Most of his stuff was deleted and he had his posting name changed, fwiw.

I remember that thread.

I don't remember the Yates thing at all for some reason. I'm inclined to go with jsojourner.

JSojo socks were good. He'd probably never been outsed had he not posted from the very same IP he used for his real account.

Phil pretending to be Jessica Walterstein

That can never be considered a major hoax. It broke down in a matter of days.

Not a major hoax, but I thought it went on for a few weeks.



That name sounds familiar, but I don't recall any details

I seem to have missed the Yates incident entirely.

Stupidest hoax (for the oldtimers) would definitely have been GirlGoneWild...  Tongue

I was less active on the forum during the Joel/Yates thingy so I don't really remember those as well.

Yates. But, there might be a even worse one that is yet to be unveiled.

Phil from Italy: Basically someone with a history of telling lies and trolling claimed that he died in Italy on vacation. No one seriously believed it.

Thanks for the Info.

And i agree, Larrry T was an idiot. He ruined on of my TL's and i ended up PM'ing and cussing him out over it. It was not one of my proud moments but i did it.

He was outed as a puppetmaster. Coburn, KeepTheChange, and (presumably) others were socks of his.

That's freaking hilarious! Especially considering how sanctimonious he was!

What's particularly funny is how many forum members, not to mention moderators, defended him after it came out.  Check this forum back about a couple of months for the goods.

That's too bad that Mike's April 1 (bad timing) AIDS post wasn't a hoax. I wish it would be Sad

A friend of mine did an April Fool's Joke a couple of years back telling people she had AIDS. Funny, but messed up.
