I would rather have furries on the forums than anybody who posted in those chrimbo threads honestly.

Furries are pretty tame, like it's 2016 getting mad at furries is basically like getting mad at goatse

If Twitter has taught me anything it's that if you compare a person with a furry avatar and a person with an anime avatar the furry is way more like to actually be funny and way less likely to be a Nazi.

The caveat to this is if the furry is wearing a diaper.

After he gave up the plan to walk a baby stroller covered in Twitter hashtags across America he decided to drive his BMW instead, last I saw from the thread he had gotten stranded somewhere in Arizona when it overheated and needed some special BMW part nobody in town had

Walking Goon also was angry when he ditched his stroller because he'd covered it with hashtags about his efforts. Now, in his mind , without that signage, people would think he was just another hiker.
He also wrote a glorious description of standing wrapped in a blanket gazing at the scenery and imagining that people were wondering why he was so sad and deep and alone in his humanity.
Poor dude.

I want to say someone in the thread drew fanart of this, him sitting at the top of a hill in a ranger station wrapped in a blanket feebly eating raisins, as people hiked through the park and happy couples sat on picnic blankets below him.

Sorry I missed your question. To prevent getting robbed, I have co2 powered pistol which looks just like a real gun, I have a long buck knife as well as a very light weight axe. I also have bear spray. I've kept the bear spray/gun in quickly accessible locations. Now if they try to rob me while I'm asleep that is a bit more difficult to prevent. I'll have my weapons of destruction next to me while sleeping but the best way to prevent this is ensure my camping location is as hidden as possible. As sunset approaches I'll be scouting potential locations to hide.

If I get robbed it is not the end of my trip, things will continue and I'll have to scrounge up new gear. People get robbed every day.

I have not prepared for rape. Maybe I'll have to invest in a buttplug.

Dude was just going to hide somewhere along the highway and sleep with a fake gun and an axe

This was beloved hell dump punching bag Two Worlds. He got fired because he couldn't control his students and was leering at the underage girls in his class. Some of the best content hell dump ever produced.

Holy poo poo for real? Do you have a link? :prepop:

I feel like the Blue Story stuff was linked at some point ITT but I dont have a link to his posts.

I would actually really like to read the Two Worlds threads again. Stuff I remember about him:

-Had pictures of him dressed up as cyclops from the X-Men movie
-In times of stress he would imagine the X-Men coming to his aid
-Had something called the 'Ariel-verse' in his head where his base instincts (jerking it, looking at porn) were constantly at war with his pure self
-Had a personified version of his lust and frustration that was basically the Hulk with a slightly different name but also the bad guy from The Dark Tower sort of? He would say like "oh the Brute took over last night" or poo poo like that.

I also remember one thread where forums user Tony Danzas Ho zoomed in to one of his pictures in photoshop or something and sampled the color of his teeth and it was this horrifying pea green.

I never knew the story behind that custom title, and I was afraid to ask. The truth could never measure up.

As it was related to me some ages ago, it was from a very serious, historically accurate tabletop game set in ancient Rome and this guy kept trying to stealth make his character a robot. Like he kept asking about what materials would have been available to them and if they could have theoretically built some kind of steam powered automaton, that to our eyes, might seem like what we, today, would call a robot. And eventually the gm got so fed up with it that he got that famous redtext.

It's really not interesting enough to re-read since he deleted his 30+ blogger accounts, but key points are that he made it WAY further than Muerte (160 km) and upon giving up decided to use his cart to bring food and water every day to a homeless camp. So he did end up helping people :3:

A lot of them were really hilariously mundane goony poo poo like "i bought something dumb on eBay" or like "i opened my computer up and put peanut butter on all my RAM" like even the hardcore drug forum is full of shrinking violets whos idea of going full Fear and Loathing is using their computer as a plate.

Cool thing about Joose was that people would get really high and forget they had taken any drugs so they would then do more drugs, and go through a huge amount of it all at once.

What's the story with the actual iterations of GBS? I remember in around 2010 it was pretty serious with BYOB being the 'chillax' alternative and 'FYAD' being 'ironic 4chan'.

by 2008-2009 GBS was the place you told people on cooler forums go gb2 if they were posting lovely.

in those days GBS was basically a news RSS feed. Every thread was either an insular megathread that could have easily existed on a more specific subforum or about some article or something. Posts were verbose and rigidly spellchecked and every reply was some variation of "Epic Goonsire, five golden manbabies bacon Dwarf Fortress". It sucked and it allowed garbage like that Crimbo thread and the "wom" incident to thrive. And if you believe the rumors lowtax hates GBS anyway. So they torpedoed it and it became a lawless wasteland full of 'ironic' hard right cuckoldry fetishists.

Most of the epic goon manbabies crowd beat feet to PYF when they got ran out of nu-GBS so, the moral is every forum and every style of posting is bad.

Like WebDog the goon? What'd he do?

Goons got insanely obsessed with a thoroughly mediocre cartoonist they claimed to hate, and a lot of people spent all their free time talking about just how bad he was and how much they did not enjoy reading his comics. It's true, he is very bad, but most people would look at it and say "This is bad!" and then forget it existed. Goons sustained several huge megathreads based on talking poo poo about this guy, waiting eagerly for the next comic so they could pick apart how terrible it was, and in the downtimes digging up every single thing they could find about his personal life.

WebDog was the chief internet detective behind most of the Tim Buckley witch hunts, which eventually progressed to finding the dude's family on Facebook and his address and all kinds of unsavory, pointless poo poo.
