Does anyone remember the thread where a goon’s roommate actually built a smaller apartment in their apartment? I’ve been trying to find it because a friend says that sounds made-up, but there were pictures and everything.

I remember this. They were putting drywall just in the middle of the room and running extension cords into it. There was like a weight bench inside the little room and the roommate was convinced he could rent it out.

I just removed it from my bookmarks a.couple of months ago. It was in E/N.

Yeah. The dude built a small bedroom out of the apartment living room with some drywall

The new bedroom had the light switch for the kitchen.

I love when someone is insanely dumb but driven and motivated enough to carry out his retarded ideas. I don't know if it's cause i'm from the New York area but the term 'slumlord' and stories of landlords dividing up apartments to maximize profits is a common enough concept to understand that you can't just do that.

I loving hated how 50FA/humpermonkey would ruin the old ghost story threads with his poo poo and the legion of sycophants who’d spend pages just quoting and egging him on. I tried to read some but I never got to any ghost parts. It was all just him being SO BADASS in THE EIGHTIES and btw he was also TOTALLY BANGING this HOT AS gently caress FEMALE SOLDIER.

Wasn't there some pretty girl in a wheelchair who posted some selfies in PYF and maybe just talked about her life in feminism threads or something and then suddenly came soberly clean after like 3 years and was some dude who just couldn't stand it anymore?

Yeah, I was browsing through the very beginning of the selfie thread and found "her" posts. If I remember correctly, it very suddenly stopped with an announcement that "she" was actually a dude pretending to be a girl this entire time and he abandoned the board.

Gunchika only lasted a few months, and it was the selfie thread.

What possesses someone to even do things like pretend to be a wheelchair girl? It doesn't sound fun or even that interesting. It's more interesting that they did it in the first place than the actual thing that they did.

I seem to also remember SOME of 50FootAnt's stories being okay? But the derails he caused were obnoxious.

There is a woman with a wheelchair who posted in the feminism thread and posts about her life and e/n stuff. She's still active so I don't really want to give her username if it's gonna lead to anyone being a jerk to her. But yeah you aren't misremembering she exists.

Right I mixed up gunchika with the real goonette, but i do think "gunchika" did a teary confession after about how it took over and they had to explain themselves after they were made? id love a link to that post

as for why would they do it? ca 2003 i talked to folks on aim pretending to have lost my legs on 9/11 (as evidenced by me in a wheelchair on webcam wrapped in an american flag) except the story was i was run over by a cabbie in queens and i didnt lose my legs. also i only did it for a weekend some hours at a time
