Oh the thick plottins!
Previously, on Moonlight: Busgate 2008:

In the last episode, the Moonlight kerfluffle, (reported here in the original wank report) we had $11k missing and people demanding answers for it. For a dramatic week, people wondered if there'd ever be an end to it all.

Finally, we get some relief as Leeser's payment goes through and kayspleen reports that she is satisfied.

But it's not over yet... dun dun dun!

Tonight's episode thickens the plot as the Moonlight Line Bboard falls into a sinkhole of drama.

First, we have mysterious mods logging in during the wee hours of the night, banning hundreds of IP addresses.

Then, in a dasterdly twist of events, we present a subplot to the Busgate drama: Deletathon! Where dozens of threads and fanfic offices suddenly go missing.

MLL members go into a frenzy of posts when they realize it. But moderator (and child of Leeser, to boot) Kate posts to make sure everyone realizes what a non-issue all of it is, just like $11k is a measly two months rent in CA.

Quote: Concerning the users that have been banned/posts deleted/etc... We have decided, as a whole that trolling is NOT allowed on this board and we'd finally take action against it. This whole mess started from people bitching that an ad wasn't up fast enough, so when it was finished, as planned already... All there was was bitching about how Leeser had to be a scammer/etc. I, for one am tired of seeing people try to stir the pot on one non-issue, and when that issue is struck down, they just move on.

Then the burnings bannings begin, the first to go being anyone logical and persistent. Yet, mysteriously, anyone supporting Leeser can get away with, well, everything.

Cut scene to the fanfic sector again and we have edit buttons disappearing and the fanfic writers no longer able edit or delete their work!

In a dramatic cliff hanger ending, rijane makes an ominous threat if Leeser doesn't cough up the fake vials of blood she promised to the winners of the Golden Fang Awards.

Quote: Unless I see a tracking number for the vials or other replacement items that are in the mail to my house, I'm making a phone call, a phone call that will make Leeser VERY unhappy.

Got it, Leeser?

Yeah. That's a threat and you know I can carry it out.


Leeser has promised payment, but rijane is demanding a tracking number, or else!

Will rijane and the other winners ever see their vials? Will the board implode under the weight of all the drama? Will Leeser ever cough up any explanations for anything? Will Kate post again on any other non-issues? Will the fanfic writers gain access to their fanfic again?

Stay tuned, true believers, for the next episode of Moonlight Line: Busgate 2008, Electric Boogalo!

Disclaimer: There is no way one can possibly write this up and get ALL the links available on this. I cherry picked what I thought were the best tidbits of this on going drama that's getting huge enough to rival Godzilla.

ETA the first!: Even the Germans are smelling something foul.

And let's not forget the propeller story, for it has tasty details as well. Thank you killer_gopher.

ETA's mother's cousin's best friend's ex-girlfriend's dog's chew toy: Flashback scene! Leeser apparently tried to run her own church and PRE-SCHOOL.

ETA So what does that make us?: Ads are up!

ETAs galore. cleolinda, how in the world did you keep up with this?

Another flashback to a time when Leeser was more godlike.

The proposed ad itself.

Another mod flees from the board.

Some of the snowflakes have realized the error of their ways.

Rijane is in a car accident, and we blame Leeser somehow.

More questions that likely will never get answers.

Today's ETA is... elizabuff goes right back to wanking. Anyone surprised?

And another large ETA: Leeser's school was apparently just another scam.
