LOL, he's still called Alien Boy on another forum frequented by old time AT members.

What was real creepy is when him and his alleged girlfriend would post to each other about the hot sex they had. Hell I thought it was creepy even before I knew it was a hoax.

This.

Members have been reprimanded for bringing it up, but I guess the OP is proud of it?

Not in the last few years that I have seen.

I think some of you don't understand how OFTEN he's been asked and questioned about it. I had lots of questions for him when I started talking to him years ago.

I was lurking when "nowheremom" was posting. I was lurking when it was announced she died. But I missed most of the time period around the confession and when the truth came to light. I heard about it a couple of years later. Heard hints about it on AT, but never the full story. Finally found a reference to "murderer confesses on AT" so googled that, and found the register article. I found it interesting and asked Dennis about it on other forums.

I think the same story has happened 1000s of times over. Dennis has been questioned and asked about this tons of times, so can you blame him for wanting to post something publicly that would answer questions and save him having to do it thousands of more times?

Same. I wasn't around and the thread was informative and interesting. I'll be damned if I am going to listen to a 30 minutes radio program about it, but I don't mind him posting it. If you don't like it move on. I don't like half the shit on ATOT. I deal with it and move to the next post.
 
Shouldn't DENNILFLOSS be equal to Nick Caputo???? They both ripped off the AT community in one form or another.

What is either side bitching about ?

This thread is still infinitely more interesting than 3/4's of the other threads including Rio's all-time best "What's your favorite blender speed?" ;0
 
"Nowheremom made her first appearance in October 1999. But it all started getting out of hand when he started getting approaches from other men on the forum."

I wonder if that still happens to all of the 3 women posting on these forums.

Hitting on women through a pc tech forum....rofl rofl.

same. seen in done on other forums before too, although not to that end.

some people still obviously have their panties in a huge bunch, and are hiding behind him 'wanting to be famous' as a reason for the animosity. whether he is or not, they might as well admit they are still made he did it, and not play it off as something else.

its the damn internet. its made for playing jokes on people

Doesn't happen to me at least. I used to get the occasional no0b "pics?" PM but never serious hitting on, and nothing in the recent past. ATOT's tech nerds aren't nearly as pathetic as cultural stereotype would have you assume. 🙂

I agree. A woman on here has to open herself up to getting hit on and suggest she wants for it to happen. That she is looking for it. I am sure "NoWhereMom" enticed men to hit on "her". All more part of the deceit and lies.

thankfully we don't have any attention whores like that around. I mean, can you imagine if there was a thread along the lines of "my cousin is hot... and a gamer"?

I fail to see where I am praising anything. I think this is an interesting piece of Anandtech and Internet lore, so I'm interested to read anything relating to it. I was not here when this went down, but I really do not understand why you are so outraged by people following this. Very strange. :hmm:

lol


that was a dead giveaway. no one keeps track of who seems to be doing "soul searching" on the internet. this thread is entertaining.

@AreaCode707, @meltdown75, @moshquerade

I knew it being my first post would be noticed. I opened the account to make it. I'm a fan of Jon Ronson's and the the programme looked interesting to me and that's why I was listening, and wound up here as part of "further reading". Keeping track on the internet doesn't really come into it. I'm suprised people think he would just go ahead and create a second account like that at this stage. No, no sock puppetry here.
