The sheer amount of vitriol I've seen people continue to hold for the Doobie thing amazes me. Like, not the folk who just thought it was stupid and moved on, but I've seen goons continue to  about it with an apparently photographic recall of how events went down.Stare into the abyss and all that, but man.

It was some guy's attempt at crowdfunding a hot dog restaurant. Lot of people threw their money into an obviously doomed project, but goons being goons...

Yes, and that is another reason it was so funny. I didn't give him any money but it was still hilarious to see the rise and fall of Oobie Og Ouse.

I got the impression that Doobie revealed himself to be both a racist and a homophobe at some point, by making racist and anti-LGBT tweets with his company profile, so not only were goons supporting a really dumb business venture, they also turned out to have been supporting a guy who was a garbage person. I could misremember, though. As far as just goofy stories goes that are funny & stupid without turning vile; Muerte The Desert Wandering Goon and the Goon Summer Death Camp Slide, are both funny goon project stories. All of the stories are fairly easily found by searching the threadid of this thread.

EmmyOk posted:What's Doobie? Some subforum was called doobie's doghouse at some point is about all I remember. Claude Robinson, aka Doobie, of Reform, AL set up a Kickstarter to open a hot dog shack. Former mod Soundmonkey and a bunch of goons donate a bunch of cash and he hit his goal. One goon even canceled his family's Christmas and donated thousands. Goons being goons, they made a big deal about helping this kind young man fulfill his dream and were set to goonify his restaurant with a bunch of frog-themed poo poo because they made something good happen. Everyone patted themselves on the back. Then everyone found out Doobie is: inept idiot who has no idea how to run a business (had issues with vent hoods, soda fountains, opening near established popular restaurants), racist, homophobic, all around dumbfuck, married to a woman who could have been Richard Kiel's stand-in in Moonraker, and gave the forums the middle finger when he refused to fulfill the goon-chosen KS stretch goals. Long story short: Everyone who donated got trolled to hell and back, Doobie wasted a bunch of the KS money on car rims and someone ELSE'S heating bill, Goons who didn't donate loving with Doobie and his wife for two years, "oobie og hous" unsurprisingly goes out of business, Doobie being such a failure that his own mother tried to guilt him into donating furniture from the restaurant to her rather than his intended liquidation sale. It's one of the best and worst things to come from these forums.

In the same vein was a guy wanting more bandwith from his cable modem. Suggestion: Drill a hole in the top to let the data spill out. Also, the Drink Your Piss thread.

Noni was a great champion of Doobie, which was a shame as he left after the fall of the Doobs and I felt he was a great poster. 'Thats just the kind of low cunning I'd expect from an Alabama sewer man' will always make me laugh.

Its really underselling how Soundmonkey gave this rousing speech about how it was a moral duty to help this entrepreneur who was poor and help improve the economy of his hillbilly town. It was some MLK poo poo.

RentACop posted:This might be more for the "forgotten forum thing" thread but does anyone have links to, I'm having trouble describing it but it was like a gbs thread where people talked about how their parents were mean to them, and it spawned a FYAD thread with mocking stories about how their dad bought them a "worlds shittiest homo" mug for their birthday and so on I don't remember this but I do remember a similar kind of thread, where people talked about poo poo their mom/dad did, but in context they were clearly talking about their pets (not an actual example, but it would be something like, "My dad threw up on the kitchen floor and then scratched me when I was cleaning it up").

I'm reading the thread about the guy who claimed Telltale scratched up his Jurassic Park jeep but apparently it was his fault and the thread sharply turn on him when they find out. Currently I'm on the part where reddit and neogaf are posting about how scummy TellTale are and TellTale's facebook page is full of jeep comments. Can't wait for the turn

I barely remember the Doobie poo poo. Like I remember early on before the KS was over and something felt "off" to begin with (maybe it was the nauseating hot dog photography). GBS was already bad but absolutely became unreadable and stayed that way other than a couple recent photoshop threads. Labes for days posted:Doobie, for the mods who championed him and all the goons who sent him money instead of, I dunno, hosting another GBS Matènwa fundraiser. This is what makes me goddamn mad. Matènwa and Heifer International ought to be what GBS organizes around, not some racist scum from Alabama.

Once the thread turned I think that fed into a bit of the fervor. Mr. Boone is still my favorite thing I caught "live" in all the time I've been here. Using the forum as the medium to tell the story really helped suspend my belief especially when the character was kind of a dick. (Like, you're a super alien species but you forgot how to be polite? idk, that's just my personal thing.)

No matter how many years you've been here, how bored you are, or how many threads, sagas, and memes you've read, the SA forums will never lose their ability to unpleasantly surprise you. Yesterday I finished reading the steroids thread and I regret doing so.Syd Midnight posted:started having nocturnal emissions and fits of rage ... probably not going to see age 40 ... met some cool swole bros at the gym who gave him free research-chemical-quality steroids and showed him how to inject it, so now he goes down to the gym to do steroids with his buddies and share tips on dealing with their infected trackmarks ...
