Members such as Tweaker, DRX, Wetflame and others all were members of Sonic Cult at a time when it was known for doxing, hacking and harrassing other Sonic fansites and members.

>at a time when it was known for doxing, hacking and harrassing other Sonic fansites and members.
Wait, what??? More on this please!

 

[GrammarJew]

Gigglyman is probably the most lolcow-worthy person and was given a brief mention well, folks. without further ado, I present to you Gigglyman. a self-proclaimed bisexual who loves futa porn and looks like some fucking incel neckbeard. back in 2021, it looks like he fucking lost his mind due to horny. for the love of god, dont look at his twitter likes, it's full of futa and inflation porn.

he also was so dumb that he doxed himself.

So this is pretty ancent history in terms of internet and I'm not sure how much "proof" still exists. But Sonic Cult in it's heyday was considered like the Kiwi Farms/4Chan ect of the fandom. It generally took a low view of the rest of the fandom despite themselves mostly being (jaded) Sonic fans. Basically spurged about how they were too mature for "X the hedgehog" OC's and writing fanfiction while obsessing over game content and questionable Hentai. Users like Wetflame and Tristan of TSSZ were kept around as useful clowns. I recall Cult/Retro actually had fundraisers where banning those perticular users was a dontation prize.

Pachuka ran DOS attacks on several prominent Sonic Fan Sites and tended to be a pest to the greater fandom. Sadly I can't find references to sites that got attacked outside Area 51 Forums and SSRG but I'm sure more websites and webmasters of the time had run ins with him. Mind this was at a time when really a DOS and maybe messing with the member forums was the worst you could do. I recall Cult and Sonic Classic communties having beef with each other (But Classic was infamous for having a community constantly fighting with itself till most members moved to Sonic Retro)

What I can find is this page from the guy who used to run SSRG - which was a site where a fair number of the devs who would eventually work on Sonic Mania started. SSRG was like the big Sonic Research hub for fans who wanted to really break down and understand the games. Mind this is 2005 slap fighting - Andy was known for being a glory hog and the people wanting to still work on figuring out how Blue Hedgehog go zoom needed somewhere new to go, so many "Sonic Hacking Community Members" ended up at Cult as a result which seemed to mellow the community out a bit. Pachuka being arrested also helped with that.

Cult's later years would have them leak early announcement of Cream the Rabbit, DHX beginning to provide the Cult with protos (notably a bunch of Knuckles Chaotix protos charting a fair amount of the games development phases) that they documented as well. They basically went straight in the later years, but never really shook off the bad image it had with the community.

Edit: I'm reading the page RisingPhoenix posted earlier (which, I still have the original link to in my bookmarks btw), and man, those last two links under "Message Board Hate Thread"... Basically, I think he's accusing Archaic Ruins of plagiarizing his own documentation on S3&K hacking, but seeing the name Damaged Cybernetics at the bottom of the page... fuck those motherfuckers. Does anyone else remember the Nesticle drama where DC hacked Sardu's SMB and leaked the source files? Seems retarded as fuck since nearly all emulators are open source now but even then the implications of doing something like that were pretty clear. So of course, Sardu stopped development.

 

[ThatOneAsshole]

Andy Wolan / Andrew Wolan / NO CARRIER / Bleedyass​

Andy "Bleedyass" Wolan is a rapidly balding middle aged Sonic the Hedgehog fan.​

Creating an Emulation website as a teenager in the late 1990's, Andy has never grown past it. Andy Wolan still runs the trash website "Emulation Zone" well over 25 years later. Part of the website, SSRG (Short for Super Shitty Retarded & Gay) is devoted to Sonic the Hedgehog. However he ragequit and killed the site in the 2000's due to trolling. However, mirrors still exist. He has multiple trash sub-projects that are linked and hosted by himself. Emulation Zone was/is an unpopular, ass-ugly site and has never been taken seriously. Website as it appears today - Website as it appeared in 1998 (Archive)

Site in 2022

Site as it appeared in 1998. Not much change.
​

How can you go 25+ years and never pass Geocities level HTML design? It looks like an early era Myspace page. Another example is the Zone Radio Network (Another website developed by Andy Wolan devoted to early audio podcasts about Sonic the Hedgehog, showing Andy Wolan's child-like web design.)(Archive)

​

Andy Wolan's only claim to fame is figuring out how to link two files in a DOS prompt. (Something everyone knew how to do in the 1990's, as it was used to connect split files from small file size disks.) Simply type at the dos prompt: COPY /B S&K.BIN + SONIC3.BIN SONIC4.BIN. His authorship of this method has been questioned, some early EFNET emulation IRC channels crediting the discovery to "Damaged Cybernetics", a website from the middle 1990's. People have trolled Andy Wolan for years claiming that he did not create this method, (satirically) however Andy Wolan takes it dead serious. Evidence of Andy Wolan's "creation" can be found in an archive of a late 1990's emulation site "Archaic Ruins" (Archive) dated 1998.

​

This combination creates the game Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles. However features were broken and non-functional, something Andy Wolan was far too stupid to fix. It would be fixed YEARS later by a Sonic the Hedgehog hacker that wasn't a total retard.

Middle Aged Sonic Fan​

Andy Wolan is still obsessed with Sonic the Hedgehog in his 40's. His fucking 40's. The man is middle aged and is still obsessed with a blue rodent game series that died in the early 2000's. He's like Chrischan in that regard. His opinion on Sonic the Hedgehog's blue arms remains unknown. The man is so obsessed that he does LECTURES on it. SSRG Talk at Retro World Expo Nov 8, 2021 (Archive) (Another Archive)
The attendance reached at least thirteen people:

​

He did so wearing... cat ears. Like a tranny Twitch streamer.

​

His arrogance is so massive, that he believes people are linging up to hear his hot takes on Sonic the Hedgehog. However according to his Facebook no one he knows even cared. Andy Wolan echos on his facebook into the nothingness before the lecture and no one replied. You can imagine him sitting there waiting for a Facebook alert that never came...

Even after the lecture no one cared...

He post after the lecture used the term "w00t", a term no one has used in 15 years.

Chugga chugga, chugga chugga, wooo wooooooo! Here come's the faggot train!​

Personal Life​

If you check his LinkedIn it appears he has done a considerable amount of coding for large, important projects. His resume is packed with a great education, lots of experience, and likely great money. Which makes his Sonic the Hedgehog obsession even fucking weirder.

From zoominfo:

"Andy Wolan works as a Host at Sonic HQ, which is a Broadcasting company. They used to work at Digital Marketing." then followed by "Sonic HQ is a fan run information, news, and reviews site specializing in Sonic Team games and related products and are not related to any of these companies. This website uses modified SVG icons from FontAwesome."

The unusual part of this scenario is that Sonic the Hedgehog games are coded so poorly, it's like it was done by apes. With pens in their asses. Slapping them on the keyboard. It's unknown how Andy Wolan handles these garbage games as a big time coder man, but it's likely due to the crossover between Sonic the Hedgehog fans and cosplay. Because he LOVES cosplay which can be seen by his Facebook Friends list.

Andy Wolan would eventually be seen in photos for the first time in his life with a woman on his Facebook.
Her name appears to be Suji, which when translated from brown person to English means "mail order bride". Using his great coder money, he flew her to American to play with her lady penis.

He unfortunately had to buy an extra ticked for her massive fucking nose.

Look at the god damn thing. It looks like one of those large nosed novelty masks with the eyebrows and glasses. Her nose is so big when she exhales all dirt withing five feet blows into the wind. Hopefully she doesn't do cocaine because no one else will get any.

Andy Wolan already nose, er, knows that the only woman he can get is by being a race traitor.​

Andy Wolan's failures at running Sonic the Hedgehog websites​

Andy Wolan's deeply homosexual Sonic the Hedgehog fanhood caused him to create the website SSRG. (Sonic's Stupid Rancid Garbage) SSRG was his attempt to be the go-to place for Sonic the Hedgehog ROM hacks. It had his usual Geocities like web design: SSRG (Archive)(Original site dead due to ragequit)

Something that would be filled by a set Sonic the Hedgehog hacking guides. created by a user called Saxman. (Archive)

Andy Wolan would attempt to absorb this website into his, like he did with many other sites. However it broke away from the SSRG and eventually had the domain shacnet.com (Archive, original site is dead) which flattened the SSRG's guides. Andy would not remove the guides even after the author (Saxman) requested it.

​

The domain was purchased and hosted by Sonic Cult, pissing Andy off. (Archive)

​

Andy Wolan was sure he could outdo the website Sonic Cult, run by webmaster pervert Pachuka, who made zero effort while Andy Wolan struggled. Known for throwing tantrums directed at Sonic Cult, Andy Wolan became a target for internet bullying by Sonic Cult and it's satellite communities. This would go on for years, causing Andy Wolan great distress and many sleepless nights.

Sonic Cult obsession​

Pachuka, and by proxy Sonic Cult would become Andy Wolan's obsession. He would work on the SSRG for a small moment in time in the year 2000. (Yes, his problems with Pachuka started 22 years ago.) Someone used the news script to post something gay and Andy Wolan blamed Pachuka because both he and this unknown individual both used the now defunct internet service provider America Online. Andy Wolan was wrong about this but never apologized or undid his banning. This caused Sonic Cult to absorb everything on the SSRG, making Andy Wolan big mad and big sad. His desire to outdo Sonic Cult caused him to try to absorb as many Sonic the Hedgehog related sites as possible so he didn't have to do any work, or HTML, or any hacking. All things Andy Wolan lacked the talent to do. Actually he REALLY sucked at HTML. Example: Lock-On Technology Hacking Guide. (Archive)

Every website he touched tanked horribly while Sonic Cult grew. The more Sonic Cult grew, the angrier Andy Wolan became. Sonic Cult lived rent free in Andy Wolan's head to the point that it became sexual. He would even write absurd long, long rants on his website, much to the delight of those who viewed him as a Pachuka obsessed clown. He legitimately made an entire website devoted to his beef with Pachuka. (Mirror)(Archive) Example of insane, absurd rants written: Example 1: Four pages! (Mirror) Example 2: Ten. Fucking. Pages. Jesus Christ. (Mirror) He was also very good at editing Pachuka's wiki article. (Archive)

He was seen as late as 15 years later trying to prevent people from visiting the dead Sonic Cult.

Sonic Cult has lived rent free in Andy Wolan's head for a decade and a half at this point. Sonic Cult had been dead for years. Sonic Retro Forum post. (Archive) His entire user-page predictably is full of Sonic Cult and Pachuka edits. (Archive) Pachuka's user-page. (Archive)

The Anal Bleeding Incident, and the Hilarious Outcome​

Andy Wolan would go on to threaten Pachuka with legal action if he didn't stop cyber-bullying him. He claimed that the cyber-bullying was causing him health issues. This is not a joke. Andy Wolan's claim was the bullying caused him to bleed rectally. He typed this. On a forum. Where people could read it. He claimed he wanted to sue Pachuka for rectal damages. This caused Sonic Cult great joy, dubbing Andy Wolan as "Bleedyass" forever. No one referenced Andy Wolan as "NO CARRIER" anymore, just Bleedyass. Andy Wolan would ban anyone who called him Bleedyass, but it spread like wildfire. The more he fought it, the more of a Streisand effect it had. He was quite literally buttsore. Legend has it his anus is still bleeding until this day.
From the shithole known as Reddit: (Archive)

"I had no clue what the fuck was going on through the whole CulT drama/Wolan anal bleeding stuff and was just wondering why my favorite sites were constantly down"

also another user said:

"Ahaha. Oh god, I never thought I'd hear the andy wolan bleeding ass thing again... That really brings me back." ​

Tweaker took a break from fucking his sister and joined in: "<Tweaker> I bleed out my ass, but not as much as Andy Wolan!" (Archive)

From Encyclopedia Dramatica: (Referencing Pachuka)

he was notorious for trolling the fuck out of the owners of other Sonic sites, most notably Andy Wolan, who at one point actually threatened to sue Pachuka for causing him so much stress that he started bleeding out of his anus." (Mirror)​

Then Tweaker owns him. Tweaker. Fucking Tweaker.

"If you can find a better description for claiming that your ass was bleeding, go for it. Don't expect to escape the infamous "bleedyass" term, though, if that's one of your goals." (Archive)

A video titled "My Anus is Bleeding" was spread around to mock him:

People still remember this, as there was someone who made the comment "Andy Wolan" on "my anus is bleeding" just 4 years ago in 2018.

Andy Wolan's Sonic Retro wiki editing​

Andy Wolan loves to write about himself and his failed projects. Checking nearly every entry of him or any of his websites has edited by a person named "ss is testing" (This is his alt) and his main handle "No carrier". "Ss is testing" has a MASSIVE amount of entries on Andy Wolan, Emulation Zone, SSRG, and others. (Archive)

Then under his other internet handle "NO CARRIER" he edited, you guessed it, the entries for Pachuka and Sonic Cult. Nearly to exclusively. (Archive) Also User:NO_CARRIER. (Archive)

He also threatened to stop editing Sonic Retro's wiki if they didn't "tone down" the description of his health problems. (He wanted them to remove the anal bleeding part)(Archive) "

But if you insist on not toning down the description of my health problems, then you might as well delete my account for I will not bother contributing to your wiki anymore."

Translation: "I'm a faggot and I'm taking my ball and going home!"

​

Under the name "ss is testing" Andy Wolan edited his personal user page and the various entries for his websites. He constantly tried to remove the bleeding ass entries under this alt. This caused an edit war that lasted about two hours before they protected the article, complete with the bloody anus entry. (This would be changed further down the road) He would be owned from the talk page, once again Tweaker. Andy Wolan gets owned by Tweaker a second time. That's sad as a MF. Andy Wolan's alternate identity as "ss is testing" would be confirmed in an edit by Sonic Retro tech member "Aurochs". Ss is testing would also be caught trying to remove the bleedyass mentions on his wiki entry. Aurochs would then lock the article with the bleedyass entry. Aurochs would call Andy Wolan out on his alt saying:

"it was a very odd thing for you to say, andy. also, stuff about the ssrg should be put in SSRG."

Ss is testing/Andy Wolan does not deny it:

Softball​

Andy Wolan was last seen playing softball with other middle aged 3RD graders. For those not American, softball is a gayer version of our gayest sport, baseball. It's doubly gay. It's usually played by women. He's on a team with other middle aged dorks, trying to relive elementary school. Here you can see his brown sex-trafficked woman holding his balls:

Sadly she won't handle his grape-sized crotch nuggets. His team used to play kickball, but they decided they needed something more faggoty. Their softball season ended sadly when they lost their ball over a fence where there was a large dog.

Much like children they get dessert after a game. Here we see Andy Wolan singing about dessert:

Final Thoughts​

Andy Wolan was quite possibly the most embarrassing person in all of the Sonic the Hedgehog game fandom. He has zero credibility still to this day, and is commonly referred as "who?" His brown, big nosed lady friend won't fuck him, so he has a full sized Pachuka body pillow he has rough sex with. Other than his work and maybe his gayball team no one knows who he is or what he has created as a website maintainer. Other than trying to take credit for other people's work:

"At a few past gaming expos, I spoke to folks about my past life with on SSRG, its influence in the early days of the internet, and even its ties to Sonic Mania... ... key people that went on to create Sonic Mania, and any interesting tidbits I can bring forward." (Archive)

Andy will live in infamy as the loser with a bleeding ass.

Argh i wish i had spent more time making that, i archived the absolutely most important stuff you'd want to know, but of course being an unrepentant pedophile Pachuka aka Phugolz aka RealaNightmaren aka UnknownArchive aka 3E then immediately proceeded to Delete Fucking Everything. Obviously writing all that didn't help, but in my defense i wrote it under the assumption that he had a google alert set up for his name/any of his aliases, so i rushed it more than i should've. Also most of his socials were already dead when i was writing it up.

Still, that doesn't change the fact that i fucked up, and i apologize. All i can do now is pick the pieces up, he's paranoid, but not thorough. See, i left a few details out of the last post, in case something like this might happen. The thing is; PACHUKA never actually LEFT Sonic-Cult/X-Cult, he just rebranded into the alias PHUGOLZ. He has quite the internet history of rebranding for reasons i'm sure you can imagine. As you can imagine they probably didn't kick him out of Hidden Palace, either, at least not at first.

He also had a discord who's link was expired before the post went live.

I have a couple questions, you said multiple kids he fucked. Do you have any sources or anything to back this up?
I know a few people that know him and i want to make it irontight, he is claiming all he did was "grab a titty at a party"

 

[NoonmanR]

First off: lol

Can't archive it on my end because the content warning breaks my ripper.

Second that's something i need to look into more thoroughly tbh. It's mentioned in multiple news articles about the subject that he has a previous 2001 conviction for "unlawful intercourse with a minor", and it appears the source of that claim is the county prosecutor that was trying him:

Mr. Gray's charges include sexual battery and two counts of oral copulation. The county prosecutor also alleges that Mr. Gray has a 2001 conviction of unlawful intercourse with a minor.

To put this into perspective, this article is from 2004, about an offense that happened Dec 21st 2004, so there appears to be another kid he diddled. The only thing is i can't seem to find this conviction. It's not on his sex offender registry.

Spoiler: large ass image

It could just be because it happened in FL, some kind bureaucratic loophole/error, if it's been sealed/removed somehow or what. Probably just not looking in the right areas tbh.

Also here is the neogaf article talking about him for shits and giggles: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/top-...with-sexually-assaulting-a-15-year-old.30661/

and the dox i didn't really bother with last time.

Fucking Brahmin, i wish i knew more about the guy. I hear all kinds of shady shit about him, but then he always seems to come by(even in servers that require forum registration, he's allowed to bypass all the rigmarole) and shut the conversation down before anything damning surfaces. Very suspicious person, but i just don't know much about them.

Anyways, now that all the kerfuffle regarding kerfeffals has settled down i better, uh, write something up, i guess. Let us start with a little warm up...

Kingdom Hearts:
During the summer a fundraiser came up on twitter for a prototype of Kingdom Hearts. The seller of the two discs wanted a cool grand for them. The kicker though is the seller had been posting about it in TCRF, and made it clear that it was absolutely not worth that kind of money:


Unreleased GBA Games
Kuriatsu currently appears to be hoarding a pair of unreleased GBA games, vaguely tied to the Shin Megami Tensei series. One without a name, and another named Project Alpha, the reasoning given was copyright, though why that would be a problem with random unreleased games is anyone's guess.

Like some of the others here, Kuriatsu was once again suicidepilled by the anime Ranma 1/2, showing once again the dangers of letting your autistic kids watch anime:


An avid consooomer of JRPGs, to the point where characters from them appear to him in his schizo brain to name him personally:


>She's also tried their hand at politicks on VideoGameSage, the reincarnation to NintendoAge. Their contribution to this was [opinion], followed by "How dare you act contrary to MY opinion, i'll have you know that is bigotry and not acceptable! I'm gonna shut down now."



That's it for now, here's a bit of what i mean...

Fuck this faggot I'd want to see that.

Slowly procrastinating my way through another post, in the mean time i'm going to ramble on about prototypes and the weird people behind em.

Akira(Game Boy)

Some neckbeard happened to find multiple copies of this unreleased game along with a slew of other prototypes. He was apparently pestered about release, and rather than ignore it, give any kind of explanation or just act like an rational adult about it, he decided it was time to hit the nuclear option.

FYI - I am no longer in possession of these or anything related to them. This is due to harassment and threats by others, sparked by a false narrative put out there by people I feel were upset that I opted to move forward with plans for them that did not include them. I will not share information about the current owner and do not know where they are with their current plans. Honestly, after the way the "community" treated me over these, I am not interested anymore in even knowing what their plans are or anything else about them... and I don't want to put the current owner in a situation where they can be harassed and threatened as I was. Video game preservation is a welcome and overdue thing, but those interested in it have to reconsider how they treat others who find or obtain items of interest. Don't let your passion turn you so nasty and demanding. It's not helpful to your cause.

It's honestly not a big loss at all, especially if you take a look at the other akira game the developer of this made. Still, fuck them for doing that.

Superman PS1
But that is far from the only time that happened, oh no. A fairly advanced copy of the game was shown off on Assembler Games, another site that is, or rather was, instrumental in the archiving community. He demanded money for a release of the game, which people took issue with. In response, he destroyed the disc. Eventually, he came forward with a copy of the ISO on his DeviantArt(Archive)

The DEAMONS
Mutant Speed Demons was a Sega Genesis game by EA games, we don't really know much about it sadly because it also happened to be one of the few prototypes to feature a suicide battery, the whole fucking thing was powered by 2 AA batteries, and when they went, the rom went with them. Thanks, EA!

How an unreleased game for an unreleased console almost got hoarded

IMSA racing was a game for the 3D0 M2, a console that was so close to release that there's actually a small handful of working machines out in the wild somewhere. This game was given to a certain individual along with some tech demo and specific instructions to release it to the public by a developer of the game. The tech demo was release, but when it came time for IMSA the guy swore up and down that the developer told them to preserve it from the filthy peasants of the internet. Didn't take long for that to be debunked, but no matter what the guy wouldn't release the game. If it wasn't for the developer releasing an rom he had backed up himself we may very well have lost this game forever.

Lufia the Fortress of Doom
The Sega Genesis port was teased for years, but never happened because the Japs tried to outsource the game to some yahoos in the west and gave them nothing for support. According to a developer of the game on a long defunct forum, even though they weren't fit for the job, they still took Taito for a ride, continually pushing the game back while making little to no progress at all on it, and gullible taito believed they were going to hammer it out eventually. There does appear to be a slightly more complete prototype out there compared to the one we have, but not by much. It doesn't seem like they ever got much more than maps and some sprites done.(30:11)

THE JAPANESE NATIONAL TREASURE
It cannot be stressed how adversarial the Japanese are to the concept of game preservation. From companies like sega that would set the source code on fire after a successful project(or just not create proper back ups in the case of Magic Knight Rayearth) to Nintendo hiring secret agents to track and deal with homebrew developers, getting them to flip on others for free prototype hardware, hell, even the average Japanese gets in on the action.

Indy the Magical Kid was an unreleased NES RPG that was put for auction a few years back. The person who won it paid thousands specifically so the gaijin couldn't get their hands on a copy of the game.

Cocoron for the PC Engine appears to be just a port of the NES version. It seems to be beatable, and whoever owns the prototype has already backed up the game(this is why we have such clear screenshots, they were taken with Magic Engine.) but refuses to release it, politely shooting down anyone who asks.

Fun fact though: Originally TCRF and company tried pushing the idea that the Pokemon Spaceworld demo was taken from a Japanese junk shop owner who had recently died.

Sanic X-treme
Sonic xtreme is an odd thing, being a sonic prototype. There's some stuff that's not being released at the behest of the zbrush creator who made the engine(mainly source code stuff), but more interesting is the prototype of the Christina Coffin version of the game. Sonic Retro has screenshots of a much later prototype of the game than anything we got, and appear to be taken from an emulator.
