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. 3: Aiming to get the place shut down and everyone hounded by Guardian moderators. (I was, really, really successful at that) 4: a desire to hang out with the cool kids. That might actually fall under desperation now that I think about it 5:... actually, you've got a point |

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. I was looking for Rickydaxavier's response to Simian dropping the In Bruges "Cunt kids" quote but the original has been moderated. All I could find was Fegbarr's response (which, nevertheless, captures the gist of the original): Fegbarr 22 Feb 2012 17:20 Rickydaxavier Fuck me, who invited twat-features? Sit down and strap in, son, you're in for a bumpy ride if you keep this shit up. While you've grasped the informal tone of the box by liberally sprinkling your post with expletives, you've made the mistake of using a tone more appropriate to the schoolyard. Have you got a minute, so I can help you out? Sentences end with a full stop. Many of us learnt this in school, but there's no shame if you didn't. Thick people can cope quite well in modern society. You mean "gainful" employment. There's no such thing as "gameful" employment. Unless you're a gamekeeper, I suppose. This sentence is thoroughly out of place. I presume it's meant to be an introduction to the following paragraph, but it's rather unclear. If it is, then you ought to replace that ellipsis (dot dot dot to you, I suppose) with a colon. One of these things: see? Whoops, you've done it again! There's no need for an ellipsis here, either, especially not one which is one full stop short. Never mind! It's a learning experience for everyone. And don't forget to close your brackets next time! If you don't, the words might fall out and spill all over the next paragraph. You don't want that. You might look like some kind of idiot. I presume you were trying to slip into a little conversational German, there? It's a lovely language, isn't it? The problem is you seem to have spelt "ja" phonetically. Don't be ashamed, not everybody knows that. Hope you've understood a little better how adults write. Glad I could help! |

Whenever I was ever going to chops one of the big hitters I usually decided against it. Something along the lines of that was what I was afraid of.
Home. Snow. Lots and supposed to be more. Just made baked gnocchi for dinner. Ideal stodge for a cold night.

Tremendous stuff. But what's not clear is what prompted the outburst. Had Simian initiated the exchange by requesting the sweat from ricky's balls?

Had Simian initiated the exchange by requesting the sweat from ricky's balls? it was an innocuous (albeit naive) post from Ricky: Unfortunately Simian chose to respond with the infamous In Bruges quote: Sadly, Ricky did not get the reference and took offence somewhat. And the moral of all this? Seek the advice of the Chatterbox at your peril. |

Superb.
Sometimes I wish I’d found the Chatterbox long before I did.

Still, kudos to Ricky for the speed of escalation. Delurk to flounce in only 2 posts.

Interesting that he left in early 2012. Shenguin said earlier that he started posting as Shenguin in 2012, after dropping an earlier identity which he has 'forgotten'. I'm not saying Shenguin is rickydaxxavier, but it seems at least a possibility. Maybe 95%. |

Rick, circa 2012. We need some new patter.

Reading that back it was probably a tad/massively harsh, even for here.

You're a cardboard cutout of a cunt: I don't even have a girlfriend, so the joke's on you, cunt. |

Dammit! I can never make that work.
Well, you all know what it was anyway, just use your memory.

Oh man, I remember this now! I had forgotten about Simian, but now that you posted the whole exchange I clearly remember the DJ-ing and the lazyboy. Yes, the lazyboy stands out.

Ricky was like a child who wanders into the middle of a cinema.. Not a clue of any social norms.

Evening,
Chatterbox nostalgia: I stumbled upon the 'box looking for a Skyrim review. At the time I was too focused on trying to build a career to post. Last year I realised that was futile and got involved.
The best* 'box chat was TimTheMonkey (I think) and dating advice.
*worst

The best Chatterbox was the one where everyone sat around making in-jokes and recounting stories about what it used to be like on the Chatterbox. What? That doesn't narrow it down? Oh well, ignore that and tell me, what is your weapon of preference in the event of a zombie apocalypse?
