sam33 1 Posted February 26, 2009 I was listening to Weazel news whilst playing TLAD and the following news article came up A los santos teen was taken to hospital with serious burns after getting flamed on an online gaming forum. He found a post done previously by him days earlier and said. GTFO you Lameo noob. His mother then found him on the floor of his bedroom burnt. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

i like coffee enemas 0 Posted February 26, 2009 I've heard this loads of times and thought nothing of it. It's hardly a reference to this forum. You do know how many GTA forums there actually are right? This isn't the only one. This just seems ot be the biggest and most well known. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This isn't the only one. This just seems ot be the biggest and most well known. No, There's a GOOD chance it's this one, but the whole of the GTAF, not just this section of it. They did some Internet humor before in LCS as I recall, guy sounded like Dana Carvey to me, and that's a WIN!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was referring to ALL GTA forums. GTAforums, GTAgaming etc etc... The chances of it being a reference to this forum, are pretty slim. The chances of it being a reference to ANY forum are pretty slim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ikt 256 Posted February 27, 2009 Who do online gaming forums have to be GTA Forums? Could also be forums like Mirrors edge crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slamman 130 Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) Could be but....Nah!! BTW; I was referring to the topic title, not the quoted post above when I said Lost and the Damned being the forum Edited February 27, 2009 by Slamman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slamman 130 Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) That EA buying out Tank and GTAF was an April Fool's joke illconceived by a few key members of GTAF, in fact, it got well out of hand, I have to say! haha BUT, an interesting thing is that it showed there is FAR too much speculation and not enough reason based on what Rockstar have admitted to and expressed to/in the press. One of the things Sam Houser was up front about was the targetting system that had to be revamped, he made no qualms that the gaming press had come down hard on it, and even though he...and I... had no problems using the targetting in past games, they went ahead and revamped it anyway, which in some respects is keeping with the evolution of the game elements. On topic, more or less, it's been debated going back years here, with even speculated certain members leading on that they had a Rockstar North connection. One of the last ones I was following, the guy claimed he was on here while at a Hotspot coffee cafe, and something had him spooked that Rockstar was on to him, and he had to change locations... He dropped out of sight. We speculate Rockstar found him and..... ???!! Edited March 7, 2009 by Slamman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graven 2,945 Posted March 8, 2009 After the mission "It´s War" a cutscene begins and Billy announces that Jason has been killed by some Polish/Russian/Serb. Got me thinking about all the topics about Niko´s nationality on the forum. Probably a coincidence though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gouveia 2,208 Posted March 8, 2009 No, There's a GOOD chance it's this one You say that like GTAF is the only forums in the internet. It can be 4chan, since lots of people try to suicide themselves after being flamed over there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nlitement 11 Posted March 8, 2009 It can be 4chan, since lots of people try to suicide themselves after being flamed over there. You mean a person named "anonymous" posts a troll thread, then tens of persons called "anonymous" post in the same thread flaming "anonymous" then "anonymous" kills himself?

Slamman 130 Posted March 8, 2009 It was Varg who killed Euronymous.... He stabbed him, and claimed he screamed like a littel girl begging for help. I don't know, but isn't that the typical reaction to being stabbed?? haha I wonder why there are no more claims to be associated with Rockstar and presenting some 'deep scoop'? I figure it happened a few times back in the day, I wasn't privy to the actual threads, but I heard about them, of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but I don't think anyone is retarded enough to forgot that it was them who posted what. And there was a fat lady who killed herself, I just remember it due to the first reply, wich was "MUST HAVE BEEN ONE HELL OF A STRONG ROPE" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robinski 11 Posted March 8, 2009 Didn't somebody fid a possible GTAF easter egg bfore regarding the "Steak?" thread?It was a billboard or something specifically about steak, can't remember if it was found to be a proper easter egg or just a coincidence. If anyone doesnt know what I'm on about, look up the Steak thread, it was around Dec '07 I think. Some funny sh*t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slamman 130 Posted March 8, 2009 All I remember is that the Steak threads kept popping up, or at one point, even Moderator unlocked! I never did catch on to what they were on about... I think it originated within the gangs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
