This guy wasn't owned nearly as bad as Nick Sitko on the NSX forum: http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98489 You want internet ownage? Check this one out: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=399203 Cliff notes version is some idiot named Charlie Wenzel advertised to sell a set of ring and pinion gears for his truck on pirate4x4.com (don't mess with those guys, btw). Another dude pops up and says that he sold them to him and then upped the price suddenly, but didn't send the gears. Classic bait and switch. Then they turned out to be used gears that he said were new. Then he refused to give refunds, behaved poorly, insulted board members, etc, and eventually the board turned on him in the most glorious display of web ownage I've ever seen. Public info was posted, I think parents were contacted if I remember, people in his area were ready to show up at his house armed, and everybody there now knows that you are NOT anonymous on the internet, lol. To this day, if you are defrauded online you were Wenzeled. The term Wenzeling also works for if you exact internet revenge on them. See below: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wenzeled Another classic that I can't find happened on jeepforum.com (or at least I think it was there). Some members girlfriend had some weirdo contact her on MySpace, she was nice to him online, and he took that to mean he could stalk her (later on several other victims came forward and helped with the damage). So he proceeded to harass, stalk, etc, and even after being contacted by email and phone by the chick's boyfriend refused to back off, and was incredibly rude about it. So the guy goes to the forum for advice, doesn't even ask for help, but he got it. Within 24 hours everybody on the forum, and a few hundred from other forums that got the link, knew his full name, address, phone number, business name and address, vehicle info including license plate, parent's names and addresses, etc. They even posted pictures of his house with his truck in front of it. The Wenzel wannabe posted something to the effect of "you'll never find me" thinking that he was perfectly safe and anonymous (he didn't know about the thread on jeepforum). So the next morning, he woke up to find an 8x10 picture of himself (pulled off of his photography businesses website) with "you'll never find me!" written on it, and taped to his front door. They pretty much rocked his world, and within 72 hours, they had a taped public apology via phone call to the victim, where the loser very literally cries, sobs, and begs for mercy. They had him reduced to nothing and in fear of his life and career in less than 3 days. Most of it within 2 days. Total pwnage, lol. To this day one of the most important things I've learned is that there is great power in the ability of an internet forum. Everybody has each others back, and a few of the members just might be private detectives, cops, lawyers, or just borderline psychos. edit: Now that I think about it I think the second one happened on a different forum and we just got the link to help out in the attack. |
