There was a whole big thing with Levi and meathead but that's not what I'm referring to.  This was when a certain crazy bitch was threatening to go to the police claiming they'd been "harassed" by members of PI.

i dunno if it was levi-inspired. he's actually been good the past few years. i was actually thinking of having goose contact him and make a mention on the hotline about the new board situation in an effort to get the remaining missing...

now concerning, the drama, my memory's foggy too, all i remember was it involved something a lot of us saw as a bullshit new rule, maybe involving accounts or something, or a double standard, i dunno all i know is we had fun with it.

i think the logic was, well, if we all admit to being the same person the rule doesn't apply. or it does apply and it was some big grand statement. either way a bunch of us exchanged the same log in details and we pulled a grand old sentient skynet dealymo (pi-net!)
i dunno how strongly i felt about the issue. i did it for the lolz.

i felt bad when people threatened to quit over my and others' suspensions and that caused some even more drama, and then the board went offline. a great old internet timeout.

maybe bob or boofu or static remembers the exact details behind it?
My memory is just as shadey as yours.  In fact, you informed me of more than I remembered already.

The cause can't have been too important to me either, all I ever remember was us laughing over goofing around and then getting suspended during one session of Tool lyrics.  I think the suspension meant more to me than any cause or reason we had for doing what we did (see how vague I'm being, I really don't remember the 'cause' at all....) and yeah, it went a little too far when people were threatening to quit over suspensions, but more so, I just recall being quite stunned over how much it was never a big deal - in my eyes anyway - and yet suddenly turned into a huge drama sandwich.

I remember the Meathead/Levi thing.

Heh, the second part you're going to have to narrow down; who didn't we harass?  Newbie wise I mean anyway.  Who was that girl who kept posting pages upon pages of whiney emo diary crap?  That wasn't the same one who made the police complaints was it?

That was when I stopped talking to her. I'm all for letting drama run it's course, but that was a bit much for even my easy-going standards.

I miss cat too but she was going through a lot of emotional turmoil and academic pressure, so I understand why she went away.  Hopefully she's doing okay now but I don't know.

-I remember the drama that chim is referring to, and I was "taking a break" from the board for a bit at that time (I was def. still an undergrad) but I remember being a little shocked when I got filled in on the story, since I had frequently talked off-board with said person and didn't see it coming. But again, I missed a lot of it so who knows.

-Speaking of people I used to talk to off-board (and ppl who are nuts) I wonder what ever happened to the fellow obsessed tori fan who ended up going off the deep end? I think some of you will know who I'm talking about.

- I miss cat a lot too. She was very cool, but really buried in a lot of stuff. I hope she made it over the hump.

I'm pretty sure I remember this, too. Then again, it could also be referring to two different people, neither of which surprises me that they would go to the police claiming to be harassed.

I definitely remember the drama and exactly who it was. Cz. And I also remember the white car incident. And everything else in between.

As far as the Tori fan goes, she actually moved out here and lived a few blocks down from me. Pretty sure she still lives in this town. I haven't crossed paths with her for a few years now though. Don't think I ever shared that part on PI (that we've met in person) , because I actually did empathize with her depressions and didn't want to defend why I would take that opportunity to even want to hang out with her before. But I do understand where anger towards her comes from, but I never thought it was funny (then or even now) that you guys can poke fun of cries for attention. Obviously, there's something wrong with her and a cry is a cry.

I never even contacted her much off the board before, but as it goes, found out through the grapevine that she moved to L.A., so went on the whim and invited her to hang out. I don't claim to be her friend or that I actually like her and I do find her offsettling, but I won't poke fun of her depression or defend her more than that.

I don't think anyone was poking fun at depression but more at the way she chose to express it at that moment in time...  kind of a genotype/phenotype thing.  If she has posted a picture of her wrist cut open or bleeding, I don't think anyone would have been joking.  But to post a picture of your wrist that looks like you just barely scratched it with a plastic fork or ran it across the carpet and tell a bunch of people online that this is what they made her do to herself; that is internet comedy because it isn't serious.

I am glad to hear she moved to L.A. and is hopefully doing well.
