I wrote a song about a goon that another goon sang and put music behind.

Also when I made MY 6969TH POST my average poo poo post count was 4.20 posts per day.

I like the third option: I keep the disc, and throw you both off.
Can't link the frontpage at the moment but I took a store name called Liquorama and changed it to Forum Drama and it made it to that Photoshop Friday post.

I guess if I don't brag about this here there's really no other place I'll ever get the opportunity to. I made these thread icons,



I also made/contributed to the early gooncon websites, vegas + toronto. I guess that's about it? I've been pretty low key.

What is YOUR goon-y claim to fame? What is something forum related that you have, or have done, where others don't?



I'll start --

I'm the only user I know that was banned by Radium, personally. In addition, in the ban, he called me an irritating f*****. Wow, quality!

I made :frogsiren: as a throwaway shitpost in some thread about smilies and it got very popular.

Also I met Lowtax a handful of times but never killed him when I had the chance.

No one really knew, he was a literal stranger we all met from the internet. I went to like 5 goon meets in a row and met him and his wife a lot they always seemed normal (for goons, they were always nice to me).


I once assaulted fragmaster in Las vegas, sorry man, turns out I'm autistic and drinking makes me freak out. I don't drink anymore.

Pretty sure I have the record for most separate stints as a mod, believe it's five?

Also pretty sure I have the most bans for page-snyping admin threads (10) from back in The Day™. The actual count is technically higher but there are a bunch on another long-dead user account.

I am probably somewhere in the top echelon of the :words:iest posters ever, like in terms of total word count across everything posted here. I was big into longer-form humor back in the 00s when that poo poo was more common/popular around here; if you add in all the gimmick posts which is literally hundreds of pages, the total count is probably at or near the top just by virtue of posting here so loving long, though it also wouldn't surprise me if I'm overlooking some subforum where folks have been pounding out manifestos for decades and have completely left everyone in the dust

I was one of the guest writers on the Zack Parson's "Great American Reach Around" or something where he'd write about different parts of the US and have guest writers write about a similar place somewhere else in the world. In the article about the Midwest I wrote about living in a rural part of Norway.

In 2006 or 2007 I got a freak AIM message from Lowtax. He saw my pixel art on one of the subforums and asked me to mock up a Something Awful MMO thing. It would've mostly been a Habbo Hotel-esque hangout thing but he also mentioned RPG elements. I don't know if this was known or who else he had talked to about it, but I figure y'all would find it interesting. I never mocked it up because I was intimidated and didn't want to eff up but maybe it's for the best lol.

Also I made Dropsy.

Bullet dodged, re: Lowtax.

Dropsy is still one of my favorite projects to exist, and there are times I'm astounded that I was even allowed to help a little. He's just such a good lil guy.

I did a good portion of the roughs I sent in wearing violently ugly magenta gloves because our heater broke during a freak cold snap. They were suede, and the only pair I had that left me with the dexterity to work.

Other than that, I've not done much of note to goons. I've worked on other projects, and there's actually quite a bit of my merch floating around out there in the wild, but I don't think it's of any interest to the denizens of SA.
