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

[Termiborg]

Well, this is certainly new...and somewhat of a shock frankly. Though to be honest, I'm with Null on this one. There was a time when Chris was a true lolcow. Now, he is burnt out, and seemingly just wants to be left to his own devices. I guess we can still observe him, or interact with him to a limited extent, but trolling him seems to be pointless at this point. As for the content itself, I would suggest releasing it gradually through these last few weeks, maybe leaving a true bomb for last. But it's not up to me.

 

[Kosher Dill]

This exactly. The biggest non-shocker in Null's post is that Catherine is a troll. People really should know better by now but, then again, this board has quite a few.optimists.

Can you really blame the optimists for not believing that someone went and seduced Chris in-person, in exchange for minimal content and a lot of unnecessary anguish on his part? There's just no point to it. To me it seemed just as likely that he stumbled on someone bizarre enough to add him as a platonic side-dish to a pre-existing open relationship.

 

[Batman VS Tony Danza]

I was kind of hoping Chris would never find out Catherine was fake. I thought maybe they could "break up" and Chris could have one illusion of normalcy before he became nothing but the occasional facebook update again.

 

[Stud2Stud]

And to think Chris was so broken up about losing some of his facebook friends...

 

[Holdek]

You mean like what happened with Julay?

But on the other hand, Max was most hated even back then.

Well he survived shoving a medallion into his anus. In fact, he proudly pierce his taint.

 

[Sweet and Savoury]

For crist sake

Max was a kid who was trying too hard and went a bit to far trying to impress certain people. He was 13 years old and we all did dumb shit at that age trying to be part of the kool kids klub.

He isn't/wasn't the devil or hitter in disguise and I'm pretty sure he didn't think Fatty would actually shove the medallion up his own ass.

I agree. The open relationship part of it is what made me think there's a chance it could've been real. I actually know some of polyamorous people who actually kind of prey on people like Chris. If this were a monogamous relationship, though, it would be infinitely less believable.

 

[Holdek]

....it was just fucking with Chris for the sake of it.

Convincing a depressed exceptional individual who's world is basically falling apart around him that he has a girlfriend, just to use this fake relationship to emotionally abuse him fucking abhorrent.

They did it for content.

This. Nothing against polyamorism in general, but I have a poly friend that seem to "collect" people with weird sexual hangups. Almost like fucking someone unique will make them a special snowflake by proxy.
That's what made me think Catherine might be real, but it's definitely no shocker to hear that she isn't.

 

[Sussuro]

I'll speak from my vantage point as someone brand new to these forums.

As I have stated elsewhere, I'm not sure when I started following Chris. Either 2009 or 2010. As you can probably tell by this vague date, I have never been particularly active in my following him; I have edited the CWCki, but only for grammar, and quickly realised that #Sonichu was not a very friendly place for a new person and didn't pursue that any further. Anyway. I have no idea what a kiwi is in the context of the forums or whatever, but I did realise very quickly that there was a hierarchy of trolls and some inner circle that you couldn't just be a part of. I also realised pretty quickly into my following him that he had been milked dry. When the whole Jackie thing ended it quickly became apparent that Chris wasn't going to do anything particularly funny anymore and that he had started spiraling downward into the shell of a lolcow (and of a person!) he is today. Yet, him being Chris, you can't really look away, and the sheer amount of info available about him made it more difficult to do so.

I am disappointed that it was allowed to get this far, that so many parts of Chris's life that impacted him so much were the result of trolls. As many others have said, how did it come to the weens impersonating people that Chris knew in High School? Why continue when it's clear that you are not going to get him to do anything funny, but rather make him as miserable as he is now? I know we live in eternal hope that we will get another video of him raging, but look at him. He is broken. And that kind of breaks my heart, as much as I know Chris is not the nicest person out there to begin with.

I think trying to stop this behaviour against Chris is a great decision and I fully support Null's plans – but as someone else has said, the full extent of the trolling shouldn't be made available to Chris. I have believed Chris needs some decent mental health care all along; but I think something like that would completely destroy him and he may land up somewhere...more long term.

Long story short, I agree with Null. This level of torture needs to stop, and if that means shutting down certain sites or part of them, I'm all for it.

 

[Le Bateleur]

I'm very careful about how I word things. Everything I say, to my knowledge, is correct. If I have to choose between lying or saying nothing, I say nothing.

Yeah, you've always been an honourable thief in my book I probably should have pointed out that you and ABL have always been straight with us groundlings, even when that meant saying nothing. I didn't for fear of making my post seem like it singled out one or two users, which wasn't my intention.

Anyway, apologies for any offence.

No problem, just clarifying.

Big fucking agree here. Max gets demonized quite a bit around here. He was a 13 year old boy. Chris was a grown man who could have hung up at any given time. Max didn't personally shove a medallion up Chris's ass so stop acting like he did. You have a problem with that situation? Take it up with the other people who were on that call who let the situation escalate to the point.

People most certainly do. I can't remember the story in full, but someone PVCC-related was involved in Bluespike, and at some point, someone threatened to contact the feds regarding him basically selling a 13 year old boy to Chris.

 

[Petronella]

It takes a lot of balls to own up to your mistakes, Null. Do whatever your conscience feels is right.

 

[Holdek]

I haven't posted in a while, but always thought that this board had a "look, don't touch" policy.

Except for sending Chris the care package, which IMO was a really nice idea.

The rule was basically you could troll and share the results here, but you couldn't plan trolling schemes here beforehand.

And if your trolling attempt was embarrassing and you embarrassed the forum due to your membership in it, bann.

 

[Ruckersvillian]

I'm not one of the people whose name is redacted in the OP, but I am responsible for some of the pictures of 14 Branchland Court that have been leaked onto the Cwcki. I felt a little bad just driving by his house and snapping a few pictures with my iPod. I can't believe some have devolved to the point where they're looking through Chris' trash. That's obsessive.

I agree; there isn't much funny about Chris anymore, and it's especially not funny if a lot of the figures from high school who have been making fun of him are trolls. It was one thing when people were facetiously pretending to be Chris to mess with his mind and tease him. It's quite another when everyone Chris knows is some troll posing as someone he's supposed to know.

 

[Tubular Monkey]

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.

 

[DC 740]

I'm most likely wrong or not seeing the entire picture here but what's the point of not just outright deleting the super secret club board right now and not releasing it's content in January? If we are all sharing the idea that Chris is burnt out and shouldn't be fucked with anymore (which I agree with), why publicize "btw here's all the epac ween stuff we did"? Chris will most likely come across it, and if you think his paranoia is bad now wait until he views all the years of being fucked with from the other side. Why not amputate it like the dead weight it is and have us all move onto greener pastures?

I'm not sure what I'm missing here. We all know fucking retards will form their own groups to harass Chris. This shouldn't be us anymore and this needs to be put out back by the shed and given a face full of shotgun. I don't see the point in letting everyone see it either. It's the last thing Chris needs right now.

Heh, I've told people who knew of Chris in 2009 but didn't know Chris trolling was still ongoing about stuff that's been happening to him. They believe me that his house burned down, and that he's selling medallions, and even that he identifies as a lesbian tomgirl now, but they can never accept that people root through the burned remains of his house looking for scraps.
