The weirdest place on the net

[The Zango]

While browsing the interwebz, I came upon this very interesting Cracked.com article. I've been to the site that it mentions and it is just as creepy as it seems, from 2004-2010 jamie_marsters has been the sole poster on The Bloody Board, racking up almost 40,000 posts.

You can find an Internet forum for pretty much anything, from fans of My Little Pony to people who like to get peed on by fans of My Little Pony. So at first glance, the Bloody Board, a forum for fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, seems comfortingly normal. They post tweets from former cast members of the show (mostly about how much it sucks to work at this gas station now), speculate about plot points, discuss favorite episodes and fan art -- the usual stuff. But on close inspection, something's just a little off ...

One user, "jamie_marsters" appears to be quite prolific, posting and replying many, many times a day. We suppose it's sort of creepy that she's taken the name of Buffy star James Marsters, and changed it to Jamie to imply familiarity, like an ex-girlfriend or an old babysitter might. A quick look at the profile statistics and things get much worse. Look at the number of total posts "jamie" has made:

Huh, she must be really into the community to make almost 40,000 posts. The only problem being: There's no community. There is only jamie_marsters. Scrolling through the archives reveals that there are virtually no other users, just this one, posting non stop, replying to herself, over and over again, every minute of every day for the last six years, alone inside her own dark little echo-chamber of madness.

So for conversations sake, whats your take on this mysterious corner of the net? What do you think drives Mrs Marsters to reply to her own posts for six years?

Discuss.

Uhh, I got nothing to top that. I think we all need to go outside for a bit and do something with other people.

Apologize. Guess I should have written "something", not Something. So, "something" has caused a sudden spike of interest in this forum =3.

well that was a short thread...

 

[The Last Nomad]

I was goinna reply with something from that very same cracked article...
But I have alas been ninja'd by the OP.

And I think this jaime_marsters is just batshit insane. I hope she's not on the escapist right now (Who am I kidding, she spends all her time on the buffy fan site).

Yeah, even looking at that website makes me feel depressed and alone, though that being said, it also raises my self-esteem no end. I thought I had no life...

This is what I imagine after seeing that board

 

[Hosker]

That is a really weird, and quite creepy, article. Might have to have a look.
EDIT- Looks like there's more than one user now!

Why anyone would try and seek "hell-holes" like these is beyond me. I do not wish to spend my time, online or offline, with a heartless collection of assorted male genitalia.

I also feel kinda sorry for this jamie_masters. She might be completely insane, but that's not any excuse to ruin the one thing thats keeping her alive (just guessing here, seeing as so much time is being put into that forum by her). Damn me and my emotions, they have no place on the internet >>.

Meh, I'm kinda heartless now....
