Well, this brings the lulz.

Not quite wank, but amusing.

Over on shootfortheedit.com (no, I don't know what it means), a rather annoying individual named Shadow posts up information for the upcoming Transformers 2 movie, saying he's got contacts at Hasbro. Sneaky, sneaky.

And then fish happens.

See, this isn't "insider info". This is Sparta the Koipedia. For the uninitiated, the Koipedia is basically a compilation of Transformers fanon as developed by koilungfish. Unlike some fanon it has connections to canon events, but it's hardly insider material. Hilarity.

HAHA!!! That was fast!

Now Shadow's probably going to throw a big fit since Nelson doesn't like to explain his actions. LOL!

Be prepared for that backlash. ;) But be sure to have all your information and ducks in a row when it does happen. :)

[koilungfish.livejournal.com]

Alarmingly so. Wonder if he deleted them because of the copy-paste or the insinuations of insider info?

I'd hope Nelson PMed Shadow and told him why he was deleting the threads.

What sort of backlash do you mean? I'm not exactly going to be hanging around the board looking for hassle ...

[bumblebee-1983.livejournal.com]

I just mean that Shadow may bring up his posts again in the public part and get them deleted again and then start up something out of anger, like "Why were my posts deleted?" and so forth, trying to get an answer out of Nelson.

I've seen it happen MANY times before. Too many to count. *sigh*

Just don't let it be known publicly that you reported it/brought it to Nelson's attention and you should be good. :)

Ah well, if he does that, it's between him and Nelson. I only went to that board to find out why I was getting hits from it and now my stuff is gone, I have no reason to go back.

Nelson responded awfully fast - he had those threads down in five minutes. I do wonder if someone else hadn't reported them already.

[bumblebee-1983.livejournal.com]

Someone might have already reported them if they went buh-bye that fast.

But it's a good thing to look into, that's for sure!

[koilungfish.livejournal.com]

Makes sense. There were a couple of people in the thread, one of whom PMed me about the situation and the other of whom's listed on Nelson's close buddy list. Might well have been one of them.

[bumblebee-1983.livejournal.com]

It's good to know the right people, isn't it? ;)

[koilungfish.livejournal.com]

Yup :)
