You could read any of the 4 China threads (not counting chinese language) and seen it. This was just known.

As someone who never read any of them, my image of r guy was some lefter-than-thou douche who liked to pick on Bernie supporters when he was feeling small, which is why i was pretty dismissive and flippant about him at first. I figured the best way to deal with that was to just hoot louder in the Bernie hooting thread

Then the rest of the info came out in the qcs thread and :stare:

did I get you too lol

content: I got to thinking about the old goon rushes the other day, and specifically the final goon rush that ended them for good. I hope someone else remembers this because it's been a while and nobody really talked about it. I think this was around 04 or so?

There was a site somewhere that stole like 5 pages of cliff yablonski material, captions and all, and lowtax posted a thread all "haha check out what these assholes did, oh look they have open forums, welp I'm gonna go out for the evening byeeee." About 1-2K+ goons rush the other site's forums and do the usual, flooding in new and existing threads, etc.

But then a couple hours in some goon is like "so I checked the admin account, and he used an extremely basic guessable user/password. here they are, have fun," and then there were a couple thousand goons trying to sign in to the same admin account, getting kicked off, etc. I don't know what that was like. What I do know is every time I hit F5, entire forums and subforums would appear and disappear, stylesheets would change, it was total anarchy.

Then about a half hour after that, the same goon's like (and here's where I get real fuzzy on the details) "so I went poking around and the motherfucker used the same user/pass for his forum's admin panel (or something), oh also you can remote into the server from the internet and the auth was also easy to guess," and I don't remember if he asked the thread what to do or if it was his idea but he wiped the server and turned it into an open FTP. I watched it for a few minutes as files and folders would pop up over and over only to disappear and be replaced by different ones. there was one person who seemed determined to keep putting their furry porn up.

About 4 or 5 hours after this all began, lowtax posted "I had no idea you guys would go on a derby of destruction." When I checked a few minutes later to see what people would say to that, the thread was gone.

The next day, fragmaster (IIRC) posted a thread saying there wouldn't be any goon rushes going forward, and trying to foment one would be bannable. And then we never heard anything about it again. In fact when I PMed lowtax about this a while ago, he said "I actually don't remember that event at all!" so must not have been a problem :shrug:

No, I definitely remember that. Can't remember the name of the other site at all though. Didn't "butt rushing" become a thing right after that where a bunch of goons would log into video chats of games and then moon everyone?

Yeah it was some small nothing of a site, which made the whackadoo escalation that much funnier (from my end of things anyway)

All the recent forums drama reminded me of the time a goon stabbed someone then posted a thread about it

quote:

Lastnight I was downtown with my buddies. We drank, shot pool and had an all around good time. A little before 2 I decided to head home. I had parked about 4 blocks away from the main street with all the bars on it, so I had a short walk to my car.

So I'm walking along minding my own business when I notice there are a couple guys about half a block back from me. I don't really think much of it, but I grew up in a pretty shady town so I instinctually palm my knife. I get about a block away from my car when I hear what I thought was both of them walking up pretty close to me. I start to get a little uncomfortable so I flick open my knife quietly. I have been jumped before and there's no way in hell it's happening again.

I glance over my shoulder and see that it's actually just one of them. The other guy had hung back, still about half a block away. Just as I glance back the guy reaches a hand out to grab my shoulder and says something along the lines of "Yo mother fucker". As soon as he grabbed my shoulder I spun around and planted my knife in his stomach. He let out this weird gasp. It sounded sort of like he got the wind knocked out of him, just a little different. When I pulled the knife out, which was a whole lot harder than I expected, he dropped what sounded like a pipe or something. I didn't really get a good look at it. It dawns on me that he was just about to club me over the head and I get pissed. I stabbed him a couple more times, hard and fast.

About this time his friend starts screaming and running towards us. I start to run towards my car and luckily the guy stops to check on his friend. I pulled off my now bloody shirt, wrapped the knife up in it and tossed it in a grocery bag i had in the back seat before I pulled off. I glanced back once before driving away and it looked like the guy was just laid out on the sidewalk with his friend sitting next to him.

Before going home I drove over the bride coming into town and toss the shirt and knife into the water. The whole experience freaked me out a little but all in all I don't feel guilty about it.

Which was later edited to

Mods please delete this thread.

There was never any followup that I was aware of, and I never saw the goon (Graves) again. I met the dude at the third gooncamp, he was pretty cool, no idea he'd go all Roberto on someone

Once a goon posted about how annoying it was the early Mega Man games wouldn't let you pause, and he stayed home as a kid one day to beat Mega Man 2, and because he couldn't pause he soiled himself to finish Wily's castle and beat the game, and how it was so worth it.

The next reply was "you have always been able to pause in every Mega Man game"

Surprisingly, webmasters are much better than other something awful admins when it comes to the heavy sodium and fat content of the chocolatey chili. Your webmaster should be just fine with a couple cans of airlifted chili as a treat.
