Does anyone have that guy who had a meltdown about chessex dice not being perfectly random saved? The A/T thread appears to be gone and there's a very relevant thread happening in tradgames.

Fishmech should have been banned for being fishmech long before whatever happened happened, but 'indescribably tedious poster' ain't exactly a saga. Or, at least, not one worth reading.

This is going to sound like a very stupid question, so I am sorry.

But I was thinking about the Koalas March thing, and how she had a sock puppet account where she would praise herself and say how awesome she was, so other people would notice/like her.

Has there ever been the case of the opposite? i.e. Where a poster has a sock puppet that follows them around saying how poo poo and bad they are? They would do this so they get noticed by other people, and also to get internet sympathy, because from the perspective of everybody else they would be being picked on by a stranger for no reason.

Yes, I know that is a stupid, pointless, and quite likely self-defeating thing to do. But this is the internet, and weirdos have done worse to become "forums famous".

In terms of sagas, can someone give me the more than one line but less than the whole thread synopsis of Doobies Dog House? I'm sure there's a great turn in there somewhere, but it's a long thread and :effort: at reading the whole thing when I don't know where it starts being funny.

km's behaviour was absurd and she was responsible for a lot of people being hurt, but i still think it's unfair to dismiss her completely as only in it for her own ego. her motivation was to make the forums a less bigoted place. how she went about this was (very) flawed, and many of her actions ended up being self-serving, but we have no reason to think she didn't believe wholeheartedly in what she was doing, nor that she misrepresented herself in any way. the way women of colour are treated on the internet sucks, and most of the abuse km claimed to receive was real; and her crew of legitimately marginalised-irl posters had also individually copped a lot of abuse in their lifetimes, which was real too. i'm not excusing how they all acted, it was a deeply unfortunate situation, but they still deserve some sympathy and understanding of their perspective.

The problem with km is that she was using these very real issues to directly, personally benefit at the expense of the members of said marginalized communities. It's the 'continuing to post in secret after making a big deal out of being threatened and leaving the site' and the reportedly weak rationalizations after the fact (I didn't see them but one former km follower compared them to the excuses their abusive mother used to give) that tip the scales over from community support to active grift.

From what I've seen people seem pretty understanding of her supporters, if anything they're the real victims here.

Somehow I feel like even if all the posts in it are quoting other non-FYAD posts or making hyperbolic parodies of them "Thread for gun owners to explain why Islam is a font of degeneracy" might be a bad thing to have around. Especially given the layer of irony inherent to FYAD making the source or mockery sometimes hard to parse.

I don't touch fyad ever but that one is about Cyrano and his uhh, very poor response to a poster posting about such in TFR. I'm guessing they brought it back up because of their recent displeasure, but it was a source of some consternation a while back.

Ill give you it's a bad look if you're not aware of that particular bit of forums drama.

For reference, the poker forum was closed down because of some concerns around IRL gambling laws in the US, I believe. Some of the threads were moved to TG where they could justify existing because they were playing with "pretend money" of some kind, but I don't know if those are still alive or if they eventually moved discussion offsite.

There's a thread but it says to stay out if you're from the US.

One apartment had the stove directly across from the refrigerator in the hallway that served as a kitchen, so it was super easy to nudge them when getting something out of the fridge.

We woke up to a house filled with gas on multiple occasions, at least one of which wasn't caused by a drunk person. We finally got the child covers after like the third time.
