It hasn't been deleted, the link in his post is actually to

rather than the whole URL.
Theophany's quote of it has the actual URL for some reason. :iiam:

Holy Moly! DARKSEID IS!

Sorry if it was in the last couple pages and I missed it, but I don’t recall anyone mentioning Zaurg taking his ball and going home this week after his thread was moved from BFC to E/N in the past few weeks. He never did sell the shitcoins and his shining moment was posting a direct, uncensored link to C&B torture porn on Twitter. Not a “great” saga, just the latest in a decade of a poster so pathetic they felt the need to snipe back at every bit of good advice they got.

I posted this in the zaurg thread, but I might have more luck here. I’m looking for an e/n case.

“I only remember one guy who got at least one babysitter pregnant as a divorcée, paid for her abortion, and then hemmed and hawed quite a bit before agreeing a vasectomy was a good idea.

I think he also had strict rules about his children not interrupting his gaming time?

drat, this is pretty memorable but I’m struggling for a name.”

Yeah that was him, made his kids buy their own Xbox controllers because he wouldn't share his and exclusively hit the middle child because he reminded lljsilk of his ex-wife, the kid's mother

He managed to be a worse dad than that guy who's kid walked alone to school on Sunday and got taken away by the government

i remember those threads, yes it was Lljksilk or however you spell it

he's got several sagas, his biggest issue was terrible impulse control so he couldn't say no to sex whenever it presented itself, and he had a keen eye for vulnerable women

like a pig rooting for desperate truffles

this is why we all yelled at him about the vasectomy

Oh God that guy. Those threads were magical and that's not a joke he got his babysitter pregnant and had her get an abortion so he didn't have another one. I think she was also a piece of work and about as stable as he was?

At least CPS dad fixed his poo poo by quitting WoW, selling the Alienware computer, getting rid of a bunch of hoarder junk, and moving to a better trailer. He got his daughter back by becoming a much better person.

Far too few of these sagas ends with good endings like that.

CPS showing up was his (and I imagine the wife’s too) big wake up call, thank God. Probably the best examples of goon success along with the goon who struggled out of homelessness (“Ask me about living in a library”) and Vainglory, who shared his struggle with losing a significant amount of weight.

That was such a breathtaking good ending how he and his wife completely turned their life around. Granted, it took having their kid(s) taken away, but it showed at the end they knew what really mattered.

Oh man I forgot about library goon! That was like at least a year or two long thread and they ended up working at a cool museum or something, right? That was such a ride. I would love to read that one again if anyone has a link.

there's also that goon who tried to cut his own head off with a tablesaw and the other one who got high on crack and set himself on fire, both of whom seem to have ultimately decided to stop doing things of that nature

Addiction kind of creeps up on you. It hijacks your brain completely but you don't really notice. It can take a major shock to make you see how bad things are.

Not only that but he genuinely though that middle child might been from his ex having sex with her brother and lying about it being his.

Irresponsible man of low intelligence who continually seeks out financial advice, ignores it, then becomes actively hostile to people who try to help him.

Notable for having a (now ex) wife who had even less interest in financial stability than he did. She made them spend money on mlm clothes hangers and easily overwhelmed his meager reasoning skills. She engaged in infidelity, which Zaurg responded to by having blackouts.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I'm glad to hear Library Goon ended up well. The subject matter was too crushing for me to keep up with that thread long.
