i did not find the os-tan thread but i did find a thread from 2006 about goons talking about how they stand up when a woman enters/leaves a roomZen Master posted:I'm from the South, and I was brought up to do all sorts of things like this; my parents tought me to always hold the door for a lady, give up your seat on the bus for her, stand up when she enters the room, etc. To be honest, I thought it was kind of a charming tradition, so I stuck with it . . . until I started getting really weird looks from the women I did these things for. Like, a girl would come into the room, I'd stand up, and she'd give me this look that said, "What the gently caress are you doing?" So I stopped doing it. adnam posted:I do it all the time. duerr posted:I do quite a few of the 'standard' gestures. CaptBushido posted:Nah, I hold the doors open for dudes who are behind me, too. But even still, I'm not really gender-blind about it. Inexplicable Humblebrag posted:the "tans" were for each forum, because the goons had unearthed the website of someone who enjoyed art of anime women being punched in the stomach until they vomit.

So that's why I remember TCC-tan My shameful posting secret is I joined SA because my stoner buddy was on TCC and I wanted to buy Shivadas pipes, he also had scored a lot of cool deals on SA Mart I had heard of SA before when I was playing a MUD and a player thought I was a goon and I didn't understand so he asked if I had stairs in my house, as if I would know THAT if I didn't know goon??? Anyway, visited the site and saw the mailman dog those are my shoes they don't even fit photoshop and the bee barbecue thread but didn't understand why everyone was saying gently caress??? I was a child so I didn't have a credit card to get an account until college, when said stoner buddy showed me the forums behind the paywall and I regged up.

goon telephone but wasn't there that thing in LF that became a sorta meme about how its violent and threatening to stretch in the presence of a woman? It's common sense poo poo to respect personal space (and a lot of freaks don't) but that era had some pretty wild takes trying way hard to prove you weren't like those other nerds and treating women like easily spooked deer

It was shut down with no explanation because something bad happened. Possibly somethings bad. Iirc someone asked what that meant and an admin said something like “out of respect for the victim, we aren’t giving details”.

Also are they a judge in a court of law? Did a bailiff announce them into the room? Did someone just say ALL RISE? Is hail to the chief playing? Are they playing the star spangled banner at a sporting event and you're in Texas so it's not worth the risk of getting assaulted over  ?No? Then stay seated, dork Edit: I also thought maybe they meant man spreading, which is more about not being a douche bag and taking up extra space for no reason And maybe not airing out your filthy swamp crotch if you're like the typical 2010 goon hygiene-wise

People asked a few pages ago about Randaconda. I was the one that looked up his stuff after another FL goon gave me his name. He hadn’t posted for a couple months at that point, so we wondered what had happened. I used to be a lawyer, so it was trivial for me to dig up his case documents. He uploaded a CSAM picture to imgur who flagged it and reported his IP to the authorities. It made it to his local police station or sheriff’s office (I can’t recall which) who knocked on his door one evening and asked to come in. He let them in and had more CSAM open on his computer. He pleaded guilty to a number of charges for possession of CSAM and was sentenced to 10 years.
