Just popping to in to ask, have you guys ever though about not doxxing?
Click to expand...

Has SomethingAwful ever thought about deleting every single thread in which someone was ever doxed now that SA "doesn't do that any more"?

You know as well as I do that many "classic" SA threads involved doxing. If SA is above all that now and considers doxing wrong, then delete them. Don't be hypocritical and continue to use them as a drawcard while proclaiming that you're above that now (which isn't true anyway).

did lowtax post an image hosted on his server so he can track ip address and shadow permaban people?

He did something really weird and we still don't really know why. When he first showed up he was asked to verify himself he took a screencap of me dumpstering on him and hosted it on the somethingawful domain and hotlinked it here. He claims this was his method of verifying himself (all we wanted was for him to say 'hi' on twitter or something) We don't allow hotlinks for security and posterity reasons so our proxy picked it up, copied it and rehosted the copied version here so it's likely nobody would have noticed anything was wrong except that he posted a screencap of my words instead of clicking the quote button. A terrifyingly autistic doxer thought that was kind of weird and checked the element and found the original link to something awful domain, which by that time had mysteriously become a google maps picture of lowtax's own ip geolocation. Fucking around with it behind multiple proxies did not update it so if it was an ip grabber it was somehow broken in a way that it only grabbed the first ip to view it, which was of course, Lowtax's.

Trying to ip grab everyone in the thread is the only conclusion we can really think of and it still requires that he be completely technically incompetent and also really really mindbogglingly stupid to have attempted it.

don't suggest that, I've got over half a dozen goldmined threads doxing goons in helldump and gbs

you know, back in the days where doxing goons was not a permabannable offense but one that got you praises and for those threads to be enshrined as the best of the best of what SA had to offer
 
Just gonna go ahead and bring some brutal honesty here guys, this may hurt but you need to hear it. Think of me as your cool older brother whose been off to collage and comes back home and is all world wise and now I'm sitting you down for a good talking to.

So, maybe I'm getting old, but I just don't get this doxxing stuff. It's like hearing a joke and not getting the punchline. It just all seems so...and here is the potentially hurtful part so buckle up.... Pathetic.

Don't get me wrong, I love me some making fun of weirdos, but I just don't see how knowing their address adds to the comedy.

Now over at the other website I'm known as a master parodyist, so here comes a little parody section th at might help you see my point of view:

"oh haw haw yeah we got em. We got em good this time! Haha you ready for this? Here is a picture! Of a person!! Haha total brutal ownage. And just wait it gets even better because we have his.... Address! Get this, he lives on 452 flower lane, Akron Ohio. AKRON! HAHA what a clown. Good grief we have pulled a master class troll on this one. "

OK so basically what I'm saying is that you guys are making a mistake. You think you're being funny, but you're not. I think it's time to change comedy styles maybe? Put those doxxes back on the shelf and maybe work on satire songs? Photos hops? I don't know where each of your talent lies but I know that you're all special in your own way.

So thanks for listening, big brother out!

The reason it's funny is because it makes them freak out. What part of "we enjoy watching people on the internet freak out" is hard for you to understand? If you feel like your advanced age makes it so that you can't get enjoyment out of watching people freak out on the internet, perhaps go post in the forums on AARP about how much Metamucil it takes to get a full diaper so you can use said full diaper to convince the kids at Something Awful that you're still with it.

The funniest thing to come out of the doxxing so far is that leftistmuslimobama is a schlubby white guy, despite having 100+ posts in negrotown about how terrible white people are and how his ancestors had to deal with "No Coloreds" signs.

Oh, while looking through their posts again also they are apparently native american too.

And a boxer / MMA fighter

This shit would get an awful link of the day in the past but nope

this african american - native american special flower needs administrator support and protection to detail ~~Their Struggle~~ and you better not even think about doing anything this strong independent black woman wouldn't like.

"'I PM'd FactsAreUseless because while I'm glad to take one on the chin if I make a shitty post, I feel like this one is just straight up harassing me based on my actual heritage and I'm feeling more and more upset about it as I sit here. Like some faceless, outside-the-thread racist, is calling me an Uncle Tom because I'm not the right kind of mixed-race for them I guess? Sorry my dad was pale and that passed on to me?""

Nigga i think pale is a little generous and you do not qualify for being an uncle tom.

"Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails is on repeat in @Lowtax's head.

I think he died inside from feeling so smart about charging $10 an account and making decent money then seeing that Drew Curtis was charging $5 a month and became a millionaire while doing even less than him to keep his site running

That was the final nine inch nail

It's OK if you don't get it. Most of us don't get FYAD or what's hilarious about image spamming threads until they get closed, but the internet's a big place and everyone can find a place which caters to their own personal style of humour.
