Did you read the long rear end article boniface unironically wrote about his posting career? I didn't read much of it but it seemed pretty embarassing. He is now a gawker writer or something. http://gawker.com/5987590/let-me-introduce-myself-farewell-to-mobutu-sese-seko

It's p awkward to read but I think that's the point, he's still a good funny dude imo

bonestructure posted:

In another thread, Ralp mentioned a couple of names that had been pm'd to him as good mod candidates for GBS with the reasoning that "they post a lot in GBS." To my mind that's more of a red flag than a recommendation, because it seems like the people who are most emotionally invested in the forums, to the extent that SA is a large part or even the entirety of their social life and interaction with other humans, make really terrible mods. If someone is the kind of already unstable, socially-inept person that makes posting on an internet forum their whole world and their identity and then they're given a certain amount of extra power in that world, it's a safe bet that sooner or later a trainwreck is going to ensue. They're too needy and take what's essentially a fun, silly pastime way too seriously. Then you get poo poo like Mayor Wilkins grooming emotionally damaged women from E\N to come live with him or Aatrek and his kiddy-fiddling past or SilverSliver completely flipping out the minute fyad made fun of her or redshirt melting down as soon as it looks like someone is questioning his authoritah in front of his GBS pals. Don't mod anyone who takes themselves and SA too seriously.

he was funny yeah but holy poo poo how far up the festering rear end in a top hat of internet drama do you have to be to write a tell-all about it and expect anyone who isn't equally far up said rear end in a top hat to take you seriously on any level whatsoever

I'm willing to give a pass for being melodramatic about internet bullshit when said internet bullshit extends to doxxing and irl stalking stuff but yeah, that article's more painful than I remembered


ArbitraryC posted:

Yeah I mean he was just saying stuff like rehab and 12 step programs have terrible success rates and that is pretty true. I always thought that meltdown was another good example of a subset of posters causing forum drama for the sake of forum drama. Iirc the people complaining didn't even post in tcc and sure as poo poo didn't actually care about the welfare of tcc posters as seen by the repeated jokes over that guy who died in his car.

Some goons really like pretending to be morally outraged to get mods or other posters in trouble and I dunno why the admins keep falling for that gimmick when the same posters turn around and make jokes about the very same things they were pretending was such an outrage.
Finding something wrong with telling a dying girl to just die, in the forum you've run herd on that has a literal thread for heroin users to discuss using heroin, ie the reason that girl is dying, is just forums bullies making up drama in order to spite mods yeah okay guy

all im saying is its no worse advice in practice than "gargle unicorn cum" for someone on the internet who's just going to ignore you and keep taking heroin and probably die

The headman for the Harm Reduction Forum with the double-digit bodycount and the runaway do-a-dare megathreads on snorting mail-order Soviet brainwashing chemicals probably shouldn't tell dying people to skip treatment and gargle unicorn cum either

uh actually lsd is kinda well known for helping people kick addictions and has been used therapeutically for that purpose for many decades. hondarider running off to something sensitive to cry about it, well, that was funny. but i always thought it was weird that the goons who thought that goon cooking to death in a car was hilarious and totally internet pwned his grieving girlfriend with sick burns were the same goons who were really shocked and offended that hondarider told a junkie who had been in and out rehab and is probably dead by now of an overdose to take :ohdear: more drugs and it just kind of came off as like these badass renegade internet trolls are actually boring sheltered nerds who get their jollies from dumb stuff like internet drama instead of cool stuff like drugs.

Well you see Sexgun Rasputin people with normal brain chemistry may simultaneously find this gif funny and not actively want to create a situation where more guys get crushed and ignited

making fun of the drug guys is funny because they try to defend themselves but all they say is "hugfugugug im on drugs"

you don't really need to say anything at all they're already funnier than anything anyone else can say

one of those guys just wandered into TFR a few weeks back asking for advice on how to get a gun despite being on a federal watchlist for threatening presidential candidates, which he apparently tried to get out of trouble for by the proven method of two-fisting benzos meth and ketamine until they'd decide he was retarded, apparently we all must choose between finding this man comical and desiring that he not assassinate a politician under the highly comedy-understanding regime of a bunch of oldgbs as gently caress posters with Opinions About FYAD
