Lmfao you wouldn't think it would be the TV forum, which is probably the most mainstream hobby on this entire website outside the DIY forum, that would attract the craziest weirdos, but there you go.

my bs theory is that the craziest people are the ones that post in the mainstream hobby forums like the TV forums because you'd think people would have plenty of opportunity to talk about stuff like TV and politics irl

like, it makes sense to go on-line and read the experience of people living in countries & cultures that you'd otherwise not know, and read about people who have weird & interesting jobs, and look at insanely weird on-line stuff and laugh at stuff like the desert goon who tried to push a trolley through a desert while only eating Mcnuggets, but why go on-line to talk about a TV show that every single person around you has seen. just talk with irl people about that.

Agreed

If you write up a storm about your favorite animal/tv show/movie/band, you're probably putting too much brain into a thing and if it's not for school, it's gonna be really bad.

(It'll probably be bad for school too but that's not our problem)

Does anyone have/remember the GBS thread from December 2012 where a wienery little British guy I guess "roleplayed" as a child opening an advent calendar (I think that was what he was going for, the stuff he was posting was straight up undecipherable) and then people started digging through his posts and found his DeviantArt full of furry porn?

Going back to Pokemon Let's Plays, that's similar to why they eventually got banned since someone did a Mystery Dungeon LP where they roleplayed as the main character and a ton of people in the thread were like "I'M SQUIRTLE!" "I'M THE COOLEST RAICHU!" and it got weird and gassed IIRC.

covered that one already, dude had just found out he had cancer and wasn't thinking straight
i'm not sure that many people joined in either, they mostly just dogpiled him over the LP premise (which was sad cos the dude is actually super chill)

Depended entirely on the person paying. I think once I got paid like $100 for 30 pages. I mostly did it before I had a real job and even a minimum wage retail job paid more than writing smut for internet people.

I think he's pissed off about some guild drama on Tribes or something? He's basically Social Security for these here dead, gay fora.

What I was able to piece together is that he is a paranoid schizophrenic who also has brain damage because he was hit in the head with a tire iron when he was robbed. Also he played a lot of Tribes.

He thinks that Somethingawful is populated entirely by the friends he played Tribes with and we're collectively sockpuppet accounts made to pretend that we don't get his in-jokes

He is also very ill

it is my impression that he doesn't spend anything on the forums, but does some kind of credit card chargeback / fraud thing. Lowtax called his parents once, i think. the guy doesn't have any kind of interesting weirdo backstory, he's just mentally ill & it's pretty sad.

SAclopedia on Dare:
http://forums.somethingawful.com/dictionary.php?act=3&topicid=2565

The "manifesto" he was most recently spamming was a barely lucid bunch of words and links that was trying to doxx several mods and ex-mods and major GBS posters as all being the same small group of people and also Caro at the same time somehow, and connecting it as always to Tribal Wars in a grand conspiracy. Basic schizophrenia rambling.

Months ago he was just spamming dick pics. How he keeps getting access to a credit card at this point is the real mystery.

I wish they would stop editing out his posts. Every time he shows up in a thread it gets a little more lively. Also if you respond to him and he responds back he will call you a name of some one he knows in real life. I believe he called me "Will" once or something. Which is insane because who would chose "Will" over "Bill"?
