Not that I don't have work to do, but I love reading through those threads. I'm not even going to lie, the sleuthing that goes into that scares the shit out of me. I always try and go through my privacy settings after one of those bad boys. NOT THAT I'M CATFISHING YOU GUYS.
I'm surprised it wasn't another former BNOTBer!
Omg! If you are the catfish, I can be all, "But I met her you guys! She's totally normal!" And have everyone doubt me from now on! Lol
I seriously want to work wherever these people work who have the time to read all the threads.
*off to browse ML*
I spent all last night reading them aaaand may have read the funny parts out loud to B. He gets when board drama goes down, I might get sucked in to keeping up. Lol.
I have been on and missed all the drama but I am really surprised to see Mbeki is a catfish. She has been around forever...like 2006 or 2007 I think. She never seemed off to me.
Anyone know what the original post said that was deleted?
I believe it was a post that Cheshire posted. I read a little bit of it but I guess it went on to say that MB was previously a troll on TN, and she had a photobucket account with pictures of fellow posters, etc. I'm not a good recap person, so I could be blurring the drama even further. But the reason why it was deleted was because it had personal info on it. I dunno.
Yeah, that's pretty much the gist of it. The other night I was reading that deleted thread at home and got all the way through probably about 20 minutes before it was deleted.
Based on the photobucket account (when it was public access and the ML posters were cruising through all of the photos), there were enough ties to pin MB as former posters with similar MUD and the people that already had suspicions about her kept prying and found out what her name is based on LinkedIn, pics from the photobucket, and some address on a receipt she had in a photo. I guess because of the personal information, combined with Cheshire's request to delete the entire thread, the thing came down but I did get a good insight to how quickly those ML's can figure out who you are with a few bread crumbs left around internet-land.
I did find it creepy that MB had pics of ML posters and their children on photobucket. I'll admit I have saved a few photos posted here in the past in my own files but never uploaded them anywhere else on the Net (and never of any children).
