I've decided to share an early "Alex manifesto" that's never been posted publicly before, from December 9 2008, in which he outlines his initial thoughts on Cracky and the "crackyverse" as a whole. I really do think this is worth reading. I attempted to contact him to confirm if he's okay with this being shared, but as he could not be reached for comment, I'm forced to make the assumption that he probably would be okay with it.
08:40
TL;DR: 1. cracky = "sallow, androgynous and quasi-infantile" 2. crackyfags = Gnostics 3. Alex = better than you 4. Unironic usage of the phrase "Japanese animes"

CH was still pretty new when I "retired", and I didn't see too much of it because just keeping up with Wish + .71 + all the behind-the-scenes drama took up most of the free time I had.

12:12
oh, it's from Wish v2
anything 23-Jun-20 12:14 PM
I can guess which side of the argument he was on
12:18
The day I went into retirement, I still had admin access on Wish, so I took the site down without outright deleting anything so Rob could put it back up if he wanted to (which he did at some point). But my finger hovered over the delete key for several minutes before I pussed out. It would have been a violation of trust. But I was in a really bad place and the temptation was there.

I'm going to assume that "TrollTalk" on that tarot thread was probably directed at me. Maybe somebody who didn't know my name, or didn't want to say it since I didn't use it in "public"

oh? I didn't know any of the copypastas had known authors
anything 20-Sep-20 04:50 PM
Speaking of which, I'm looking back at my 2005 IRC logs with Denis and he claimed to know who wrote "so fucking cute and sweet". Somebody going by the name "Pfeizer" took credit for it on April 9th 2005 (on 4chan I assume):
16:50
<cmcpher> That cartoon series seems to be made by an anti-fan. <smott> i know who wrote the text version <smott> not sure about the comic <cmcpher> What text version? <smott> the She's so cute and sweet text <cmcpher> Oh. I was talking about the "Cracky Chan Anon" comic series, not the "Guro". <smott> ah <smott> i'm not sure about that guy <cmcpher> But who wrote "she's so fucking cute and sweet... they will be scarred for life"? <smott> >> Pfeizer 04/09/05(Sat)19:23 No.5522 <smott> As a Cracky fanartist, I approve of this. Nice comic. I especially like how she died in the tub since I wrote a short story about her dying in a tub (with some assistance). <cmcpher> He could be attempting to take credit for the work of another. <cmcpher> It happened on Trolltalk all the time. <smott> not sure <smott> it would fit his personality
16:51
He must have had at least some knowledge of "Pfeizer" besides just seeing that one posted, based on the "it would fit his personality" note
16:51
going to search archives for Pfeizer out of curiosity but I don't remember seeing it anywhere

No archive hits for Pfeizer other than my own IRC logs. That's really interesting... assuming that Pfeizer wasn't lying about being the author of "cute and sweet", that's a bit of history / trivia I've been sitting on for 15 years without realizing it.

anything 20-Sep-20 05:05 PM
I don't know if I posted this or not but it's an e-mail he sent her after the SCM LJ was found: <oof> From: someone <someone@elatae.net> <oof> To: scarecrowmaiden@livejournal.com <oof> Subject: Bleh, 2nd try <oof> Date: Thu, 12 May 2005 15:14:01 -0700 (Fri, 00:14 CEST) <oof> Mailer: Mutt/1.3.28i <oof> assuming you do not want to be known as cracky-chan then it would probably be a <oof> good idea to get rid of the following: <oof> http://www.livejournal.com/users/scarecrowmaiden/347462.html?thread=1808454#t1808454 <oof> cameras put various data about the photos you take into the images files and <oof> the cracky-chan pictures just happen to have been taken by the same camera. <oof> the blood2.jpg picture looks almost identical to one of the cracky-chan pictures <oof> in the unoaX.jpg files you have the same wrist-watch as cracky-chan <oof> should I go on?

I like you a lot. <oof> Ever since I saw your pictures on 4chan I thought you were <oof> incredibly beautiful. Unlike most people, you look like beauty <oof> comes naturally to you, without any effort and I think that <oof> that is just amazing. I've tried to forget about you at various <oof> points in the last few months, but it hasn't worked. Now that your <oof> livejournal account has been found I saw that you are also an <oof> interesting and fun person, so I'm asking you honestly if you would <oof> be kind enough to tell me if you are still on livejournal and what <oof> your account name is. I just want to be able to check that you are <oof> still alive and well and maybe see what you are up to occasionally, <oof> else I'll always wonder what became of you and if you're still OK. <oof> Please?

anything 20-Sep-20 06:22 PM
Maybe or maybe the bottom one is the real one she was talking about on LJ & the one with the heavier marker is a replica she did?
18:27
The heavy marker ones with the black nail polish don't have EXIF data (my copies, at least). The light marker / green fingernail / green armband one has the usual "u-miniD,Stylus V" EXIF but no "date taken" ... in fact I think that camera might not have had a clock because I don't think anything taken with it has a "date taken" field

Who was the "21 year old [in 2005] not-too-bright brazilian girl" who was friends with her?

he was contacting this Brazilian girl to try to get in contact with her... I guess it worked?
18:42
or it didn't work but he did something else that did
18:42
and in retrospect it's obvious he's talking about Deadjournal

<smott> actually your superior bullshitting ability might be useful right now <smott> you see, i've established contact with a good friend of olivia's <smott> where established contact = exchanged 10 words and gotten her to email me <smott> now i'm not sure what to do next <smott> help me out then <cmcpher> Okay. <smott> her friend is a 21 year old not-too-bright brazilian girl <smott> if that helps <cmcpher> Okay. <smott> right well basically i need to ask her about olivia in a way that doesn't make me sound like a complete idiot <cmcpher> It can't happen soon. You'll have to build a relationship first. Establish trust. Make real conversation. <smott> oh uhm <smott> i guess it's kind of too late for that <cmcpher> What happen ?? <smott> i kind of said i had something to ask her <cmcpher> Well, hmm. <cmcpher> This is a bit of a puzzler... <cmcpher> I'm conflicted. You could either ask her something else, and then work on establishing regular communiction. Or you could go ahead & get it over with, although I'm going to have to ponder exactly how that could be done. <cmcpher> Did you know Brazil speaks Portuguese, not Spanish? <smott> i was vaguely aware of the fact yes <cmcpher> Pump It Up is really big in Brazil. I think last year's world championship was there. But anyway. <cmcpher> What is the context of the interaction with her? You just e-mailed her to ask if you could ask her a question? <smott> no <smott> she didn't list her email address in her journal <smott> so i had to get an account first, which meant getting an invite code <smott> which was difficult because i don't know any goths <cmcpher> This is not Livejournal, then. <cmcpher> Xanga? Myspace? Deadjournal? <smott> one of those, yes <cmcpher> Continue. <smott> so i commented in her journal that i wanted to talk to her <smott> and left my email <smott> and now she has emailed me <smott> --
18:59
<cmcpher> So how important is this to you? I think you'll have better chances if you establish communication & turn her into an ongoing source which can be occassionally milked for information. Trying to do this by e-mailing one question would run a high risk of failure, even if you could think of a good way to pull it off. I'm not getting any good ideas offhand; I'd have to sleep on it. <cmcpher> Do we presume that she knows about Lia's recent trials & tribulations? <smott> yes <cmcpher> What is the nature of their relationship? <smott> how am i supposed to know? <cmcpher> I don't know what you know and what you don't since I know nothing of the circumstances involved. But you somehow seem to know what they're friends of some sort. <smott> i'd say they were good friends <cmcpher> Internet only or meatspace? <smott> well she's in brazil. <smott> but they might've met sometime <cmcpher> So you only know that they know each other, but aren't really clear on the details of how. <smott> i got the impression that they were really good friends <cmcpher> Do you fantasize about them "exploring their sexuality" together? <smott> i hadn't until now <cmcpher> You're welcome. <cmcpher> But get your mind out of the gutter, son! You have a job to do. <smott> i'm just not good at all at first impressions <cmcpher> Hmm. Let's start at a possible outcome and work backwards from there. Ideally, what would you like to find out from this girl? <smott> ideally she'd tell me how to contact olivia <cmcpher> If you found one or more of Olivia's other journals already, what's stopping you from contacting her that way in the same way you contacted the other girl? <smott> friends only and not updated since nov. 2004 <cmcpher> Was she active in any of the Brazil girl's journal entries at any point? And have you checked these entries for any mention of her recent fate? <smott> the girl's journal is also friends only <smott> except for one entry
18:59
<smott> and i've checked lots of journals, none of them mention anything <cmcpher> Where are you getting this impression that they're good friends? <smott> the other journals <cmcpher> Okay, here's a CRAZY idea. This is far out, but I want you to add it to your list of options and at least give it some consideration. <cmcpher> What about -- no bullshit at all. Don't try to pull off a massive con. You can always try that later if you have to. Here's my crazy idea for what to do with THIS opportunity: just tell the truth, or at least as much of it as it would be beneficial to tell. <cmcpher> Say that you're aware that her friend of Olivia had some trouble from Internet people on 4Chan and then went silent. Say that the sudden vanishment and nasty suicide rumors have made you really worry that she's okay. Don't let on that you have any vested interest, just basic concern for a fellow human being. Don't ask how to contact her, just ask if she's okay, and if the Brazil girl has even heard anything from her lately. <cmcpher> You probably won't get very specific information, but you have a good chance of at least getting a broad overview: i.e. "she killed herself," or "she's okay but she's dropped off the internet completely," or "everything's fine, she just changed all her nicknames so she could make a fresh start." Something like that. People will generally tell you MORE than you ask them, if you ask them the right question. You'll at least be on the right track afterwards. <cmcpher> And, of course, you didn't "track down" her journal, you just found it linked on one of the Cracky stalker sites, which absolutely outraged you at how they were attempting to harass this poor innocent girl & her friends. <cmcpher> Make sure you load the word "them" with a ton of contempt when referencing the stalkers. <smott> yes that was the general idea <smott> i have no idea how to put that in writing though
18:59
<cmcpher> Bah, if you're really stumped, I could probably whip something out on my plane ride on Monday, but you'd have to customize it since I don't know any of the details. It would just be a form letter. <smott> the problem is the actual wording <smott> i'm not a native speaker after all <smott> i learnt english from books. i don't know how they talk casually <cmcpher> If you want me to write it, just say so, but you'll have to personalize & customize it afterward and fill in the missing details or it'll sound way too vague. <smott> how should i start? <smott> "hi"? "hello"? "dear sir or madame"? <cmcpher> It's hard for me to say, since I don't know her. The opening salutation probably doesn't matter much. And she might not be a native English speaker either. I already gave you a general outline for the letter. If you want me to write the actual letter you'll have to give me some sleep & a couple of days. <smott> i should probably reply today. waiting won't do any good <cmcpher> Well then, just don't second-guess yourself. Just say what you think, leaving off anything that she doesn't need to know. <cmcpher> Well, as delightful as this has been, it's kept me up until 6AM when I intended to be in bed by midnight. So I should go. <smott> oh okay <smott> good night <cmcpher> I appreciate you giving me a second chance. <cmcpher> Good luck with your letter. <cmcpher> You'll do great.

so I did the obvious

and the results were "interesting"
20:55
here's the ultimate list of gift suggestions for Cracky:
20:55
1. Boil her into stew and serve with bread. 2. A remote controlled dildo with a vibrating bullet. 3. A set of handcuffs. 4. A knife with a bloodied blade. 5. A pair of cut off shorts with a penis shaped hole in the crotch. 6. A pair of cuffed pants that go up to the neck and the legs are open at the bottom so she can fuck herself in them while looking like a giant penis. A teddy bear mask would be nice. 7. A pocket pussy with realistic balls made out of flesh colored latex. 8. A vintage tattered American flag. 9. A custom made knife with a sickeningly sweet message carved in the blade. 10. A pack of cigarettes with a very personal note inside. 11. Tailor made pajamas with special sleeves for her tiny hands. 12. Bitch eat the rich and sex movies 13. The Third Murderer, a book of short stories by creepypasta master RAT Part III. 14. Knife. 15. A trophy head mounted on a wolf skin hide. 16. A vibrating bullet for her pussy. 17. A book or DVD related to philosophy, art, and dreams. 18. A stuff soft toy of her favorite cartoon character. 19. A used car that she can drive around in. 20. A small bottle of my cum. 21. A panoramic photo of her with a three month old baby. 22. Dog collar. 23. A new vintage camera. 24. Hunting knife. 25. Fuck Your Mother. 26. Handmade pewter necklace with a blood red heart. 27. A rucksack full of sex toys lube and condoms. 28. Black electrical tape. 29. Cowgirl outfit. 30. Shes a young girl Let her make you a homemade bong cake out of two bags of weed some rice and some other junk from the craft store 31. TShirt with a picture of her tied to a chair 32. A smothering kiss.

Seems like a good list overall. Let's make it happen. Who's buying what?

I'm not sure about the "new vintage camera" thing. Vintage cameras are normally used. Although I suppose maybe you could find one that's just been sitting unopened in a box the past few decades.

lul, I found this Alex post when looking for the futa-cracky story
Jesus wept. Much as I hate to break my promise, I just HAVE to make an appeal to some of you at this point to RECOGNIZE FOR FUCK'S SAKE HOW MONUMENTALLY STUPID THIS IS GETTING."Is there another chapter?"YOU STUPID FUCKING IGNORANT LITTLE PRAT....There are ANY NUMBER of "other chapters" that you may care to order, since THIS GUY IS JUST GOING THROUGH AN ANCIENT RELIGIOUS TEXT THAT IS FREELY AVAILABLE ON ANY NUMBER OF DUBIOUS AND NON-DUBIOUS WEBSITES AND CUTTING AND PASTING THE NAMES "CRACKY" AND "ANONYMOUS" INTO THE PLACES WHERE THE TEXT HAS "KRISHNA" AND "ARJUNA"! He is, in other words, creating exactly NOTHING. On the contrary, if he can be described as doing anything at all, then he is just DESTROYING AND VANDALIZING.

lul, I found this Alex post when looking for the futa-cracky story
Jesus wept. Much as I hate to break my promise, I just HAVE to make an appeal to some of you at this point to RECOGNIZE FOR FUCK'S SAKE HOW MONUMENTALLY STUPID THIS IS GETTING."Is there another chapter?"YOU STUPID FUCKING IGNORANT LITTLE PRAT....There are ANY NUMBER of "other chapters" that you may care to order, since THIS GUY IS JUST GOING THROUGH AN ANCIENT RELIGIOUS TEXT THAT IS FREELY AVAILABLE ON ANY NUMBER OF DUBIOUS AND NON-DUBIOUS WEBSITES AND CUTTING AND PASTING THE NAMES "CRACKY" AND "ANONYMOUS" INTO THE PLACES WHERE THE TEXT HAS "KRISHNA" AND "ARJUNA"! He is, in other words, creating exactly NOTHING. On the contrary, if he can be described as doing anything at all, then he is just DESTROYING AND VANDALIZING. It's the verbal equivalent of running through the art galleries of Europe with a spray can spraying clumsy ugly cat-ears on every masterpiece that geniuses and craftsmen spent months or years labouring over. All the verbiage about "profundity", "awesomeness", "moving-ness" etc. etc. that someone - in all likelihood, admittedly, no one but this ridiculous "author" himself, samefagging - has spewed all over your board today is, consequently, the absolute pinnacle of FUCKING NONSENSE.

Santi 12-Feb-21 06:20 PM
February 17, 2006 @ 6:40 am Just posting this development here: I, the Anonymous who spoke with Cracky along with Aly and Intro, have an IRL friend who I will call “Dan.” His ex-love interest/friend lives in the U.K., we’ll call her “Sue.” Now I had known this fact for a long time, but I didn’t know that much about “Sue” herself or pay that much attention to her. At the same time, Intro was also stalking a girl named “Sue” who was one of Cracky’s friends and who had appeared in the picture by the stump (other Cracky fans know the one I mean). It never even occurred to me that they could be the same person. When the topic came up during the chat, Cracky mentioned that “Sue” had spent some time in Africa and was in college now. It occurred to me then that that was “Dan”’s friend’s name, and I also realized that the two of them were both into photography and had similar styles. I mentioned this to Cracky, but we decided naw, hell no. Check the logs, all this is there. Anyway, when I linked to the AIM logs in my personal LJ, “Dan” started freaking out because his friend “Sue” had also been in Africa, had started college, lived in Oxford, and had appeared in a series of pics by a stump with another girl who he thought was “kinda cute.” He got in contact with Intro, who compared s/ns on the two “Sues,” and sure enough, they were the same girl. Check the LJ thread to see much of this, although some comments have been deleted to protect identities and real names. Long story short, my friend’s friend’s friend is Cracky-chan.

why does it prove it was a troll
WineCellar 14-Feb-21 05:08 PM
Just to throw in my 2 cents - I distinctly remember being confused by this as well
anything
I think he was trying to say that she wouldn't describe herself as "sweet" hence it was someone else posting under that trip
WineCellar 14-Feb-21 05:09 PM
But I feel like I came to the conclusion that it was probably because the phrase "she's so cute and sweet" was already a meme associated with crackychan by the time shii cracked her trip
anything 14-Feb-21 05:11 PM
"cute and sweet" was supposedly created by a guy named Pfeizer, you ever heard of him? I couldn't find much.
WineCellar 14-Feb-21 05:11 PM
Doesn't ring a bell
17:12
I think it's originally from the copypasta about killing her though
anything 14-Feb-21 05:12 PM
Yeah Pfeizer took credit for that pasta
WineCellar 14-Feb-21 05:12 PM
I cannot recall if that came before or after her trip being cracked though
anything 14-Feb-21 05:13 PM
I'm checking some stuff. Do we know when Shii cracked the trip?

17:17
from a /b/ thread that Denis saved: >> Pfeizer 04/09/05(Sat)19:23 No.5522
As a Cracky fanartist, I approve of this. Nice comic. I especially like how she died in the tub since I wrote a short story about her dying in a tub (with some assistance).
WineCellar 14-Feb-21 05:18 PM
Hmm interesting
anything 14-Feb-21 05:20 PM
Interestingly, no hits for "cute and sweet" in my trolltalk archive which goes up until March 8. Didn't bother archiving after that because it was 99% crapflood after that, first Denis and then me after he turned the script over to me
17:21
although
17:21
17:21
"sweet, cute" on February 2nd
17:21
so "cute and sweet" might have already existed by then
17:22
checking IRC logs

17:27
unrelated but this caught my attention in the logs:

Well I got involved via trolltalk and I don't think it was posted there originally, I think Denis cross-posted it to there
WineCellar 14-Feb-21 07:33 PM
Okay I had gotten mixed up, afaik this was the first public reveal of the sweet tripcode
19:33
And this is the trolltalk screenshot that I got it mixed up with
anything 14-Feb-21 07:34 PM
ah yeah I remember that now, pretty sure I took the trolltalk screenshot
19:34
but didn't make the post
19:35
probably
19:35
doesn't sound like Denis either. There were a couple others who jumped on the Cracky bandwagon too
WineCellar 14-Feb-21 07:36 PM
The post you posted mentioning the cute and sweet copypasta was 04/09, so I guess it's hard to say which came first... seems likely that the pasta came later though maybe? And used that word because it was the tripcode key
19:37
I was on /b/ when this stuff was happening and remember seeing the cute and sweet pasta posted many times but I really cannot remember which was first
anything 14-Feb-21 07:40 PM
Well it wasn't quite "cute and sweet" but there was a "sweet, cute face" on trolltalk on February 2nd. So it's possible that it was a reference to "cute and sweet" Also it's plausible "cute and sweet" on it own and the full "they will be scarred for life" pasta was written later. We know that the Jan 6 /b/ thread where she posted with the #sweet trip wasn't truly the first one, just the first that we have a screenshot of. Possible that someone called her "cute and sweet" in an earlier thread and that's why she used #sweet as the tripcode?
19:43
like we know someone referred to her as "Cracky-chan" in an earlier, lost thread, and then she started posted under that name, so it's plausible someone first used "cute and sweet" in the earlier lost thread (or one of them, if there were more than one) and that's why she picked the trip
19:43
and then the full "cute and sweet" pasta got written later and it specifically used "cute and sweet" because it was already a meme
WineCellar 14-Feb-21 07:44 PM
Yeah that's possible
anything 14-Feb-21 07:44 PM
I've said it before but all this would be a lot simpler if we had her around to answer questions for us.

I'd pay her a fair rate for her time of course
19:46
minimum wage at least
WineCellar 14-Feb-21 07:47 PM
I've not seen a screenshot of wherever it was that the name "cracky-chan" was first coined, she was already known as that when I noticed her
19:47
Although I think I was already on /b/ when she first showed up...
anything 14-Feb-21 07:47 PM
Yeah the oldest surviving screenshot from Jan 6, she's already posting as Cracky-chan#sweet
19:48
Denis said on IRC that he first saw her posting in December 2004 and I've heard similar reports from others
19:48
but I don't think there's any surviving evidence
19:48
and of course she never set the clock on the Olympus camera
WineCellar 14-Feb-21 07:48 PM
I came to 4chan in second half 2004 so I would have been there
anything 14-Feb-21 07:49 PM
Yeah but what percentage of /b/ threads could one person realistically see? It was already pretty active, right?
WineCellar 14-Feb-21 07:51 PM
Yeah it was fast
anything 14-Feb-21 07:51 PM
It's possible that the earliest threads (whenever they were) didn't gain much traction / didn't stay up for long but the Jan 6 thread where she posted as Cracky-chan#sweet was when things really started popping off
19:51
If at first you don't succeed

did Denis mean her selfies?
anything 14-Feb-21 07:58 PM
I'll try to find the relevant log bits later
19:59
One thing I'm not clear on is exactly how people got moved over to bounceme after the 420chan /cracky/ board was shut down The shutdown happened February 13 Bounceme was created on or before February 21 & had people posting on it right away Somebody posted the cracky.bounceme.net link on the 420chan "hopeful end" blog post on March 3rd and the 4-ch.net "history" thread on March 6 but plenty of people were already on it before then The link probably got spammed on 4chan or something
WineCellar 14-Feb-21 07:59 PM
That might have been the "secret forum" I mentioned
20:00
I think we shared it on AIM maybe
WineCellar
Okay I had gotten mixed up, afaik this was the first public reveal of the sweet tripcode
Santi 14-Feb-21 08:02 PM
Due to Snacks saying "missed the first posting but saw...later in the day" I am assuming the first posting (at least first selfie posting) was within the same day that she used the tripcode
20:02
either that, or Snack's ill-informed about the first posting
20:04
or possibly that chat log is about a later (later than Jan 6 and undocumented) date where someone with the #sweet trip came and posted around. (edited)
anything 14-Feb-21 08:20 PM
This is like historians trying to figure out what Jesus was like based on extremely fragmented sources with extreme "unreliable narrator" stuff happening
20:21
I have a hypothesis
20:22
What if this set was actually the first posted to 4chan, likely before Jan 6, maybe even in December 2004
20:23
but lacking the "sup 4chan" factor, people didn't really think it was a gril posting, and she didn't make a huge splash (yet)
20:23
so she tried again on Jan 6
20:24
at least one "lost" thread where someone called her Cracky-chan and referred to her as "cute and sweet" for the first time
20:24
and then the thread we have a screenshot of, where she posted as Cracky-chan#sweet
anything
What if this set was actually the first posted to 4chan, likely before Jan 6, maybe even in December 2004
WineCellar 14-Feb-21 08:29 PM
Yes, I'm pretty sure the images of her in the black outfit were posted first and then she did the seifuku posts with the trip after
20:30
I feel like that should have been common knowledge among cracky stalkers back in the day but all my memories are so hazy it's hard to say
anything 14-Feb-21 08:30 PM
Here's what Denis had to say:
WineCellar 14-Feb-21 08:30 PM
the black outfit was definitely also posted to 4chan
anything 14-Feb-21 08:30 PM
"one picture was posted sometime in december"
20:30
"everyone was like "whoa who's that girl", but since it was only one picture by some anonymous user it was soon drowned out by other things"
WineCellar 14-Feb-21 08:33 PM
Well december is right before the beginning of January when the "sup 4chan" thread was posted so it's possible that either he got mixed up or that the original posts were indeed like a week before I guess
20:33
although that does conflict with what snacks said
anything
so she tried again on Jan 6

Santi 14-Feb-21 08:35 PM
oh so it is indeed like that. For some reason I always associated the sup 4chan photos with an earlier date, because they are more historic I guess. (and because they look amateurish while the winged goth outfit looks classier) (edited)
anything 14-Feb-21 08:36 PM
Yeah I think "sup 4chan" feels older because it's what most people saw first even though it wasn't really
20:37
hang on I found some more relevant stuff in my Denis logs
20:37
<craig> And when did most of the 4Chan pictures happen? December 2004ish? <craig> Anyway, THIS IS FUCKING UP MY LAUNDRY PLANS. I must go. <denis> nov/dec 2004 <denis> the "sup 4chan" picture was posted on 6th jan

20:40
So Denis was corresponding by e-mail with someone in the Netherlands
20:40
bounceme IP was a Netherlands IP, right?
20:41
Just double-checked, yeah, 195.242.99.71 is a Netherlands IP and bounceme was hosted in a Netherlands datacenter
Santi 14-Feb-21 08:41 PM
not sure. bounceme admin was dutch (or thought of as dutch due to that I guess)
anything 14-Feb-21 08:42 PM
one-armed man / devoiden was Dutch I think, or somewhere around there
Santi 14-Feb-21 08:42 PM
what was the final verdict on devoiden again? one and the same with MA/Gary/bounceme admin?
anything 14-Feb-21 08:42 PM
I believe so, based on a few bits of evidence
Santi 14-Feb-21 08:43 PM
you tried to establish contact with him again, right?
anything 14-Feb-21 08:45 PM
For example, bounceme is called bounceme because it originally used the bounceme.net dynamic DNS service, using the name cracky.bounceme.net. Bounceme.net is part of noip.com. If you go there and try to create an account using "devoiden@gmail.com" it tells you an account already exists. Also when I registered an account and tried to grab "cracky.bounceme.net" it was still in the system from way back in 2006.
20:45
I sent a few e-mails with no response
20:46
Dude let a train amputate his arm, he may have offed himself by this point
20:46
Rendering him unable to pay the bill hence the site going down?
20:47
Or he just let a train take the other arm, which would also make it difficult to pay the bill

20:47
"don't worry about him he's armless"
Santi 14-Feb-21 08:48 PM
what was that story about him getting his arm run over from?
20:48
you and him chatting?
20:49
I thought I had saved it on disk, but I guess not
anything 14-Feb-21 08:49 PM
Yeah he e-mailed me and then we talked on AIM; he was MickZr
20:49
and for some reason my brain completely deleted him from my memory; I had to reconstruct all this
20:51
also the bounceme server error page said something about "the void" on it so "de void" connection?
20:51
Thought there might be a connection to Denis because "dv" but that turned out not to be the case (edited)
Santi 14-Feb-21 08:52 PM
oh ok, this message of yours is what I saved
I think I misread the whole situation. Calling it now: MickZr is both devoiden & "Gayry"/MA. Here's what I think actually happened. I posted one of my secondary e-mail addresses (that I no longer have access to) on bounceme and he sent an exploratory e-mail from devoiden@gmail. In the course of our e-mail correspondence, I encouraged him to get on AIM. When he first contacted me on AIM, he said "(devoiden)" not as some kind of test to see if I'd recognize the secret word, but literally telling me who he was. He even sent me a timestamped picture of his arm stump (which I apparently didn't save). But my brain blanked all this out and I forgot ever communicating with him. Later, when I saw "devoiden" on the bounceme server error page, I legit thought it was my first time seeing (or at least noticing) the word. He must have communicated with Suede as well, because he was on the contact list when Suede's e-mail was hacked in 2010, although I didn't notice until recently. But Suede might not have known he was MA, just as I didn't know when I was communicating with him on AIM.
(edited)
anything 14-Feb-21 08:53 PM
yep
20:53
Although I later found a copy of the bounceme server error page and it didn't actually say "devoiden" it said "thevoid"
20:53
I was misremembering
Santi 14-Feb-21 08:53 PM
ooh
anything 14-Feb-21 08:53 PM
So not 100% certain
Santi 14-Feb-21 08:53 PM
and it's just a word, not an e-mail?
anything 14-Feb-21 08:54 PM
devoiden@gmail.com is a real e-mail. The bounceme server error page had a fake e-mail like thevoid@nothing.nul or something
20:54
but I got it mixed up in my mind
Santi 14-Feb-21 08:55 PM
oh, I see. close enough, probably related yeah

the password recovery for oxfordmaiden@hotmail.com will send a code to a phone number ending in **15 but that's not my number. Back in that time, email sites didn't make you put in a real phone number, so I'm almost certain I would have just slammed in a random number

Gmail accounts specifically are basically impossible to recover if you don't have a recovery e-mail address or phone number attached, I lost crackychaniscute@gmail.com, trolltalk@gmail.com, and some others I wish I could get back into.

Untitled poem by Mintghost: Falling in love with a stranger in a photo A scarecrow maiden Lovely but ragged Befriending lost and broken people Hollow almond eyes gaze into every viewer She shows you her blood She shows you her sickness But somehow this makes you need more A puzzle over pixels You feel neurotic love so strong you cry every night Refreshing the webpage every minute Will she show you more? You only think of her when away from her image The obsession takes you further into the wired than ever before You aren’t the only one She becomes like a religion to some Lost in prayer staring into those unblinking sad eyes You cannot ever forget her She disappeared, now just a moment in time Even fifteen years later you wonder Where is she hiding? Is she doing better now? You both were so young back then You know she must have grown older too But she is frozen in those images and your mind You touch the scars of pain on your arms The ones that match hers That’s all her presence has become now: A psychic scar.

For the Tripfags and the Anonymoiai of 4Chan. It is visible throughout all scenarios of human nature that a permeate of reason always persists and this clear view of reality is possible and preferable to delusion and weak will. This is manifest to the extent of it's role in real life and without it, ignorance, paranoia, selfishness and brutality would take it's place, for reason is possible and preferable to madness. In 4 chan we have put aside these qualities for humour, but in doing so we have revealed out vices and with the sickenning ruses they naturally produce. In 4 chan we have sunk back to this barbaric state which is the source of all our human troubles. I therefore attest reason and cite cracky as an example of the reason why we have adopted this axiom, that 4 chan may exist and we may laugh at our vices, but not succumb to them. I, purely by the honour of anonymous, declare the 6th of January 2006 as a ceremonial date, in which cracky day is celebrated. It is not a time of punishment or celebration, but of justice. For it is my belief that vengeance is not justice, but in doing what is best for the future regardless of the dire circumstances. Due to the nature of this site vengeance is impossible, but justice is possible. Reason and goodness is a part of all our beings and it is my sincere hope that a cracky attestation will take place on 4chan on the 6th of January and at least these ideas will be recognized.

Crispy-chan is the daughter of a former Japanese prime minister. There are also the words of the sutra: If a buddha should wish to go into a village and say, 'I am a buddha,' no one will believe him. If, however, he says to all the buddhas of the ten directions, 'I am a buddha,' all the buddhas will be able to recognize him. There are no words more powerful than the truth.

As you can see, even if we did ten times the number, it wouldn't be enough."

Cracky is a psychic parasite on the human race. She feeds off of our minds. Do you remember life before Cracky? Before she found you?" "Yes, I remember." "Good. This is your way of being free of Cracky's influence. Think back to that life, and see if you remember any dreams. Any visions. I would like you to think about what it was like in life before Cracky. Please be as specific as possible. It's very important." "I'm trying to remember my old life, but my mind is blank. It's like I've just woken up."

Cracky is a psychic parasite on the human race. She feeds off of our minds. Do you remember life before Cracky? Do you even remember before you were alive? What if it was your parents that were Cracky? They would never know the difference. Cracky is your parents. She is in their minds, but not your mind, it is theirs. Thats why she is so smart. She infects you when you are very young, and as you grow stronger, she grows stronger, and becomes one with you. Her real name is not known at all. Her only real family is through the internet. She became like a single parent to all the kids that went to her channel that she started when she was just 13 years old.
The ending of this seems kinda fitting

Cracky-chan is the name given to the internet persona of a young British girl with red hair and an outlandish aura. She started her online fame with her first video in 2013, "Pizzatastic-chan", made with over 3.5 million views. This was followed up by several more videos and a Twitter page. She became widely popular in Japan when her videos were uploaded onto YouTube. She is known by many as a "Furry". The term "cracky-chan" comes from that fad and translates to "cracky" or "crazy". She has made a few appearances in real life. She was featured in 2017 after she appeared on the live stage during Japan's Pokemon World Championships.

I'm playing around with OpenAI GPT-3's completion tool (after a kindly cracky-friend let me on their trial run). Fed it an edited version of peef's 2006 post and some extra information in an article-like manner. One of the completions had this:
Since then, a lot has happened. There have been a few people who claimed to be Cracky over the years, but they never ended up being more than trolls, claiming to be her for whatever reason, and they never had any pictures or asked for any money. In 2010, a mysterious "new" Cracky was found on 4chan's /tv/ board, with pictures. It turned out to be an ARG run by 4chan user El Guante Blanco (who would later become known as Wolfenstein in real life), in order to promote his show "The Craccis". These pictures were actually Photoshopped by El Guante Blanco himself in order to throw off

19:09
There are people on the internet, specifically on Facebook, who claim to be Cracky. However, none of them seem to be her. The photos used on these accounts are either of different people, or they are cropped photos of her. The facebook account claiming to be Cracky has no friends, is not tagged in anyone's photos (not even the friends she claims to have) and the user has never posted a status or a photo or a video. The account was created in 2009, filled out the info-section in 2014 and was last seen in 2015. It is entirely possible that it belongs to an anonymous stalker who wants to gaslight those who still seek her.

Kinda, the playground is relatively simple. I tried to use it on Python so that I could train it to become a specific chatbot; but I couldn't even get it to run :v (I'm an absolute simpleton when it comes to coding and such) (edited)
20:03
The good thing about using it on Python is that you can fine-tune it by uploading files (at no cost, if I understood right) and basically have a modified version of GPT-3 that knows all about Crackyverse etc. But on the playground you have to feed it the relevant prompts everytime, and that uses up credit (edited)
20:09
Tried a very short prompt this time (just the bold part without any other info)
"Who is Cracky-chan?" I hear you ask. Well, Cracky-chan is the nickname we have given to our new office assistant, who we hired last week. Her name is actually Cracky-chan, and we don't really know why. "We don't really know why," we say. "Why?" you ask. "What's her real name?" "Her real name is Cracky-chan," we say. "Really," you say. "That's interesting. Why do you call her that?" "We don't really know why," we say. "It just sort of happened." "So you're saying that her parents named her after a brand of crackers," you say. "That's pretty strange." "It's not like that," we say. "Crackey-chan is a pretty common name in Japan." "Oh," you say. "Well, you never told me she was Japanese." "We didn't?" we say. "We meant to."

It is as the Sky Queen intended. It is the will of the Goddess that those who would be worthy seek out the truth of her crackyness for themselves. It is not her will that a clueless, spoon-fed faggot in a lab-coat be her prophet; that way lies mass produced cracktards, who value nothing. That which is given has no value. It's for we few, we happy few, we band of buggered, to light the fires upon the mountain top. The pilgrims must make their way in the darkness with only the light of their faith to show them the way, for the path is full of woe for those that would make the climb, and climb they must, the mountain will not come to them. We were made to suffer; each blow is a kindness, every drop of blood an offering, every hardship a blessing to strengthen our faith so that we may come to know the light of her grace. It would be far, far better to die a martyr along the way than to have turned away a coward never knowing her favor…

Sent on 09/23/2008 2:59 am To vodkahigh Subject Kimi and yourself Message Send you messages with ideas and stories? Here's an idea and a story : Olivia Rosalind Lane AKA Cracky. I was the guy who gave whatbandages a code for Deadjournal to give to Kimi. Kimi used it to get in contact with Olivia again. At the time, I figured it would be best to stay out of things for the most part. However, now, I'd like to speak to Kimi. I have some questions for her. Not absurd queries regarding any of Olivia's specifics; I know all of that already. What I am after, however, is simple details regarding their friendship and Olivia as a person. All I have is an old MSN address of hers, "believeanonbelieve@hotmail.co.uk". I spoke to you in your Live once and you made is clear that Olivia was a sore topic for you. I apologize for bringing her up again. I also have a question FOR YOU. Did you know about Cracky before Kimi or just after? Needs more Welsh-accented children's tales mixed with whatever kind of torturous ambience that was. -Gackto- (Jeff)

Yo me he vuelto una cultista de Cracky-Chan, la amo. No les mentiré que he desarrollado una enfermiza obsesión con ella. Ella es mi diosa, la reina del nexo y del cielo, conquistadora de mi corazón y de muchos. Incluso a mi mamá le preocupa esta afición que le tengo a Cracky-Chan, me ha prohibido buscarla o querer saber más de ella, pero nada detendrá mi amor hacia Cracky-Chan. Investigo lo más que puedo de ella, he intentado hablar con su hermano, la he dibujado incontables veces en mis cuadernos y dos veces en digital. Yo desearía haberla acompañado en esos momentos que sentía frustración y depresión causada por el acoso diario que recibía, la hubiera abrazado fuertemente, le hubiera quitado esa navaja con la que cortaba sus suaves brazos, siempre que ella se sintiera mal yo estaría ahí para ella, para amarla y susurrarle suavemente al oído: "Shh, calma mi dulce reina del cielo, estoy aquí contigo, no necesitas nada más." Como me hubiera encantado maquillar su tierna nariz y hacerle esos círculos rojos en sus mejillas. La hubiera defendido de esos enfermos que solo deseaban usar su escultural y hermoso cuerpo. Le prepararía de comer todo lo qué ella deseé. Sería prácticamente su esclava, su diario, su confidente y sobre todo su único amor. Cuanto deseo viajar pronto a su tierra mágica y conocerla en persona, aunque se que el hechizo de la chica dulce y tierna que sufre de depresión se destruiría para dar paso a alguien agresiva y enojada conmigo y con otros por arruinarle su vida.

"I have become a Cracky-chan cultist, I love her. I won't lie about the fact that I've developed a sick obsession over her. She's my goddess, the sky and wired queen, conquerer of my heart and of many others. Even my mom is worried about this fascination I have for Cracky, she forbade me to search about her, but nothing will stop my love for Cracky-chan. I research about her as much as I can, I tried to talk with her brother, I have drawn her many times in my notebooks and two times in digital. I wish I was next to her when she felt depressed and she was frustrated about all the daily harrasment, I'd have took off the razor she used to cut her soft arms. I'd be there for her anytime she felt sad, to love her and softly whisper her in the ear: 'Shh, it's okay my sweet sky queen, I'm here with you and you don't need anything else'. How I'd love to make up her cute nose and draw those red circles in her cheeks. I'd protect her from those sickfucks who only wanted to use her beautiful body. I'd prepare any food she wants. Basically, I'd be her slave, her diary, her confident and specially, her only love. How I wish to travel soon to her magic land and meet her irl, even if the cute and sweet girl spell dissapears to show someone aggresive and mad at me and many others because we ruined her life."

This was written by me for her birthday and was private. But I will share it here now. Nice to see you again, guys. -- I chased your eyes to England, and felt silly for doing so Oxford is miles away from here, but I know if I were to go I would look at every little brick on every little building and wonder if your hands touched them and, if so, how were you feeling? Did you whisper your secrets to the streetlights on Bulwarks Lane? Or, like Bullock the scavenger they forgot, do you wish to be the same? If I ask the streets so sweetly, will they tell me how you walked? Or will they hold their tongues eternally, and ignore my pleading knock? Can the queen of the sky see the castle from here? Your magical entities surround us at all times of the year Its so curious that someone can get lost in the modern age Do you live with freedom because of that or have we trapped you in a cage? All streets will go by different names one day And all lights will dim, replaced when they fade away As above in the heaven of your eyes So below when I see the sunrise (edited)

He had it up for a while then took it down & put up this goodbye page: https://ipv6.cracky-chan.com/files/wayback-stuff/crackychandotcom-2005-06-09/

Cracky-chan was always a bit uneasy around strangers, but she had to make do with the fact that most people in her town were just too darn creepy to be around. But one day, she met someone who made her feel completely off-kilter. He would follow her around, even when she tried to ignore him, and it was really starting to get on her nerves.

if you can put images inside images
anything 30-Mar-22 10:20 AM
hidden data is something I've been thinking about lately in regards to my archival efforts the classic of appending a ZIP or RAR to the end of an image is easily detectable & scriptable, just have 7zip attempt to extract every file as an example: find -type f ( -iname '.gif' -or -iname '.jpg' -or -iname '*.png' ) -print0 | parallel -0 -n 1 -i -- 7za x -o/home/cmcphers/arctest/{} {} > 7ziplog.txt 2> 7ziplog-err.txt (grepping the output logs is needed to see if there were any passworded archives that need to be investigated further) There are other cases to consider: 1. Non-archive data appended to the end of an image As long as the image data isn't truncated this won't cause any visual distortion to the image and we can't rely on 7-zip since the bonus data isn't an archive hence this can be a little trickier for PNG there's an amazing program called optipng (used for lossless optimization) that will throw a warning if anything about the image is amiss such as extra data a the end for JPG that situation is a bit more grim... there's similar software called jpegoptim that can detect and warn about certain issues but unfortunately as long as bonus data is placed at the very end without disturbing the image data, jpegoptim will just silently discard the bonus data, so that's not ideal. I'm thinking of doing some kind of script to check the last bytes of an image to make sure it ends how it's supposed to end. But if it were a JPG appended to a JPG then something could still slip through.
10:22
2. Truncated image with extra data appended
10:22
as in the case with this
10:22
although that copy has had the extra data removed
10:23
those are easy to detect with jpegoptim, just gotta be careful and pay attention, lately I've been doing dry runs with jpegoptim and grepping for warnings
10:24
I filed a feature request on GitHub to have a -nofix option added to jpegoptim to make it easier to avoid clobbering the extra data in cases like that
10:30
back on the subject of embedded archives... as early as 2008, 4chan already had code to scan and reject images containing embedded archives that's actually how I got more deeply involved with the crackyverse and started talking to people on AIM I saved a Cracky pic from bounceme (probably) and tried to post it on /r9k/ (probably) or maybe some other board and it got rejected due to an embedded archive, which I didn't even know about it so I took a closer look at it and saw it was a passworded RAR RAR crackers were extremely slow back then but fortunately the password was super weak (eris) it contained the Cracky/whatBandages AIM log so he became my first AIM point of contact if it hadn't been for that strange confluence of coincidences we'd be living in a very different world
narki 30-Mar-22 02:01 PM
