I signed up for the G online the first day it was open. I think I very occasionally posted before you could sign up. It was all a long time ago and I don't think I posted as Sheep 2. Fortunately I do not know of any way of getting at comments from 2002. Also a lot of the comments after I signed up appear to have been lost. It's a good job I printed them for the Nobel committee. Did you post as Sheep1? |

I created my account with the Guardian online in 2006, coincidentally on the 9/11 anniversary. I think I did it because I was bored. I didn't start talking until 2013.
Some say it was a better time.

I posted first on the G about 2004, under a different name. Not on the games section, which I did not discover until much later. When I first found the chatterbox I could not comprehend it - I remember thinking it was strange that there was an empty article with people just being nice (sic) to each other underneath for no reason.

I'll let you all into a secret. I was cockpuppetsudonym. He burned too bright for this world. The really sad thing is he's already more popular than I am. You people. I think you should use the adverbial form, brightly, in that sentence. |

I don't think Rolling Escargot knows what nice means.

When I first found the chatterbox I could not comprehend it I still can't. I joined the guardian over a year ago because my work was dead and I was in the mood to do some light trolling. I found the chatterbox and thought I could talk about games but when I opened it I realised this was not the case. |

I joined the chatterbox about a year ago and I thought I bet I can get this place closed down in a year.

When I first posted on chatterbox people were nice to each other. I came to ask for advice about a game, and was given thoughtful and respectful answers.
I think it got a bit more brutal soon after. There was a guy called andc who wound everyone up, everybody seemed to pick on Chubster all day long and of course GWX drove everybody into a frenzy of mocking. I remember a guy called monkeyman or something similar, who was pretty harmless and just told a few bad jokes - he was ruthlessly driven from the pack.
It seemed to calm down a bit towards the end. I suppose all the old-timers were a decade older, and had called each other cunts so many times it hardly seemed worth the bother anymore. The silly cunts. Also, I guess once you’ve seen meatspin nothing else ever seems quite so bad.
edit. Simian. His name was simian. Nice enough chap, then one day everyone seemed to turn on him. It was like watching wolves tearing apart an injured member of the pack. Very nerdy wolves, you understand.

Simian taking a full-brunt chopsing from a newcomer after laying down a fairly innocuous 'cunt kids' was a sight to behold.

With regards to that PUBG cheating article.
I don't get it. Why would you want to cheat?
"Look how good crankcaller is at PUBG.."
But crankcaller knows he's crap but looks good. I just don't get it.
I'm not 15 though I suppose.
Though I could see if i was in GTA and someone was being a dick for no reason then nuking them from space repeadetly till they leave would be appealing.

In Fortnite now you can disguise yourself as a bush and just rustle around the hillsides sniping unsuspecting players. It's worse than cheating if you ask me.

Crank,
The cheating isn't entirely penis-waving, some of it is economic.
PUBG rewards players with Battleground Points. The more damage you inflict and the more kills you get, the more Points you accrue.
These points can be used to purchase Pioneer Crates which contain cosmetic clothing items. The more expensive the crate you buy, the more 'exclusive' the clothing.
The clothing can then be sold for real cash-money in any number of digital marketplaces around the internet. The more 'exclusive' or desirable the clothing, the more you can charge.

I started lurking, and later posting, on the chatterbox after realising I'd discovered a collective of people whose lives seemed to comprise entirely of computer games, Blade Runner & Big Lebowski quotes, tragic/comic drinking, top 5 lists, insults and pedantry.
The puns I could take or leave.

Top 5 reasons for joining in with chatterbox:
1: to ask for advice about a game or console
2: desperation and loneliness.
3: ...
... that’s all I’ve got.
