Exquisite ownage
Jan. 4th, 2008 11:33 pmIn this vast internet, there is ownage, and there is serious ownage.
But never have I seen ownage taken to such an incredible, unbelievable, delicious extreme.
First off, dont mess with 'car guys'. Creating a profile on a forum then using it to spam the forumwill usually get you banned, and that's it. However, if you pick a forum to boast of your Acura NSX and put down the forum folk while also spamming them, it's open season.
Cliffs so far:
User NSX_Nick joins the NSXPrime community then proceeds to tell everyone how he bought the car for cash from his winnings at some gambling site.
Miffed forum members do a WHOIS on the site, find it's registered to someone named Nick.
"Nick" begins denying allegations that it's him, but boasts again of the gambling site, as well as another. More WHOIS peekabo reveals the same guy is the registrant.
People start googling the name and address found in the WHOIS info, discover a MySpace page, numerous other postings at other forums, photos and, the kicker, a registered sex offender site with matching pictures and addresses.
"Nick" still denies the evidence. Another forum member highlights a reflection on the car in "Nick"'s photo, and it's the same guy.
And it only gets better from there.
It's a huge read, but entirely worth it. In only a few days, it's exploded mostly all over various auto-related forums, but it's grown from there. It becomes a parade of new registrants from all the other places this site has become front-page material.
