Usually the paper bag test is used by racists to determine if someone is too black. Negromancer was using it to make sure they were black enough. I just wanted to make sure the absurdity wasn't lost on people.

Paper bag tests are extra absurd because there are olive-skinned Europeans that are darker than an average paper bag. I get that it's a convenient tool when paper bags are easy to get but it's...uh...not an accurate one.

Ive heard coupons is the most drama-filled subforum and I honestly have no idea if its a joke or not because I could see it

Affiliate links and referral codes bring out the worst in some men.

I guess its just because I spend the most time there, but I always think of AI as the most drama free sub.

Then I remember that places like Take a Hike exist, even though they only have like 3 people there.

He's so good at deals posting some of the infrequent users think he's an advanced deals-searching bot.

He also used to run a SlickDeals type of site (DealMeIn.Net?) but posting poo poo here is apparently more chill.

I think they literally had every poster but like one or two on ignore.

Lincoln's Wax had a really long run and so has Hieronymous Alloy.

He couldn't change the grave/backtick to an apostrophe because Radium; it broke a bunch of stuff.

I think he was the longest running mod when he stepped down. He modded TFR since its inception. IIRC something like 12 years.

You can email Cyrano4747 at the Google mail if you don't have a report button, like me. Glad to see some solid people were picked for this new position.

Oh god yeah Dr elderan has to be the longest serving. He's been around for longer then I have it feels. I still love when he posts just burns in bfc. Moneyball threatened to coupons someone and the deal guru popped in with

"I don't want his dumbass gently caress you"

I think the period where fishmech was chained still haunts him. Nothing beats the guy who found the ignore limit because people kept bothering his coupon threads.

I thought it wasn't so much that there was a limit as it was ignoring too many people crashed the forums.

Yeah that was the joke :v:

he literally broke the forum because he had over 10k posters on ignore. And once it hit the magical limit when one of said posters tried to post it crashed.

Follow-up: I consulted a panel of Star Trek Online drama researchers, and they have informed me that ShadowDragon is a racist on Reddit nowadays (spoilered because it's unsettlingly racist):

That post was originally here, and he deleted it quickly as he was obviously logged into the wrong account.

He also likes posting awful Star Trek Online fanfic (and ruminations on the breast sizes of his MMO characters), but that's leading us outside of the SA portion of his saga.

Keru posted:

No loving way, hahaha.

The best part about his probation in the Battletech thread is that it wasn't from people reporting him, it was because he'd made a ton of reports about people 'voting wrong' or whatever.

On top of all this, ShadowDragon also went on to mod Stellaris and had another slight resurgence there when he not only made some weird �realism� mod that just happened to have a bunch of ethnic cleansing mechanics in it, it turned out he stole said mechanics wholesale from some other gross mod and the resulting steam workshop slapfight kept the normally terrible Stellaris thread laughing for a week. The dude is just several kinds of very entertaining failure.

Link to the start of that in the Stellaris thread?

Except. Except! They didn't get the new improved autoapprovals, they still only autoapprove sixers (provided the new code is working right ). Jeffrey has been busy.

I'm amazed that changing some code didn't result in every avatar turning into Goatse or something considering the legendary horribleness of the forum's code.

Cumshitter has a seriously impressive amount of CUM* that he handles, and as he is a consummate professional the identities of the individuals he draws from are kept strictly confidential. It's just one of the many advantages of his trademark Business Hole philosophy.
