There is someone on my FFXIV world who is always just lying on the ground dead a few steps away from a primary teleport hub. They're wearing cash-shop gear. This has been going on for months. I have no idea if they're actually playing the game when I'm not online and somehow just always going back to "dead at the teleport hub" by the time I log in, but I'm kind of impressed at this point

is it Table Cloth

Yes, but having a clearance is not a right, and people have been arrested for discussing classified programs on this forum before.

Years ago. Buddy posted about some technical stuff he shouldn’t have posted and Welp. He ended up dying by suicide iirc.

psydude posted:

Yep. Posted about the Air Force's nuclear detonation monitoring program (like how they detect underground tests and poo poo). It wound up drawing a conspicuous amount of foreign traffic to the forum, to the point where the admins had to make GiP members only.

He stopped posting one day, and then came back a few years later to say that he had been arrested by counter intelligence regarding it. I don't think he was ever formally prosecuted, but it basically ruined his career. Some time after that, a former roommate posted that he'd killed himself.



I have never heard this before and wow yeah that's sad

I usually lurk this thread but I gotta say that it unironically owns that there’s so many parts of the forums I know nothing about that even in this, the thread for explaining forums lore and poo poo, I still have no fuckin’ clue what this means. I love reading about the insane goings on outside of the small pockets of Video Games that I read.

it is pretty weird, I only became aware of Driftingmouse because in one other thread they were saying some lovely thing about a youtuber who happened to have adhd, and then they began their whole main character gimmick of demanding Cinema Discusso threads be restarted for 2023 and kept eating probes for it, alongside the obituary GBS gimmick. Caught a ban for doing the "take the T out of LGBT" meme and then tried to re-register, prompting admins to take a deeper look into who they really are.

Dude constantly posting no effort obit threads for D-list at best celebrities and others. When he'd get probated, he's register burner accounts to keep posting them. Just a completely deranged individual so naturally the usual suspects responsible for GBS adored him and gave him with the "oh what a little scamp you are" treatment.

It's not the same as this guy but we booted a few people from Games because they only ever posted in the Star Citizen thread - I mean, only EVER posted there, this is the Star Citizen forum for them - and they hadn't absorbed the rest of SA's general culture and how it's shifted over the years. So one long-time poster there thought it was fine to start expressing textbook transphobic 'I just wish they wouldn't dilute what it means to be a woman' poo poo, and when they got booted suddenly there were two more all 'oh it's all WITCH HUNTS now? it's all WRONGTHINK now? people can't have OPINIONS now?'

There really wasn't a reason to suspect Dm was a permabanned poster, but I think the gimmick started going to their head in the last few months and it caused them to slip up

The crazy part about this is that he has been doing it for quite some time. At least the last 2 years or so(?) and no one ever bothered to check if he was someone who was perma’d.
