I don't know, I think a lot of those old trolls also crossed the same line. I mean dutchy threatened to murder me and my family. I'm also not sure the new trolls are different people from the old ones. The only thing newish is the people who interact, usually.

Yeah, true, I get that. To GF's point, most of those trolls were, like, real people that came here for the Jazz and let themselves get carried away in other discussions where they were just acting like fools. The most recent spate of trolls seem intent on trolling exclusively for the sake of trolling and throwing any **** they could against the proverbial wall to see what sticks. Not that past behavior was acceptable, and the bans were definitely deserved, but it feels different to me at least when you know it is coming from an actual person who let themselves get carried away vs someone whose sole intent is vitriol and denigration for their own amusement. Factory trolls vs real people behaving badly? Idk. Just feels different in this latest bunch.

Yeah there was a lot of shenanigans and posters with beef with other posters all the way back. I think that personally I was less directly involved and/or had much less emotional investment in the conflict back then.

I would be interested to know if some of our most recent trolls had any presence in the Jazz section, even if that is only reading threads there. I get the feeling that some of the people recently have strictly come here to engage in vitriolic political/cultural trolling. I think a lot of it gets attributed to alts, but I'm always hesitant to make that assumption. I think it's very likely that some Jazzfanz posters are also active on other political forums and might link our discussions here on their forums which directs some of those people here with the sole purpose of mixing things up in those specific threads.

I've wondered if it would be beneficial to have some sort of requirement that a certain portion of a posters activity here take place in the Jazz forum so that at the least we have our jazz fandom in common. I think that wouldn't work though and would just encourage trolls to infest the Jazz forum with spam to get their quota filled so that they can come back and continue trolling the general forum.

Yeah, I definitely don't want them in the Jazz Forum.
 
This thread got me thinking. I've been on here for around 17 or 18 years. Wow, I've been cringy, dumb, and overall terrible at times. But I've also made some friends and been a little more willing to post whatever about life then pretty much anything else from the internet. I had an account on here long before Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat. I guess it's an okay community. I'll be in Utah after Christmas. It would be nice to do a meetup again. Unless the Jazz are sucking *** at that time.

How many remember back when the group informally known as “The STG” was around. Are any of them still active?

You talkin' about dalamon, Dr. Jones, UGLI and Chris-L? Trout sort of joined that gang, too. You could also say that Stoked was included. I discovered that I was not in the cool kids club after thinking that maybe I was.

I assume their leader eventually told them that jazzfanz was lame so they all went away overnight.

How are you gonna be in the STG crew without being from STG? I mean, there was a Canadian, but that was about it.

Well, I'd say the STG crew was a subset of the UGLI forum gang.

Dr. Jones lived in St. George, Chris-L was from around there, maybe Cedar City. Stoked moved into the area and Dr. Jones used JF to recruit UGLI and Trout to work for him there. They all had a massive man crush on Dala, so he was an honorary member.

So, basically there was a core of three, Dr. Jones, UGLI Baby and Dalamon. Everyone else was an accessory to that core.

That was the crew "in charge" when I came back from my 1.5 year hiatus. Back when they used rep and basic harassment to bully people. Seriously a jr high school locker room clique. Not even as subtle as trolling. Just straight up harassment.
