Im 18, do i have potential?? was the title of a thread posted on bodybuilding.com on October 30th, 2005. Posted by a user named “badboy2”, the thread was practically begging for trolls to follow.

The general consensus of bodybuildingforums members was that he did have potental for something…Photoshop. The thread then turned to photoshopping his picture for over 4 years, making it quite notable. Currently there are over 6000 replies to his question.

Derivatives

References to the original thread, and trolls posing as “badboy2” have popped up online on numerous occasions.

Furthermore, a number of Youtube videos have been created which catalog many of the photoshopped images.

It was surtenly famous on the forum.
I think it needs more info and it dosen’t look like it got out of the forums on the internets.
You put 4chan as a tag,a little history from there if you may?
Most of the times it appears on other communities and evolves on 4chan.
It’s kinda like this one:
