[X-Post] Closure of the CWCki Forum's Private Discussion Board

[Marvin]

So the information was true, but the people who delivered it to Chris were trolls posing as galpals?
And further on: does it really matter? Releasing (or fabricating) such information and sending it to Chris seems pointlessly cruel.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to attack anyone, I guess I'll just have to wait till january to understand what was going on and what the motivation behind it all was...

Oh, Chris has probably gotten the news through legitimate channels. People just took advantage of that news and bullshitted conversations with Chris.

Yeah, but we've reached a point where I wonder how we have gotten such information in the first place.

In 2013, it probably wouldn't have gotten out. But in 2014, Chris leaks like a sieve. (Please no poop jokes. )

 

[Ian Brandon Something]

Full disclosure: I actually went to Branchland Court at night and pretended to be Chris's house. It was all fake though and I burned down but he believed it was real and lost a ton of money because of it. I was supposed to wait until January to tell you guys this but cbf, trolling mission complete

I don't buy that story for one second.
We all know every troll trying to step on the Chandler Property is going to be attacked by the ghosts of an 8 year old autist and a dog.

 

[Poor Choices]

As Ralph Wiggum once said, he's still funny, but not "ha ha" funny. It's like watching a human being mentally decaying before my eyes. His whole life is a tragedy. Best we keep to discussing the train wreck that is Chris rather than continuing to insinuate ourselves into his daily life. By that I mean both no active trolling and no active white knighting. Stop buying his crap, too. All you're doing is buying him more rope to hang himself with. If Chris is going to have any chance in life, it's going to come from him having nowhere else to turn and making some lasting changes. And the people who have been paying his bills for him are basically keeping him as a pet. It's hurting him so much more in the long run than it is helping him in the short term.

TL;DR, this crap's gotten old.

Wow a post where you didn't refer to Chris as "Fatty" or display a level of passive aggressiveness like he ran over your dog. You're the last person I expected to be OK with stopping antagonizing Chris. Times are a changin'.

So folk used it as a framework, picked it up, then ran with it?

I always assumed mods were just in contact with trolls, not that they were trolls themselves. I feel EMOTIONALLY Hurt and Betrayed.

No, that's how it was. Nobody with a colored name or myself really did anything other than chime in.

 

[drmccoy]

I support the passive viewing of Chris: he's plenty entertaining on his own.

Does somebody need to create a fake gal-pal and fuck with him? No, not really. While trolling in the past has been great and the CWCiki should remain, I do agree with Null that fucking with the guy is just beating a dead horse that is.... broken. Like beating the Lions in a NFL game a few years back. No satisfaction, just a win.

I think we should maintain everything as is. Don't fuck with the guy anymore, especially with a a "gal-pal". He's broken. I sometimes believe that the forum is the only thing that actually gives a shit about him. So there's that. I don't particularly like Chris but I believe that the forum should at least monitor him (like the care package for the fire sense).

This is how I feel as well. Chris is interesting because of how much of his life has been made public knowledge. His is a window into the life of somebody on the fringes of society. I think documenting and discussing his observable activities is OK. A bit of external stimulus on his life to see how he would react is also not bad provided it doesn't sink to a malicious level. Without anybody acknowledging him Chris will sink into torpor and just rot away.

The "revelation" of an inner-circle still orchestrating trolling efforts was expected by many of us. The content of the leaks sounded very much like the result of a simple confidence scam being run on Chris. A harsh rejection of anybody except a few names messing with Chris made clear that there was a group behind the scenes and everybody else was meant only to be their audience.

 

[Overcast]

I definitely don't mind the idea of shifting this forum's focus a bit. Chris himself has seem to be dried up as of now. And now-a-days, I've mostly been coming here for both the other lolcows and the amazing community that posts here.

You guys are all awesome, and I don't wish for this forum to go away anytime soon!

 

[Gay Scientologist]

I have arrived exceptionally late to the Chris thing, and I'm still surprised that people are still trying to mess with him after 6 years.

Thing I'm most curious about is that secret forum and the infodump, both of which is interesting because I'm also interested in reading about the community that has formed around Chris. It's morbidly fascinating in a way.

 

[BOLDYSPICY!]

I feel simultaneously relieved & depressed. While I'm averse to the possibility of a name change & the deletion of any Chris boards, I do agree with Null's decision. Way to own up, man. That took chutzpah.

. . .but did anyone else initially think this was some sort of Guy Fawkes Day ?

 

[Danger]

I agree with Null's decision. Chris' latest stuff isn't that funny and we have no shortage of other spergs we can laugh at that troll themselves.

I'm not completely opposed to trolling and I don't imagine its going to stop, weens are gonna ween. I just feel like when we're digging through trash for discarded homework the glory days are pretty much over.

 

[Mitsunari]

I agree with what many people have said; we don't need to mess with Chris. Watching him is amusing on its own. We can comment on his activity like we'd comment on the activity of a person we used to know in real life, but there's no need to actively troll him anymore. That saga is over and done with.

That said, don't blame yourself, Null. You're doing the right thing.

 

[Optimus Prime]

While I came relatively late to the party, I have to admit I've been finding Chris to be less and less entertaining as aside from the last vetiges of him clinging onto Sonichu and friends, he's far from the autistic wonder boy from years ago and generally more of "crazy old man" material in every way except actual age. All he does these days is make comments on his facebook, go out to grab fast food and burn money he really needs for other things, rant about how eBay is responsible for his impulse buying, make arts and crafts to sell on eBay when he feels like it, and then post some uninformed, self-promoting comments on recent events.

Heck, his last video was literally him just apologizing. That old crappy yellow filter for once really illustrated the situation of good 'ol CWC: he's probably realized at long last that his ego was larger than life. In fact, this probably dates back to the house fire, with him trying to rebuild that fantasy in every way possible.

Shitloads of Lego to remake CWCville, complete with new self-minifigure and even the resurection of Simonla to "fix" the influence of the trolls? Check.

Re-engage the Love Quest? Check.

Make money from selling Sonichu branded drawings? Check.

But none of it appears to have really brought him the joy he had believed for almost 20 years would come from succeeding in those. As far as I can tell, the only thing he has for any kind of drive is his addiction to LEGO, which really is an addiction at this point because he'll just want more and more, thinking he'll satiate his need for plastic bricks with studs on them. And like actual drug addicts, more enabling will only worsen the need for more of it.

It's like watching a fully melted candle's tiny remaining portion of its wick slowly flicker before the end. Sad and kinda boring.

 

[Null]

That's a succinct way to describe how I felt. All the pieces were carefully laid in place to generate some sort of ambition that might have driven him to accomplish something like with Sonichu. But it didn't work. The energy required to move forward just wasn't there. He doesn't really care about anything anymore and nothing is going to change that.

 

[Marvin]

Oh man, you guys are gonna have egg on your faces when Chris changes his mind about tomgirlism and joins the hells angels...

This.

Although Chris cares about stuff, but it seems like that stuff is "where do I fit in in the world"? And that's hard for Chris to figure out.

Given some branches of the Hells Angels do community charity, from what I've heard, that may in fact be progress for Chris.
