I don't really, I was too much of an anxious lurker to post much then so whoever got me as their stalkee probably had a really boring time though I do remember I think they bought a fake banner ad with some of my terrible art in it.

Was hoping someone else remembered if it led to anything interesting or was one of the more failed forums experiments.

The one I'm thinking of I don't think had any real rules. I think it was you get assigned a random stalker, and that person gets a new (maybe free?) account that they then use to basically try and dox you and then drop ominous hints about what they've found in threads you've posted in, via DM, or any other creative ways they could come up with. I dunno how accurately I'm recalling that. I think it was somewhere around 2002-2004.
