Look! A Horse! posted:I'm guessing FYAD just had to barely tolerate him or can you mod sass more over there? He was broadly tolerated at first because he'd dig up funny poo poo about people and had an exhaustive knowledge of everyone on the forums. In much the same way you'd tolerate the milk smelling neckbreather when you were 10 because he had all the Nintendo games and his mom made good snacks, motherfuckers would tolerate Abe's unfunny me-too nonsense so long's he kept the doxx flowing. Then Lowtax woke up from his pill slumber and did his usual routine of "Oh we need a mod? This guy's posted a ton and been banned not much, he must be okay" and suddenly it was The Abe Show. Look dudes, Abenotes! Abe challenges! Every thread must meet the Abe Standard of Abesellence or else receive zAnY pUnIsHmEnTs. And you couldn't tell him to gently caress off because he was thin skinned and some kind of eidetic sperg of hurt feelings so he'd roll with the punches and then you'd be snap banned for forgetting a comma in an unrelated post eight days later. It's a sad truth of forum moderation, Internet wide, that the very people who do it are the very people who should not. If it was 2005 and people still gave a gently caress about forums you bet your rear end I'd be starting a business offering guaranteed non-crazy non-egomaniac non-paedo moderators for hire. Anyway, anyone else remember that time Fistgrrl's psycho ex boyfriend registered and started threatening people? That was weird. I was 15 and he actually found my phone number and threatened to stab me because he thought I was moving in on his 30 something computer lady ex missus. Also mobn the superchunky ninja not exercising because he had a leg pimple and it turned him into a woman? That poo poo was weird as well.

Although the person that OldTennisCourt was talking about is different I think... there was a biker who got very handsy (or possibly more) with a girl goon and she posted about it herself.

It's a bit further back in the thread, but the thing about pokemon LPs being banned for ages (unless you're that one chick who spammed her LPs full of lovely art i guess?) was due to some dude writing himself into pokemon dungeon 2 as a self-insert since the game has a "you've turned into a pokemon" storyline. Later it turned out the dude had recently found out he had cancer and wasn't thinking straight at all, honestly the whole thing kinda made me feel more sad than anything else because i always thought the dude was super nice and chill every time he posted and he just ended up getting dogpiled and had no idea how to deal with it. Dude kept apologizing repeatedly to the people making GBS threads on him and it was kinda just pure  to watch.They can't all be winners i guess  Rough Lobster posted:GI Joe Dirtbag of course crumbunist is on the second page enjoying the show

I think around the same time there was also just a proliferation of low-effort Pokémon LPs. The LPs by Chocorojo (the one exempt from the rule, who drew all the fanart) I remember as being pretty good, but I also remember having to scroll through pages and pages of white noise posts in between updates. But that's the case with every ultra-popular LP I guess. Rollersnake has a new favorite as of 10:53 on Dec 30, 2016 |

The way I understand it, it was a combination of factors that led to the pokeban in LP. Like yes, there was the weird and bad self insert fanfiction narratives (and writing Narrative Fiction for your LP can be fine. Look at the work of Chokes Mcgee in the archive for instance) but also because it became a de riguer  thing where you'd have people registering and then plopping down their gen 1 lp treating it like nobody had ever seen the game before, and it was starting to flood things.It's gotten a lot more relaxed again in the last few years, but for a while the contrast between SA quality and youtube dumps like PDP or whomever kinda went to our heads, and there was a lot of strict attitudes about how to do things and back seat modding and elitism going on.

Definitely a different person, the biker dude that OTC is talking about was on a cross country trip and crashing on various goons' couches until it was revealed that he'd assaulted one of them. GI Joe Dirtbag was just a homeless piece of poo poo who repaid a goon's kindness with sexual assault.

Your Gay Uncle posted:Was this the same goon who took his motorcycle to the very tip of Alaska? I loved that thread, sad to think he was raping people the whole time. I didn't think he went that far, but he did take a couple long trips that he posted trip journals of. He also worked in Antarctica and had some threads about that. The goon he assaulted is now sort of famous in the internet motorcycle world for her big adventures, the biggest of which began at about the tip of Alaska. Tsaven Nava still uses the same name elsewhere on the internet and posts about creeping on women he meets during his travels.

Nuebot posted:The LP Subforum can be super weird about poo poo like that. I mean some of the stuff that's still archived even have really weird stuff going on like people inventing entire storylines in the middle of a game. But then sometimes people just decide one particular LP is a straw too far. A while ago a guy playing a megaman game faked an entire cutscene and people immediately started spreading it across various wikis and poo poo before he revealed the truth. Then people got mad at him for calling a boss a human being. My favorite LP subforum/archive drama revolves around two now-deleted Final Fantasy VIII LPs. The first one was from Leovinus who made his LP waaaay back in 2006. I remember people saying that it was pretty influential in creating a dedicated LP subforum, and I think and a lot of screenshot LPers copied his style. But then at some point he wanted to redo it for some reason, asked the archive to take down his old LP, but then he had a huge meltdown and never completed the new one. The other LP was by Azure Horizon, which got wiped from the archive after he outed himself as a literal rapist. EDIT: Honestly, the goon I'm most surprised hasn't had a super-meltdown thread is thedarkid, since he's always LPing games rife with  moments, that it's amazing that none of his threads got gassed from a goon saying something like "well actually the sympathetic pederast is frequently represented in classic Japanese literature like Tenchy Muyo and I think we can all learn a lesson from... "

Thedarkid is really good about moderating his own threads, and is quick to close them between updates if the conversation gets too creepy. And it does, because it must.

I'm curious exactly how the bombshell "it turns out he was a pedophile etc" things happen. Are they so shameless they don't bother to hide the fact? Because you'd think someone with that kind of record probably wouldn't want people on the Internet to know their real name, yet when these folks get doxxed it turns out they met other posters in RL and didn't bother giving an alias, use the same /similar user names in other forums, etc.

infosec is hard Even if you don't meet in person & try to compartmentalize everything, you'll probably still have posted an email in a thread somewhere & used the same email for something else with an alias that you use several other places etc until your 90s livejournal turns up with a dozen pages of buttcake erotica or some such Also some of this stuff is from before doxxing was really a thing. It wasn't really until helldump & internet detectivery & 4chan became things that it became so prevalent e: there's some talk about internet detectivery/doxxing here itt: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=1&threadid=3784826&perpage=40&pagenumber=69#post467010744 Carthag Tuek has a new favorite as of 20:10 on Dec 30, 2016 |

Tbh the occasional Pokemon LP slips in, but it generally isn't bad and has some sort of gimmick. Like DJB's "gotta catch em all" red LP 2 years back. Though at this point gently caress LP elitism. Just do a good job showing off the game.

It was easy to get attention with a Pokemon lp since the series is so popular and there are lots of ways to get readers involved, like nicknames and which pokemon to use. Not to mention all the challenge rules like nuzlocke runs and stuff. So a lot of people did them just because they were guaranteed to get a lot of readers and probably a gold thread just because it was pokemon.
