Can’t find anything concrete now that you mention it. I have heard he died multiple times and never really dug into it mostly because you know what you’re going to find if you go looking for the goatse man.

Tangentially saga-related but somebody started a Twitter account that's literally just this thread, and today they posted a big reveal and lmfao its loving Guy Mann running the account

Vvvvvv My bad if so, I just found out they remade this thread again and I don't want to crap it up!

since he's obviously still reading: gently caress off guy mann

Even funnier is that almost immediately someone said, "huh, isn't it funny that ZDR has the same name as the goatse man?" and they didn't put 2 and 2 together for days afterward.

One of the guys in the video popped up and posted about it the last time this was brought up but I'm having trouble finding it.

E: I'm 99% sure it was in the "tribute to Lowtax" goldmined thread

Speaking of that thread when I peeked into there everyone was dogpiling some goon who was keeping a dead goldfish in their freezer for some reason and I was wondering what happened there? That was last year so it should be kosher, right? :ohdear:

Come to think of it that's probably the greatest tribute to the founder of Something Awful possible.

I won't carry the conversation forward, but I thought you were joking about him making a 1-hour expose about himself, and then I looked at the twitter and I guess it really is that long lmao

The few times I've read KF they all sound like terminally boomer old GBS style goons, probably because they are. Just really classically dumb people. They talk about photoshop friday like it was a holy ritual that SJW's are preventing from making a comeback, instead of it being an extremely old internet phase that has long passed

Somehow I was active on the forums and even posting in CSPAM when The Troubles happened and remained blissfully unaware of anything except that time Party Plane Jones was doing his very stupid "Discord Nazi Sting Operation" or whatever the gently caress, and I really don't know how I avoided learning anything about what was going on. I didn't know any of this poo poo until I became a mod and got caught up on everything that had been going on while I was posting about video games. Is that weird? That might be weird.

I remember when Fly Molo canonballed into the byob webcomics thread of all places with a lengthy essay accusing fyad (skylark specifically I think) of sexually propositioning lowtax in exchange for preferential treatment

he was also one of maybe two people still standing up for koala’s march after the honey trap thing was unearthed

I think it was Lucy they accused (based on some joke post about feet pics I think) but they also dropped Skylark's real-life identity in the BYOB webcomics thread and somehow were never banned for it

i only heard about this because dickeye unearthed this as retaliation over PPJ permabanning them and i was in a goon group chat with one of their friends

the few weeks after where there were bad faith lists of KF plants being passed around goon discords deffo sucked too

did they buy it because someone else would drive it for them, or because they just wanted to own it as a collectable or what? it feels unreasonable to assume it didn't come up.

Given that they then wrecked it while driving it, it would appear if it came up the goon in questions went "it'll be fiiiiiiinnnnnneeeee"

IIRC it was Skylark and her sister that info was posted about, and the moderator involved basically went "whoa what was that, anyway..." and never so much as edited anything out. I dunno if it was the webcomics thread or what, but that's the story I remember hearing and being pretty grossed out by. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyway, here's a less-gross saga in two parts:
Me and my friends made a game where you kill mutants by skateboarding and its sequel, Real talk thread, in which someone posts a game jam game they were involved with in Imp Zone, receives polite and constructive feedback, and it's off to the races from there...
