It’s gross and it’s been gross for a long time and I find it incredibly edifying to see others saying that. I appreciate the way this conversation has gone despite not appreciating the source of it.

honestly, yeah. I definitely dropped off the forums during that era because it was so gross and so boring and so hateful. shame it took that long.

i haven't heard about this what's up w star citizen & doxxing?

its not that interesting but basically, star citizen is some space sim game that has a notoriously large amount of kickstarter backing money on it and has not arrived. this prompted a huge thread tracking and mocking it on sa. so far things seem standard for sa mock safari, but eventually some dude who made like a well known series of games called derek smart joined in the fun, who has a grudge with the people behind the star citizen thing, and hes made a mod. for some reason the entire thread seems to evolve into obsessively poring over every detail of the devs lives, where they work, etc, and trawling through every post on a subreddit for fans of the game. derek smart seems to publish some info on some person or something, and hes probated i think, but the posters keep digging for personal info on devs, even starting a theory that a lead dev woman starred in a porn and trying to find where it is. some managed to locate the office floors via google maps and photos they posted to fb. me and inri start trolling the thread with posts like "it is super weird to obsessively follow all these people around, do not try to figure out where they live or work", cue the several probes and bans.

there seems to be a guy whos trolling them often and derek smart says he knows who the troll is, posts a picture of a group of people and points to a teenager with teh adage "thats him, on the wheelchair".

the game of thrones sex fanfic freaks and the applewhite guy are probably the maddest ive got at these forums

I’m not sure it’s possible to top the maddest I got at these forums, which was in the homegrown days. A significant portion of goons at that time were loving awful. It was difficult to even be in ancillary ircs without hearing some hosed up things.

This poo poo onion just keeps having poo poo layers though.

Fake edit: please, forums, do not try to top these ‘maddest at’ experiences. I don’t have the vim and vigor of my youth to match that anger.

I think "that's him in the wheelchair" came before a lot of the other poo poo but as always when you kind of lol it off or encourage it, it just escalates and then he doxxed some dude on reddit just because he was obnoxious (on reddit? hard to believe but it's true)

I can't honestly believe there's still a big star citizen thread even now

I posted in the thread for a bit because it was funny to laugh at the fail game and also I had no idea about the past insanity. Then someone showed up asking for information about Chris Roberts' wifes' kids from a previous marriage or whatever. Even if people rightfully called him a freak a thread that attracts that kind of people is hosed up and should be destroyed (and the posters put into the blender from that one Treehouse of Horror episode)

the whole issue with star citizen is that the devs are barely doing anything or adding content so past a few months there's very little to talk about but the thread generated its own 'culture' and people wanted to entertain their friends by generating new content to post about so they just started digging into weirder and weirder poo poo

I never know when people say cartoon if they mean drawing, animation, or newspaper comic.

If there were a tag I’d want beyond this Rebecca Black one it would be your book it one. Those pizzas were my elementary school driving force. If I read 10 books can I get a tiny pizza?

It’s mostly web cartoons, though we’ve had a bunch of people posting historical indie comic books and classics. I’m finishing up Hothead Paisan: Radical Lesbian Terrorist; Youremother is posting Bitchy Butch, and KennyMann666 just posted the first part of Beanworld today.

Also, I can’t give you a pizza, but if you read 10 books and post reviews in the fundraising thread, I’ll donate $20 to a literacy non-profit and you can use the good karma earned to justify eating a bad pizza.

Same here.
Been messing around with synthesizers for a couple years. Having piles of fun, making absolutely unlistenable rackets. Robot farts, and wild, strange tones. Occasional donks and doots.
The real fun starts when you decide to stop caring about how "good" whatever you make is, or how "good" you do in the game.

vvv Thanks, but not all of it is. Plenty is unlistenable. The occasional donks and doots are the bits that come out sounding good.

star citizen had the potential to be a really good game imo but its this far into development and is still full of bugs like clipping through a planet and exploding your ship (which you then have to pay insurance for) when you try and warp from the wrong station

Game of Thrones is a very edgy series with a lot of rape. The Book Barn thread for the book series decided to lean into this because this was 2008 and rape jokes were super edgy and funny.

The mod at the time did nothing about this and the thread was able to egg each other on until someone wrote and published "Game of Bones, by T.B. Thread" as a parody of the series.

Eventually the HBO series actually came out, invasions between the book series and HBO series were had, and the mods stepped in to stop the invasions but not actually police the thread.

The threads shambled on, occasionally being recreated, until people stopped giving a poo poo and mods actually started slightly paying attention to the thread.
