Killer Lettuce? !HonkUK.BIE started this discussion 5.2 years ago#98,219
A thread for older content from Minichan/Tinychan/Anontalk. Things that are funny, nostalgic, or of some historical significance. Let's reminisce.
Please contribute if you can! Just a post describing something is fine, but a picture or a link would be really cool. Not gonna try and set a specific time-frame for what qualifies. Just, you know, don't post anything "too recent".
Small note: please don't derail the thread into namefag drama. Linking to drama or a big namefag bust-ups is encouraged, but this isn't the thread to go on about how you hate so-and-so.
This is probably known to most of us, but it's always a fun read. It's not just his Bulletins either. Other pages from AT are archived here and they're pretty fun too.
These are pretty interesting because they get into his earlier conflicts with 4chan, before the later period when it basically became just MC and TC vs. AT.

As a bonus, I found this YouTube video of some 4chan posters (I assume) visiting his apartment. They also saw (or wrote?) this charming note next to his door.
It's pretty funny to think that, in his day, Kimmo was a pretty big deal on the internet. At his peak, a lot of 4chan were trying to fuck him up.
Wikipedia and some other random forums, IIRC, also knew of him. As a teen, I did a dank raid of Wikipedia where I pretended to be him and posted AT links on there to see what would happen, and the admin who banned me said that Wikipedia had seen "more than enough" Anontalk spam.

On, as you probably know, is long-time Tinychan user and current moderator over there. He makes art using paper, and I found a website of his showcasing his work. Here's some related to Tinychan:
Kimmo's insane legal threats were fun. I honestly can't remember if the "I'LL SUE YOU FOR $100,000 A DAY" thing was an actual quote or somebody making fun of him.
9.8 years ago! It's interesting that he refers to Kimmo being "gone". I don't remember exactly when Anontalk went down for good, but I'm pretty certain it was later than that.
It's pretty sad reading such an optimistic topic and then seeing what became of Tinychan today.

I'm not sure there's any specific reason why Minichan ended up doing better out of the two, but I think that FrankUsrs and his disastrous takeover of Tinychan was a big factor.
That was a whole big piece of drama in itself. Here's the Minichan topic around the time it blew up: https://minichan.net/topic/52309
He was an interesting one, for sure. A hardcore misanthrope, with a generous helping of racism thrown in. Despite his charming views, though, he had a certain intelligence to him. His philosophizing topics were very well-written, even if you didn't agree with him. He was kinda like if Autphag wasn't an incoherent mess.
Most of his topics were lost after Minichan moved to a new host, so most of what's on MC now isn't his best work. There's this topic, though, in which Mister Misanthrope celebrates the 2011 Japan tsunami:

NNext up is... Hindu guy! Oh man, he was one hell of a poster.
He posted here a little under 6 years ago, and mostly wrote in short, declarative statements. These statements often asserted concepts such as him being brown-skinned, a Hindu, young, and a sexually-active heterosexual.
A common feature of his posts was a mysterious man known only as "Scott". He was a sort of antagonist figure in Hindu guy's posts, and Hindu guy sure had a lot to say about him:
I'm not sure if someone that unhinged would last long on Anontalk. Then again, the only things that really set Kimmo off were incorrect grammar and outright trolling, IIRC he was otherwise okay with post content being weird. So maybe Hindu guy's posts were tolerated.

Postmortem, I think, might warrant a whole extensive post documenting his antics. My god, the things I'm remembering. Breaking his girlfriend's hand, an unexplained selfie of him after a beating, and him being a Golden God!

The Bulletins and rules pages are pretty interesting reads. They reflect how, in its earliest days, the Minichan staff placed a much stronger emphasis on quality and were generally more serious. But some of that was basically just lip-service, I think. There was still plenty of shitposting. Why, there's a bulletin from 2010 asking people to not derail threads with Matt schtick!

I investigated, and it looks like Matt is indeed lying. His IPs didn't resolve to anywhere close to Matt, and none of them were associated with Matt UIDs.

Sadly, that's actually not the beginning. Even our current Statistics page has 2010-04-13 as the date; Minichan began (AFAIK!) in (very) late 2009.
Okay, so I'm guessing the June date was when Minichan actually launched and became publicly accessible? I'd still count that as a significant milestone, myself. But otherwise, I guess that the 13th of April is our best date for a birthday? We'd better bump up those birthday party plans!

I was doing a dank callback to Hindu guy. You can read about him ITT.

@1,108,228 (chill dog !!81dzJNNYL)
Eh. As long as you keep it vague and avoid specific details, you're usually fine. It also helps that this happened over 9 years ago. I probably wouldn't do the same thing for a poster who's active today, unless they actually asked for mod confirmation.

@1,108,239 (Killer Lettuce? !HonkUK.BIE) I think it was publicly accessible even before then - sim posted a screenie of himself in front of his monitor, with "2009" showing in the taskbar, IIRC.
Although... seems the domain was registered on 2010-03-30 according to a whois, so maybe the stats page is accurate after all!

Good evening, Minichanners. Grab your beverage of choice, flump down into your favourite chair, and enjoy a healthy serving of nostalgia.

I remember this! Goddamn, sK was quite a character. I remember he also had this Korean nationalism thing going on, too.
You're right about the /b/tards. I know at least one of them, FezT, hung around for a while because of this. So this image was, in fact, beneficial to MC.
On a related note, I'm starting to feel like a lot of noteworthy stuff happened on the pre-bunker site, even though it was only around for a year or so... Like, there's a few really old things I'd like to post ITT thread but can't really because they're pre-bunker.

We need posts about Anonymous H, to4str, The Chosen One & his rowdy crew of 14 year old friends, Aileron, The Truth, etc. I'll do some work on something eventually.
Refresh it a few times, the OP generates a new cute cat picture each time! Why does it do that? r04r added it because this topic got quite... angry.
Squeegee made a post saying that native Americans were the only real Americans. Seeing an opportunity for mischief, I came in pretending to be vocalon (or an exaggerated version of him). In case you don't know, vocalon is quite... Strong and vocal on his left-wing stances. What some might call an SJW.
Then squeegee got pretty mad, and I pretended to get mad in response. Things escalated a bit. One or two people saw through my strawman, I think. I felt a bit bad about it because squeegee didn't really deserve to be trolled. but he called the topic a success later so I think he had fun.
Anyway, eventually I owned up to it. Kook was mad at me and didn't speak to me for like a year afterwards. :( Though looking back, I'm not too pleased with classic KL's haughty snark at the end.
You should read squeegee's posts about his culture, by the way. They're very interesting.

to4str would be a great one! So many memes with him. Gay science, brake calipers, a leaky car boot, lasers...
I don't remember Aileron very well. I know he worked in politics and was quite conservative. He said he'd leave America if it legalised gay marriage, lol.

Next up... Autphag! He's a bit difficult to sum up in just one post. He was a very... unique personality, who was around on Minichan for a while.
Here's his Kiwifarms thread. I'm gonna be lazy, and rely on this for an overall introduction to him. The original post has a basic description, and some choice quotes that should give you a pretty good overview of him. Please... absorb it. Bathe in the essence of Autphag before continuing. https://kiwifarms.net/threads/chris-gillon-autphag-and-spergchan-sophie-yisraeli.3728/
Here's a small selection of some of Autphag's activities on Minichan:
He also made a YouTube video about himself shopping for knives with which to kill his psychiatrist. Surely, nothing could go wrong with this?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AZDOxfaILQ
But alas, something did go wrong. This online lunacy was noticed by the authorities, which got him jailed for 6 months, with a lengthy court order to not post on the internet until December this year. Here's a newspaper article talking about it: https://www.pressreader.com/uk/scottish-daily-mail/20170131/282033326921175
(Fun trivia: this might mean that Minichan has made it into the Scottish courts as evidence. How prestigious!)
Most recently, he posted this thread. As far as I can tell, this is the last public appearance he made on the internet. It seems that he's not doing well... https://minichan.net/topic/88044
Lastly, I just have to include Fake anon's absolutely killer put-down of his typing style: > And yeah Catherine makes really stupid spelling and/or word choice errors on a daily basis, but at least his posts are intelligible. You use eleven words where two would suffice, and you've never met an adjective you didn't like. I actually cannot read any posts of yours that are longer than a paragraph or two because my eyes glaze over when I try to retain all the words you cram into each lexical clown car you call a sentence. https://minichan.net/topic/49651#reply_645488

Oh, before I forget, please don't repost any dox (including full names) that you might see in that Kiwifarms link or in the older MC links.
I expect that anyone reading this who's already familiar with him already knows his details, and those of you that aren't won't care enough to post them anyway. But even so, let's keep it classy from now on.

Since this got bumped, I was thinking of doing a post about Bitsytalk, but... I'm unsure. I feel like it was one of those things that was funny at the time, but might not be so much now. Plus, the funny screenshots and images relating to it were lost.
The Dr. Robert's forum raid, I think, might've aged better, but I'm not aware of any surviving screenshots of that either. Also, I came to the game late on that one, so I couldn't tell the story very well.

Dr. Robert's last post on his old forum is actually still up. http://pub28.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=2341679505&frmid=916&msgid=957041&cmd=show > The forum is locked because of an organized spam attack perpetrated by a group of malicious imbeciles who, since they lack the character and intelligence to create or make anything for themselves, spend their sad days trying to disrupt the work of others.
I don't remember Bitsytalk well, but the name reminds me that 2010 Minichan was a hotspot for bitcoin shitposting. There were a few people who gave away their then-worthless coins here. In the screenshot, Brie gives away 5500 bitcoins out of laziness (currently worth $50,305,615 USD). The transaction is recorded here: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/block/0000000000022c49ef0d0a1eb1588f49867a2ed7ca35914ff712c437ccfd6962
Woah, hello! You're back here! The reason why that happens is that, after the permanent fall of Anontalk, someone (I don't think anyone knows who?) bought the Anontalk domain name and redirected it here.
This was, of course, an excellent way to dunk on Kimmo. However, it did create a small problem. Occasionally, paedophiles who had posted on Anontalk would go that URL and end up here, mistakenly thinking that this website was a successor to Anontalk. Usually, I was told, the mods would just quietly ban them and that would be that. AT refugees have probably stopped being a thing by now, but it was sure disturbing at the time.
