They're saying they talked to Boba who admitted to being turt, and it seems she's currently saying she uses vpns all the time (presumably as a defense for why the IPs were the same)

That's how it reads to me at least

holy poo poo. i cant believe jeff would weave a conspiracy to frame boba like this.

I certainly didn't know that she reregged immediately. (I was a simple website coder and.....thinking about other things on 12/26/19) She got the same treatment as any other permabanned person - without any reason to look it up, she went under the radar. Given that I don't believe she actually built pipe bombs to blow things up with, when she did eventually admit to me she had reregged after clearly seeming to be in a much better place, I didn't just reflexively ban her.

I guess I was insufficiently jaded in the realities of how someone might misuse this site. I certainly wanted to believe that people who have mental health crises, even ones that are disastrous to their posting careers, can work on themselves and get themselves to a place where they can post again in the medium term. I am....no longer so optimistic after a few years of this and frankly that sucks. Clearly I made a bad call here, this mess was avoidable, but that's what it was.
I don't think it was a bad call at the time, even though it ended poorly. Call me naive if you like, but I'm all for second chances. It's just hard to judge how genuine (or not) someone is being over the internet.
In any case, it appears the right steps are being/have been taken.

wait, was Boba being a Turtlicious rereg actually a forums secret? I thought that was an open secret and just had no idea Turt was the pipe bomber

I had no idea at all. I'm not surprised Boba was somebody, but with 95% of the references I saw to Turtlicious being about them getting perma'd for wannabe terrorism, it never even entered my mind that they might still be around.

This genuinely loving sucks. Both Boba's actions (which are just as reprehensible and unforgivable as SPHs, for the exact same reasons) and also because as someone who has done CM work I understand entirely the feeling of not being able to trust people can come back from bad mental health episodes that destroy their posting career. Its unfortunate but as the saying goes "when someone tells you who they really are, believe them."

Thank you for being candid about why Boba Pearl was around after the Methane Farm Bomb Threat Escapade. Thank you for taking your time to confirm the weirdness of the situation. Thank you for the policy going forward about Avatar buying.

I would like to humbly request, if you have no ETA, that anonymous av buys be temporarily disabled while that fix is being worked on, as it sounds like it is, because despite Boba Pearl abusing this scenario I still think that is an option the forum should exercise for the safety of its users.

Anyway, my only response to all the other poo poo that happened here is this:

Am I misremembering the order of things, or haven't there been other accounts that have been banned for being Turt re-regs well after Boba started posting?

Nah, this is the most recent one before the Boba rereg. Look out for a surprise cameo!

yeah tbh as someone who was acted very unhinged during mental health crises irl and had friends stick by regardless i agree it's a good thing to be willing to give a second chance.
Admittedly i never got to the level of unhinged where i was planning to carry out terrorist attacks though

haha, wow

I remember learning about Turtilicious from -- of all people!!! - Boba Pearl back in one of the original iterations of PYF Sagas. This post now comes across as especially, uh, well, revealing, I guess??:

Boba Pearl posted:

Turtlicious fell into a hole because she was mentally ill, and didn't have access to medication. She posted a lot about things, and had multiple cries for help as she tried to give away all her things so she could kill herself, or blew up on people for small things, or related everything to her traumatic upbringing. Almost every post of hers was a desperate cry for help.

As someone with the same mental illnesses, it's easy to see she lied a lot for attention when she was off the meds. The fact that she posted about bombing poo poo, dismantling explosives, and stuff like that, is I think a lie that she was telling because in her hosed up little world, being an eco terrorist was the coolest most bad rear end thing she could be, but even so it has to be treated as credible, because you can't have terrorist 101 poo poo on your website.

Jeffrey has mentioned that she is going through the transition process, that she now has a support system that is taking care of her, and has found medicine that actually works.

it backs up what Jeff said about why he let her back in. this kind of expositional monologue about yourself is also straight out of a soap opera and makes this already surreal situation even more unbelievable
