I remember that thread getting as tedious as a computer guy's sex blog would be expected. Is there a highlight reel?

Not really -- individual posts are tedious as poo poo -- but two sad-funny trends:

1) The dude initially posting about how all women love deepthroating, getting pushback (turns out women are individuals and some of them find deepthroating physically/mentally uncomfortable, who fuckin' knew?) and doubling down on it, reporting back with "turns out (profession) loves deepthroating too!" reports every time he hooked up with some woman who did it

2) Every time he was accused of "loving randos," responding with explanations of the deep connections he held with these women, how several were close intimate friends, etc., despite every previous post about said women being in the format of "#7: 43, social worker, kind of chunky, loves anal"

Also he signed up as an escort on an online sex marketplace and is making jokes on YOSPOS about prostituting himself for a new video card? So that's pretty special.

TBH the part about Sharepoint admins being into deepthroating (and probably other uncomfortable/degrading stuff) makes sense when you really think about it.

Jesus Christ I remembered this being infuriating but forgot all the little details why. Bringing a an intense and huge working dog that's almost never a pet into the city, into a household with a 2 year old autistic child and an 8 month old premature baby, to be used for protection and showing, neither of which the breed is good at doing. What the gently caress. Was there ever any followup to what sounds like a total nightmare?

Sorry FactsAreUseless but you kinda cut me off, not sure what was wrong with that question but whatever


based on this it seems that ZDR deleted all his posts so people wouldn't be obsessing over them. Possibly off site.

The funny thing about that is I have old posts I can't delete or edit because I'm a just a regular poster, so I paid for a new account which is my only option if I wish to continue posting here. But you used my IP address to out me. So I bought a new account. You again used my IP address to out me. I bought a new account and then ZDR used my IP address to out me. I've paid over $50 for new accounts and upgrades only to have you guys use the private information only you have access to to once again link me to personal information I can't get rid of.

Normally I wouldn't bring attention to this but I'm already getting security alerts so I figure damage is done.

I just wanted to say that it was pretty ironic that ZDR said a public facebook was doxxing while simultaneously doing an IP lookup on me and publicly posting the results of his findings. The irony kicked into hyperdrive when he just deleted his entire SA presence while things like my Origin/EA account are now locked and my only option to keep posting is to pay for a fourth account and hope that you don't just do another IP lookup and publicly announce who I am for a fourth time.

I have never seen a poster more psychotically obsessed with being banned from a forum like Fat Shat Sings. Like, with the other serial re-regging permabanned guys it's clearly just some kind of exercise in credit card fraud or whatever, but that dude keeps coming back specifically to cry about how he got banned unjustly.

Schizoids tend to take themselves off of their meds, because if they miss just one dose there is a good chance that their belief that the meds are just the government lizardmens way of controlling their obviously superior minds.

At least, this is a thing I have heard from people claiming to be mental health professionals, and my limited experience with people with the disorder does support this.

The ZDR part is not true, he went into the thread to confirm it was just a result of him loving around with the database and experimenting with his account - he didn't mean to delete himself.

I like the forums a bunch, too. There is such a thing as placing too much importance and caring too much about on-line stuff, for sure, but it is also really dumb imo when people take pride in not caring when they have been part of a community and interacted with some of the same people on and off for literally years. It is OK to care.

I'm glad that ZDR is still around, as well.

Man, exactly. The newspaper comics thread in BSS was a treasure that kept me entertained for months while I was laid up with a fractured vertebra (slipped on ice, fell down cement steps, etc etc). And I've gotten a lot of happiness out of contributing to that thread; I took over posting a comic when another poster got banned, and added a couple out of curiosity and interest and as time went on. It's fun, and I know it probably adds to people's lives like other posts added to mine.

I care a lot about this community. It's really grand. Neat people have come together to make neat things.

Get bashed, platonist!

Moneyball (a BFC mod) called Tiny Brontosaurus an “it” and now keeps probating them instead of apologizing. Now, maybe Tiny Brontosaurus shouldn’t keep asking for an apology in the Bad With Money thread. However, if you’re moderating a forum, and there’s drama going on, and you could easily stop it just by saying “I’m sorry I said that hurtful thing,” wouldn’t that be a no brainer?

I dunno if I have an incomplete picture of the story there, but these probations are a really bad look for Moneyball.

He probated her again when she called out another poster for using a racial epithet. The overreaction people seem to have to her "Can you please treat me like an actual human being and not a thing?" is embarrassing and a simply reply of "Ok" would be enough to allow those threads to move on. Instead they get half a page of derails about it because other people are hell bent on doubling down about it, and then when it gets TB actually frustrated they pivot to the "Calm down woman, you're being hysterical!" pearl clutching.

From what I can tell yes, Moneyball really is just being petty and abusing his mod powers to silence anyone who says he was in the wrong. But, I mean, who ever heard of mods abusing their powers?!
