Circa 2005 or so Operation Clambake was widely discussed in GBS and we started making pro-Xenu posters for fun. Eventually the founder of OC joined SA and while he didn't seem to fully understand who or what we were, enjoyed the enthusiasm and the awareness. I ended up being Goony as hell and having a sit down meeting with my university's student association to try and get authorization to put these posters up around campus. All but 1 person voted no, I think the one that voted yes was a goon too. I ended up just posting them in my dorm for fun.

There was also a typed novel a goon found in a library about people on a rocket ship going to jupiter or something. I think it was written like a scifi intrigue political thriller. It was hilariously bad and weird iirc.

The first guy I remember to cause a big thing and get driven off the forums after the paywall went up was Euro/Euronymous. He was an Australian metalhead famous for hitting his girlfriend with a shower head and his insane rant that Fragmaster recorded.

Next was Esco, a dumb teenager famous for extolling the virtues of his favourite teacher that 'was the grandson of the guy that invented coca cola.' He would pop into random threads to spout inanities until he too was driven off. There is also an excellent recording of one of his posts read by Frags somewhere. Sadly ive lost these recordings over the years.

The SA-Tan Saga

Basically there was a Awful link of the Day (ALOD) that was about this Japannese dude fetish of muscled dudes punching women in the stomach and making them puke. Lowtax posted it, goons found and mocked it, and every one had a good time.

This lead do the dude creating a female personfication of SA and punching her in the stomach in retaliation. Lowtax then went to the forums asking for the best artist to create a new comic to fight back and it just spiraled out from there. Each sub-section got their own SA-Tan(the FYAD ones got really out there), the retaliation comic was really good and creepy and every one had a fun time. Sadly all the images are lost in time now.

I still have some of these on an HD somewhere, I'll try and post some of them if you want.

Hell yeah post them. That was a werid/crazy ride.

Here's a few I found in my archives. My organizational skills in 2007 are not what they are now, so I'll have to dig a bit to find the rest. I know I have fyad's insane bare breasted bee cock hat wearing fyad-tan somewhere. I have a lot of macros and weird goon poo poo from 2007+. Anything before that was lost in a crash sadly, including a TON of original videos created here.


Not work safe I guess.

Not accurate, Front Page Tan isn't a moldering corpse

Its accurate for the time it was created. One of the gas chamber tans was a zombie, we could repurpose that.

I always enjoyed Zerstorer and Spiny Norman's writing, the amateur private detective and the Stephenson stories respectively. I even bought Spiny Norman's book, Mr. Chill. Not bad.

I loved that thread. Dudes taking some RC then waking up in an ambulance strapped to a gurney. They'd get released, find their wrecked car, then go home to do more RC and wind up right back in a goddamn ambulance.

It can be again. We could talk about Twiin's homeless thread, gooncon and punker99, various old fyad celebs, etc. Former admins and their disappearences, though frankly i don't have a clue where most of then went unless they got driven out like Mayor Wilkens or Icequeen.

I fondly remember gentle giant ZerglingMinor. He was 7 foot something, 300-400 lbs and worked as a desk clerk at a hotel. Some guy called in and was rather rude and demanding. ZM stood his ground and calmly stated hotel policy. Customer decided to pick a fight over the phone and said he was going to come in and kick ZM's rear end. Guy ended up walking in, saw exactly what he was dealing with, and was unfailingly polite to ZM. GBS ate it up, especially because ZM seemed like a really chill dude. Sadly he died a few years later I believe.

AFAIK he didn't even eat that fruit hat, he decided he would eat like one piece of fruit a day, and not even get into cores and peels.

Nah, he ate some of it at an anime convention and then I think either gave the rest away or threw it out.

Anime with smoking and guns and swords are the best. Sometimes magic powers if its not dumb as gently caress, like alchemy is cool but most everything else isn't.

Some of us don't have the time or patience anymore for some of the older or more tedious games that we always wanted to sit down and play. Cool Ghost's FF8 LP is a good example of this. He's finding things in that game I had no idea about, and making it quite entertaining. Sometimes as well its just enjoying funny people talking about vidja games or just being goofs. I miss those old Satan's Accountants videos like Desert Bus, their 6 hour pokemon blue LP where they raised a Charizard before they left Pallet town and just acted out some silly fanfiction, etc.

e: Shadow Catboy's Planescape: Torment thread is sublime. He filled it with a ton of original writing to make it something even better. I wish I could get that published or something, its amazing.

Wait I didn't know Wren died ?

Yes, like Lunchmeat Larry said it was pretty sad. I think her blog is still up if you want to read a few posts about her time in hospital and a few drawings she did. She was my first real goon friend from way back and towards the end I lost track of her. Spanish Manlove (I think) was kind enough to track down her cancer thread for me and also give her a nice memorial avatar (after he jokingly gave her a permadead one). He's a nice guy that Spanish Manlove, I hope I thanked him enough for the closure.
