Harry Potter "Pre-Wank"
Looks like the infamous http://www.gryffindortower.net (best known for spawning a few stalkers and being an all around nasty group of vindictive fandomers) is closing up shop. They've posted a lovely little explanation both here and here.

They give the reason that there has been some disharmony among their ranks. There is mass de-friending between the so-called Queens of Harry/Ginny and one (almost)feels sorry for the one they blame for all of this unhappiness, [info]firebolt909 who seems to be no longer with us. (I believe the best part is Paula declaring that the other Queens require medication. Although [info]tartanboxers admits this much is true on her LJ.)

My apologies for not seeing the humor in the current situation. Quite honestly, and I've been wanting to say this for a VERY long time, I think that you've all lost your f***ing minds...every last one of you.

I want no part whatsoever to do with GryffindorTower anymore, as I am just way past being sick and tired of this sort of thing, and unlike the rest of you, a bit too mature for this sort of thing.

I wish you all the best and hope that you all will find the courage to seek the medical attention that you all so obviously need.

Paula


So, she's locked them out, since she is the one who had originally registered the site. Well, you know what they say. What goes around comes around. Looks like the exterminator has paid these "Roaches" a little visit.

ETA: Looks like the angry H/G Queen has locked them out of their message boards and now authors can no longer recieve reviews. Nasty little roach, that one is.

(A little background info on the Roach thing. They took on that title themselves after one of their infamous kerfuffles with the rest of the entire fandom after flourish gave them that nickname.)

My my my... I wonder what's actually going on here? Because as it is I have no fucking clue. So... something happened... and there was a falling out.. and someone got defriended?

Even if this isn't inherently wanky, I can't wait to see what will happen. Because the wank WILL come.

You don't allow anonymous posts in your journal. Um, makes it pretty hard to leave a message without code.

I was waiting for this to show up...

At 11:30pm on the 19th September 2003, the death knell sounded for Gryffindortower.net. The exact details are messy, convoluted and largely irrelevant in the light of the greater picture but, needless to say, sides were taken, battle lines were drawn, and friendships were destroyed. The battleground was SQL and PHP, the weapons were passwords, tech support and administrative privileges, and the combatants were people who should never have had to go to war with each other. Sadly, the casualty was Gryffindor Tower.

::looks up at post::

Sorry to point this out, but I think you're kind of bringing the wank here, instead of pointing out the wank elsewhere. (Because after reading the GT community post, they have not yet begun to wank.)

Considering this is f_w, this sort of thing may be expected, but making fun of someone's clinical depression is pretty damn low.

I think I would agree with you if these weren't the same people WITCH HUNTING every person in the fandom who dared to disagree with them and calling them insane on public message boards and LJ's.

Yes, being clinically depressed myself, I thought that. Especially since the post in question seemed to have nothing to do with the issue at hand - and even if it did, well, fan kerfluffles are stressful sometimes, and depression makes them more difficult to cope with.

The farewell message alone, with the battle analogies and swelling melodrama, is in and of itself almost mindbogglingly wanky.

How can they be gone!? So much potential wank disappeared in an instant! So many flamewars that will never see the light of day! So many watchful_entity clones who now have no excuse to troll! So many nutty Christians without a place to hide!

As of now (9:35PM PST), it's still there, at http://www.gryffindortower.net/Library/Anya/naked1.htm . If I were you, I'd grab it before it's too late.

OMG LET US MAKE A BIG HUGE STATEMENT THAT DOESN'T ACTUALLY SAY ANYTHING AND ONLY VAGUELY ALLUDES TO WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AND WHO WILL FEEL OUR PAIN NOW????????

This is like someone leaving a message board, only way, WAY funnier. I also like how they pointed immediately to a scapegoat. That was classy.

Speaking as one who has in the past suffered at the hands of the GT mods I can only say good riddance! They no doubt brought it on themselves.

Actually, that's a misunderstanding of what Marian said. The poster said they lost their dad six weeks ago, she replied by saying that she's lost her mom, her dad, her kids watched their grandma have a stroke, something like that. So she knew suffering and she is suffering now.

Still pretty wanky, to try to out-do someone's suffering like that, but still not as insanely mean as was phrased in the above post.
