I reread the thread and was kind of disappointed to see her store out of business, but I mentioned it to someone I know and it turns out she's a friend of a friend of a friend. Without saying anything identifying, she ditched the mermaid business in favor of career advancement and is making a very good (six figure income) living.

I looked him up the other week for a "things you didn't know still existed" sort of thread, and yeah, he's still doing his thing. I didn't stick around to find out what "walrus cock" meant.
Thank you for testing my self control regarding looking up things in incognito windows and leading me to the classic 2009 YouTube video "Walrus Sucks Own Cock." I would very much like to start today over in a timeline where I didn't do that.

I’m pretty sure Fiesta Cat backfired more on the guy who had them made and was left with hundreds of them in his basement after they barely sold

I think it took forever to import them and people had given up and demanded refunds, thinking it was a scam.

Remember the thread where someone found an actual get out frog at a thrift store or something and then found the manufacturer? As I recall they tried to get the company to do some more frogs but the company wanted a commitment to order like 200 of them and goons just weren't that interested. I need to look into that again.

Edit: Ah poo poo I forgot I was self-appointed forums historian.

A surprised looking frog plush in the background of a porno shoot led to at least (conservative estimate) 11 different emotes.

2009: A goon spies the frog in a shop window in Germany, thus kicking off Goon Search 2k9: Find the original stuffed :frog: for purchase- https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3173274

2010: The frog is run into the ground and posting it is forbidden for a bit.

2011: A frog is found at a garage sale. Image is dead but apparently brought out the creeps. - https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3296228

Finally 2011: Frog is found in goon's childhood toys and they auction it off in the SA Mart. Goons get ahold of the pattern and begin making knockoff frogs, selling them as high as 95 bucks a pop. - https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3405767

What a weird and dumb thing, to pay that much for an internet frog.

There was another part of the saga where someone contacted the porn producer or something and he was like “we get tons of requests about that frog every year and I’d love to help but we just have absolutely no clue at this point”

Didn't the porn performer in the shoot also have one hosed-up foot, like one giant toe instead of five normal toes? I vaguely remember a bunch of goons getting run off her official forum for asking about her "mangled hoof," but I might be thinking of someone else. Can't remember her name, or if it was ever actually confirmed that she had a hoof.

My favorite bit about that frog is the photo of the model and the frog where someone did a bunch of geometry on the image to work out the size of the at-that-point undiscovered plush.

Yes I KNEW their was something else about that. She hid it in all the shoots she did (well she would wouldn’t she) but there were one or two photos where it was visible. There’s no way I’m googling for deformed foot porno tho.

The star citizen thread is an anomaly because I don’t give a gently caress about the game but 5% of it is entertaining because of actual insane news, original content, or weirdos who meltdown because they joined because of it and don’t know what something awful is

The main problem is the other 95% is thousands of pages a day of nothing so you pretty much have to luck into the funny stuff and I don’t think I’ve checked it for like half a year, it’s the obsessive doobie people x100 basically

Speaking of failed goon projects, remember a couple years ago when a dude claimed to have found a copy of Super Hornio Bros, the "lost" 90s porn parody starring Ron Jeremy? And then another goon volunteered to remaster it for everyone, only to reveal he had literally ZERO a/v experience, then detailing an increasingly elaborate set up that would only degrade the quality of the tape should he use it, and finally him destroying the tape, but not before confirming it was a mistitled copy of the sequel that is much easier to find. The entire time the thread was just screaming at the OP that he was a total idiot for trusting this guy. Once the destruction happened, the thread morphed, with the OP giving himself a punishment in that he would make cool avatars for everyone that made fun of him, on the grounds that it had to be sincere and well thought out. Not to toot my own horn, but immediately after one goon wrote like a friggin dissertation of roast towards the OP, I posted "OP fat." and still qualified. Good times.

QCS, and especially the mod feedback thread, is a natural magnet for drama since it’s basically just saying that the mods were right/wrong to probate someone or gas a thread or whatever which can easily turn into slapfights and of course shitposting is especially irritating in a forum that’s supposed to be semi-serious about improving the site. But also while I don’t have any real opinion on the other two Blue Train and Who What Now are just extremely obnoxious all the time everywhere and I suspect this was just the last straw out of many.
