Just saw a poster with this avatar



does anyone remember the story behind these? IIRC there was a thread about jerking off at work, and posters who were in favor got that avatar from a mod?

I ordered luscious new gemstones from India and made new earrings for my SA mart thread

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread
When I first started reading the forums I noticed that the guy with the avatar of Yoda raping Luke sure was prolific and an rear end in a top hat too. I'll never admit how long it took me before I realized


ohhhhhh a whole bunch of people had that avatar....

This is not quite the same thing but it's similar. The only thing I knew about fyad prior to ~a year ago was that there was a thread where they'd occasionally pick a random non-fyad poster and give that person's avatar to everyone who posted in the thread, or something like that.

Anyway I was apparently chosen for that one time and for several days I was extremely confused and had no idea what the gently caress was going on and why a bunch of people had decided to copy my av.

he was, apparently, the very first person to post the link on the internet and go "haha wtf look at this weird poo poo." the GBS thread he made about it was ground zero for the internet knowing what cakefarts was.

he didn't make the video but he is absolutely why it is a meme

I...never heard of this. But cake fartin' Steve was almost certainly the dude who wouldn't stop posting his dumb fantasy of a woman farting on a cake and melting the icing before making him eat it all over the alt.music.* hierarchy

yeah, I think I'm vaguely familiar with that weirdo, used to hear him mentioned in the same breath as the guy who wanted to be turned into a statue and then covered in hot grits by Natalie Portman

Man one could do an entire book on Usenet weirdos from that time. Like Stan and the Sequencers, the dude who blathered on about how every album ever made was made to synch to certain movies and fabulous unspecified secrets were yours if you connected all the dots and helped him solve the mystery. Weird Al himself posted in his own newsgroup to tell him to go the gently caress away.

Terri Tickle already got 'her' own entire documentary.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Forgive me for re-litigating GroverHaus.

But did he/does he still live in that house? It can't have been fun/comfortable to live in. It was probably even only barely functional.

Did he sell it and move somewhere nice? Is he renting it out?

I only ask because I am a bad person with an interest in prurient internet gossip from years ago.
