Back around the middle-to-late 10's (up to '17) I was part of a small community centered around the game Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion (or Spooky's House of Jumpscares, as it was known back then). They were pretty cool guys, I still keep in touch with them. Anyway:

There was this one time when one of the guys on there claimed that he came in contact with a scary hax0r from 4chan, who allegedly sent him CP. The guy claimed that his browser closed by itself, and the hacker even apparently took over his computer to send a few messages in the chat.

I don't know if this will ring a bell for anyone but way back (like 2006 or 07) I remember a long forum thread making the rounds on various internet communities.

I think this was on a bodybuilding forum (possibly bodybuilding.com). Some Jersey guido posted a picture of him and some buddies in a club complete with fake tan, fish lips, spiked hair and kangol headband and inadvertently unleashed absolute hell. He was subject to some of the most savage flaming I have ever seen with memes, photoshops and pasta being unleashed in epic proportions. It escalated so quickly that links to the thread were being shared on other forums. I remember lurking the thread and it was well into the hundreds of pages, possibly thousands by the end. OP posting in the thread trying to own the haters really didn't help and I remember seeing memes of the picture popping up in other places around that time. An early example of someone getting so savagely owned they became a meme.

Memory of it is a bit sketchy but I swear this was real and I didn't make it up in my head.
