Can't believe I never read the Zaurg thread before. I'm only five pages in and it's a shitshow.

It's "the" zaurg thread like the latest novel is "the" Tom Clancy book. It was an ongoing concern for a long time, I think there were several threads.

I never followed it close enough but remember this paraphrased exchange from a long time back

zaurg: boy, I kind of hate my wife, but divorce is expensive
thread: divorce is the best option
zaurg: I'm swimming in debt but my wife wants us to buy a house
thread: Don't buy a house, focus on the debt
zaurg: my wife wants a kid, what do I do?
thread: jfk zaurg do not have a kid
zaurg: my wife showed up in sexy underwear and told me I didn't need to use a condom, now she's pregnant
thread: you absolute moron, you dumb motherfucker
zaurg: now that we have a kid on the way I'll need to buy a house
thread: :dogout:

I got in the final days of the Zaurg thread when it was just zaurg “trolling” the one or two people trying to sincerely help him and the remaining majority of the thread just posting “shut the gently caress up/taze your balls” over and over.

Good thread

What Saga does everyone predict will break this iteration of the thread? My guess is Coupons and Deals hitting critical mass and attempting a forums coup, only to fail and ultimately restructure as an Amazon referral-focused offsite that occasionally makes snide comments about this place.

I tried to find the Minecraft fairy torture guy but couldn't narrow down when it happened. I'm not sure if that counts as a saga, but it's one of the only weird, well-known(ish) happenings I was around for that now qualifies as old, since it was (I think) a decade ago. God that makes me feel old.

That was a romhack thread where they got the guy who created it to register and talk about some of it in the thread. He dropped that he watched MLP porn out of nowhere in the middle of the thread.

I want to say it was a FInal Fantasy Tactics hack?

Yep its in there on page 32. He just casually drops it.

FaceRig made it so you could attach a 3D model of a talking hamburger to your face like a webcam filter, and then Japan's idol industry found out about it and perved it up and goons latched on like goons do.

Here are a few fun / weird old threads for the new thread.

the p-p-p-powerbook thread (sending a hilariously fake laptop to an eBay scammer)

TimeCube with Tits: Come learn about Roman Systems Engineering! (some guy claimed he knew what Roman dodecahedrons were for, a goon found his website and made a thread about it)

the original goon in a well post

aaaand the context of Telhix’s legendarily bad mspaint drawing of... something... that happened to him in a bathroom (reproduced below)

Are the old LP threads where people starting making fun of DeceasedCrab for only using YouTube by uploading blurry camera footage in 720p and so on still around?

pentyne posted:

Later on a handful of shitposters brought heavy scrutiny on the vtuber thread. ADTRW Modmins take note, eventually the thread rules change to ban creepy/horny/questionable stuff. This lasted less then a day before a handful of posters felt the need to defy it and others came to their defense. During all this, one of the mods active in the thread, Wark Say, was outed as retweeting underage hentai from their personal twitter.


As a coda to this:

Much as I'd like to claim to be the king of internet detectives, I actually just googled "wark say twitter" after Shortest Path posted something like "If you think that's bad, you should see Wark's twitter!"

Further hate mail, accusations of stalking and tribute can be directed towards them.

Instead of the user making the post. In reality I’m sure that would have to be done manually and did not happen.
