Best part is a lot of the sagas talked about throughout the thread started the same way: relatively harmless/good thread wherein one goon casually exposes a :psyboom: thing about themselves and refuses to even consider the fact that they're doing something hosed up/:gonk:/:nms:

I know it's been mentioned before, but to me the "literally wrote the book on fairy torture" creep is a nigh-perfect example of this.

It's my favorite type of internet crazy, the "I'm oblivious and unused to society" types opposed to the "I'm obviously mentally ill and my life is suffering" or "I'm caro and I'm off to kill people and attempt untrained surgery in a warzone" stuff.

Whenever I read a thread outing someone for being a hosed up weirdo, all I can think is that when the thread gets trawled up in PFY a few years later there will certainly be a handful of posters in there jumping on the bandwagon who have themselves since been outed and banned for being hosed up weirdos.

Especially if any of the posters are mods or admins. Just one of those things.

Yeah a few of the helldump threads that have been linked so far had Cotton B Gross in them on the sidelines, who eventually caught a perma for being a pedo.
I mostly only remember the guy because his avatar was that weird face made of three rubber bands, and his av text said "Hey.. you wanna see my evil thoughts?"

Chris had taken $50 ($40 of which he had got the previous day for his birthday) with him. He found out this would not be enough cash when he was faced with $11 tolls (according to Bob, Chris had never been on a toll road before), starting in Breezewood, Pennsylvania.[10] At around 4:30 that afternoon he stopped in Streetsboro, Ohio to spend money on food and gas. He purchased $11.68 worth of gas from Sheetz, and got a small Hamburger with mayonnaise and a Lemonberry Slushie from Sonic.[11] According to Chris the slushie was made with real fruit, and had two lemon wedges in it.[12]

the funniest part about all of that to me is how robust their citations are, like it is super important that they get their academic integrity in order. there are even wikipedia style mods going around and adding [citation needed] to stuff, it is truly a work of art.

I didn't realize it had that connotation, I thought it was just something that idiots like Martin Shkreli were doing to "troll" transgender people by being "lol what if I identify as a toaster".

Also I don't know why you think popped collars/pink polos originated here (or how it is "creepy") - people did it but I think this is one of the many cases where someone thinks SA made something up just because they saw it here for the first time even though it had been around for a while prior to it being posted here.

No. They were the long, long, long distance lovers (Seattle and Australia) who spoke online before she, Pele, flew to Australia to meet him, Oddjob, who promptly proposed at the airport. Upon meeting for the first time. Which she accepted.

I found it by googling their names but sadly the thread isn't in the live forums anymore. Pele also gained notoriety for being rather overtly flirtatious at a party hosted by Lowtax, showing her boobs and fooling around with other female goons.

My favorite moment of this was when they had some sort of call out thread in gbs which ended up with pele and oddjob getting banned. I was browsing the forums in class back in college and either lowtax or some admin had embedded the mortal kombat music to that thread and it started blaring over the professor instantly when I opened that thread up.

So everyone thought I was some weirdo into the mortal kombat techno song.

How in the heck did the stairs thing start on SA? I've been reading this website since I was in high school and I just realized I don't know the story behind that. Sorry if it's been covered.

If memory serves, Richard said goons should have a code phrase to ID each other IRL. Then promptly told everyone never to actually use or say that because what kind of loser talks about the Internet forum they post on. This was what, 2003? Earlier? When most folks still thought of interacting on an online forum with other people a niche esoteric hobby at best.

So there's no real story that I know of (but I'm a lowly :regd06: so maybe an OG user has better/clarified insight).

Was there ever another user like :coupons: - I don't remember the name, only that the emote came about because someone who frequented the Coupons forum was using the ignore function so heavily it broke the forums somehow. I'm assuming that's why the ignore list is finite as well?
