This forum is a magnet for weirdos, like that guy who goes for drives in random people's (same model) cars every other day & keeps a check of every one he has been in & even remembers the dates he drove them

That thread reminds me of that movie where Jack Nicholson types the same sentence over and over again for the length of an entire book

This is place is full of weirdos. Which is frustrating, as when I tried to troll by acting like a mentally deranged person, nobody thought I was out of place

It also reminds me of a creepy Internet legend, which was true, about a thread on a forum where one user was basically talking to herself every day for 3/4 years. Then somebody posted in the thread to ask what she was doing, and then she deleted her account and never posted again.

It's true though, you can never really tell if someone is trolling on here because there are so many odd forum members

Creepy, wonder what happenes to her. I heard one person had a forum where they made all the topics and the posts and were essentially talking to themselves all the time and this forum was full of thousands of posts of the person just talking to themselves

This is crazy, that WilliamBrantley poster makes an entirely new post everyday like a clockwork.

Somebody even commented to ask if he was a bot. He uses the same format all the time, posts every single day at a similar time, and is interested in a very specific climatic subject. This has gone on for years, but you got to hand it to him, he sure is dedicated!

The weird thing is that he perseveres despite very few people taking any kind of interest. There were some people who followed the thread in the early years, but that waned over time.

There was once a guy who pretended to be a woman with a disorder or something and he developed an entire backstory around it, it's really crazy that the levels this dude went to. I can't find the exact story but it was basically a psychologist who pretended to be a woman with some disease or disorder online to try and sympathise with other women on a chat forum and he got really addicted to his online alter-ego.

The Internet is full of mysteries.

10 Creepy Internet Mysteries That Will Freak You Out

The one about the guy hacking into NASA was on the news a lot here, and I'm sure the reason he wasn't extradited to America had something to do with humanitarian grounds based upon his autism, I think Theresa May was the person who blocked it when she was Home Secretary. Although I can't remember all the details.
