Was TCC ever anything other than a gulag for addicts like ADTRW?

I don't have a link, just the bare quotes. Its the contrast in tone that kills me quote:irl something shorted on the shuttle and laika overheated and died within a few hours of liftoff and for a brief while one could look up to the stars and see a light shooting across the sky that was actually a warm dog corpse slingshoting about the earth at thousands of miles per hour which was arguably humanity's greatest achievement so far quote:the dog was certainly scared as hell and probably making GBS threads + pissing during launch so it was a dog corpse covered in fecal matter quote:the dog that got cooked to death in space is memorialized with a statue in moscow, commemorating the millions of dollars and man hours used to murder a stray dog in an elaborate way quote:after laika the russians killed two more dogs in space by blowing them up with remote explosive charges, lol quote:i hope i'm alive the next time we as a species collectively dedicate that much effort and manpower and technological innovation towards executing an animal, maybe like dunking a sheep into a black hole or something

George H.W. oval office posted:Swole PT had started down the path of weird poo poo for a while. He had a couple iterations of his thread before his final meltdown. I didn't follow any of that, but I saw the banner ads approximately a billion times and it wasn't until the final meltdown became a point of interest across the forums that I realized that it was "swole PT" and not "swolept", a single word whose meaning I could not for the life of me puzzle out and I was sure rhymed with "concept"

TCC and The Goon Doctor forums really should both be closed. it's stupid to lend any kind of legitimacy to people with unverified credentials giving out medical advice. i think it is good that the different warez forums got closed down, but TCC and the Goon Doctor are imo worse because they are outright potentially harmful sources of misinformation.

There are probably just as many tales of goons who have ruined their lives via video games, like that guy who didn't attend the birth of his kid because his WoW guild was doing a raid

If I remember right, the same guy adopted two shelter dogs, then pretty soon after re-homed them because he didn't have time to take care of them with his busy 8 hours a day of WoW schedule.

iirc there was some kind of "PYF dumbest gaming thing you did" thread, and a few people posted dumb bs like making a bad gimmick build in a rpg, or never figuring out you could jump before passing half of a game, and then this guy posts about his father dying of cancer over a period of like 6 months and never going to see him, including on his death bed, because he was too busy raiding in WoW

the future is WOW posted: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). No, the handjob spreadsheet guy was Dragonsven. It was his wife, not his girlfriend, and he started doing it after they got married. His main coping strategy was smoking a lot of weed and whining about it online.

Sorry if it was already posted,but anyone has the link to the book barn (I think) thread where someone finds a horror book written by a 13 year old and that spawns a writing contest based on his writing style? I think some goon managed to track down the author,now an adult, and he judged the writing contest. It think that was one of the more sucesfull goon projects ever,and where the expression "vomiting with anticipation" came from.

Mostly I remember it because there were like three fake posters pretending to be the author before the actual author showed up. Also the original stories were absolutely hilarious.

This thread led me to the "I Bought A Truck: Bad Decisions ITT" saga (and associated Comedy Goldmine thread "Requiem for a Jeep") about the goon who bought a 30's grain truck and enlisted a mechanic goon from Washington to come out to Nebraska and help get it running. I've been following it daily since it was posted here and tonight 14 Bar Riff got the 350 donor motor started! Hopefully in the coming weeks we'll see this monster making its way to Florida from the icy fields of Nebraska. It's been an awesome thread to follow sating my interest in mechanical things and the story itself.

The story is even better when you know the backstory of how depressed 14" has been over the last year. That truck has given him a new lease on life.

Venturing in there just for the SADCHUB links made me feel a bit dirty.

He was supplementing his Adderall Rx with street meth because it was cheaper, started posting manic poo poo about how the emergency room doctors didn't believe there were bugs under his skin + posted a bunch of photo/video "evidence", and was eventually 5150'd by AI goons. ---- edit- this is far more crass sounding than it should be, watching AI scramble to get their boy the help he needed when he was in such a dark place was beautiful.

Whoa! After the initial reply I made I started pouring through his post history. It was voluminous so I didn't catch that. drat. I'm really happy that he has this project going, then. I think we've all been down and out at certain points in our lives. Godspeed to our fellow internet maniac!
