The weirdest place on the net

Damn me and my emotions, they have no place on the internet >.>.

Meh, I'm kinda heartless now....

Your not alone on the internet =3. Seems like to some, turning on their LCD screens is a ticket to being a complete . Not saying you are one in real life or online, but for a lot of people this seems to be quite the "thing". It's a bit sad me thinks, finding a nice and comfortable community online is quite hard.

It looks like "Bloody Board" is no longer inhabited by "jamie_marsters" alone. It appears to have become very popular to the 4chan community. "Bloody Board" is no longer the creepy and interesting view into the inner working of a fractured mind.
Now it is just another troll forum for the basement dwellers of the 4chan community.

Which is kind of sad, if you think about it.

Before, maybe it was mildly disturbing or sad or whatever that this particular board was occupied by one person. However, that was her outlet for what she liked. Obviously, she enjoyed doing what she was doing, otherwise she'd have ceased posting.

Now, people have ruined "her world." This will have one of two results:
1) Cause her to realize what she has been doing and go do something else, releasing her from the "bondage of Buffy," or
2) Throw her into some form of despair or depression, because this was her world and now it's destroyed.

I'm actually fairly disheartened by what has gone on, after the article, but I'm not surprised. The Internet is a ruthless, cruel, hateful place...

In any case, I hope she's all right.

I'm the co-author of the article (the Nick half). I wrote all the stuff on the second page.

Neither me nor Derek condone the trolling/spam/whatever.

Set against your expectations...wow. That site wasn't nearly as bad as I expected.

Yeah, I have to admit, furry porn of that variety probably ranks about the same as the stuff on /d/.

Two Questions.

Didn't you think about the consequences?
How did you learn about her anyway?

 

[Magic Cheese]

I suppose it could have been worst. I'm sure no one will remember the inccedent in a few days anyway.

Except for poor jamie...

 

[Mageicial]

Seems Jamie is taking this pretty calmly than I thought. Her tweets aren't full of rages and flames. A little too calm I must say...

@TheDarkEricDraven Who's that on your avatar?

If by "the consequences" you mean "the chance that someone would read the article, post it on /b/, and have an all-out raid lead to the site being taken down," then no. We had no way of predicting that. We didn't tell people to troll her, we said "this forum is weird" and moved on.

Derek wrote the entry and found the site. Here's his explanation of how he found it:

I remember coming across the bloody board long before this article was even pitched; back when I was on digg, I remember someone posted a link to a similar message board with a whole bunch of posts from one user. That site went dark, but one of the commenters mentioned the bloody board, and while I was researching for this article, I remembered it. After that, a little googling got me to the website.

 

[wtfsteam]

If you mean the chance that someone would read the article, post it on /b/

Some people were going straight there from cracked.

We had no way of predicting that.

You have a brain. You have reasoning skills. You have imagination. Presumably, you have some experience with human interaction.
Many people in both the cracked comments and on the board itself said "When I read the article, I knew this would happen".

We didn't tell people to troll her, we said "this forum is weird" and moved on.

Welcome to the internet. You'll find it is a savage place, where loners ridicule other loners for being different in order to make themselves feel better on a regular basis.

Pointing out to others that "someone is weird" and not expecting them to do anything is very naïve.
People are dicks, people on the internet even more so. If it can be trolled, it will be trolled. The internet has been this way for at least 12 years, and I don't even frequent 4chan.

Don't get me wrong, jamie_marsters is a terrible person, who only makes friends with people online in order to help her make money.
She is getting what she deserves, but Derek is responsible for this, and calling attention to a sad loner is a dick thing to do, on the internet or otherwise.
