@Darkfoxx: Sorry, this is a bit out of order.

I’m pretty sure the communism theme was totally unrelated to 4chan and was more-so inspired by Prok.

Although the “Everyone’s Gay for Bridget” Meme exists, people in the Bridget Brigade liked the character because of the character and not because of any meme.

Another thing to note about people from WU going out and crashing and spamming. Are they actual WU members or are they DW members posing as WU members? We’ve had troubles in the past with this sort of thing. I suppose this could also answer your question about why griffers do not keep WU out of the spotlight.

“Pn go to sims and crash them, wu does not.”
I heard statements from (self proclaimed) WU’ers that they in fact, have went out to crash (and spam etc) other sims, this was in a discussion about the responsibility of sim owners for the actions of the people visiting their sims, where the poster was of the opinion that the WU mods were not responsible for WU members actions as they only pulled against TOS shit outside of the WU sims.
Plus the stories that Tizzers banned anyone spamming on the WU sims, but has been proven to have been present for more then a few raids outside of WU territory.
So which to believe, you or other WU members?

Wether or not PN steals money, i never heard that myself, so ill leave that in the middle. However, I think it is pretty accurate to state that WU has cost people money, at least those people who payed for the sims that LL took. (twice.) Couldnt have been cheap… but yeah ill have to give you that.

The PN might not have had any bridgets (the bridget AV that gave me a tour of the WU sims ill ignore, was possibly not PN but WU), but to deny the everyone’s gay for Bridget meme’s existance, i think is a bit unfair. Like it is incorrect that communism, the latest and last WU theme, isnt a 4chan meme at all and totally unrelated in that aspect.

Also, wouldnt it be a smart move for any griefers to hide their relation to WU, to keep it out of the spotlight? Kind of like the whole ongoing ebaums distraction that 4channers outside of SL use. Rules 1 and 2 of the internet and all that…
Not wanting to present any of this as fact, but merely my suspicions.

Oh, and my own visit took place a little while after WU lost and rebought their sims for the first time.

@Darkfoxx: And when was this? WU discarded just about everything 4chanish when Soviet WU was created. You’d of course see a couple of Bridgets running around but that’s because of the fan group for people who like to make customized Bridget AVs. I should also mention the PN didn’t have any Bridgets.

So really the only similarities are a fondness for trolling and a don’t take things so seriously mentality which stems the fondness for trolling.

“The only real difference I noticed is that WU feels they’re better then PN. But doesnt everyone…?”

The PN goto sims and crash them; WU does not.

The PN spam particles everywhere and toss about spengbabs in public sandboxes; WU does not.

The PN will steal your money: WU will not (Intlibber doesn’t count).

WU has financial support and can help you earn many scholarships; The PN does not.

What are the differences between PN and woodbury I wonder? Aside from the afros that is. Then again, when I visited the woodbury sims a while ago, there were a few afros in suits hanging around, with the woodbury group above their heads.
The similarities between the two groups are pretty obvious; 4chan memes, longcat, bridget, just to name a few. And fond of trolling and that whole dont take things serious thing. (which Intlibber really should have listened to)

The only real difference I noticed is that WU feels they’re better then PN. But doesnt everyone…?

Unfixable: “Woodbury, PN – there’s no functional difference apart from which IRC they use.”

Gaara: “Hooray for ignorance. :p”

Unfixable: “Yep – Woodbury exploited that ignorance for years, and it worked pretty well until the facade crumbled.”

@Unfixable: So what you’re saying is Woodbury exploited your ignorance for years up until your trolling facade crumbled and thus you are admitting to getting trolled pretty hard by WU? ;o

Oh wow, do you really think that? No sarcastic remarks meant or desired, just asking, do you REALLY think that?

“So, wealth can only be created by making others poor? And in order to win someone must lose? What do you base these assumptions on?”

I feel reminded of that old skit on Dave Chapelle about the difference between rich and wealthy.

Anyway, personally me, depending on who it is, I’d probably crush a few to get ahead a bit farther. Depending on who it is of course.

“Woodbury, PN – there’s no functional difference apart from which IRC they use.”

Hooray for ignorance. :p

@IntLibber “His game is merely to troll and lie and harass.”

I see that now.
