There's [B]a ton[/B] of GamerGate news reports lately. Almost half of them are about the Wikipedia arbitration (mostly verbatim copies of the Guardian hit piece), but there's even more about the petition to get Baldwin uninvited from that one convention. People pretty universally seem to think it would be incredibly shitty to ban him, even if they buy into the "GamerGate = Harassment" story. Here's a counter-petition btw: [url]https://www.communityrun.org/petitions/don-t-revoke-adam-baldwin-s-invite-to-the-supanova-pop-culture-expo[/url] (I don't care if you use your real name, but if you sign it please at least use something that appears to be one. The site truncates the last name to its initial afaict.)

Something Awful has always been a descriptive name.
[QUOTE=DarkMonkey;47005792]Something Awful has always been a descriptive name.[/QUOTE] I didnt know the extent now i feel ill.
Helldump was originally meant to out bad posters. Most of the outings were because these people were dumb enough to do things like share account names between furry porn sites and SA. It was actually pretty funny seeing all of the weird shit people were up to, especially when they tried to defend it. However, it started getting to the point where there was a litlte clique that seemed hell-bent on being as vicious as possible and they started running Helldump. It went from laughing at bad posters to actively trying to ruin people's lives. It was becoming obvious that Helldump was becoming a serious legal liability, so Lowtax shut it down. I don't remember much of Helldump's decline, but apparently the extremist SJ-types that ruined a political circlejerk forum started using Helldump as a weapon to out people for wrongthink. Considering the state SA was in at the time, I think that's believable. Ironically, one of the ringleaders of the clique that "ruined" Helldump is now a Gawker writer named Jeb Lund. He went by "Boniface" during his rampage and was a vicious SOB.

If you post these things it would be good if you posted where you found the files/links though. I know chan threads 404 quickly but they are often archived etc.

It's so weird seeing the judges for Gamer on the list of nominees.

Informative though im not fond of digging up past postings or sayings older than a year or two but if they still carry on the same vicious life ruining behavior fuck em,fuck em all.[/QUOTE] I think what's telling is that Zoe still seems to be somewhat fond of every period in Helldump. The early days were fun because seeing some creepy dude that spent a wee bit too much time posting in threads like magical girl anime threads being outed as someone that actively draws inflation porn of 80s cartoon characters was funny. The later part where it was things like doing internet detective work, which was initiated because of something petty, and finding out that a relativly normal poster was actually a virgin in his 20s and lied about having a girlfriend on another site, then dogpiling him over it, was mean, unfun, and put me off.

[QUOTE=Xubs;47006660]seems kinda bunk, I only see like 6 nominations for her and 1000 for TB I don't even get how the system works unless it culled all the nominations for Wu before she became a finalist. weird[/QUOTE] Basically the entire thing is a giant farce The judges choose the first 4 finalists One finalist is chosen by the judges among the 25 highest by popular vote One finalist is the highest by popular vote The same judges choose the winner among the finalists. It doesnt take a genious to realize why Wu has a chance to win despite barely anyone voting for her
[QUOTE=Xubs;47006786]eh whatever, I've never heard of Shorty Awards before Gamergate but I highly doubt it's an incredibly prestigious title to win 'best gamer in social media'. One that will completely legitimize Wu in the eyes of the mass public.[/QUOTE] It's a bit useless but not exactly unheard of. They aren't total unknowns here in SH.
