I think that the colorbar fad is getting wanky strong enough to count as a fandom, but I'll move this over to otf_wank if anyone would rather I did.

There's nothing there now but a C&D-ish notice from the LJ abuse team. but apparently my_solution posted some colorbars to the group. Some people compliment him in the comments. Some challenge his ownership of the bars.

Sup? Plagiarism, apparently. Pleromaboy made one of the colorbars first, and can prove it. Not only can he prove it, he's even willing to follow the troll to its cave. My_solution doesn't care, though. Neither does his sockpuppet friend _fallen, who proceeds to sneer at pleromaboy over the matter of a mod-deleted comment in the community.

Then the moderator, jessiker, steps in to ban him as long as he's okay with it. The thread kind of breaks down after Pleromaboy asks her not to delete the post, as the LJ abuse team will need it. A bunch of trolls start talking to each other, all using the "look at all this stupid blinking shit!" icon, and the whole thing gets very weird.

_fallen suddenly claims that he made the colorbars and plays the offended innocent. The thread likewise turns really weird after ekevu defends what is his.

Pleromaboy makes a snide comment about invite codes. _fallen and quasidan laugh at him, and the whole thing just kind of stops. Ah, but what a ride it was.
