Remember that time that a goon whose username I can't remember and only remember him as Back Panther (because of the tattoo of a panther covering his entire back) got into a motorcycle accident, lost an arm, and then used the settlement money to buy another motorcycle? Because I can't find anything about him anymore and I really would love to share the story in more detail.

It's in the goldmine so i can't quote it, but here's an old goons.jpg post that features Back Panther and also a post-accident pic. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3610276&pagenumber=18&perpage=40#post426184987 Doesn't have his username (unless it's actually backpanther i guess) As an aside, searching for back panther right now that Chadwick Boseman has passed away made it a chore trying to convince google that's what i actually mean e: that thread also has pictures of doc evil (aka @fart) getting owned by a guy in a shark costume, Guy Fieri, and Smashmouth  eat the egg a kitten has a new favorite as of 04:27 on Aug 30, 2020 |

vyelkin posted:Hiking Across America is one of the ones that occasionally spontaneously pops into my head, a goon tried to walk across America and didn't even make it out of the park he started in because he brought nothing to eat except gorp even though experienced hikers had repeatedly told him to bring actual food otherwise he could literally die. This is still my favorite saga because there were so many good informative posts made on hiking that I learned a lot of cool poo poo from that the goon just stubbornly ignored despite everyone telling him it would end in failure if he didn't take some of that poo poo to heart, only to end with him failing even harder than everyone's expectations. It's like the goon in a well parable except everyone's shouting advice at him before he even starts digging yet he still ends up at the bottom of a hole wondering how he ended up there.

Moon Slayer posted:
"NO YOU SHUT THE gently caress UP, DAD" didn't actually happen on the forums, but is adjacent to it. Back in the day when GBS-FM was still new and had a large userbase, there was a member named Kuuenbu. Kuuenbu is genuinely autistic and has severe issues with a) anger, b) modulating his voice and c) really loving loves metal, like too much. At the time, GBS-FM had radio DJ slots on the weekend where a user could run a show for an hour or so, playing whatever they liked and talking in between; most of the time this was great and we had some really good and chill shows. Kuuenbu was for the most part okay, just very loud and way too enthusiastic about metal, to the point anything that wasn't metal "wasn't music". One weekend, he'd mistakenly taken someone else's slot on the dj rooster, and instead of going "oh, my bad, I'll back out and you can take over and we'll figure out something to make up for the time I accidentally took, given his issues he had a meltdown. I'll admit, since I was around for it and in the IRC-channel for the station, we did our best to egg him on because 00's goons didn't exactly have good graces, which definitely made it much worse than it should've been. The audio in the youtube is about midway through, by that point he'd started freaking out hard because people were voting his show 1, his dad comes in and tells him to please stop screaming so loudly at which point "NO YOU SHUT THE gently caress UP DAD" happens. Kuuenbu still hung around after the incident and despite all our best efforts to get him to a place where he'd manage to start talking in an indoors voice, it fell on deaf ears and he slowly drifted away. Last I heard he was a raging racist because why not? I believe he got helldumped at some point, but I never read that forum so I don't know how true that is. There's no real thread about him, unless someone can dig up the ancient GBS-FM thread from around 2004-2006, or look around in NME, since he posted a lot about The Loudness War in the metal thread there. Overall, the main consensus from those of us who talked to him is that he never had any real chance because his dad is as bad as he is and his mom is "my precious angel never do anything bad", so he's never gotten any professional help.

This, but add in 'goon taste' and you get a wild assortment of incredibly bad music, hilariously bad but intentionally so music, very good music and anything in between. One time we even invented fake genre's for a joke and ended up creating Post-Rave. Specifically, Uzbeki Post-Rave because that was hilarious to us for some reason. It consisted of really terrible drumbeats overlaid with Star Fox samples.

Some blurry knowledge, so maybe someone else can fill in the gaps: "Lost fingat" was a (or some) goon(s) devising increasingly deranged ways to get rid of a non working console, I think it was used as a toilet at some point? He'd post pictures of each step. So in the end he used something to make it explode, but he miscalculated and blew up his hand. The title is the mispelled text message he presumably sent from the ER. I think he later admitted to making some or all of it up. "Mermaid Shelly" was part of a group and made incredibly well-made mermaid costumes, for unclear purposes. She wouldn't stop talking about mermaids (I think that was the isssue) though, and at some point she got mod-challenged to snap some pics of herself as a mermaid, sporting that exact phrase on a visible part of the pic, or get banned. She was an incredible good sport about that, and did a SA photoshoot with her costume near a pool, which won her the thread.

CannonFodder posted:Someone took the original audio where it cuts out and even though he muted the mic evidently the speakers picked up some of the sound and Kuuenbu is just screaming at the top of his lungs. I don't have it and I don't want it because it was genuinely scary. My cousin has some pretty severe Asperger's and my aunt referred to outbursts like that as "meltdowns." The emotion just boils over into pure rage. My cousin at least had them pretty rarely and they were never directed at another person, but I do remember his worst one was when he dropped his Game Boy Advance under the car seat and she slid it forward to retrieve it and crushed the screen. The fury was unreal, like someone had just killed his dog in front of him.

CannonFodder posted:Actually the thread was started by Sponrad where he posted her webpage in a "Hey look at this weirdo" way and everyone in the thread was "That's fine, she's doing something she likes" and then the Mod challenge was actually for everyone else to dress as a mermaid holding a "Sponrad is better down where it's wetter" sign to get a probe or ban for Sponrad. Mermaid Shelly noticed the traffic to her site, signed up to say Hi, and then took part in the challenge. At some point the challenge included "in a mermaid outfit while holding a fat blunt" but she went classy with the long cigarette holder. Fair enough, thanks! Now that you mention it, I remember the mock thread too, yeah. Here's the link to it (goldmined): https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3449232 Edit: on reading the thread, it seems like she wanted to say "hi" but also shelled up her website to goons. Abe did not like that and re-challenged her to participate or get review-bombed by goons. She took it remarkably well! Shellception has a new favorite as of 22:58 on Aug 30, 2020 |
