Does anyone have a link to the old "Bullying is bad!" thread where goons made bitstrips ostensibly about bullying for a contest some anti-bullying charity was doing? I can find the front page articles that resulted from it but they don't seem to link to the thread itself and I can't find it with forums search or Google.

let's get this shit started


There was a CYOA thread years ago about a super-powered zombie named Mr. Scabbs that ate other people with super-powers (referred to as double cheeseburgers?) and I can't seem to find now that I want to reread it. I'm pretty sure I had just the story saved as a PDF at one point but I can't find that either and the only search results I'm getting are from somebody asking about it way earlier in this thread. I don't think it was ever resolved, so here's to trying again. Can anybody dig up a link?

Can anyone dig up the old GBS ARGs?

One was called something like "I've been receiving weird messages on AIM" and was started by forums user Snapchat A Titty (he still has the same avatar, he was called Carthag back then i think) and ended up involving people in several countries and being a Cthulhu story.

There was another one before that but I don't remember anything about it. They both happened before I registered, probably 2005-2008. Anyone remember what I'm talking about? The second one really jumped on the popularity of the first that I remember, they happened in fairly quick succession.

Thanks! Good fun, I was lurking at the time but enjoyed reading along.

I was misremembering - the first one was the Cthulhu one, Never Phear - I had a look but I don't think it was goldmined, it was linked a few times in the Ciphertext thread but none of them worked. Can anyone dig that one up? I think Never Phear was in the title. 2007ish, maybe 2006?

So, are there any other threads where I can get my fill of laughing at stupid people on the internet?
There are a couple I know of (like the imgur one) but they aren't as busy as the old thread was.

Or even just a thread filled with lots of little anecdotes. I really like the Food Industry horror stories thread, and I loved the old "Girl married to anime guys" thread, are there any hidden gems I might have missed?

If that's from his Talos Principle LP (guessing because my phone will break the video I'm watching on chromecast if I look at another video) then all the songs he uses get credited at the end of the video

I can't remember any user names or when it took place, but does any one remember the story or thread where the guy goes to a party at a girls house and gets high then starts jacking off in the bathroom or something where everyone can see him. I think he clogs her toilet or something too. It might have been just some random internet story but what I can remember was hilarious.

I remember that one. I think it was a girl he liked, and who might have liked him, and he was at her house to study, but he had to poo poo really bad, and then he got a boner while trying to poo poo, so he tried to deflect his boner-cannon piss into the bathtub while making GBS threads in the toilet, and instead ended up making GBS threads and pissing all over the floor, and possibly clogged the toilet too, causing it to overflow. Then she got suspicious when he was in there for an hour (trying to clean it), and he was forced to show her what had happened, and she got traumatized and started crying, and told him she didn't feel safe around his weird creepy gross rear end anymore, and he ruined her house, and he had to leave and never come back. Maybe it did involve jerking-it too. Basically goon.txt. I don't remember the thread though, sorry.

So a long while back there was a really big trend around fiesta cat, and at one point somebody commissioned a manufacturing run of fiesta cat plushies with the idea that he would sell them to goons. Except of course nobody bought them. He eventually posted a picture, or a picture leaked out, of him sitting in front of this wall of unsold plushes. Does anybody have that picture?

Thisvone is hilarious but I think i'm mixing two stories. The one Im thinking of the guy says at one point he likes 'having a wank' or something when he gets high and is at a birthday party or something. It was funny like piss bottle but I cant remember anything else that happened. Did i just mix the two stories up, its possible.

They were exactly what they sounded like. They weren't weird, they were the simplest representation of 8 day and 7 day weeks you could imagine. Just an extra box that also said "sunday" or "monday." The kind of thing where looking at the pictures the guy either himself was aware he was wrong and unwilling to admit it or straight-up looney.

I'm trying to remember the first Dwarf Fortress LP I ever read. All I can specifically recall from it is that one of the dwarves was attacked and beset by infection over his entire body, but somehow survived and was stuck in a bed for the rest of his life. They placed him, still in his bed, in a guard tower to stand sentry. I think he was the only dwarf to survive.

This is from a few pages back but I'm guessing it was the saga of Boatmurdered.
