Yeah going back and reading the threads from the time is extremely tedious, and I have to imagine it was even worse when it was actively happening. It's best experienced through highlights of the dumbest and funniest parts.

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.

Yeah that's pretty much right. The mod response was something like "that was a weird thing to post! anyway..." and nothing else was done. I think the post might be blanked now? If it isn't it should be.

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...

The reason I asked when The Troubles happened was cause I remember back in 2017 when Lowtax banned some LPers and a group of them all self banned in retaliation and made their own forum. Then right after Jeff got the forums one of them went and invoked The Troubles as to why they wouldn't come back. Its surreal seeing "Do they still let the shittier subforums harass people" from users who left 2-3 years before the blowup even happened.

not sure anything happened to the guy who doxxed skylark other than getting chain-probed in fyad, the grey forums hate skylark for some reason though. She would post the most amazingly inoffensive stuff in GBS and people would just rage. I don't even think that was the only forum either.

IIRC it was because some things Lowtax said or did re: Shmorky during a Gaming Garbage stream.

Yeah, they accused him (on twitter) of being a terrible parent so he just forums banned them and a small number of other people banme'd in support, but like only one of those people had posted on the forums in the past two years anyway.

I think it's a pre YouTube video. It was trolling some racists that were talking to Stile and Lowtax by revealing themselves as actually being black. That's all I remember.

My video is much more simple, but I also was a couple of minutes late. That thread burned too bright.
