I mean someone did buy it, yes, and then they took swab samples and sent it to another goon. So yeah, it probably went down pretty similarly to what you're describing.

realtalk tho the whole thing just makes me think of how often I use my phone while pooping and now I feel like I should wipe it down with a wet wipe every time I go

Same question, but about the goon from one of the E/N dating threads that was upset about some woman that wanted to meet up and gently caress in the bathroom at some bar and after that ended up in a hilariously bad relationship.

Loosechanj, former mod of the Book Barn, who I believe was also an older dude.

Yeah, the thing is that the "SA yearbook" wasn't even supposed to be a dating site, just a social media site where you could comment other people's profile pictures and vote on whose comments were the funniest.

The entire site was a saga in itself. On the height of its popularity, I think Lowtax tried to buy it and merge it into the SA profile system, since there obviously was some demand for inter-goon SoMe-functionality, but the creators declined the offer.

I used to chat with Loosechanj in the star trek offsite #irc

He shared pics of his view of the last space shuttle launches

Knowing him that way I always want to defend him but something about being a drunk mod in the book barn means you're gonna embarrass yourself and everyone else

There have been various attempts to make the Bad Thread not bad, including one at GRRM's personal request. They have all​ failed of course.

It was back before a Dance with Dragons came out. At that point the Bad Thread was completely toxic, worse than it had ever been, or has been since really. They were calling GRRM an absolute fucker, and frankly everyone in the thread seemed to just hate him because he hadn't written the next book. This was long before the show of course. Someone told him about the thread and how, well, bad it was and apparently GRRM was very upset by it when he saw it. He contacted the mods of the Book Barn (Loosechanj and Viconia at the time I think) and asked if they could maybe be a bit more positive (by which he probably meant not actively hoping for his death). So there was a new rule instituted for maybe a week, that you could only post in the Bad Thread if you were posting something positive. The thread did get a little less awful for a while I guess. I haven't read the Bad Thread in a long time.

Pretty sure that's when the "Absolute Fucker Certificate" came about. Sometime in like '07 or '08. Thought I had it saved, but apparently I don't. It is a thing of beauty though.

Yes, like Lunchmeat Larry said it was pretty sad. I think her blog is still up if you want to read a few posts about her time in hospital and a few drawings she did. She was my first real goon friend from way back and towards the end I lost track of her. Spanish Manlove (I think) was kind enough to track down her cancer thread for me and also give her a nice memorial avatar (after he jokingly gave her a permadead one). He's a nice guy that Spanish Manlove, I hope I thanked him enough for the closure.

I asked one of the admins what was the normal protocol for the situation, then the really tacky permadead av was given by one of them and I felt the need to queue up the current one as I thought it would be better.

I didn't know about the blog and had one of the admins provide me her name and then googled it and in reference to obituaries, which eventually found confirmation. I don't really remember much else, but I just want to clarify that the permadead AV wasn't a joke and also wasn't my idea, and I agreed with people that it was horrible and tacky.
