This looks like standard gbs poster level humor to me. Is it funny because he's the star citizen guy??

A bit moreso since he's been the original community management lead of Star Citizen since the start.

And considering he linked this poo poo on his official twitter feed and on the official forums.

This is the man I want working with my kids.

Well, TBH he *did* make those quotes only back when he was in school, so it's not that big of a deal guise, people change yaknow.

He was at least 25 and a school employee while posting pedo poo poo and he still doesn't see anything wrong with that lol

Took the 1,200 photos of his stalker target down too. lol

You know, I really didn't think he'd do that. I genuinely thought he'd insist on keeping them up, signifying that him having all that poo poo was nothing wrong right until he got roasted so hard he broke down blubbering.

I admit this looks bad but one persons mistakes shouldn't reflect poorly on the entire 300 person company.

Usually true. But trust me - in CIG's case they absolutely do. And the proof will be when this fat gently caress still stays as their head of community management after all this.

I'm not defending Ben's actions. I'm just annoyed by the fact that people are trying to link this to Chris and his company when no such connection exists.

Except for the fact that they've defended this fat turd since the beginning and will keep doing so over poo poo like this.

Hahaha yeah that was us giving him poo poo because he mentioned meeting a local newswoman from WTTG, he wasn't obsessed with her, we just had a running joke that he was obsessed with her, if that makes any sense.

The over 1200 pictures he still had on his website and which he himself linked to very recently definitely don't show off any kind of obsession, no sireee.

That was an automated thing, he didn't take a thousand pictures of Kerri-Lee, some of us nerds made a script to grab them and flood him with them.

Now I understand! Childhood friend! Helped him get Kerri-Lee's pictures! Ben mentioned someone helping him get pictures of Kerri-Lee - You're his mom!! :laffo:

I was Vinman^, I went by Vinman because there was a pilot in the intro to Wing Commander IV named Vinman who got shot down and I figured I might as well take his name. One time, I timed out of IRC as Vinman and rejoined with my alternate username, Vinman^, and it stuck.
When I joined SA, I kept with the Wing Commander IV pilot getting shot down motif and used a picture of another pilot, Miner, as my avatar.

I swear I am not making this up

You know, I actually believe the Wing Commander poo poo, because it all makes sense now. I mean, how else could someone become a literal religious fanboy of such a horrible franchise, if his moms didn't raise him from little feet to worship it like a religion like he clearly does, what with his Pilgrim's Cross and all that he still to this day wears around his neck.

This explains so much and tho hosed up if true, it even makes me shift a bit back to pitying the fat slob.

Being funny or not isn't the point, we were idiot edgelords shooting our mouths off, we never expected any of this stuff to go outside our little network of weirdos.

Well clearly, Ben thought it was a wise idea to recently post it on his public company-linked Twitter and on public RSI company forums, over which he is now grand poobah. A fine young lad you raised and I'm sure he's past all that now, what with him giving homophobes, racists and misogynists that send their dick pics to any woman in the community on said forums a free pass!

Hey, have you got any of that dickwulf stuff? I think it's pertinent now that we find this out about Ben. The company he keeps and all that.

I'd also like to throw that stuff where he was shutting down the female gamers when the CIG forums were starting out.

The latter you're gonna have to get in touch with Lauresh, since I was absent for a month right when that happened, but as for the former, sure I'll retell the tale, since the parties involved are pretty much okay with talking about it by now (was less so certain on that half a year ago). I'll try to keep it short for the gibbis.

Basically, Star Citizen had a chat. In said chat a married woman meets mr. personality, DickWulf, who starts getting really 'friendly' with her the moment he finds out she is a FEMALE, gifting her free spaceship .jpegs and whatnot. And just 3 days after that, she gets this in her e-mail (whose address he got automatically through gifting said spaceships, thanks to CIG's non-existent security considerations):

:nws: :nws: :nws:



After which she has a rather...awkward as gently caress conversation with him about how it's not really cool, whose pics I don't have and for which you'll have to PM Raskolnikov (I'm certain she's okay with sharing them, but do note I'm addressing the guy I'm quoting here, not for every goddamn gibbis to spam her PM box).

So Raskolnikov, being her friend, complains about this to CIG moderators, about how it's really not cool this can happen to a married woman over the official site, and that it's not the first time with ole DickWulf and that there has been much talk of him doing it before. But mods stonewall her, saying: "Oh it happened over e-mail, outside of our jurisdiction!" while refusing to admit the only way he got her e-mail was because of how their gifting procedure is hosed up. So Raskolnikov tells off DickWulf publically in chat, that if he keeps doing this something bad will happen to him sooner or later, which the moderators interpret as her threatening to kill DickWulf and not only slap a probation onto her but also ban her from attending CitizenCon, Star Citizen's official yearly gathering, which she only finds out once she arrives there and only gets overturned, due to another big-time backer vouching for her.

So TL;DR - Misogynist rear end in a top hat (who himself is married) is prolly still stalking their forums, sending dick pics and any woman that complains about it gets punished, while he keeps on truckin' thanks to him spending 30-40k dollars on Star Shitizen. And all of which supervised and considered okay by good ole. :lesnick:

No, but you see - it's okay that he regularly made up these quirky, wacky jokes about wanting to have sex with 13-year olds while working at a school! It's so funny huehuehue!

You mah dawg, WebDog.

Given there's one of Ben's buddies posting ITT, you posted your own anecdote from someone who also hung out with him that was far less rosy than this one's lol. I honestly mean this, it'd be good to have you check this thread now and then, to debate this person. Not just because it'd be amusing, but also to have one person 'who knew Ben back in the day' talk to another one who knows someone 'who knew Ben back in the day', only from opposite sides.

My favourite part of this lengthy thread is the dude coming in and saying "it's fine, as a well adjusted fyad poster I can vouch for this guy as we were posting buddies for years!", totally unaware that everyone thinks he's just as pathetic as the pedo man.

Amazing in exactly the opposite way his argument was supposed to go.

You shouldn't say things like that. As another said, we might just start mass posting our scrotes in defiance of Sandi Gardiner at CIG, so it's something worth getting banned over.

First of all...FIRST of all, there are quite a FEW things that differentiate me from Aartrek. First of all I am not a bad person like he was. I am a loving father and a good husband and my family loves me and I have done a lot of things with my life for instance I volunteer a lot, helping out the under privileged youth. Secondly I am not fat like I assume he was, I am fit and trim and in great shape like a gazelle! Haha just a joke there but I actually not fat that part was true. I could stand to be in a little better shape and I'm hoping to get back into running this year. Thirdly, I am a way better Admin than he ever was, I make sure to be kind and moderate in my mod decisions, for instance you wont catch me banning people for no reason, in fact I have never banned ayone in my time as admin of these forums, and you can take that to the bank. Fourthly, I try to liven the place up with funny jokes and stickies, for instance this very THREAD, which I thought would be good for a laugh and it really hurts that I;m throwing you guys a bone here and you turn on me like a pack of hyenas and honestly it makes me wonder if I should continue or not. This isn''t the only thing I have to do in my life by the way, for instance I live an active and varied life and this is just a small part of it . A tiny part for instance. Please stop with the harassing, this is a thankless job and Im glad to do it but cut me some slack once in a while OK. OK? :thumbsup:

Can we return to the days where star citizen threads were gassed and the goons retreated to an offsite to discuss buying offensive avatars for the mod that gassed the threads?

That wasn't quite the reason for that. It was because mods got tired of non-goon shitizen hopefuls being directed to GBS to make introduction posts. And the goons back then, rather than just bask in the silence of victory of having annoyed mods, decided to be crybabies and waste :10bux: on said mods when they put their foot down.
