Can you remind us of the details, i want to have a go at finding it

edit: wait I think I remember what you said, was it some thread that got really into it and ended up cheating little kids?

"ugggh i just remembered something that annoys me a lot
on SA there was a neopets nostalgia thread and that was fine
we were all logging into our 15-year dormant accounts and fussing over our dying akaras and poo poo
but then all these 30yo women started taking it really seriously bc goons are terrible
that neednt have been so bad, a lil odd but not super weird
but then they started posting all the best ways to min-max ur neopoints and how to get the TOP TIER ACCESSORIES and it turns out the fastest way to get them is entering competitions for like, art or short stories
but it's a kids' game, so the judges aren't going to just give the top prizes to ppl who are obviously adults, so they were posting all these fuckin strategies for drawing/writing to seem like a child
so they could basically steal the dumb neopet digital toys from the actual kids who used the site"

I got a kick out of it at first but kind of wish it stuck to its supposed original plan of “no rules for Halloween weekend then back to heavy moderation” instead of all the cuck meme, “im gay” posts, and whatnot. Clearing house and venting was cool but it got pretty weird pretty quick.

it turned real loving bad real fuckin fast which is why ive wished for proper capitalization newsposting gbs to come back. at least it was funny unintentionally.

I vaguely remember a story about a man who was eating a whole pizza while sitting on a park bench, saw a small group of young black men walking in his direction (presumably because the bench was right next to a sidewalk), and being so terrified that he threw the pizza in their general direction and ran away. I do not remember if it was a story that somebody here told, or one from somewhere else that was simply discussed here. Does anyone remember this more concretely?

One of the lines was "Yo [incomprehensible]" and iirc they asked him for a toke/cig/a light.

He slipped through the cracks of the fyad purge.
I know you liked fyad but he's trying to mock cspam and the entire concept of giving a poo poo about other oppressed human beings which makes him dumpster trash and worthy of a perma tia :tipshat:

More like the 2 week mark starting with the long effort post by someone who said they returned their wife's christmas presents so they could donate $6k to a racist white redneck with fantasies of being a restaurant mogul.

It just descended from there as goons got so hyped on their own farts they started insisting Doobie embrace a bunch of SA specific stuff like make a "frog-dog" and start getting really testy when it wasn't happening fast enough.


The guy who ended up triggering the furor was posting in QCS to complain about some poo poo from BBS and also happened to love Weapon Brown as an excuse for why he should be allowed to say the bad word.


And so the forum went to war.

These style of posters blend together for me, but he was aggressively bad, and unless I misremember, was so desperate for attention that he posted nudes of himself where he was holding and sucking off a condom filled with poo poo. I guess maybe he had some humiliation-fetish, but who on Earth knows.

the kind of poster that when told to get out of fyad becomes antagonistic and spiteful like a little kid ftw

On a much funnier but also pathetic note, remember how when the fast food subforum was created some profoundly paranoid posters got upset because it was clearly a secret clubhouse for FYAD to plot dastardly deeds and couldn't understand that no, it was just a place for fat goons to discuss fatty foods? Because that actually happened.

reminder that in a previous iteration of this very thread i asked about a neopets saga and this prompted pages long discussions about how neopets was being used as a dogwhistle and/or diversion tactic, which also prompted List Guys to spring into action like swat breach teams

he had a big popular thread in GBS and then after some rule changes ended up getting ripped apart. does that thread still exist on the forums anywhere? archives?

as soon as gbs became rules free i called his comic awful cringey sub maddox tier poo poo and he told me if i drew a comic of myself getting prisonraped he'd stop posting forever so i did that and when everyone liked it more than his poo poo he left in a hissy fit lol

"Barney" was in reference to the avatar that someone had of an Undertale character who is a purple dinosaur. I don't think it ever meant "trans people" except incidentally because the poster who had it was very prominent in the goings-on and was trans. "Barney" referred to people in the perceived clique around that poster.

it is absolutely insane that people got probated for saying barney and the reason being "usage of an intended slur". the mods are some of thed umbest motherfuckers on the planet i swear

Didn't the guy that started it get chased out within like a week by the very same psychos involved in the FYAD stuff? Also there's been some speculation that at least 5/7 of their mods/admins are predators.

in short:
-smarxist got tired with SA due to perceived right wing sentiments. i think it had to do with dickeye getting perma'd, mostly.
-started bnr, made a huge post asking to be permabanned and directing ppl to bnr.
-this coincided perfectly with the resentment left over from the tgrs/fyad debacle
-a bunch of tgrs ppl self banned or left to bnr
-week or so later, smarxist came back because the people chosen to run bnr decided he wasnt good for it (Tidus_laugh.mp4)
-time passes, i dont remember who did what exactly, but two bnr mods, tash-something and zyla were revealed to have been sending bad poo poo to ppl on goon adjacent discords. I think one of them sent dick pics and the other was lusting over a member, whose boyfriend was present. for transparency's sake; I wasnt in either place and i heard all of this second hand from people who apparently were in those spaces, so grain of salt, might have been goon telephone'd.
