Okay so apparently this happens if you have the Pinterest "pin it" browser extension installed. The extension adds the link to the bottom of every post you make, but it is styled to be hidden. The app ignores the style stuff, so it is visible from there.
@elliearroway can you explain how you knew Hawkeye's ip address from tn? Just curious.
I didn't.
eta: Her IP matched the hawkeye account that was created here 2 years ago. When I looked at all of the members matching her IP, the only name on the list that I recognized was hawkeye but I couldn't remember why. I glanced through the hawkeye posts and one of the first ones was a reference to the infamous fat shaming post, which made me remember why I knew her.
Three MMers had a threesome with a male prostitute and did some coke off someone's penis. One of the participants bragged about it on MM, then it blew up, then other boards were talking about it, then mods DDd and then boards blew up over the DD?
All I can say is this is the most unMM I have ever heard of an MMer being! I hope all the involved parties had well endowed efunds before they blew money on hookers and blow!
lol see, this is why you do not dd! the rumors are so much more exciting than the reality.
I didn't see the original, but as I understand it:
3 MMers have a GTG in NYC. They somehow end up hanging out with 2 random dudes. At least one of them does coke with the guys, then they leave when the guys start getting "handsy."
Poster #1 shares the story in a confessions thread, but doesn't say who was there. Poster #2 responds to the same thread to corroborate the story. Poster #3 freaks out (privately) because her DH is a lurker and she has not told him what happened. Poster #1 deletes the original confession. (It was only up for like 10 minutes I think.)
ML recaps what was deleted. Poster #1 reports the ML thread and it is deleted.
ML freaks out because of mod overreach. A fun game of telephone begins. Now there are prostitutes and meat missiles involved.
I'm positive her name said jenny last night, but they were calling her Gothgirl, and now it just says .
Yeah the original name was jenn or something. Then when she didn't get a reaction here she changed the name to GothChick and posted on SO and ML. Then when those boards also ignored her she changed the name to . and deleted everything.
There was a third MMer at the GTG who has not been named. After the confession was shared, it was revealed that the third person's husband lurks on the boards. He knows that she was at the GTG but he does not know what happened. If he read the confession he would know, since he knew his wife was with the OP that night.
Only some are calling BS since a third poster was never mentioned until Ellie called poster 2 out for changing her story and throwing Ellie under the bus for deleting.
ETA Bs on the posters not Ellie.
I actually think the third person story is true. I reread the original PM I got about the mess and it says "our other accomplice's husband.." That definitely implies more than two people.
No reason to delete this. It is all over GBCN at this point anyway.
There is a term for this phenomenon, where trying to delete something flameworthy results in it becoming exponentially more popular than it would have been if you had just left it. It is driving me crazy that I can't remember it. It was named after a celebrity who tried to get something removed from the internet and it backfired, right? Help me out here.
Streisand?
Yes! Thank you! The Streisand Effect. I have been trying to think of that all morning.
EllieArroway, if you have to delete this too, I don't care. Just don't tear gas me.

EllieArroway - what is the "very good reason"? I am having a hard time believing that, because of it was that important, don't post! But also, it must be an incredible reason to get every thread talking about it deleted, too. That seems like BS.
Would telling the reason be too identifying?

A confessions thread was deleted on MM.
ML recapped the original MM thread, naming names.
The original MM poster requested that the ML thread also be removed, and it was.
I don't yet know how I feel about that post being deleted. It probably should not have been, but it was a gray area. Of course deleting it caused a shitstorm and now more people know about the original thread than ever. The original MM poster has a very good reason to want everything deleted.

Oh nice so your plan is to throw the admins under the bus here? Either you lied to us or you are lying to everyone else. Stop making it look like we are just making shit up.

I actually missed the first post so I have no idea how it went down. I was just around for the fallout. Obviously poster #2 can't shove the cat back in the bag at this point but I understand why she wants to. People always try to frantically delete everything they've ever done here when they are found, and most of the time the stuff they are trying to hide is a lot more mundane than this.
Her husband knows anyway, per the OP of the original coked-out dramz post (she said so in this thread), so there is nothing to secure or have to cover up. No real names are posted.
Unless the accomplices (not sure what else to call her so she will be accomplice until a better descriptor comes up) husband doesn't know, but knows she was out with the op so he will put two and two together All I can think of. So op's husband "knows" but accomplice's husband doesn't
Can we talk about how every time I get in the car lately, Summer of 69 is playing on the radio somewhere? And how this is a vast improvement over my last pregnancy when I could not escape Come Sail Away (which is only one of the worst songs fucking ever, sorry, not sorry.)
Summer of 69 might be Canada's greatest export.
They can take back everything else Bryan Adams ever did though.
Heaven was my everything when I was younger. I don't care how bad it is now, I can't give it back.
So people who start drama or stir shit up always get checked on by you???
Wow. Ok.
I know we are way past this now but I realized that this whole "Wow." response probably means that people think that me "checking on" someone is a lot more nefarious than it is.
To "check on" a member I literally click on the moderate option then choose Members by IP. I am not like hunting down home addresses or calling employers or anything. Proboards checks your IP every time you log in, and any time two members log in with the same IP it is logged. All I do is look at that log to see if any other members have logged in with the same IP as the current member. Please don't think I am some sort of scary super spy hunting down personal info about people here.
eta: log log logging logged log. the word has lost all meaning to me now.
I do not for one minute think this is a valid concern. I can count on one hand the amount of times Ellie has linked one IP address with another and it has never been in the case of a questioning or confessing AE.
I have no doubt Ellie understands and respects the difference.
I didnt write that very well but i agree when it comes to Ellie... part of her being a genuine and sincere person. But there are more mods/admins than i pay attn to so while i kight not worry about it from Ellie in particular it is now a sense of unease for me in general.
But now, even if I ever did want to come back later as another screen name, obvs I can't.
People come back with new screen names ALL THE TIME. Until tonight I had no clue that you had done so. Come back with a new name if you want. As long as you don't go completely insane I would never have a clue.
But stop acting like this was all a big misunderstanding. You purposefully started drama. It was not the first time that you have done so. Get out of here with that doe-eyed innocence act. When I see a relatively new name stirring up shit I do check to see who they are, because it is always someone. Newbies do not roll in making a splash. It's always an old member reincarnated. Always.
I appreciate that you are always consistent no matter why the person is being outed. You would probably be a much better admin than I am. I don't have the ability to stay above the fray like a real leader probably should.
I hope that's not snark. You are a great admin. I'm not mad or whatever. I probably need to be drunker for this thread right? Lol. THERES NO BOOZE IN MAH HOUSE.
No snark! For real! I'm totally not the right person for this job. It accidentally fell into my lap but it probably should have gone to someone much more capable. I do like to shit stir from time to time. And I do like to out trolls and I don't even feel sorry about it like 85% of the time. Including now. Probably not the best qualities for an admin to have.
At least you have y4m to fall back on when I am inevitably beheaded. She is remarkably restrained in situations like these. I don't know how she does it.
