ArfJason posted:wait what Neopet's first wave of investors were scientologists. The founders of the site were British and didn't really get the whole thing. The whole company was sold to Viacom at some point the mid 2000s and I don't remember what happened after that but I think it got sold again at some point?

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:We're working on this and will have more info in short order. Please don't use me posting in a thread as a way to ask about unrelated things. You're right that QCS needs to open, and maybe I shouldn't have participated in this at all, but that post comes off like a kyoon post except it's about fyad. Its incredibly related, this issue has taken over this particular thread multiple times and its going to continue happening here or elsewhere without a dedicated outlet. If QCS still needs more time for whatever you guys have planned, then please just make a dedicated thread for it somewhere, anywhere

I wonder sometimes what the keyboard goop guy is up to. Malachite_Dragon posted:Oh it was still a copout, but if you're gonna demand someone do that you should be willing to do so yourself. Ideally it would have been a custom job, if eating a sole is doable there must be away. Perfect crowdfund project, just horrific enough to appease the masses.

Goon Fleet in EVE got mentioned earlier as an SA thing that was well known outside of SA. Goon Squad in World of Warcraft was also pretty well known (although the less freeform nature of the game meant less amazing stories than in EVE). Blizzard has even "honored" Goon Squad with items, raid bosses, and putting a goon in charge of the whole game.

Thing with Abe was the copout alone was pretty bad, but it came after the guy would just loving constantly derail shitloads of threads with abrasive mod challenges all the time, kind of just hogging all the attention. The cabal of hangers-on who'd follow him around posting smug poo poo at anyone he challenged really didn't help matters. So the copout is worse because he could dish it out but absolutely not take it. How did that time he got loving owned by a young teenager on twitter go again? Homeless Friend posted:I wonder sometimes what the keyboard goop guy is up to. Didn't that guy have an absolute ton of really gross and awful side-poo poo going on even before he gope his keyboard? I remember something about a purestrain "what the gently caress is wrong with you" level webcomic.

Zero One posted:Goon Fleet in EVE got mentioned earlier as an SA thing that was well known outside of SA. Goons used to be infamous in freeform MMOs, you still see people freaking the gently caress out at the mere mention of SA goons because of previous bad experiences in stuff. Off the top of my head I remember that when Pathfinder Online (lol) was a thing, there was a thread on the official forums specifically about how to stop nefarious goons from pulling their shenanigans.

I will say I was a defender of Abe whilst he had power on the forums. As soon as he lost it I turned on him without remorse. I’ve done it to numerous mods/admins and I’ll do it again in the future.

Black Desert maybe? That sounds familiar. Don't think the guy ran the guild, but he played a lot if I recall.

Ugly In The Morning posted:Was that the game where Tokaii ate a ban in the game thread for saying some tone-deaf poo poo regarding pedos? You're talking about the ArcheAge drama. A guy who goonfleet knew was a pedophile had become a popular member of the ArcheAge goon guild who was good at farming crafting materials. He had been driven out of the EVE groups because he admitted to grooming a teenage Icelandic girl. Tokaii made a long rant in the thread and asserted that 16 was scientifically the hottest age for girls.

hrobi was a woman in, I think her 50s or something who was friends with the Neopets founders and so they'd cheat for her so hard and so obviously that at one time she had 5 neopets (where the hard limit for every other player was 4). If I recall, her stupidly overpowered Aisha, Antorcha, got the killing blow on the Monoceros, which was the culmination of the event where fighting actually became a relevant mechanic, as it had been promised for many years without implementation.
