Isn't Groverhaus technically intellectual property of Grover? It's like when Ubisoft had to change Notre Dame in their Paris assassin game, because they didn't have rights to use the real thing.

That could be anyone's shed with a mysterious pipe jutting out of the window. Grover doesn't own sole claim to sheds with mysterious pipes jutting out of the windows.

He�d probably gently caress that up bad enough he�d end up with legal ownership of Lethoso and in copyright violation for actually owning his house when someone else accidentally got the rights.

is hilarious and also makes me sad.

Back in the day goons bought body armour for The Troops because the US government wouldn't. My cousin was posting then, and he got to die in Iraq a few years later.

Like why can't someone else be dead and he be doing goofy Army poo poo? Sorry if this is too much

Your spooky lobster dog reminds me of some of the fun times that have happened on the forums. It's nice to see.

I remember some time in the mid 2000s, when El Pinto Grande and Fistgrrl were still around, the admin team all decided to have avatars of the Legion of Doom from the 70s cartoon Super Friends.

Themed avatars are fun.

All I know is that from now on whenever I see a tubby white man in his late 30s, I'll be proud to yell "Stairs? STAIRS??! MANGOSTEEN!"

I lived in NYC in 2001-2002 and went to my first goon meets there. OldSenileGuy (still around, mod of TVIV) was trying to wrangle goons around the chaos of Times Square so he came up with the idea of holding his hands over his head and doing the goatse spreading motion to signal "We're going this way"

That happened.

Gotta say people getting mad about the logo of the site is pretty funny.

I'm pretty sure having a grenade logo bumper sticker was the reason US customs searched my car coming back from GoonCon 2k3 which was held in Toronto.

In the original GoonCon2k2 video that StraightRazor made Gamequoter showed up and there was a video game sprite placed over his face to protect his anonymity. That video also had Fiwer walking down the hall to "Only The Lonely" by Roy Orbison.

I absolutely bought into that way too easily, which is why I'm leaving my donation tag up as a badge of shame. Not because I'm too lazy and forgetful to change it in my profile when I'm actually using a browser.

Same, except also the title 'buglord' is great. Also I donated because I thought it would help a forum I love, and I feel good about my intentions even if it turns out I was snookered out of $6.66

Those meets were ridiculous and I can't believe I convinced my parents to let ~17 year old me go.

The wrestling one was the best.

There was a table with big sheets of paper for everyone to make signs and BOY HOWDY THEY MADE SIGNS and I'm sad that I missed it because I moved before then.

Also Cannibal with his toy drive for Ronald McDonald House where goons went to the Toys R Us in Times Square and bought a bunch of toys and carried them on the street up to the Ronald McDonald House in an early version of Child's Play charity.

gently caress it I'm gonna keep posting;
