Who is this mysterious youth? This is none other than John Du Hart V, FacePunch ex-moderator and web developer. What is so special about John, who we affectionately call compwhizii? Well, compwhizii was born on April 22, 1994, meaning he could not legally work without an official work permit until April 22nd of this year. But, as sources have confirmed, compwhizii was commissioned to work on the next version of Facepunch, Facepunch: vb4, for at least two months prior to John's 16th birthday. What does this mean for your benevolent leader, Gary Numan? Well, for one thing, this explicitly violates the [url="http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/statutes/FairLaborStandAct.pdf"]Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938[/url], in the United States Code as [url="http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode29/usc_sec_29_00000201----000-.html"]29 USC §201[/url]. Because Facepunch Studios also engages in interstate commerce (insofar as Garry and his partners profit off of both Facepunch Forums and Garry's Mod in more than one United States state), Facepunch Studios is liable for an $11,000 minimum fine. In accordance to the "hot goods" provision of the FLSA, Facepunch Forums, being a direct result of illegal child labor, must cease shipment; in this instance, [url]www.Facepunch.com[/url] would cease to exist until all applicable fines are paid. Furthermore, the way in which Garry Newman compensates John Du Hart V is wholly and obviously illegal. Wiring money directly overseas (from England to the United States), circumventing constitutional provisions for income tax, is even more troubling than the exploitation of a blissfully ignorant minor. Neglecting to fill out a W-9 form further proves Garry Numan's intent to willfully circumvent the IRS and, in doing so, mock America and Americans. [url="http://www.edd.ca.gov/pdf_pub_ctr/de573ca.pdf"]These "under-the-table" wages take money away from important civil projects like education and healthcare[/url]; working to decrease the American standard of living. Gary Newman hates you, your community and your country.

John Du Hart V. Unbeknownst to him, he is being exploited at the expense of not only him but America.

Compwhizii purchased this tuxedo with laundered money from none other than Gary Newman.
Garry's penchant for white-collar crime doesn't stop there, however. The two highest-ranking moderators, Hezzy and Dragon, receive compensation for their work (Source: Steam chat with none other than Benji). The meager sum of money wired to them directly from Garry Numan violates the federal minimum wage for both Hezzy, a citizen of Great Britain, and Dragon, an American citizen. The irregular hours and unpredictable nature of moderating such a large community lead to an unprecedented amount of stress on Hezzy and Dragon which clearly warrants at least the federally-mandated minimum wage.

The man himself, Gary Numan. Also pictured is the camera he took as a bribe for providing intangible forum services.
Garry Newman's trail of deceit, sadly, does not end there. His nonchalant attitude towards the law corrupted the seemingly incorruptible Benji last year. Benji took bribes, many from minors, in the form of video games. What did Benji do in return? Grant these members Gold Member, and objectively worthless forums upgrade which comes at no cost or difficulty to him.

Benji, pictured with a prostitute in England's Red District. This prostitute was purchased by 12-year-old forum member ketchup.
What does all of this mean to you, the forumer? Quite simply, posting on Facepunch or buying Garry's Mod is tantamount to exploiting child labor, ignoring the plight of the worker, and using community status in return for
cash bribes. You are a terrible person for posting here insofar as your parents are terrible people for having you or for using blood diamonds to signify their shallow, loveless relationship. Your posting here directly affects the lives of millions, and not because your posts are bad (they are). This is Deeper Than Posting.
How can you atone for your sins? Quite simply, all you need to do is stop posting here forever. I left for months and came here solely to post these shocking revelations. I plan to leave again, for I am not a monster incapable of compassion for the common man. I write these internet words not to incite revolution but to incite thought; too many of you have been too complacent for too long. In reality, you are all complicit in crimes against humanity.

Thanks for reading my Facepunch magnum opus! Hopefully the words I wrote convince you to reconsider your position here. You know the consequences of continuing to post. Whether or not you decide to stop is up to you. Knowledge is power.

Fight The Power. RIP Radio Raheem.
What the flying fuck.
Took long enough to ban that spoon.
Hell. Things like this make me wish I lived in England and not America.
This country is so damn big! From Cornhill-on-Tweed to Eastborn it only takes 7 hours driving. Pretty much from the border of Scotland to almost southernmost England. That's less time than it takes to drive from where I live to where my girlfriend lives :argh:
I might be coming to next year's since I'll be vacationing in England for a week or two on my semester break. I wonder if it'll be awkward being the only American there. :v:
I can just picture a 13 year old arriving and having to sleep in a tent with hezzy.
[QUOTE=Bredirish123;23978341] I wonder if it'll be awkward being the only American there. :v:[/QUOTE]
Nah, it really wouldn't.
As soon as we have confirmed dates will book the time off work, no way 'm letting them fuck me over again, will get the time off, or simply won't turn up for work.

[QUOTE=joe588;23984996]sit shivering until your parents pick you up[/QUOTE]

Sweet, I've been putting some money aside for tickets, I've already go my passport in May, now I just need dates and plane tickets. I'll probably buy one of those Oyster Cards I always hear about to make it easier to get back to Heathrow airport easy without much delay. I'll bel ooking forward to this, that's for sure.
I suppose for people booking flights, it would be best if we nailed down a date earlier rather than later? Could we do so now and then it's sorted?

oyster cards you can only use on the underground, which is very little use to you if you're travelling to heathrow down from the lake district ;)

Old Scottish people do this.

And busses and the DLR. :smug:
I say pick a date in the late summer/early fall. That way us Americans know how much time we have to save for the trip.
So we agreed that it should be mid - late July again, right?

[QUOTE=cosmic duck;23986637]And busses and the DLR. :smug:[/QUOTE]
still no use outside of london ;)

[QUOTE=LordLoss;23986761]So we agreed that it should be mid - late July again, right?[/QUOTE]
to the best of my knowledge, yes. makes it easier for everyone if we don't have to worry about schools/unis going back etc.
[editline]04:09PM[/editline]
[QUOTE=LordLoss;23986761]:frog:[/QUOTE]
i know man... i know
Make a date now and I might be able to go!
Nothing after mid-august for me.
let's say the 25th - 30th july?
Sounds good to me. Mon-Sat gives us an extra day to do stuff =]
He can use the oyster card to get from London Heathrow to London Euston and vice-versa. Apart from that, he'll need a train ticket to get from Euston to Windermere.
[editline]04:18PM[/editline]
also 25th to 30th sounds good to me
