JCC The best JC meltdowners (SLG and SJ joint victory)

I don't know if he ever had a "melt-down" but looking back at the one-man campaign Sapient carried out to get himself promoted to MS in the first place, it's pretty clear he was quite a strange character...

 

As mentioned, I think the best one was based on the following:

"Warmaster, we think too often in terms of dualism: Jedi or Sith, light or dark, right or wrong. But there are three sides to this blade, not two, opposed and similar at the same time. The third edge is the Mandalorian."

And speaking of Lit, it was the best for meltdowns. The closest I myself ever came to being banned involved a different EU author, a leaked non-published script, and how he didn't take kindly to criticism of anything he wrote, despite actively participating in the forum as long as people were praising his work. Such fickle, fickle authors.

Now, for the contra-award to this thread is Jan Duursema. She was always the best. If every EU-related artist was like her, the EU would have been a million times better.

And I'd second who E_S brought up as well.

 

Sapient was a great historian of the 2SA and 3SA. It's too bad about his e-rape.

 

Amateur. It was a lot harder with restrictive software. Though I still remember the day every AOL user was banned from the boards.

It was Christmas Eve. I did the present opening stuff with the family and then when I got back online before Xmas lunch everything had hit the fan because DarthStupid decided to demote and ban Carter in return, which got staff members involved..... The only light spot was the conversation PadmeBra and I had trying to sort out how to clean it up and what meds people were/weren't taking.

Taydon had quite the spectacular meltdowns at times. Which was a shame because when he wasn't on anything he was one of the smarter JCers I used to chat with over IMs.

Many, but either in MS, or over PMs. There were a couple in Comms that ended with interesting contortion acts. And of course none were instigated by baiting from former mods/head admins......

 

Pssh, never. Perish the thought.

 

Dingo wasn't the AOL bannage a result of a person accidentally hitting the IP ban instead of going for the banning of one specific user?

 

Although the best reaction I got was calling an imbecilic decision exactly that. DA, Dagsy and I got near identical PMs within minutes of each other. Great way to waste a Sunday afternoon.

 

I'm trying to remember the AOL IP ban, because I think it was when I was around -- which usually means, like at a poker table, if you can't spot the fish... you're probably the fish.

 

a) Never let the details get in the way of a good story;
b) It was sort of, they were trying to get a troll that was creating new accounts so attempted to ban the end range of IPs to slow them down, not realising it was an AOL dynamic IP address set.

And no David, it wasn't you. It was before your time.

 

Someone then definitely IP Banned AOL again when I was there...

Also... timey wimey, wibbly wobbly... mod stuff...

 

bithy never really had a meltdown. she left the boards because of something she believed strongly in and put a link in her sig and bio to the new board that she created. it was pretty far from a meltdown. she was really cool and a friend so i just felt i should say something.

 

When I first started looking at the Boards I was absolutely terrified of the mods.

Chyren scared the daylights out of me, LOL!

GreenCrossCode was always very kind to me though. Silmarillion was cool as well.

 

There was this one mod, Kadue or something. He tricked me with a type of "Excalibur-test" with a survey.

And then next thing I know I'm roped into five years of servitude...

 

I am sure Bib Fortuna Twi'lek had the greatest meltdown away from the boards once he realized he was banned.

 

Ironically, it didn't slow down his post count though. Probably increased it...

 

It's so bizarre who's been permanently banned and who's been let back. All Bib did was spam and correct people in those stupid line-by-line threads, right?

 

What about the groups that got their start on the Jcc? Didn't they leave in a massive meltdown when a few souls got slighted by the majority.
I also remember back in 03-05 having to read late night cat fights that lasted a page or two before someone got banned.

 

He was addicted to spamming and not having any sort of conversation with people.

 

Naturally given the subject of this here thread, I got to thinking of the meltdown I had here (and elsewhere) back in '08. For those who know what I'm talking about, this post isn't a pity party, but rather an explanation for those who don't know what I'm talking about, etc.

Now that's a meltdown... literally. A 3-day nervous breakdown I had (spanning from 2/28/08-3/1/08), with that thread/post occurring amid the breakdown's "first act". I'm certain there were other examples of my loony behavior from around here from that time, but that's the best, most theatrical example. Most of the rest of said meltdown took place elsewhere.

 

Your meltdown belonged in the first world problem thread.

 

There wasn't one then.

 

The first world was actually problem free until mid-2011, and then everything went to ****.

 

Tunes, Beez just zinged ya good.

 

I remember that! I was in the modsquad when all that went down. The discussion on the mod board was epic between PB, Chyren, Jasman, Darth Ludicrous, Vertical, and me. If I remember right, YODAtheAllPowerful & Josh Griffin stepped in and brought everything back to balance. It was intense, man. Dark times....
