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.

I recall Goth Nurse touching the poop was the final knell for those threads.

Not sure if mentioned already/recently but I just stumbled upon the SAclopedia entry of goon who faked his death to get out of paying $1000 loan to another goon. That's pretty funny.

I bet if you measure it and part a bunch of pictures you could get a goon project going to start recreating them. Then you could branch of and start making the less pulsar but still favorite Rowdy Trout.

This already happened (see link above) when one was found and sent to a sewing goon who took it apart and created and sold the pattern in SA mart.

Eventually people were selling custom versions modified to look like the goonswarm bee or Cthulhu.

Prior to that an internet detective spree went down trying to contact + commission the original manufacturer listed on the tag. People called the Chinese factory and everything.

Earlier itt I asked for a link to the Boomerjinx saga, and on re-reading it I realized I'd forgotten how hosed up it was that he got his Reddit buddies to witch hunt a woman --- who didn't even work for the video game company anymore --- and they were blowing up her phone with rape threats. Over a loving Jeep with some dings in it.

He should have been permabanned for that, but look at some of the mods discussed in the last few pages alone.

Question: can anyone explain in brief the remark "become a marine biologist?" I've seen it pop up in E/N and imagine it's meant as a derisive shitpost toward people angsting over a stagnant career, but it's so oddly specific I wonder what it specially referred back to.

Anyhow I was in the Smithsonian air and space museum today and remembered the (i think) FYAD thread where the Russians who sent Laika the dog into space just did it to get their kicks killing a dog in a creative way. That was a funny one. Anyone have a link?

Wasn't he the one that used to buy shitloads of banner ads for swole programs or whatever they were called? I always remember seeing these banners with a cycle of "You're FAT - You're UGLY - You're TIRED - You're WEAK - You're STUPID - Buy our program" and wondered who the gently caress would go straight for "advertising" like that.

Pillowpants was the one who made budgets for people. And then there was that Resume to Interviews guy. One of them actually sold his business to other people without telling anyone here. I think it was the resume guy but I'm not sure.

Pillowpants' budgeting service was actually pretty good, and I really liked the site he had set up. Unfortunately he had a pretty sudden shutdown and it was suddenly just gone. There was a post in his thread about it, but if I remember right it went down way faster than we were warned.

It sounds like a Seinfeld reference, referencing George (he use to lie and say he was a marine biologist or an architect to try to make himself look like not a loser). Just a guess though.

Nope, it was the same guy, he just fell completely for several online marketing gimmicks and everything went to hell.

The resume account was sold out, swole Pt guy just went nuts.

His downfall can be tracked through the complaint thread in QCS about him that got him perma'd, and the link within to his final thread which became a clearing house of people showing how poo poo the service had become.

Was Pillowpants the guy who posted an E/N thread asking for relationship advice in which he revealed that he created a spreadsheet tracking the number of handjobs his girlfriend gave him over the span of like several months? I think it was from back when E/N threads were still in GBS. Someone else has to remember that thread, I recall it being pretty funny (if only because he didn't seem to get that tracking your sexual activity in a set of carefully curated spreadsheets was not normal behavior).

For years he ran a legit thing in plain language, which was a feature, then it seems like he skimmed too many marketing books without understanding them and slowly + completely changed. It was quite astounding to watch over time.

I don't understand... That's like 2.5 years after SA started. A con? Really?

Back then it's important to remember that not only was SA a lot smaller but most of the people who made up SA had come from a few very specific other sites and SA had sort of been started because people kept getting mad that the dot com boom was killing whatever forum people were hanging out on at the time. So yeah it was only around 3 years since SA had been an official thing but a lot of people had known each other online since before that.

Yeah, it's TCC trying its hardest not to show drugs in a bad light no matter what is being talked about. Which is why you get posts from a guy describing how he's having a mental breakdown because he just hit his wife under the influence of DXM and it's the worst thing that happened in his life and he's crying...but first he'd like to clear that his priority concern is making sure that this story doesn't negatively portray drugs.
