For today and for much of the next week, we shall step back to this date in 2014 for our screenshots of the day. Today's, of course, comes from June 13, 2014.
This one just made me laugh, so I'm sharing it. Weird things would happen in LMB chatrooms, particularly newbies making bizarre posts. Here, Lizaponylover193, who, according to the archive, only was active in 2014 and made a total of 36 posts, is forever remembered for the weird post Zaney is quoting. An excuse to talk about Zaney himself is half the reason I chose this one, because just remembering this stuff makes me chuckle I think I mentioned Wolfasa in one of the very first screenshots in this topic. For whatever reason, Zaney was literally obsessed with Wolfasa. He would go around reading all his posts and posting in the same topics, calling him "Master Wolfy" or something like that. Wolfasa was kind of weirded out by it. My favorite moment was when Wolfasa and I were both Conquistador I changed my avatar (and signature?) to his and Zaney thought I was him. Man the MBs were surreal
Cult-like worship on the LMBs seems to have been a pervasive issue that many of us suffered from.
True, started happening to me by the end too. Do you by chance remember "Is Keplers Voldemort"
For today's screenshot we continue our tour of June 2014 with June 14, 2014.
Here is my very first dupe account on the MBs, at the time of its creation. I put the most time into this one, and in the end amassed nearly 7000 posts as 42Varda. Retrospectively I made a lot of mistakes, but it was a fun experiment. Originally I had wanted to retire benboy755 at 100,000 posts and secretly post as Varda instead? But instead benboy ended up being banned so through late 2014 Varda was my main account. I read a lot of Lord of the Rings material to beef up a backstory about being a Lord of the Rings fan so I could start out the dupe with some legitimacy, I actually planned this for a while. I'll be posting more Varda screenshots as we go on, so I think I'll provide more commentary then.

Of course I do. It was a compelling case.

That was possibly one of my best topics Made a few good ones in community chat in 2014, I think... all about getting the likes
I don’t know whether to be flattered or disappointed by that admission. I can’t remember a lot of the topics I made, but I know there were some good ones in there…

I think it was just one of the funniest. I remember I made one about LMBs clothing?? and what people thought users looked like in real life that people enjoyed too. I think I also had an office building roleplay topic
