While we're outing Comic Book Goons on the list of "famous" goons, Ian Flynn, the guy who writes Sonic and Mega Man for Archie used to be a goon until recently.

And Benito Cereno, who writes some indie titles (including The Tick) is as far as I know, still a goon, with his name as his username.

I'm gonna guess if even some of the incoming funds from signups/upgrades was put towards content, SA would be more than just a forum people from 10 years ago still visit to talk poo poo on.

Yeah, there's definitely a possible universe where all the popular internet culture that passed through the forums ended up on the front page and GoonCon is a bigger deal than PAX.

He doesn't seem to get I don't want to speak to someone who ended up getting 3 FBI agents sent to my office in the UK, especially when it seems that rather being treated for his obvious and severe mental illness it appears he's doing exactly the same poo poo he was before he went missing, except now he has torture scars he can show off.

What I'm saying is that you're inextricably linked to Caro now and should give him the common courtesy reach around since your misreporting may have cost him a few extra months/years in a torture camp. But you're the expert.

They don't, but they contacted the UK police to request a visit and I thought I'd see if I could help Caro out of tortureland. Seems I knew some stuff they didn't about his last days in Turkey but I doubt it was any real help.

Why Is he not getting any sort of help and also why is a literally insane probable war criminal just suddenly back in the community? The U.S. supposedly had to do something to get him released so why would they essentially just toss him back to his old lovely life or whatever?

The entire Caro saga continues to be confusing as hell

They probably thought they could get some positive PR getting him out of there and then once they realized he was crazy they slammed the abort button and now he's back to the beginning. So he'll be involved in something insane within a year again at most

A couple "famous" comic book writers used to be goons. Warren Ellis and Gail Simone most notably.

Who were both driven off in short order by general gooniness, Simone in particular. Ellis had his own forums (that required a real name to join, which at the time caused folks to behave) and was an early twitter adopter.
