Was there an official announcement somewhere where the "sweeps week" mods were referred to as "Idiot Kings" or did someone just refer to them as that and it caught on as part of an organic process?

Up until I saw it spelled out a little while ago I thought "IK" stood for "Interim [K word I couldn't guess]"

it was originally called Luv Gangsters, because the "batting in the light" verse was originally:

"pistols on the sides,
luv gangsters on the rise, yeah.
pistols on the sides,
luv gangsters on the rise."



Now that you have learned something about mike doughty go forth and post happily before GBS again becomes a terrible cesspool of megathreads and MS paint poo poo shows.

When Ralp was an IK (back in the early historical period when we first reg'd), he had a star that read "Internet Knight". In retrospect, that should have been a clear warning sign.
