There was a thread decades ago where a goon went to buy a car at a dealership or sell a car, I can't remember which, and ended in a big ol reversal of fortune whereupon he was brutally owned. I have fond memories of that happening. Okay, bye. Thanks.

There was one goon selling a car and told two prospective buyers to meet him at the same time, expecting them to bid on it. He got punched in the face.

I sure remember liking the video game Lets Plays of The Dark Id over the past decades. Someone on a Discord mentioned something about that and- OH JESUS CHRIST WHAT WHY

Leper Go-getter posted:And then there was 14inch and his methhead automotive saga that seemed an incredible series of events being told and documented and I kept F5'ing the threads for whatever came next. The worst part is that we were pulling so hard for Dave to clean up, get sober and back on his meds, and find a place in the world where he belonged. Because when he was more or less straight, he was funny and charming and earnest and an absolute fountain of ancient Honda knowledge. He just kept getting handed one bad turn after another, one poo poo sandwich every time he turned around. Dave was AI's greatest project, the man we were going to save from hell itself. And then we get the message from the guy who had gone the farthest and taken him into his own home to get him straight: Dave is not who we think he is and is not to be trusted under any circumstances. And we're not given the clearest picture of why, for sake of the victim, but the answer is pretty goddamned clear in his rap sheet. And then, a pattern emerged that we had all been willingly blind to. Dave had a habit of finding a community that welcomed and accepted him, and settling in so well we were happy for him, and then unexpectedly everything went south with no explanation and Dave was on the road again. We told ourselves it was a pattern of persistent bad luck. It wasn't. Dave had been a predator for a long, long time in hindsight, moving from community to community to continue his crimes. We were just fools who enabled him.

I still lol at some plague rats and boba pearl being permad within, what, a month? For buying themselves transphobic avs and blaming it on their posting enemies, only to be undone by the av change cost being the one for doing it yourself. I miss plague rats, when they were right they were right. I definitely don't miss boba making GBS threads up comics threads with her ugly rear end comics though. Also the revelation that boba was a permabanned user who tried to do a terrorism over some farm cows or some poo poo.

Hirayuki posted:Thank God I wasn't alone on this. I really started to resent her constant attempts to turn a PYF comic thread into her very own comic-writing and -retooling workshop. Of course, ignoring her meant I missed all the best drama at the end, lol. Hell yes. One of the things that led me to unsubscribe from the comics thread. To be fair, they weren't alone in aggressively and repeatedly posting terrible content in that thread, but

I stopped reading that thread when it kind of stopped being post your FAVORITE comic and more just who can post the most comic.

Thorsby I can almost understand. Putting aside his eye-searing artwork, the guy is quite clever and imaginative. But yes, there were far too many people posting multiple pages of a mediocre comic everyday, while saying "I know it's bad but it picks up after 300 pages" or "only 17 volumes to go!" or "haha, it's so bad, that's what's so funny"

Yeah, even though they caused some laughs in the end, gently caress Boba Pearl for that comic and ruining threads for me.

Someone else recommended the Phenazepam thread. One thing I love about it is that on the very first page OP gives detailed instructions on how not to gently caress up taking it and goons still hosed up taking it.

There was this long mock thread called "The newest evolution of the furry: the mechie." It was about a girl named June who drew this terrible Deviantart style porn about planes, trains, and automobiles doing the dirty. Then goons dug deeper and found online diaries of hers. Among other typical nerdy things, she was super into samurai sword play, and would practice her skills during her lunch break at work. Sadly, goons being goons, the stalking went too far and the thread had to be gassed. I still think about her every now and then, swinging a wooden sword around the break room while other people are trying to eat in peace.

I ran a goon guild in some long forgotten failed MMO, Aion maybe? We started an off-forums site for the goon guild, and we stole a rival guilds name in the game. The guild leader of said guild found my personal cell phone number and called me and yelled at me to give them their name back. I have lots of fond memories of all the Call of Duty threads every year and the goons that played together (shout to Mister Macys for always building a murder fort). Hakan threads were always fun. GBS back in the day was always a toss-up of "what kind of weird poo poo am I going to see today?"

Does anyone remember the goon posting a fairly long, ongoing story about the adventures of a really irritating classmate (or similar) who kept popping up and wreaking havoc in their life? It was illustrated with the occasional rough sketch, including this one for whenever the classmate broke into (terrible) song, which was distressingly often:![]()
