That pm is weird. Like, yall were discussing a touchy issue and he just started making a bunch of small talk about a super cool movie theater he went to???

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
Unfortunately from what I can tell they actually want gbs modded though. So good luck attempting to idlemod.

I'll script a modbot that will mod better than w98 ever could. I just need access to the mod tools to do so.

Is it wrong that I'm kind of sad he blew it early because his rampage would have been the funniest thing to happen to GBS in years?

It'd be funny but in the aftermath the screenshot would've gotten leaked and the idiot patrol would chase LA out and gbs would be even worse

It's less a part of their lives than you would think. All they know is that their Dad owns a website. If anything, Gaming Garbage is what that they know about most.

In reality I figured its just like any kids and their parents jobs... You have a vague idea dad is an engineer, and maybe know he works for the train company, but thats about it.

Its way more fun to pretend they were shitposting with us at age 3 tho, especially since we would never notice!

I think it's very possible windows started purposely trying to build a rapport with an admin to increase the chances he'd get a modding position in GBS, guy used to make a ton of posts in GBS & QCS about why he should be a mod. Pretending to be friends with people to get something he wanted would be my guess.

Also the fact that he enthusiastically saw "El Topo" indicates that he's more insufferable in real life.

He seems like a real mother fucker, that's for sure. You hear me, w98, who is undoubtedly reading all of this?? Put your phone away! All the other people in the theater can see that light!!

I thought so too. But I'm pretty sure Windows 98 used to have a custom title saying he killed someone with a shovel, so I already figured he was weird.

Is a history of posting meltdowns a pre-requisite for becoming a mod? It sure seems that way.

This is what kills me. He still doesn't get that sharing the PM was lovely not because news getting out about him potentially becoming a mod - which was still in discussion, and we hadn't even been able to approach the other mods with it - but because the PM mentioned other people, WHO WE HADN'T EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO TALK TO, TO GET THEIR OPINION ON THINGS IN GBS. The *whoosh* is deafening.

I'll say it again - I DUN hosed UP. Sorry gang.

he told everyone, asked me to make an av, applewhite to write him a backstory, approached some other posters for snaps he could use for ban reasons

this circus has been rolling for months and im glad there's finally been some payoff

Beat a GUY. Get your shovel-psycho lore right god

Iirc he admitted the whole thing in a thread called "2014 sucked" or something. He got a tattoo saying 2014 sucked to remind himself not to brain people with shovels anymore lmao

I guessed right about being friendly to LA for the purpose of being modded I guess
