OniPanda posted:This one does not reference masturbatory habits. It's used when you're calling someone an rear end in a top hat. The jerking off motion signifies you don't care what they're saying, or that the person is full of poo poo. This same gesture is used in England in order to refer to someone as a wanker, which has the same masturbatory implications.  Luckily, Wikipedia has made a very educational photographic illustration of this gesture, for the betterment of human knowledge:

It's a reference to the Pink Flyer thread, where a goon found pink flyers with the phrase "Why is this flyer pink?" on them, and started posting his own. One of the variations has the ghost from on it with the phrase "It is a mystery"But yeah, it's because ghosts are mysterious.

I would assume it's because ghosts are spooky, and mysteries are also spooky. Since it's almost never used sincerely the ghost helps underline the inanity of an unknown, since ghosts are dumb and do not exist.

What's the story behind the *.txt thread names, like, say, wowplayers.txt, tumblr.txt, etc.? Was there some kind of an origin .txt file that gave rise to this?

Suspicious Dish posted:The whole .dll crazy became popular with things like "nope.avi" and "internet.jpg" Don't forget the many goons.jpg threads. And hello.jpg, of course. Threads with *.txt names I believe started from goons' tendency to save interesting/stupid/hilarious quotes etc. in txt files for archiving.

I just saw this referenced in an a/t thread and I was wondering what the story behind  is? For further context, someone asked what differentiated a conspiracy theorist goon from and someone replied "about 400 dollars."

Hey, can I ask about gang tags here? I get the video game related ones (third street saints, H+, and the Dark souls font), but there are a bunch that I have no clue about. Namely Burnouts, Sad Brains, and Whizzards. What are they symbolic of?

So is z0r the reason that z0r chains exist or did he just name himself after them? Goons in various games I've played have z0r'd things up for as long as I can remember.
