Old Timers - Best GFY Hoaxes?
 

What were the best GFY hoaxes?

Can you find the threads?

There has been some really comical shit here and some funny hoaxes. Some that seemed like hoaxes but probably weren't - like that Stephen Takaks episode - the retarded body builder kid who was thin as a rail... where his dad showed up and started posting.

I vaguely remember some comedy with someone posting as an attorney for McDonalds over some use of pics in a thread.

Boneprone has done (or been accused of) some good ones

Anyone remember any of the good ones?

does squishypimp count as a hoax?

the sheep banner was good.

The $20k+ hoax NoCarrier pulled on us all was pretty good.

Not really "hoaxes" but pulling the wool over GFYers eyes:

Shitman (I think that was GFY - may have been YNOT)

And the chick who organized the Christmas gift exchange, got someone who asked for an ipod and sent them a picture or an empty box or something - NOT an ipod.

And Boneprone has had some incredible aliases.

ha... yeah, i don't know if his intention was to end up on the Canadian nightly news with that stuff.

i barely remember details. he claimed his kid had cancer and asked for money... and his kid didn't really have cancer or was suddenly "OK" or something.. then the shit storm.. then he dissappeared?

hey!! :)

trying to remember some of Boneprones. I was just talking to someone about this on ICQ and started trying to remember some of the really funny ones.

how have you been?

The hidden rick roll links I posted first when every one thought A1RK had been banned and the other one were you couldent shut the browser down because the rick roll bounced all over the place then lots of people complained and called me a fucking idiot

Doing well - spend more time on the Russian's board than here and we miss you there.....hint hint :winkwink:

I think the SleazyDream launch of YesSignals.com hoax was probably up there with the biggest...

where is the free pornos?

xenigo: good call

that and alienq/amp coming back over and over again claiming they found themselves and are normal now. Then losing control of themselves badly within 2 weeks and never being able to stabilize themselves. Not so sure those are hoaxes per say but fucking funny none the less

The Stephen Takacs thread was hilarious even if a bit crude since he was clearly mentally disabled. I do think it was a fake nick posting as his dad, but Stephen and his site were indeed real. His site no longer exists, but I think the original story started here, http://www.muscleforum.co.uk/showfla...=&fpart=1&vc=1

The Lorenzo Lamas fake nick getting all bent out of shape during the Paris Hilton Crackberry leaked photo escapade drama was pretty damn funny. :1orglaugh

And then there was the sad passing of Pathfinder...whom we are reminded of constantly courtesy of TheKing. :disgust

My all-time favorites (that I can recall at the moment) were BroMaster, and the FuckMeCash sponsor program... :thumbsup

No Carrier got away with a shitload of money with his son's cancer hoax, glad I didn't get fooled

what was the deal with that?

did he really have a kid that was sick? i mean, was it something started with good intentions and a real cause that went sideways? he collected a lot of money and it turned out his kid was fine but the money dissapeared?

you were interviewed by the media about it if i recall?

a really long time ago I remember a story/thread/pics about AaronM or someone getting arrested in Mexico and an elite team of webmasters went in navy seals style to rescue him.

It was too many years back but someone posted a iFrame in their post which caused some panic on the board, it was made to look like this person had access to the root of our computers, this was 6 yrs or more back :)

That's exactly how I think it went down. His son was diagnosed with a condition, he panicked and went to GFY immediately before awaiting more medical evaluations or going to his family and friends for help. He assumed he was going to need treatment in the USA and it would cost him a fortune. Turned out he didn't need to and his Canadian insurance covered most of the cost and his son's condition turned out to be not as serious as initially thought. Last I remember his son was doing well.

I would venture to say he's posted here under another nick. At the time this happened he had been posting here constantly every day. Then the big rally to raise money started and upon completion he stopped posting almost instantly, that's what gave people a very uneasy feeling.

That sounds like the work of Smokey, he's done a few tricks on the forum that were hilarious. He used to find several vulnerabilities in the forum software and would exploit them when gfy didnt listen to him about fixing them.

Yeah I'm not sure who posted it but it made me look twice, browsing the board and low and behold there is the root of my computer showing on the board, directories files everything he he, took a bit to finally figure out what it was :) it was back when iFrame was still new!!

I was never interviewed but to best of my knowledge it was bullshit andhe did collect over 20k. He argued a but about it and then dissapeared.

And turns out his father was a rich banker ........

That shit drives me crazy.

I'm fortunate enough not to have been taken by any fakers that I'm aware of and I;ve donated my fair share of money over the years to people in need- some of which posted and are no longer with us anymore. :(

There have been so many scammers out lately- GFY and Elsewhere- it's really left me jaded.

LOL That one was a good one!

The Manny The Freak threads were legendary also :)

I liked it when TheFly made up some contest and offered prizes from a bunch of people without even telling them. Then when people wanted to collect their prizes they found out it was all made up.

What a piece of shit Pete The Fly was.

:1orglaugh

pathfinder one comes to mind also, I atleast think It's a hoax.

boneprone has several lol.

Some guy called JR has probably pulled one or 2 too is my guess :upsidedow

I was just looking back at some of his threads the other day. I didn't know him well enough to know whether or not he was a piece of shit... I actually respected the level of success it appeared he achieved.

I did recall thinking his "leaving the industry" e-book was kinda odd.

So was he as successful as he made himself out to be?

From what I understand his success was perceived and not actual. Someone that knew him better could correct us.

Aaron in jail was one of my favorite ones. It's hard to say, there have been many crazy situations over the years.

Stinky has pulled a few over the years...

The Stickyfingerz "Gold Bar" promo comes immediately to mind:

http://www.stickyboxbucks.com/images/goldpromo.jpg

Of course, no one was ever paid any gold, and Stinky never provided proof that the gold ever even existed... :1orglaugh

On another occasion, when he was caught lying and stealing (according to the employer that terminated him), Stinky bought him a video camera...although according to his now Ex-GF, he actually charged it to her credit card.

ADG

AaronM being thrown in a Mexican jail was pretty good. I can't believe how well that one went over.

ah... ahaha.. i remember that stuff. where you could see your own c drive content. that was some funny shit.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

i think that was Smokey

Nobody had better pranks and April 1st tricks, and GFY hoaxes then my good friend Steve Lightspeed.

Over the years, he has had the best here!

Wonder if you will talk shit directly to my face when we one day meet. If anyone would of made sales to get the gold they would of got it. Do you have any proof to show otherwise? Did anyone complain they did not get gold that earned it? Keep my name off your lips you old tied dyed hippy douche bag. What employer terminated me? Are you talking about Brad? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh He NEVER employed me. He brought me on on a commission basis and HE STOLE that camera from me. He got every penny he was supposed to PLUS a 1400.00 camera that was supposed to be used to shoot HD asian content for a site we partnered up on. Ask Tampa Toker who he believes now me or Brad.

Please let me know your show schedule you will be going to this year. Ill make it a point to be at at least 1 show you are this year. Ill give you plenty of opportunity to talk your little shit talks to me to my face. Her "credit card" had a co signer on it to help her get credit douche bag. We used the 0% on it when we got the camera and paid it off. Again please let me know what shows you are attending this year. Don't take that as a threat either. Im just giving you opportunity to voice your very vocal opinion about me to my face. Seems you are VERY interested in what I do, so its only fair I let you meet me in person. :thumbsup

:1orglaugh

John Travolta was pretty funny also.

Rhino22's fake ferrari. I think it was Rhino22, my apologies if not.

please fill this out.
