So of course the mature thing to do was to post a thread about it, eh?
Awesomeee, come up with something better to do.
Amanda, stop sipping on the haterade, he's a kid
Glad you can get comical enjoyment out of this site. Busting hoaxes and making folks laugh, all on a small government budget.

Funny, because they ARE a joke.

Where's the part about me being a 'psuedo-scientific troll' at?
I'm not trolling, I'm telling things like they are, if that happens to make someone mad, I do believe they're being too sensitive. I can handle jokes actually. Awesomeee, you're misinforming people about me.
He was referring to conspiracy theorist who may take my joke about this website being funded by the government seriously as far as I can tell, he wasn't directly referring to you.

Hi Amanda.
Iv been reading your posts directed at awesomeee and I have to agree with one or two things you say. However, this comment:
Awesomeee, come up with something better to do.
sounds like you are angry with him for whatever reason. Trust me, your not the only one who is beginning to be a little irritated by some of his threads, posting style and general behaviour, but you have to remember he's a twelve year old kid who is clearly petrified. I can't criticise you, iv lost my cool with him a few times, but at a certain point this looks like picking on a kid.
This thread may in your opinion be a waste of time, but frankly I'd rather awesomeee was posting light hearted humor rather than screaming for us to debunk some random garbage he's managed to dredge up from some unknown woo artist.
I'm not entirely sure why he's calling you a troll, as far as I can see you aren't. Be advised that when looking at awesomeee's posts, you may feel like punching yourself in the face, but like I said he is only a kid, I'm sure he doesn't really mean to irritate people (at least I hope not).
The great thing about science is, it's true whether you believe in it or not.
Amanda, why are you so mad at Awesomeee? Only because he posted with a sock account, "lolny233", a few days ago? He has apologized for that and that won't repeat.
If there is another reason, please say it, ok? Don't be mad at anyone just because it's a 12-year-old kid.
I'm not necessarily 'mad' at Awesomeee, as much as I am irritated. Inb4 someone says 'well don't read his posts!' - That's reasonable, minus the fact that almost EVERY post on the feed is from him..
Yes, I understand he is a supposed '12 year old' but honestly, when have you seen a 12 year old act as obnoxiously as he does? I may be criticizing too harshly, but I know I'm not the only who has thought this. Also, yes Gary A, I would rather him joke about something rather than post all these ridiculous 'DEBUNK THIS KTHX' comments on every thread.
I don't understand how he's petrified if he's calling himself a debunker, and 'taking on weather claims' as he put it..
I'm mad because this kind of behavior is ridiculous, and no one is doing anything but patting him on the back. Also for future reference, I'm not 'picking' on anyone because of their age.
I feel like punching myself in the face quite a bit while on this website, but that's a different story..
He is a kid, so he will be easily scared about something he just saw on the Internet. You know that there are many sites about 2012 with more and more claims. Any kid gets scared if she/he sees this stuff.
Unfortunately, to your misfortune, kids don't have critical thinking. And they don't have a 'stop button' in their head. Telling a kid to not post 300 posts every day is like telling a dog to not bark.
I don't understand how he's petrified if he's calling himself a debunker, and 'taking on weather claims' as he put it..
That's a different story. He debunks things based on what he knows it's a hoax. We are glad Awesomeee is helping us with pages, even if he creates 30 threads per day saying he is scared about something. ;-)
I'm mad because this kind of behavior is ridiculous, and no one is doing anything but patting him on the back.
I disagree, I think most people here at some point or another have lost patience with him and have shown as much.
He owned up to the whole "posing as his bro" thing, and he was commended for it by some people, myself included. Sure, he only did so when he was caught red handed, but who honestly at some point or another in their lives hasn't had to say "ok, it's a fair cop, I admit it"?
I agree his behaviour is erratic, but I have to ask, other than respond to his questions, what would you like us to do?

That's a story I'm interested in reading. Perhaps not here, but sounds intriguing.
I feel like punching myself in the face quite a bit while on this website, but that's a different story..
I'm willing to hear this different story you have. ;-)
That's not a story that has anything to do with this thread, lol.
It's quite obvious that you all aren't going to do anything when it comes to Awesomeee, so whatever.
There is nothing you all can do lol..
The numbers don't lie
There is nothing you all can do lol..
Other than answer his posts and tell him when he is acting silly, no, not that I'm aware of anyway. I'm open to suggestions if you have any.

Ok… Anyway, it's your story. You tell us if you want to.

What are we supposed to do?
Wow when I was 12 I was very mischievous and probably far more annoying/obnoxious (Let me just put it this way… April fools was almost every day for me, hehe) … And that was in person to boot! ;)
I think the reason he does call himself a de-bunker is because I think that he is very happy with how far he has come in his fear. I know a lot of people, including myself, at one point were very afraid of some claims, but could see how ridiculous others were. With Awesomeee maybe weather is something he thinks he can help with… I don't see a problem with it. I also think that he has learned his lesson from the whole lolny, thing. He has learned that it is OK to still be worried and ask questions, while also helping de-bunk other things and do his own research.
I don't think we're patting him on the back. Back in early April he was lectured quite a bit about his posts constantly asking everyone to debunk claims (Which, I may add he has cut that down quite a bit and has started doing research on his own) … We're not his parents, we can't lecture him constantly. We can only reach out and try to help a child in need. I know this website was created with everyone in mind, especially children. Awesomeee has said he has already told a lot of other kids online and in person about 2012hoax.org. At least he is trying to help, and not hurt like the trolls do.
I can understand what you say about too many kids posting being a disservice to this site… But if you look in the "About Me" section of the site, you can see that this website is the real deal run by folks who are experts who really know their stuff. Kids and us common folk (lol) are usually here to give reassuring words, tell stories, and sometimes post some research of our own. Most of all, we just lurk… And send this link to everyone in need.
PS: I hope that I don't have anything to do with your 'punching-self-in-the-face' story! lol 0_0

I wish I could agree with you but I suspect he was also posting as "ben10",of coarse I could be wrong, but unfortunately he's left himself open to these kind of suspicions based on his actions. Other than that I do agree with what you say, I have been guilty of lecturing awesomeee, particularly about searching the net for things that scare him, but I backed off a little when I found out he was only 12.
Personally I just want him to listen to the advice given to him here, he did some good work calming people when the whole Harold camping garbage was at it's height, so kudos to him for that. It can be a little frustrating answering him and trying to advise him, only to be ignored and faced with a brand new peice of nonsense he's managed to find.
The great thing about science is, it's true whether you believe in it or not.
Yes I agree with everything you have said, Gary. Also, I think he needed a bit of lecturing to help just snap him out of his fears… Awesomeee, if you are reading this, which I'm sure you are… We are very proud you have come so far with your fears! I know it may seem scary to hear a new claim… But just remember not to doubt yourself or the people who help you here.
Also, if it were a claim that had even a touch of seriousness, the 2012hoax.org crew would have already been all over it. I would not worry about any new claims you may come across, they usually are just the same old story rehashed, or changed up a little to get your attention.

Awesomeee did more good things than wrong things here. He helped us with the Camping stuff and created a new page on the weather, which is great, but also created a sock account, unnecessary, since we have the pleasure to answer him using the name "Awesomeee" instead of "lolny233".
Let's be honest. We all were like Awesomeee once, and we all had things in common with Awesomeee. We can't blame him by being a kid.
Alllllllllllllllllllllllllll-righty then.

Yeah Diesel, we WISH! Still waiting for the black helicopter dropping the cash.

He posted it in the off topic section because it is off topic. This section is for entertainment purposes per the rules, and that is what this is. I see nothing wrong with this, he wanted to show Moo something he found that reminded of him, a nice gesture. Nothing wrong here, move along? Yeah I think so.
“In all matters of opinion, our adversaries are insane.” - Oscar Wilde
Everyone has the right to have some fun posting nice stuff on the off topic category. Your criticism would be ok if the thread was on "Comments" or Miscellaneous".
A new thread is a new subject. And there is nowhere else to post this.
Hi all!
First off, I would like to state that I thoroughly enjoy reading this site. Secondly, being that I am mostly an "observer" here, I must say that awesomeee is doing this site a grave disservice with his shenanigans. In fact, a few people I recommended this site to have stopped reading here because of some of the playground like antics. If awesomee is only 12, perhaps it would be a good idea to have his parents help monitor his Internet activities. Just an outside observation.
I really wanted to post this response on the "Quastions" thread, but I thought it would be considered off topic.
Thanks,
Orblor
Hello, Orblor.
While I am somewhat in agreement with you, I don't think even the worst of Awesomeee's shenanigans can compare to the unbridled madness we have seen displayed by certain other individuals, for example here and here and here.
Yeah, I wish he wouldn't start so many silly threads. Yeah, I'm tired of the religious crap. Yeah, I wish he would carefully read answers he gets and stop seeking out nonsense. He's clearly irritated a few forum users — no denying that — but I have a hard time believing that multiple people who find the site as a whole beneficial would stop coming here because of one kid, but apparently haven't minded the recurring insanity of people like DD, Truthseeker and Mardyks. I've never considered his antics to be all that prohibitive, though maybe I'm just ambivalent toward Awesomeee at this point and oblivious to how he comes across to others.
In any case, thanks for your comments and for reading the site.
Hi Juju,
I think the difference is Awesomee is a regular here who wants to help you guys debunk the nonsense, yet seems to be "yanking people's chains", so to speak. He seems to be playing both sides. On the other hand, the crazies are just being crazy. Most of them seem to have a personal believe system they wish to advance. I find most of that stuff comical, and it is quite apparent to the outside readers that these people would love to see this site fail since the ops here do not wish to buy into their nonsense.
Honestly, I do not think it is a good idea for a child to spend so much time on the Internet without some parental supervision.
Thank for your insight.
Orblor
Hi orblor;
I'm also in agreement with you, and personally iv reached the end of my tether with awesomeee on more than one occasion. However, other than respond to his questions, there isn't much else anyone can do.
I can't forgive him for a suicide threat he made here that apparently was a joke all along. To me that's using emotional blackmail and he had at least two other members here genuinely worried he would do something silly, so yes, that's certainly unforgivable. His recent activity also leaves much to be desired, posting as another user and at times answering his own questions using his original screen name. Frankly I don't think it's the first time he's pulled that stunt.
I have to say despite all of this, I'd rather he stuck around, I think myself and a few others would be more than a little concerned about his well being if he no longer posted here. This site was put together to help people, first and foremost, and I think it would be pretty hypocritical to ignore a person clearly in need of help because of eccentric behaviour, especially since he is so young.
I'm hoping he listens, that's all I think he has to do, actually pay attention to the responses he gets and quit scouring the Internet looking for the next thing to scare him. All anyone here can do is advise and inform him, over an Internet connection, it's the most you can do.
The great thing about science is, it's true whether you believe in it or not.
First off, I would like to state that I thoroughly enjoy reading this site. Secondly, being that I am mostly an "observer" here, I must say that awesomeee is doing this site a grave disservice with his shenanigans.
I have to agree since it is putting a lot of unnecessary burden on all us that debunks the stuff. And trying to debunk stuff with real facts is already very tiring-some since we need to do a lot of simulations and research.
I agree, he has done a complete disservice to what Astro and Company has done. In my mind that's to provide a credible website with 100% credible scientific information to debunk or deconstruct non-credible pseudo-science. When Awesomee floods the forums with often off-topic threads and games, it makes it difficult for new viewers to find the information they're looking for.
I 100% understand that his fear is genuine. I hope that he does indeed stay, but I would like to see him tone it down quite a bit.
As long as his off topic threads go in the off topic section then there shouldn't be a problem. He just needs to refrain from doing it in other areas. People seem to be missing the point that this thread was put in the right section and was supposed to be a nice gesture/joke. Nothing wrong with this thread, so if ya'll are looking for an example of what he needs to stop doing then go post the complaint there.

Fair enough…..However, I don't want to bump an off topic thread though just to point out that it's off topic.
so if ya'll are looking for an example of what he needs to stop doing then go post the complaint there.
Tried it. Every time awesomeee posts something a bit weird, I try and point it out, as have a few others, I get the impression we would be better talking to a brick wall. Maybe he'll read this thread with the opinions of a lot of different people and take note. There's no denying it anymore, his behaviour is getting to people and if what orblor says above is true, it's putting a few people off of this site. That ain't good, and it needs to improve.
The great thing about science is, it's true whether you believe in it or not.
Hi Moo,
I'm sorry you've been ill. You haven't missed much. Things have been pretty calm in the wake of Camping's May 21 failure.
Hey moo , I got a quastion , youve been here for so much , would you like a wikidot account , If you email does not accept it make a yahoo or bigstring , or I can make one for you , because we would really like you to finally be a site member.
Or are you fine with this?

It's not that I don't have an account. It's just for some reason I can't log into it. I don't really remember what the account is, either.
All in all, I feel I can contribute just as much as a Guest, that I can as a Member. I'm fine with it. If it ever becomes an issue, I'll get it worked out.
