** [[GameFAQs]]' Current Events board also had one a few years ago on Cinco de Mayo when the same administrator made a topic titled that said something along the lines of special announcement for this board. Earlier in the day, someone made an account suicide with a porn video that managed to max out its posts with 500. Soon after someone else posted the same video and also got 500 posts. A third attempt at the same only managed a couple of hundred posts. This, along with the similarity to the topic that announced that another board was being locked to newcomers, made it seem like bad news. The content of the posts was "500-topic Go Go Now." (Doubtfully verbatim). Later that night, the board broke the website record for fastest 500 topic. Less than a minute and a half.

* A few years ago, when he was but a noob, [[User:Moogi]] was once involved in a message board discussion that was going nowhere. The conversation got boring quickly, so in order to make things interesting, I - in the course of a single post- turned the entire thread into a space opera war epic RP. The battle went on for over a week, dividing the board into warring factions amid much hilarity. Sadly, shortly after the battle ended, the entire forum [[Jumped the Shark|completely lost its sense of humour]], and within a month or so, I never went there again.

* Roleplaying a game of ''[[Paranoia]]'' on IRC. The character in question had the secret mutant ability to melt objects he touched. Thanks to the good-natured douchebaggery of the DM playing Friend Computer, the character was saddled with the annoying rank of "Team Groomer", having to make sure his teammates were properly hygienic. After one of his fellow teammates got close to murdering the head of the underground rebellion group he was secretly apart of, he used his title of Team Groomer to help the teammate by fixing his ruffled hair - And then pressed his hand onto his head and melted his brain.

** This troper's first, and so far only, game of ''Paranoia'' ended with Friend Computer self destructing and taking all of Alpha Complex with it, due to being given about six different and mutually exclusive instruction disks at roughly the same time. Then there was the fun with the 'mutant detector' device at the beginning...If someone gives you a black box with a single button ''do not'' press it unless you wish to get shot.

* This troper once stumbled upon a post by [[Small Name, Big Ego|John Byrne]] on his forum Byrne Robotics about what is wrong with modern comics (possibly targeted at a specific writer, the details are lost to history), which I responded to on the [[Super Dickery]].com forums, point by point, pointing out how each one was either asinine or, in most cases, hypocritical, as he's ''infamous'' in the comic book industry for doing them himself. I accidentally started a war between [[Super Dickery]] and Byrne Robotics, where several other people on the board went onto the forum under fake names and posted various insulting things, often ''the post I had originally made itself.'' The best part? Everybody on [[Super Dickery]] ''hated me'' for various reasons; at this point there was an ongoing debate as to whether it was more appropriate to rape me ''before'' or ''after'' they killed me. But damn it, they followed me into battle.
