    What is the record for length of time between start and finish of an issue of Sonichu, do we know? Is not #13 the current champion at this point?

    Sonichu 11. 2010 to 2017. If Chris didn't go on hiatus it would have been finished some time in 2011.

    Would CWC have been better off had the internet never been invented?

    I know that he's now on friendly terms with Null now, and probably a bit more accepting of KiwiFarms (if only a little), but has he made any mention of his opinion of the CWCki changing? I know he randomly blocked Marvin a couple months ago or so saying that he was "too much trollble", and he's aware of who Marvin is.

    So has he said anything about still hating the CWCki or his opinion changing?

    Yes and no.

    Yes because the attention from the trolls, weens and A-logs would never have occured.

    No because OPL would never had an outlet for himself save for the few times he ventured into a Ruckesville society that already shuned him, turning him into an autistic manchild recluse.

    Despite everythung that has happened, for chris virtual interaction with the world is better than no interaction at all.

    Chris would still be doing stuff like writing Sonichu's News Dash, drawing Sonichu albeit with limited means of publishing/distribution, going to attraction locations in to find a sweetheart, and just doing the other weird stuff he used to (and may still do) in public. He would just only be known in Charlottesville and Ruckersville.

    Chris might not even be safe from trolling without the Internet existing. There's still a chance people would mess with him in real life.

    If the CWC board on Kiwi Farms gets shut down (which it very well may) do you think we'll see a bunch of users coming here to post?

    Yeah. When chris lolcows as a concept will too.
    And if he did kill it I think its lead to stagnation as a board. It's like if gamefaqs cutting out walkthroughs and faqs from the site

    I've always wondered what would happen if Chris played a Sims game. The Sims 4 looks just bright and colourful enough to hold his attention.

    Would someone legally be able to write a biography of Chris' life
    and more importantly should they?

    People can write a book about whatever they want to. Self-publishing isn't nearly as stigmatized as it used to be but the real issue is Chris suing for libel if he doesn't like it. That and a certain website full of basement dwellers fueled by tendies and a lack of self-awareness who would then harass everyone you've ever been in contact with.

    Why? Forum banana stickers.

    A meme that goes around these circles is 'let Chris be Chris' which means Chris is at his most interesting when unprovoked. They usually cite classic Chris antics as an example along with The Snyder saga, the 2manygames fiasco etc. This isn't always true and some of the really memorable 'content' was when Chris was provoked.

    The reaction to Idea Guy's antics have been negative for well justified reasons. However many of the old guard treated Chris the same using similar means Idea guy did. Sure they didn't rob Chris blind but getting Chris to destroy his PS3, shoving the medallion up his ass, etc aren't completely dissimilar.

    My question is one I've fielded before: Is Chris a byproduct of himself or the Trolls or both. If the Trolls share responsibility and even if their actions are notionally funny is it even Kosher considering what it did to Chris in the long term?

    You cite literally two instances that nobody I've seen uses as examples of classic organized trolling, unlike trip to Ohio and singstar challenge for true and honest identity of the creator of the OC. So, with that said, let's go ahead and list; Megan saga (the gold standard of sagas to this day), the entire Snyder feud, DON'T CALL ANYBODY, and (most recently) 2manygames :crash: as answers to your question covering the entire spectrum of pre, smack in the middle, and modern day post trolling examples rattled just off the top of my head of why the truism of Chris being his own worst troll will always endure because that's the answer.

    He attracts the trolls due to naivete and being an obviously easy mark, but that's an effect of his own nature's causation. Maybe his forthcoming stereotypical middle age crises will be the point where he removes his head from being firmly inserted up his own rectum, but I doubt that because he refuses to change?

    I wasn't really talking about organised trolling as much as somebody manipulating Chris to do things using his weak grasp on reality. However you're right those are two examples that work better. Perhaps I should have thrown a qualifier in there. I'll do that now.

    I wasn't trying to shame you into an edit, lol! I do really like the death of the PS3 though, because it has my favorite OPL quote in it, "Vessel of my loneliness for the past three years of anguish. I bid you ... fond ... faredieu!"

    :story:

    ETA: Also, the point I wanted to make, the underlined part is all on OPL's naivete, that's all him and the solution lies inside him not being a schmuck anymore by choice.
