We need to bring back helldump. I'm tired of going to SASS for my smackdown fix.

Sabel and pumpy muffinz could be the ringleaders.

I miss the funny good parts of helldump, which are not the parts anyone on SASS can replicate

Without their natural predators the forums creeper population has really exploded admins should at least implement an open season and tag limit

helldump was pretty SASSy by the end but it was funny for a little while.

boniface on gawker posted:


The boards I favored were the better ones of the type, where members were socially and politically liberal and unserious, devoted to a meritocracy of jokes. Thinking up a great one-liner—the briefer the better—kicked off an endorphin rush. But they were still closed systems. And when you see the same people, or representations of people, all the time, familiarity overpowers the anarchy. Power structures and cliques assert themselves; what would have been an innocuous burn gets added to a growing list of resentments, framed by an e-feudal caste structure. Are you up or down? What did that post mean? You now have a serious relationship with stupid poo poo.

And that relationship comes with implacable rules. One is that no matter who you are, in the hierarchy of the board, you will—through some terminally white version of the logic of The Wire—get got. If you are a bad and unfunny poster, they will come for you right away. If you are un-bad but still unfunny, they will tolerate your white noise for weeks or months, then get sick of you and come for you. If you are good and funny and popular, well, what goes up goddamn well has to come down again. People don't like being bested. Only a tiny set of people are so big-hearted and talented that they won't find themselves receiving more jabs than they have the gloves to block. I was not one of those.

basically none of the article is funny including the part i posted

it seemed funny at the time and exposed some classic characters in the sa gooniverse but if you go back and read old helldump threads, so much of it was shrill unfunny "burns" and idk, maybe i'm just too old for that stuff now or something

i feel like bringing helldump back would be funny but I also believe that a goon outing themselves as a terrible person with no prodding whatsoever is equally hilarious.

by doxxing standards helldump was pretty mild since they didn't actually start posting people's addresses or harassing them at work

it was pretty lame then too. the only good part was garbage day, when one helldump poster (usually someone who responded to their own callout thread) was permabanned by popular vote per week by fragmaster.

He's prob. one of the few from that list who's not dead by now. I don't know who the red faced pancake guy is but no way that guy still lives, he doesn't really look like he'd make it another ten minutes.

The great thing about getting yelled at by dipshit internet liberals is, nobody cares about getting yelled at by dipshit internet liberals. LF tried to helldump D&D posters a fair few times including some who were legit loving awful; they're still there, LF's all gone

Most of the Helldumped knew they were monsters and would bare their fangs or flee when outed, if you didn't show up to your thread to roll with the punches or try to turn the tables on your accusers and weren't an actual sex criminal or something they'd pretty much just die. but this rarely happened
