Birth of a Fandom

See what I stayed up all night last night to write?

Drop me some comments. ;)

Man, I rule.

You really have nothing better to do since I moved to Austin don't you? :D


I keed, I keed. It was a nice read.

Yeah, since you moved away my sex-life has suffered.


heh

Then I guess I do too... since I was mentioned in the same sentence.

*demands royalties!!!*

BZ, that was maddeningly long. But it was quite interesting. Now I believe I'd best get back to work...

heh It's still shorter than tha TF History I wrote.

You mentioned me! *Huggies* I'm immortalized!! B)

Huggies? Is BZ incontinent now?

*has a colon blow in Icy's litter box*


That's for the server you pissed on, snowcat!

Heh yup, AS, you're famous now. heh

Hey!

I'm hearing that discussions about this Fandom History are popping up on different boards.

If you guys see a discussion about it on a site, be sure to drop a link in here.
Heh I heard even some GI Joe boards were discussing it. heh

Discussion at the ALLSPARK (yeah, yeah, BZ posted this 'revelation' first at ICOM).

I love when the Kalspark starts making up their own ideas. It's like fandom fanfic after a while. Hell, I've owned the AUG domain name for years. I never knew of this nefarious plan. *gasp*

Hey, since you own the domain you can take over everything, just like Kal did. heh

You think he'd trust someone else to own the allspark.com domain?

Ours is a group of friends. I trust you (god knows why) to get things in order. If I doubted the grande scorp or any of our group here I could have run off long ago.

Run, Rabbit, Run!!!

Heh someone on 2005 accused me of being biased against them. That's probably because I posted the History on TFD, since all I said about their split was that they left over creative differences. heh

TFW 2005 BZ History Discussion

I think the reaction of some of the ppl in the fandom just illustrates how the factioning has biased their view of neutral material.

jesus wept.....cry me a river folks. People hate their dirty laundry scattered for all to try on.

Yet another board discusses the Fandom History.

Chronoscythe (who you all may remember as Tigerhawk/King Grimlock) just loves my work.

Tigger, if you're reading this, you're far from being the main villian or the "Javert" to my "Jean Valjean". If anything, you were an angry clown; a minor irritant that just kept popping up. You're kinda like Herpes.

If I were to compare us to two fictional characters, I would say that you are the Robot Master to my Shockwave. Y'know, Unholy & I hung out at BotCon 2002 and he was really cool and mature and even apologized for all the crap that happened. It's a shame that you never grew up like he did. Everything that happened between us is in there and it's true. Of course I suppose everyone else involved is wrong and only your version is right. heh Ah well.

I never even hated you. You just kept popping up like a gopher and chittering when I (or any other Zarak) showed up on a board you visited. You took your section completely wrong. You weren't the villian; you were the comic relief.

Click here to see the thread that TF Archive has discussing it.


Here is the thread about the History on TFans.com.

Bah, let Tigger think he's the main villain, it'll make him feel important. I realize that this kind of crud (the slinging on other boards) is one of the reasons that I appreciate having AUG as modest as it is anymore. I don't have to dig through the self-appreciating crap that people post all day and night. It's not as if you made anything up that you posted, I witnessed a huge chunk of it myself. The bottom line is that people that build their connections through lies and half-truths are usually exposed at one point or another. Exposition can be painful.

I loved when they tried to take over the site. At least Unholy readily admitted to everything, too bad others can't. At the core, Unholy realized that it shouldn't be us vs. them, because we're all fans when the day ends. I wonder how much better that your history would have been recieved without your *Zarak moniker?

Y'know I think that it might have been embraced more readily, but at the same time, it probably wouldn't have gotten as much attention. I think everyone screaming about it spread it across the fandom in one day.

The Zarak name only made it get rejected by people who only lie about themselves anyway, none of whom I give Lab-Rat's ass about. heh

Just think, if it wasn't for Tipper Gore none of us would even know who Two Live Crew was. Just like with the flyers, these guys have done more to help me than I could have done on my own.

I should probably send them another "Thank you" letter.

I also love how I'm responsible for everything that PrimeZ (or any other person wiuth the name Zarak) did/does on the Allspark. Im must have all of the Zaraks hypnochipped so that they never act on their own or do anything without my approval. heh I even liked the "fake Zaraks", and even told Dez as much. I mean, hell, I even loved the flyers Zac & Dez made. Ah well c'est la vie.

fnording Tigerhawk. I love my ethnicity, or lack therof, being used as a frigging pariah. So anyone wanna tell me what "First Nations Zarak" is supposed to mean? Sounds like another walk down the eggshell path instead of saying Indian, but I'm really unclear just what in the hell he's talking about. Any thoughts?

Tigger actually thinks he'll get hacked if he comes here? ROFLMAO! Schwiggie is the biggest disapointment actually as I really thought he was smarter (not to mention more eloquent) than all of this. Ah well, yet another letdown. The 'Zaraks' haven't really done anything for real since Bigbot.com days, all other shit is just shades of the past. Hell, I've never been a Zarak, but since I don't try to put BZ down I must be with him. Complete bullshit.

I have haxx0r3d into your brain! Dance my marionette! Dance!

That was your 69th post. heh

Doesn't that include Shwiggie, Kalidor, Vindicator, Tigger and just about everyone else posting on Shwiggie's Board? heh

I can't wait to read this "impartial" Allspark history.

Hey...I have a very nice ass. Don't bring it into this mess :D

Yeah, everyone loves your ass. Too much to be healthy, IMO!

Pooh! On your ass, I say! Pooh Pooh!

That was outstanding and it's a good thing it's written down so it can become part of history. I like the idea of putting it on wikipedia where people can add other parts of the history where they were involved.

It seems to have stirred up a little controversy here and there though... :D

heh I wonder why? heh

Main drawback to putting it on Wikipedia is that anyone who... disagrees with it can go in and edit out the parts they don't like and put in their own words.

That's the best and worst thing about Wikipedia -- anyone can add to it... and anyone can edit it.

Heh I love how because Shwiggie edits everyone's posts, Tigger is declared the "winner" of the argument, even though Tigger's comments were edited as well. Funny how that works in idiot logic. heh

Yes, that's the best thing about it, that anyone can edit it, and change it, and edit it again, and revise their edits, and add whatever they want.

I started a Transformers Wiki but it died when my service provider's hard disk failed and they had no backup. Screw http://www.1uhost.com - do not use them!
