He kind of lost it when he not only got the usual death wishes (often of cancer of all things) but was also stalked. Someone tried to get him banned on other forums too and went to the length of creating accounts just for that end, and then even tried to get his Steam account terminated. And he was doxxed and stalked IRL too. Someone from here was or is really out to get to him. That person should be very ashamed of themselves.

While I don't want to excuse TinyE's own verbal attacks on other users which indeed went too far, I do get why he went so sour and thin-skinned.

What is a Mauri Kunnas?

It's not TinyE anymore, but

Swan24.

It changed nickname.

Last time i saw it, was when it had the coronavirus avatar. I am also worrying about it, we are friends. I even sent it holiday wishes for Christmas/New Year's and whatnot (minding to utilize its alien dialect even, for "happy holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas").

I also worry about the animals it keeps/care for. Some animals can catch the virus and get ill, even if usually much lighter than humans and thankfully, cannot transmit the pathogen to the latter.

I hope that thing's well and staying safe. Even though it uses scripts and avoids conversation ever since the last many months with me, i always found it funny to be around, amuzing to probe, fun to read its posts and dispute against its tantrums.

A myth. And an urban legend.

Not to run this thread too far off course but one recent-ish example is Timboli's "goodbye" yet "I didn't say I was leaving forever" thread.

Apparently someone from his friends list actually has it in for him, I was trying to make sense of his insane rantings, While he was attacking me and calling me a alt right Nazi of all things No I'm just myself Sick of Governments and everything I even was agreeing with him about the person who used to live here when he said what was the point of having a driveway I said "Yeah I know" I told him that it was the former tenants car and he said I was being an asshole towards him where I was actually agreeing!

GOG has started curating its forum and tinyE was deemed too niche.

(Actually, given the moderators gog chose, anyone whose worldview doesn't 100% overlap with foxnews has nothing to do on these forums. TinyE is certainly better off far from what this website and community has become with time. I wish GOG would fix the update notifications, so that I could send this place to hell too, but hey, galaxy galaxy, so...)

Yes, based on these peoples history here and on other forums, they are one of the last people who should talk about "trolls"/"trolling", and taking things too far.

Arrogant, abusing and headless, indeed. Now that's a first class troll that really should be flagged red...

He evolved into capital E

I second this.
And while I'm aware that some users had a different experience/interaction, I don't really know the story behind those, so the above remains my perspective.

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

There were instances where he said he had to beg GOG to lift his ban, then on the next, he doesn't care if he'll get perma-banned (due to his recent activity).
So I can't really put the blame on any mod for that, since he got what he asked for. (assuming he is perma-banned)

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

Ditto.

That's because there's really no intention of leaving to begin with… they just seek attention.
But as always, there were exception. So I just rely on my "Bull" detector.

I always thought that's how it should be, and maybe some private messages here and there, to let certain people you cared for know.
So yeah, I also respect those who stick to that route.

You're quite known; someone is bound to notice. Bonus points if there's also a thread for you…

No no no no no!

It evolved into

SWAN24

I miss the guy. We used to 'shoot the shit' as they say on PM quite often. I think being banned still allows him to use PMs, but I assume he doesn't come to the site much any more.

Unfortunately! I miss it so much, too! I asked it for advice some time ago, because i really needed its experience. And it never replied to my wellwishing, even though it was honest and heartfelt... I really worry about its health in those hard&trying times, too!
