She wasn't a goon, but I think the woman you're thinking of is Shriya Shah-Klorfine, who iirc the Everest thread picked up on and were actively liveblogging her suicide-by-mountain as it went down

Morally Inept talked about loving his dog in one of the "admit stuff" threads

It was probably a dumb joke, but if you don't want people to call you a dogfucker, don't say you gently caress dogs :shrug:

If this is the AI one I'm thinking of it was a fun trip with a lot of people helping out, and then the guy tried something inappropriate (I forget the details, they were vague but it sounded gross) with the kid of the person letting him stay there and welp that was the end of that cool story.

The goon legacy is the thread about it turned into a massive, massive circlejerk about how bad climbing Mt Everest is and goons got really loving weird about the argument. It went from a circlejerk to a near-cult in their beliefs in no time.

GBS 2.0 cleared a lot of those "goons being really weird about something" threads out. This was one of them.

The bachelor threads in general. They were always worth reading and I'm sure some of the famous goon stories like holepisser or whatever came from those threads, but the whole thing was just people doing depraved poo poo and posting about it on the internet for others to agree with. It always seemed like half the posters had terrible things to admit but they were gauging reactions, waiting on someone else to admit to something slightly worse before thinking to themselves "phew ok, i can say I also do this and i wont get laughed at that much". everyone was just constantly toeing the line

Yeah, I remember those threads. Like the guy who never bought toilet paper and just used coffee machine filters from work. Or someone else who never washed their socks, just threw them in the trash when they got smelly and kept buying new pairs. There was also the fact that about 30% of the posts in those threads ended with "also, I'm a girl."

I think the last time one of those threads was closed was because someone went into great detail about lancing a boil or cutting off a carbuncle from his inner thigh with a steak knife and hoovering up the remains with a vacuum cleaner.

I remember that. Several people got all defensive and righteous, "Everybody does stuff like torturing animals as kids, you're an idiot!" and lots of other people were slowly walking away from them.

Tbh I think that's about standard for mountaineering discussion in general

I forget whose book it was where they all go to a funeral for some other climber who died in his mid-30s, spend the entire time just telling funny climbing stories about times they nearly died, and none of them can work out why the widow gets up and just starts screaming at them

whacked out because he was an Actual Meth Addict and the road trip was an attempt to get him away from Seattle/his meth buddies

and then it turns out he was just a poo poo person and sexually assaulted the wife (?) of the goon who was letting him stay with them

Yeah in one of those threads a goon admitted he killed his family cat by intentionally putting him in the clothes dryer and leaving it on until it died. People kept asking for him to be banned (he never was) and he shrugged it off as" everyone does stupid stuff when they're 14".

I unironically hope he's dead.

Still making gaming garbage videos. I just checked, he still has 33k subscribers but no video he has uploaded in the past few weeks has more than 700 views. To put that into perspective there is a guy I subscribe to called Sean Moore* who made the Cinematic Excrement channel - his latest upload was a month ago and it has 16k views even if he has the same amount of subscribers as lowtax.

*His humour isn't for everyone - it's a bit too try-hard and smug at times but I do recommend his channel.

I had Lowtax as a Facebook Friend for a month or two after him being driven off SA. I unfriended him because, drat, you can only tolerate the mental gymnastics for so long, you know? He is also hopelessly attached to his Internet past and just refuses to acknowledge anything happening today. That YouTube comment is just his 1999 edgelord self that hasn't grown-up in any way.

I still remember reading that thread in 2009, coming across the original Slender Man post and thinking to myself "That looks goddamn stupid yet the Internet is going to find it terrifying". Well, here we are.

I let a goon who was on a road trip crash at my apartment one night 15 years ago, almost to the day IIRC. I gave him a few hits of acid and he bugged the gently caress out and had a psychotic episode culminating in him dropping his pants, dong flapping around, standing atop my coffee table screaming at the top of his lungs. He puked up green sludge all over my carpet and repeatedly yelled “I guess it doesn’t really MATTER, because I AM THE EXPERIENCE!!!!” for a couple of hours and eventually snapped out of it like nothing out of the ordinary had happened and left the next morning.

This is all 100% true.
