I think Jastiger's real smart and will manage to keep quiet. He's one of the smartest posters to ever grace this site.

By the way, I think the REAL saga we need to talk about is how much the South sucks. The South really just sucks hard, guys. It's the loving worst.

Iowa, on the other hand, is a great place and we should all live there.

IDK if he changed his name, but that was Kheldragar. I remember because he bought an emote and named it after himself.

Seem to recall him being one of the original main SASS posters at the time too. Just so furious he kept getting made fun of for that chart he dedicated his life to poo poo posting all about the forums on an offsite.

I could be misremembering, but didn’t Landerig exile himself to one of those pre kiwifarms SA outcast sites once he discovered that he would never live down... pretty much everything about himself, and so could only find camaraderie amongst men who moved to China and converted to Greek Orthodoxy in order to preserve holy western culture from the threat of progressivism and, I assume, extradition law?

I think it was a previous iteration. Loq or HH or whoever managed that thread wisely decided not to post anything else from him. Not that there was any way to prove it was actually him.

Here is the gassed project thread (probably need archives):From dense rainforest to retreat center - a near overwhelming project

Some of the images still show up if you use the working Waffle mirror easiest way is probably use this script here:

The script linked above did not work for me in firefox so I played with it until it did. Also it did not correctly handle file extensions that were uppercase, which my version now does. I have not tested in chrome but I suspect it will not work.

Goons also directly ruined his plans by puffing up his ego and encouraging him to go beyond his initial idea for a hot dog cart with a simple menu and pushed him into opening a standing restaurant.

No. He wanted a hot dog cart, got some money raised by goons, then actually did a bare amount of research and figured out that hot dog carts were illegal in his county.

He was perfectly stable as a poster (enough to be a mod, for what that's worth) and he knew enough to get the actual gently caress out the very instant he was found out rather than denying or trying to double down or whatever like many of our most broken members. At least as far as I know, he never did anything particularly noteworthy as a poster.


Edit: if I remember right he did probe the first-reply to the patient zero My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic thread in TVIV that simply read, "You are a pedophile" which is funny in retrospect

pretty sure if a perma'd poster gets a new account and never really posts on it, they are effectively unbannable

but then again, if they never post, are they really a goon?

sometimes i think about lurkers, this whole shadow contingent of goons who have been reading the forums for years but for some reason post extremely rarely or never. sometimes i pop open the reading list and try to find active accounts with no post count. it's curious to think about the reasons someone may have been an observer of this forum for years and yet they effectively stay in the corner, content to watch others make the worst posts. obviously our posting standards are very low!

I can kind of remember what it was like reading but never posting. I lurked for three years before I registered and still really enjoyed myself except for when the accursed paywall would strike.

I've had this idea that The Goon Problem is partially attributable to A) people too young to encounter this level of self-justified misanthropy get twisted on negativity & B)miserable goons, desperate for someone to give their misery meaning, naturally gravitate towards the ideas of the only people with the proper combination of novel thinking, bluster and ignorance needed to inspire them; teenagers. Hence we always buy into the dumbest, extreme permutations of extant political and philosophical ideas.

I call it The Manchildren's Crusade Theory.
