felt the effects - I don't know why. No one around me really understands what it's like to want to do drugs. It's frustrating. I feel like my family and the few friends I have just don't understand the notion of wanting to get high, and specifically, wanting to do something as dangerous and addictive as heroin. It's like saying I want to drink bleach or something - it just doesn't make sense to them.

I lost my driver's license over the summer and it's gone for a while. As a result, scoring any kind of drugs, least of all the real street drugs that you have to go trekking into the ghetto for, is just not possible. I feel like I could probably move past this faze in my life of wanting to do drugs, and ultimately get to where I need to be and could be quite happy for several years. But I'm also worried that if I don't do this now while I want to, the feeling will never go away and it could hurt me much worse later on.

And then... sometimes I wonder, do I create my own obstacles in life? What really is getting in my way?

I don't know.

quote:

I have to warn you though, that high doses of this stuff can do things to you. The other day, I took a lot. I had some in the early AM, and then redosed, which is stupid. Even with it feeling like I was sober, redosing shot me to some level I wasn't even ready for. I knew this would happen, but I thought I could handle it. I started throwing up at one point, and my wife helped me into the bathroom and was trying to undress me so I could get in the shower. I thought a "simulation" was playing in my head, which is very common for me. Not thinking something is a simulation, but having fake things happen when I drift off. For whatever loving reason, the way I chose to prove to myself that this wasn't real was to hit my wife. I'll say that again in case you don't understand. I WAS SO HIGH I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO PUNCH MY WIFE IN THE BACK OF THE NECK TO PROVE THAT WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING WAS NOT REAL. I felt/feel like loving poo poo. I've never hit anyone before. I've never even been in a fight.

I came to god knows how much longer, and my wife is on the couch with a knife. I ask what she's doing, and she tells me I hit her. I have no memory of it at this point. When I heard what I had done I was loving devastated. Nothing has ever had this affect on me, or made me look at my drug use this way.

I'm not trying to paint DXM in a bad light. I had some awesome times on it, and it can be loving magical. But, don't be an idiot like me and over do it.

That's just from the first 2 pages and that thing went deep including people losing body parts and a kid running freely during his parents' drug party.
