I'm not sure if that's the connection (honestly, angry/edgy poster from 15 years ago doesn't really narrow it down). Mama Clortho was on the new forum for a while under the name Happyman but sadly died a year ago.dontfeartheringo wrote: Tue May 21, 2024 12:56 pmThat might have been Mama Clortho?seby wrote: Tue May 21, 2024 8:39 am Who in God’s name was that super duper angry kid from Queensland?

Funny story about FM Vockins:
Back when the Occupy Wall Street encampment was still a thing, there was a PRF BBQ event in NYC. The money raised at the door went straight to CVS where supplies like towels, hand sanitizer, bottled water, etc etc, were purchased. I hadn't been to the Occupy Camp, so I jumped in the van with FM Vockins to ride over there and deliver the supplies.
On the way we got behind a Tacoma with Georgia tags and I said "Y'know, I feel funny when I am driving the band van in the city because it has Georgia plates, and I feel like every single driver in New York is sneering at me when they get stuck behind us."
Vockins says, with full sincerity, "Man, nobody here has time for that! Most folks living in New York moved here from somewhere else anyways. We're all stuck in traffic behind somebody. I doubt anybody even notices your plates. Everybody has bigger fish to fry."
We come to a traffic light and there's a thoughtful pause in the conversation as I process all of that.
The light changes and Vockins IMMEDIATELY gets on the horn and says "COME ON YOU FUCKING HILLBILLY. Jesus Christ, this guy."

Leaked Shellac record that turned out to not be Shellac but the guy who swore his band didn't sound like Shellac also produced some angrypants posting.

Re: Personal memories from the old forum
277Maybe the first time I went to NYC to visit Jerry Fuchs after he moved up to play in Vineland (1994?), I went to his work with him for an hour or so to meet his work crew when he worked on the AMEX exchange. All super hardcore stereotypical New Yorkers - the whole bit. When I met them they were all 'Yeah, we're all a super accepting group despite appearances - love people form everywhere - it's the capital of the world!'.dontfeartheringo wrote: Tue May 21, 2024 2:20 pm Funny story about FM Vockins:

When we were leaving, one of them looked at Jerry and said 'Anyway, Jer - why are you bringing this hillbilly redneck f***ot motherfucker in here?!?!'
So good.

278I remember being nervous about asking out a blind woman and posting to the forum for advice. I've moved four times since then, only one time out of that neighborhood. I still pass that blind school every day and sometimes it makes me remember that thread.

I once googled them out of curiosity and found other similar shenanigans in other places.
When I tried to find it again, just now, I discover there's another company now called Audiotruth so either the dude went legit or somebody else is using the same name.
I thought the tweaks were a complete joke and then later came across stuff like this so who the hell knows.
