The only thing I really remember from Helldump was Kuuenbu's legendary radio meltdown.

Helldump was a subforum. Hellbans are when your posts can only be seen by mods and admins, no one else.

that was fyad, and typeppar

that guy had posted in fyad for years, and they made fun of him casually for editing wikipedia (and other stuff), and then docevil long did that "make dumb wikipedia changes and tell only me" contest, and then typeppar killed himself several months later, and fyad made the story "killed himself over wikipedia edit contest" because that is funnier and easier to deal with than "guy with long suffering depression". abe was actually friends with typeppar if not irl then at least in regular contact with him internetwise, and he at first tried to have people confront what happened openly and honestly, and then rolled over to "what an idiot killed himself over wikipedia"

AFF trolling a kid to death over wikipedia is a better story though

the purpose of helldump was to create a societal forums structure where emphathy, effort, humor and even the mere act of posting itself were grounds for ostracization. it worked this way to cater to the internet equivalent of a neighborhood watch consisting entirely of insane angry virgins with nothing better to do than police others online 24/7. over time it was proven to be popular enough to be split into its own website and it exists to this day, somewhere in the depths of the web. spooky

I think it's safe to say that since no one remembers this, there was now suicide caused by Helldump. or everyone who knew of it died under mysterious circomstances

helldump was closed when it was discovered that popular car forum poster guy was a nazi. and the admins decided that the guy was too good at talking about cars to be made fun of for being a nazi, so they closed helldump instead. it was good.

Nazis made good cars. Maybe they thought he would improve the quality of posting, significantly.

Mainstream media even reported on Caro.

From: Salon.com

Article: NPR celebrates crazy forum troll’s decision to practice unlicensed medicine in Libya
Sub-Header: A young man with a history of paranoid writings and no combat or medical experience gets an uncritical interview

quote:

NPR’s “Morning Edition” profiles Kevin Dawes, a brave young American who went to Libya as a medical aid worker last summer, but who ended up taking up arms against pro-Gadhafi forces. It’s an inspiring tale of one man’s courage, and also one man’s possible mental illness. Because as numerous NPR commenters have pointed out, Dawes isn’t a “medical aid worker,” he’s an unbalanced Internet forum troll who taught himself rudimentary medicine on YouTube.

Michael Woodward comments, below the story:

quote:

Kevin Dawes was not a “medical aide worker” he is a self styled medic who taught himself the “skills” through youtube. He has no firearms training and is suffering severely from delusional and paranoid behavior. He is a danger to himself and others. In other stories about him, it is said even that battle hardened rebels are afraid of him and think he is crazy. This story is not researched and needs to be fact checked. I am sure that if you do search for some of his old screen names (try Caro)you will find some of his postings. Also, check out his blog and youtube channel- you will find he is not what this article portrays him to be.


Dawes has been repeatedly permanently banned from the rowdy Internet forum Something Awful for being not just a troll, but a troll widely assumed to be suffering from a possible severe personality disorder due to his insistence that he was the victim of a far-reaching conspiracy involving the San Diego police acting in league with forum moderators. (Upon one banning, moderators advised him, “seek professional psychiatric help and get back on meds!”)

...


The whole thing's hilarious depending on how you feel with it resulting in his death.
