The McNally shirts saga should be hall of fame all time greatest.

Like many things in GiP it was a joke about people taking the piss at others in GiP, then some do-gooders from other forums searched it out and raised holy hell with the mods screaming that everyone involved in GiP should get permabanned for what they did and when it was all revealed as a prank said outside agitators ate poo poo for being morons.

Also, people then wanted to buy the McNally shirts themselves as well.

I dunno about searching it out. The prank was posted in the GIP Current Events thread, which is fairly high traffic for GIP because of the quality of the posts, and from there posted here.

this thread is pretty much just really high traffic, so things here get seen

What the gently caress do you think you're going to get, dude? The mod forums aren't the highly-organized star chamber you and eleventy-thousand other dipshits seem to think it is.

If you think 95% of the mods are even in anything like regular contact with each other, you're quite mistaken; for my part, I've talked extensively with Literally A Bird (because she brought me in and was my colleague), How Wonderful! (because I post a lot in BSS and like her as a person), Jeffrey (because he's a good dude and holds the keys) and, um... that's it.

That's not to say I don't like or respect the other mods, or that I haven't conversed with them occasionally, but we just don't have the sinister web of relationships a lot of people seem to assume exists.

Almost all of the posts in the mod forum recently have been "how do we knit this back together without Lowtax," so basically you can kiss my delicious cinnamon rear end for assuming we're somehow acting in bad faith. It's coming down right now for the team to either walk away and let the place be vandalized and shat upon beyond preservation, or sticking around for the people who actually made this place worth their time.

I don't think people want the mod forums leaked because of some sinister plot(this time around) but it would be really neat to be able to look at the discussions around historical events to see how the mods were taking it.

I'd buy sinister plots of previous sets of modmins, and those would be cool to confirm/debunk directly, but this crew seems almost universally for the good of the forums

I got Oliver from a friend of mine who's house got too crowded. It was him and one other cat(with she and her husbands 3 kids) originally, but the household exploded and ended up with 2 roommates and a mother-in-law, as well as another cat and 3 dogs. Oliver wasn't happy, so he came to live with me.

Business buyouts are a pain in the rear end. As far as property ownership, that can all be negotiated and could be one of the things that's taking awhile if Jeff doesn't want a GT-R and now Lowtax has to redo financing without the LLCs income stream. That's if the car is leased to the forums at all. Proving a business purpose for an internet forum to have a sports car would be a pain for someone to do with a bank.

I seem to recall someone posting tax(?) documents showing a couple of cars(a 2016 porche and a 2020 something else, not the GTR) registered to the forums for tax evasion purposes
