I miss the days of there being a poo poo million goons with scanners reporting on events live. I was living in MA when the Boston bombing happened and that thread would reliably drop news half an hour before CNN did.

I have a feeling that a part of that was because a goon was good friends with one of the families affected by the bombing, so he was extra-invested in what was going on.

There are some people in QCS who are really mad about the goofy April Fools prank, which might be the funniest effect of the prank of all.

This is just making me remember Malatora, and how wild that was.

Conquering an island in Madagascar, creating robo-dragon bodies with sixteen penises, destroying all who dare attack. Good times.

I know I said I was going to bed but I just want to toss out the fact that Chubby Coffee went into the LP forum to file a report on me for the dumb sci-fi VN I'm LPing to try and make it seem like I was showing off a hentai game or something. Real cool and healthy behavior.

Weird way to describe Star Trek Online but I guess I can see it.

I don't believe there is. Who even still thinks about that movie or wasn't shocked when they said they were making more? Is the person who played the girl alien even famous now? Was she then?

Did you seriously just ask if Zoe Saldana is famous now?

Zoe Saldana was nominated for the 2010 MTV Choice Award for 'Best Kiss' for her kiss with Sam Worthington in Avatar.

Which is wild given both of them were CGI cat aliens at the time, so neither one of them participated in the kiss as seen on-screen. Really, MTV should have nominated the effects studio for Best Kiss in 2010.

I mean, there were definitely horrible posts being made in FYAD that triggered the whole thing. We all know this, and they sucked and the people who made them were punished. The problem was what came after.

kind of what I was going for, you have individual members of a group who are bad/wrong and instead of targeting them the entire group is blamed for the sins of the few and held accountable for not stopping it themselves.

honestly i dont think those posts were horrible. and before you get all shocked yes, im referring to the posts by lucy, raspy and mrspooky. i understand why people got really mad at them but i dont care, they werent that bad

Okay. It's definitely your right to be unaffected by your friends posting some heinous poo poo, just like it's other people's right to be extremely uncomfortable with it. Glad we've reached an agreement.

You could just go look at the forum you know, there's some pretty good posts on the first page.

So I'm just going to point out that I just did this, since every other time I tried to check FYAD out in the years before The Troubles I ran into jokes with slurs and between that and the Forums Perception Of FYAD I came to the conclusion that it was just full of shitheads I don't really want to be around.

Literally the first thread I checked out had a bunch of the posters emptyquoting a joke from an IK with a homophobic slur in it. I get that they're not a den of Nazis and people were real lovely to them during all of this but maybe I don't want to keep seeing that poo poo in order to find one of these fabled jokey-jokes that makes the slurs worthwhile, you know?

As someone who has done video editing for a large, nationwide television network, I think the biggest red flag is the idea that anyone would do serious video editing on a laptop.

No that was negromancer, the same guy who pretended to work for the somethingawful server host in order to accuse lowtax of storing credit card numbers for some nebulous reason

So this is only a half-serious question but do we know that was a false accusation, given Lowtax's whole, uh...Thing?
