JenniCam got married and her named changed to Jennifer Johnson so she's basically unfindable now.quote:ALEX: At the time Jenni stashed her webcams in her garage, Myspace was six months old. There was no Facebook, no Twitter, no Instagram, no Youtube. And now that they’re are, Jenni’s one of the few people who stays off of them completely. In fact, she’s almost absent from the internet. There are a few pictures of her floating around, and there’s a Wikipedia article about Jennicam, but the hundreds of thousands of images and journal entries she posted to her site, those are mostly gone. The Jenni of 2014 is basically ungooglable. source: https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/8whoja

Splash Attack posted:anyways this reminded me of how i discovered Roxanne through the Sandrah Saga LP, a modder for the Baldur's Gate games that was banned from both the official forums and pretty much all of the user-run modding forums for IE games when it came out she'd been using multiple alts pretending to be multiple people for years to praise her mods and argue with anyone that criticized it. Like how her character constantly managing to make every event in the game about her or the alterations to made to other mods without their author's permission - some of them even bundled into the megamod installer she made - or just how poorly written it was. After her bans she declared that she was going to open her own forum for her mods but then closed it last year due to Russia invading Ukraine or something. I remember reading that this woman almost single handedly killed the baldurs gate modding community. She was just that god-damned unpleasant. She also wrote the Saerileth mod I think, which is just atrocious on every level. Morally, aesthetically, technically. Just utter garbage, but clearly hundreds of hours have gone into making it.

I don't know who the other one is, but there's another Big Name Baldur's Gate fan who was so notorious as well she was banned from almost every space. Baldur's Gate is insanely popular relative to its age, and someone even found an easter egg for the first time last year that almost no one knew about. edit: It's this person https://lilura1.blogspot.com/2020/12/Baldurs-Gate-1-vs-Baldurs-Gate-2-BG1-vs-BG2.html

brutal doom causes some drama in the doom modding community to the point many modders go out of their way to have their levels break and refuse to work to keep from having to deal with its fanbase demanding they balance their levels around brutal doom SgtMarkIV the creator of brutal doom has also been banned from every single doom forum for being a holocaust denying neo nazi sociopath that once gave someone having a mental breakdwon detailed instructions on how to kill themselves used real images of gore for brutal doom and stole work from other modders and wouldnt credit them until the drama became too much to ignore. he also had a meltdown and thought id was ripping him off when he saw glory kills for doom 2016 lol. just an awful person all around

Speaking of insane modders, Tessmage: Big modder for Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines, had probably the most widely used 'fix' mod that everyone worked off, then for some reason he added a bunch of changes like inflating the tits of the female characters and then started calling things Tessmage approved or Tessmage official and the community moved away from him The Oblivion Gates guy, who was so notorious that Nexus Mods ended up changing their policies to avoid dealing with someone like him again.

It cannot be understated how wildly unpleasant this person was on the Beamdog forums pentyne posted:The Oblivion Gates guy, who was so notorious that Nexus Mods ended up changing their policies to avoid dealing with someone like him again. That's Arthmoor, and while this isn't specifically accurate (Nexus changed their policies because of dumbass IP trolling by other idiot authors) he was the single loudest voice decrying their new policy and was subsequently the one who was directly told "okay so don't upload your mods here." He proceeded to try to pull the single most popular skyrim mod off the Nexus as a result and the rest of the mod team told him to gently caress off and kicked him out. GateGate is definitely a saga though. Psycho Landlord has a new favorite as of 03:55 on Mar 6, 2023 |

pentyne posted:Speaking of insane modders, The funniest modding drama I've ever seen was when Darkest Dungeon was in Early Access. At the time there was no official mod support, but there was nothing stopping you from editing data files and distributing them manually. Of course it was in Early Access and big updates would break mod compatibility every couple months, which was a huge pain to fix because there would be a bunch of new data so you couldn't just copy + paste over your old stuff because you would be missing new data entries. So there was mostly just one guy trying to seriously mod the game to make it more hardcore and more balanced. He got more and more irate every time they updated and eventually after one of the bigger EA updates he had a huge meltdown because the dev team refused his offers to "fix" the game for them and instead kept pushing updates that broke his unofficial mod. After he got banned from their website and Steam forums he would occasionally sneak back in to accuse the dev team and all their fans of being paid Hillary shills (yes, this was at the outset of the 2016 campaign season)

https://web.archive.org/web/20080611230644/http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3880087 Guy lives in a gated community, gets his car booted because he forgot his parking tag or something like that. So, he jacks up his car and puts all four wheels on rolling dollies, and pushes his car into his garage - because the rules say he doesn't have to pay if the booted car is on his property (he was booted while parked on the street). He then calls Arizona Parking Solutions and tells them to come get their boots, the police get involved and take his side, hilarity ensues.

A buddy of mine got booted when he was parked as a guest at a family member's resort house somewhere on a lake in Utah. He got really mad for a while, then just deflated his tire and pulled the boot off. The HOA security pulled up in a golf cart when he'd gotten everything back together and was on his way out with the family with the boot dumped on the curb. Told the security guy to call the police and left him fuming. gently caress HOAs and gently caress their rentacops. HenryJLittlefinger has a new favorite as of 00:28 on Mar 11, 2023 |

On the Facepunch forums there were different types of users, Blue (regular) and Gold (gold name on posts, larger avatar size, access to a special subforum etc.) At one point a dude was sending Garry (the Garrys Mod guy who ran the forum) so many PMs demanding he make the size restrictions for Blues the same as Golds that Garry got annoyed, banned the guy, and shrank Blue avatars sitewide by like 30%.
