I think that was JaySB. Before his dripping millions he was known for helping goons who came to LV for good times. He would act as an informal tour guide of sorts. Whatever the gently caress happened I am happy his poker skills raked in fat coin.

Yep, that was him, glad he is an okay duder.

Who was the goon who was crashing on couches with other goons while he did some backpacking tour thing and it came out he assaulted someone?

Tsaven Nava? Motorcycle trip, sexually assaulted another goon, while having a different goon girlfriend. Before that, they posted a bunch of unnecessary and uncomfortable sexual poo poo in Cycle Asylum. He got blacklisted outside SA for the incident. After his first ban, he reregged and posted an E/N thread about how she led him on and then had her friend throw him out. He was a real loving creep.

It worked out just the way you'd expect a place selling $6.50 gas station hot dogs in a town of 1700 people would work out.

He seemingly lost interest in the hot dog business, and opened a garage in a shack next door, leaving the Dog House to his wife. Both venues languished for a while in a state of half-bakedness, then closed, supposedly because somebody bought the lots to build a parking lot, but probably because he just quit.

I'm not clicking the link (because it's the Daily Mail), but if it makes you feel better that's probably not true or at least grossly misreported (because it's the Daily Mail).

A guy who couldn't get a small business loan or a minor bank loan and had no savings or capital of his own to put into a food service business went to the internet to finance his dream and SA Goons latched on to it as the great American hope. A goon cancelled Christmas and donated almost a thousand dollars all because Noni made a sappy emotionally compelling post.

Shockingly, he didn't know what he was doing, overspent and wasted money, then turned out to be a racist dude from his facebook posts.

Meanwhile a guy who made it to the final 8 of Masterchef season 4 couldn't get enough KS money for a food truck for the very same reasons but no eloquent goon latched on to it as the hope for the future of mankind.

All I want for Christmas is Doob

This. The whole Doobie thing was funny when it was just "haha, let's contribute to this amusingly sad kickstarter," and then it devolved into that guy giving away his kids' Christmas gift money and people really getting emotionally invested in the Alabama hotdog guy. More or less the same thing happened with Lazerbot, Ulililia, CAD, and the events leading to Let's Play banning Pokemon and hentai game LPs. I wish people could just enjoy a good trainwreck without turning into creepy failure groupies.

I just learned the other day that there is an entire forum and wiki dedicated to Chris-Chan. And not one of those lame tiny Wikias, these articles are extremely detailed and well-sourced. I mean, if you spend your life making fun of a no-life autist, what does that make you?

The most shameful moment of these forums in my opinion will always be the time GBS crowdfunded a video of brazillian sex workers stretching their anuses enough to use eachothers asses as toilets. This was such a proud moment that they also had the film crew include a shitload (no pun intended) of GBS catchphrases. For some reason Metis wasn't banned for being a shitstain of a human, rather cheered on by posters and mods until he made the unforgiveable crime of "not delivering on time". I haven't seen the video itself, just screenshots, but it ended up being released. Funding a hot dog cart is nothing compared to literally being the fascists from Pasolini's 120 days of sodom.

Yeah, the cult of Chris-chan was the first example I thought of, but I couldn't remember if people on SA had anything to do with that or not.

Edit: Gorgeous George was a Chris-chan-like scenario where SA's obsession with him and his obsession with SA just kept on feeding each other, and in the end it all was just too sad and shameful to find the humor in it anymore.

I'll admit that I've lost a couple hours (in total) reading up on Chris Chan, but the last time I did it, after about 30 minutes, I just kind of snapped out of it, and thought "what the gently caress am I doing?" :negative:

It's so weird to me that there was a point in time where there were hentai Let's Plays and they weren't somehow mocked off the site and the OP banned. I'm assuming it was a situation where it started as "Oh man, look how stupid and gross this is haha!" and slowly evolved to everyone being too into it.

Not even everyone, just... too many people. The breaking point was a thread where the LPer was obviously part of the problem. He was way too emotionally invested in a story in which "ZRR NRR NRR" was the sound that sex makes. And bad erotic writing is one of the funniest things in the world to me, so I'm still kind of sore about this.

The best 'lulcow' as the Chris Chan brigade like to dub the people they track every movement of was Jace Connors, because it was a member of MDE that managed to keep up a fake persona that lulled them in for about 2 years. It was pretty sad from both sides, in all honesty. What a waste of everyone's time.

All this urbex chat kinda reminds me of this goon who used to take photos from the top of high-voltage electrical towers:
http://www.somethingawful.com/comedy-goldmine/tower-climber-helmacron/1/

quote:

What you're looking at is the ground, from the top of an electrical transmission line tower. The circle is the horizon, 360 degrees of view. The scene from the centre point is capturing approximately 160 degrees of view to the outside edges on the right and left hand sides, the top and bottom have been cropped. The curling girders form the very top of the tower, where I am squatting, slowly revolving the camera around. The top left is north, the bottom right is south.

The picture consists of thirty-one individual long exposure photographs, each image taking somewhere around a minute and a half to take. Each image in this thread would have taken an hour minimum to capture (not including processing, or just how long I Google Earthed, drove around, walked into bushland, climbing and setting up my equipment). Each image has a master image that is 30,000 x 15,000 pixels, making it approximately 37 times larger than an image your camera makes. Not to gloat.
