Aatrek was found out because he moderated a Star Trek site as well using the same username and they had like a bio section for their mods that had their usernames listed along with their real names. Someone at SS googled the name and one of the results was his entry in the sex offender registry. It's almost shocking how little he tried to hide it.

He must have thought it wasn't a big deal or nobody would care. I mean being a moderator and all you'd think the first thing you'd do is Google a person's name ; it's considered a prudent thing to do in online dating to ensure the person you are meeting is who they claim to be.

My guess is that he created his online personas before he was even arrested for the molestation. the crime was committed in the late 90's but he wasn't arrested until at least 2004 iirc. I know he wasn't convicted until 2007

I guess what this really means is that mods aren't required to doxx themselves in the mod-only forum? I kinda thought they were for some reason.

Honestly I have no idea, but imo a community especially of this size should have like a req for knowing who their "officers" are. Due diligence & stuff. So whoever is approached to be a mod or whines enough to become one, they gotta submit like some kinda photo with their dumbass username & actual irl name on official paperwork for the other mods & admins to google.

Then lowtax can pretend to delete it and in some years we can get a really good saga for this thread.

I'm curious exactly how the bombshell "it turns out he was a pedophile etc" things happen. Are they so shameless they don't bother to hide the fact? Because you'd think someone with that kind of record probably wouldn't want people on the Internet to know their real name, yet when these folks get doxxed it turns out they met other posters in RL and didn't bother giving an alias, use the same /similar user names in other forums, etc.
In azure_horizon's case, he was literally posting in the fabgoon thread bragging about how he would sleep with very drunk straight guys when sober. He got extremely defensive when people justifiably called him out on this being rape, and denied it all the way to his ban.

He apparently didn't think it was a big deal. I had just started modding QCS at the time and he posted in the mod forum about it the morning he got found out. I don't have his post but the few parts I remember were like "I've been worried for a while now that this would come out eventually, but many years ago I made a bad mistake, it's in my past now and I regret it... I apologize about all the mess this is probably going to cause for the admins to clean up." It was like he expected admins to cover for him and make it go away, and that sort of cold callousness only made it more emotionally devastating for folks who had been working with him for years.

Was that before or after "bronies" became a phenomenon?

Cause from what I'm told, the mlp thread in TVIV was kinda the progenitor of all that.

It was the guy who made the "Brave New World" mod of Final Fantasy 6, not FFT. And yeah, this was long after bronies were a much ridiculed thing on the forums. It was actually two people that made the mod together, it started being clear that most of the balance adjustments and difficulty tweaks were the other guy, while this guy made all the bad decisions and terrible retranslations, and all the un-funny jokes. (like making Kefka and Relm swear like, non stop)

I think that's a different guy.

The "cutesy" christmas guy with a creepy background was mentioned super recently in one of these goon history threads, but I checked back like 20 pages in this one and didn't see it. Hold on.

Unless there were two of them, it was some guy in the Minecraft mod forum talking about a fairy mod and the recorded screams or something when they were hurt and he was just like "I should know, I wrote the book on it" with a link as if to give his complaints about block fairies extra authority.

The threads were about a small elf-type creature that me mspainted iirc, and certain words were like "smurfed". I can't remember the details but instead of christmas it was like bermbass or something?

Also just tried forumsearching various combinations of goon christmas weird tradition and found this old classic:

On a similar note: I made a FE8 Reverse Recruitment hack, check it out

It starts out as a pretty normal thread about a guy discussing his romhack, but then a few pages in he starts talking about what games he'd like to let's play:

quote:

Right now I'm currently debating between Gender Bender DNA Twister Extreme, an entertaining romantic comedy visual novel about a group of scientists who end up becoming girls after a lab explosion causes them to inhale gender swap gas, and DIDnapper, an RPGmaker game about kidnapping girls. I have yet to play the latter, but I'm currently getting it rn and will play it a bit first before I make my decision. You guys are free to suggest other ideas if you want, just know that they should be games that are good for SSLPs, as while I'd like to eventually start doing video LPs, I don't have the proper equipment to make a good video LP first. Plus, I figure it'll be easier to make an entrance into the world of video LPing if and can develop a fanbase via SSLPs first.

quote:

Both games I'm considering are rather fetishy btw, but that's part of why I think they'd be fun to LP. Not to mention both appeal to my yuri fetish, with DIDnapper also appealing to my bondage fetish. I also have a thing for bare midriffs, which both games also have, but bare midriffs are so common in works of fiction(and hell, even real life, especially among young people during warm weather) that it's not really notable when something includes them.
