Helldump got rid of GIJoeDirtbag in a rather spectacular fashion, so overall I'd say it was a net positive. The simultaneous "gently caress GIJoeDirtbag" threads in Helldump and on the Eve Goonfleet forums were a thing of beauty.

Not to belabor the point but yeah, Helldump seemed to exist purely to dogpile posters. As time went on and we ran out of genuine threats to the community these people turned on each other. The idea of leading a dog pile against someone for posting an ORLY owl always creeped me out

It turning in on itself has already been mentioned plenty but it was really noticeable near the end when every single thread rapidly devolved into all parties present desperately trying to craft the most perfectly pointed yet make-it-look-real-casual burn they could and then everyone else in trying to lay lovely burns on the lovely burns in some sort of hosed up pathetic fractal type of situation where ultimately nobody really cared what the original point was anyway.

YeahTubaMike posted:That's the thing -- FYAD might occasionally do Helldump-esque stuff, but Helldump was a lot...cleaner, if that makes sense. For the most part, the posts were well-defended and contained tons of (mostly hilarious) evidence, and people's comments on those post were coherent and on-topic. It was just less cluttered altogether, even in the era of signatures, and imho it helped that the background wasn't pink. I agree, I also think that dedication attracted a certain type of poster that would feel like they had the moral high ground doxxing some poor idiot and take things too far. Helldump also killed the style of earnest gbs posting which was was often unintentionally the funniest stuff on the forums, the spirit of which only lives on a few threads (pen goons, etc). Fyad having some distance from that makes it more sustainable and I get to keep enjoying these forums.

Doxxing is like using blood magic. Most practitioners of the dark arts are transparently detestable. They work for no other purpose than their own twisted pleasure. They possess hearts of evil and are recognized as such, for from the dark arts only dark deeds may result. But occasionally comes a poster who tries to doxx in the name of good. Confident in the righteousness of their purpose, they seek to use profane tools to combat the profane. Perhaps they find a nazi's penis on a gay dating website and use it to silence his bigotry. And perhaps, if they stop there, they may have indeed done some small good for their community. But that poster is one in a thousand. For few who come upon the forbidden knowledge of the doxx arrived there by innocent means. And of those who did, the temptation to tap that primordial power once again, to scry the soul of another once more, is almost always irresistible. They will tell themselves "just this next one" as they reveal the secrets of another supposed wrongdoer. Then another. Soon anyone who has committed them any sleight, real or imagined, malicious or innocent, may become the next target. Thus they set themselves upon this cursed course. - Excerpt from the Goonomicon.

Yeah, Helldump was the start of "ironic" shitposting, which then took over the whole site. But before that we had people sincerely saying stuff like goondolences and derailing threads with puns. Apparently we can only have one or the other.

Same thing that always happens to stuff like that. The reality is the initial cause might be good and just but most of the people who latch onto it aren’t there for benevolent reasons. They just want the veneer of righteousness to justify their innate desire to poo poo on people. So naturally the legitimate things to get the pitchforks out over eventually run out but people just look around at each other and go “but our torches are still burning it’d be a waste to put em out now” so they stretch the definition of “bad people it’s okay to be bad to” farther and farther out until the cause is transparently misaligned. It’s a cycle that repeats itself endlessly online but you can’t point it out until the new hot iteration is in full swing because while people are generally willing to accept things went too far that previous time you can’t address the same thing happening now without being a <buzzword> enemy to the current cause. You’re either with em or against em.

Lol no one has brought up in pages and pages how oppressive the mod climate was when helldump was around. You could be probated or banned for the smallest things. I remember a d&d thread where the OP edited a picture of Groverhaus into his years old original post and he was banned. The slightest deviation from a moderator's specific orthodoxy would get you banned, no matter what the forum was or what the context was or anything. So I believe Helldump lived as a way for other posters to sublimate their aggression and alienation to and from the forums in general and to focus all their resentment and hatred away from the mods who actually made their posting life horrible and onto the other posters who were just swimming in the same poisoned waters.

Like you are a 12 year old male and your father beats the poo poo out of you all the time and you are a child so you have no power and no money so you continue to take the abuse but at school you beat and keep this other guy in fear and that makes you feel something and that was Helldump.

I liked garbage day it was truly a put up or shut up situation. But after all the low hanging fruit got picked they turned on eachother. I always felt Hulldump should be like brigadoomn and come back for a short time every few years.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:Lol no one has brought up in pages and pages how oppressive the mod climate was when helldump was around. It got steadily worse as well over the years. GBS became incredibly stale and boring because everyone seemed to be afraid to make a joke. The GBS first page got stale and static with the same threads on the first page every single day. Then GBS 2.0 happened which brought us to the current era. Charles posted:I liked Fragmaster but that was a really terrible way to handle things. I don't get it. Maybe he does suck and I didn't realize it at the time. *shrug* I remember there were two big complaints about him during his reign (no idea about the rape victim banning stuff until now, sickening). The search was broken his entire time here and it became a huge knock to ask him when he was going to fix it. The other was the proliferation of the "FYAD Lites" like LF, YCS and the rest. The Lites became a problem for the same reason Helldump became a problem in they became a big liability because the users acted like they were above the rules and became to attract the wrong kind of attention (LF got the Secret Service called on Lowtax which ended that era).
