https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/democratic-republic-of-congo-lubumbashi-to-kinshasa.50799/ A 2010 thread by a Belgian couple who drove overland across Congo from Lubumbashi to Kinshasa. It's both a fascinating journey in a place with zero infrastructure and an infuriating read because these two are colonial as gently caress. quote:We came across a truck that was parked in the middle of the track. Luckily the surrounding area was pretty open, so we could pass it. quote:We thought about our experiences of the previous day. As mentioned before we always had this nervousness/anxiousness when going to a new country. Usually it dissapeared within minutes when we were welcomed by friendly people in a friendly country. We had been in Congo for a week now. Of which we only spent 1 day on the road. But the nervousness was still there.

I first learned that some people really, really care too much about circumcision because of a guy who posted incessantly about foreskin restoration on another forum almost twenty-five years ago. He had his own website where he blathered about foreskins too. The early internet was a hell of a place.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/26/shock-an-aw-us-teenager-wrote-huge-slice-of-scots-wikipedia if wiki's count then boy do I have a good one lmfao “This is going to sound incredibly hyperbolic and hysterical,” wrote Ultach, “but I think this person has possibly done more damage to the Scots language than anyone else in history. They engaged in cultural vandalism on a hitherto unprecedented scale.” The 19-year-old North Carolinian, who edits under the username AmaryllisGardner, responded on Wikipedia saying that he was “devastated” at the reaction “after years of my thinking I was doing good”. He wrote: “I was only a 12-year-old kid when I started, and sometimes when you start something young, you can’t see that the habit you’ve developed is unhealthy and unhelpful as you get older.” He also called for other users to stop harassing him and his friends on social media. According to Wikipedian MJL, another administrator on the site, AmaryllisGardner had created or edited 49% of all the articles on the Scots Wikipedia. “Speaking as an admin there, here’s what happened with Scots Wikipedia,” they tweeted after the story broke on Reddit. “Nobody cared about maintaining it. Someone stepped up because no one else did. That person was never given any guidance. Articles ended up being very poorly mistranslated.” AmaryllisGardner’s edits showed a lack of understanding of the basics of the language: in one common error, he used “an aw” as a dictionary translation of the English word “also” when grammatically the phrase should be used more like “and all”. “I’m X, and I’m also Y,” can be translated as: “A’m X, an A’m Y an aw,” for instance. When the error was flagged in January this year, after seven years of editing the Scots Wikipedia, AmaryllisGardner said he had “never thought about that”. In Wikipedia’s sometimes insular community, seniority matters a great deal. Purely by being an early, and prolific, editor of the Scots Wikipedia, AmaryllisGardener gained administrator rights, and the power to undo vandalism of the site, occasionally using that to overrule others who tried to fix his errors. The revelation has led to some calling for the entire Scots Wikipedia to be deleted, arguing that its continued existence causes more harm than good. “It’s been suggested to me to nuke the whole thing and start over,” MJL said. Another proposal gaining support among Wikipedia’s broader community calls for every edit the user has made in the last seven years to be undone, even if that means deleting almost half of the encyclopaedia.

I remembered Sammy Hagar had his own personal forum because I got so into Sammy Hagar for a month in middle school I made an account on the Sammy Hagar forum. I made like 1 post and then realized it was all like 40 year old boat owners. It was apparently locked in January of 2023. I assume this is because most posts had 0 replies and a few were spam, I kinda poked around a little and here’s a post I found that I feel encompasses the entire forum in its way past its prime final days:

So John McAfee really liked drugs and loving, as I think the world eventually found out. But for a while, it was just an open internet secret. Wikipedia posted:Bluelight is a web forum and research portal dedicated to harm reduction in drug use. As of May, 2022, it claims over 455,000 registered users. It was formed as bluelight.ru in 1999 before later switching to the bluelight.org domain. Bluelight has a dedicated following of people who use drugs, researchers, and people seeking advice for harm reduction in their drug use. It does not promote drug use explicitly, as evidenced by the honorarium to the deceased in Bluelight's Shrine where many members who have died due to their drug use, mental health disorders, and for other reasons. Stuffmonger was a bluelight user and with little doubt legitimately McAfee himself. And he was batshit on research chemicals. Wanting to know other methods of research chemicals, McAfee also showed he’s a terrible poster. Some kind soul posted:Well these types of threads are not allowed at Bluelight. That was the easiest source of info I found. stuffmonger posted:I agree with the instability. It changes color from grayish-white to a beautiful tan, and texture from a talcum like powder to a larger grain with 4 or 5 days of precipitating, provided it's kept wet. Just this thread goes on 53 pages. It also gets really gross, reminder that he is living in a location where he feels he has power over police and very much would be an andrew tate interviewer today were he alive with all the crimes that suggests Grassy Knowles has a new favorite as of 06:32 on Mar 1, 2023 |
