Re: HDRkid II
HA ha oh yes, Frog. His/her only believer. I remember that there was controversy surrounding the identity of HDRkid. Yes Starlord referred to her as Jenny, because Darby did some sluething and apparently came up with that she was posting from Seattle area and that HDRkid was this woman. He had found a site online I believe that was HDRkids...a blog, really. And it was this woman. But I don't know if there was any definitave proof.
That was the other thing. HDRkid was NEVER defensive. His/her self control was ridiculous. No matter how many personal questions, attacks-this person avoided and evaded questioning and scrutiny as if it didn't exsist. Leaving more than one person completely frustrated (including myself.) Really passive-agressive stuff if you ask me.
Then a debate raged as people questioned the safety of the HDR unit, and how it was that HDRkid was willing to pander this to kids. People thought Frog was a kid but I believe that he finally admitted that he was in fact, 32 or something along those lines. Nevertheless, the ethics and the morals of not only charging for parts or information, but even encouraging anyone buy something that could in fact, melt their brains, seemed irresponsible of HDRkid. And of course, the kid had no defense, and just kept on posting-but the HDRkid of that day, posted nothing but GLOOM and DOOM. There was never any good futures-and most of the futures were taken from things that you could find on the net, but not necessarily in the MSM. For example, kid made a prediction about Coke Blaque-a couple weeks before it was on the shelves. SO the general public may not have been aware of it, but do enough googling and you can find a million things like that.
And finally I remember such a rukus because HDRkid went wild with the predictions surrounding bird flu. That essentially it would kill us all. I remember HDRkid had an avatar of a monster truck-(another reason I felt he was a he) with the big ass wheels on it. I found a pic online of a monster truck-that was being pulled with ropes by birds. I used it as my avatar for a long time while posting on that thread!!
Numenorean7 said:Didn't Starlord used to call him Jenifer ? I'll need to truly read the whole HDRKid thread post per post soon, I didn't have the time to do so yet. That's a monster of a thread, 1300 posts. I did read most of it when TPN existed, and it was pretty awesome.
I remember reading it, I didn't know anything about the HDR, I liked to see how the kid managed to always ignore what everybody were telling him (sometimes insults and such), and posting new stuff every day. He also used to answer Frog's questions. These are nice memories I have from this thread, that was back in 2005.
What are your memories ?
