(Iceberg Tiers Parodies entry for context)

I've been watching YouTube videos of these icebergs on various topics and I started wondering: what all would the one for KYM include? There would surely be in-joke memes (like Super Robo Jesus), notable users (like Emperor Palpitoad and Calculator_Fetishist), and miscellaneous drama (like that surrounding the Cringeworthy and POMF entries), but what's some of the deeper lore that would be toward the bottom? If some knowledgeable veteran user wants to compile an image, I'd be interested to see it.

(I don't generally keep up with ongoing site drama, so I ask not to include current events that may stir up further conflict.)

I imagine those trolls we had years ago would be pretty deep (Lezhuarez, Liberal_genius, Jihadjimmy) .

This where some madlad posted a fuckload of a squrrel girl pics.

First image on KYM

Justin Bieber's Swag.

The weird ripper roo pictures, something about poochy, paper jam dipper’s meltdown
the Leg Toad shit with Adam

KnowYourMeme censorship controversy

NES Goat, commie-posters, Epyc Wyn's millions of alts, Andrew Dobson's C&D, probably the brony phenomenon, gamergate was a big part of the site at one point, Indian Escort spambots. Staff/mod meta jokes would probably be deeper on the iceberg.

Lez-posting, ah so cute, balloonecles, Random's old avatar

edit- and draconic romantic proclivities re: motor vehicles

Near the top 'Poochyena was trolling'. Tier lower 'Poochyena wasn't trolling'
'Rare females'
Soyjak posters worked with moderators
Maybe something about constant south asian bots
That Gotti picture that shows up sometimes on Riff Raff
Pornposters

- The "Korean" invasion
- Lisa Lombardo (her cleavage expose was nice though lol)

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Lover of Truth, Bryan Dusheng or that Chinsese 50-Cent Army poster that appeared sometime around the Hong Kong protests if memory serves me correct?

…Or my really bad KYM-Tan fanart…

Uhh… you mean the expanding brain Photoshop entry I made?

Showing my ego for a moment:

I'd probably end up somewhere on there.

"Mistress Fortune. An odd one, a transgender person who posts a fuckton of softcore inflation fetish porn, but is also equally known for being quite verbose on certain topics, especially random video game knowledge. Has a very unsubtle infatuation with the Skullgirls character she says she shamelessly borrowed her name from. The odd openness about her fetishes alone might make this person seem like they'd be widely mocked for their fringe kinks, but she's actually quite liked by a good portion of the community. When she and her father faced some serious financial hardships, users on the site even came together to help raise money for them. Just goes to show even weird autistic (literally in her case, she's admitted to having Aspergers) coomers can have more going on with them than you might expect."

So was that picture of the guy with a fish someone's profile pic? I swear I saw him somewhere before.

If we include stuff from the chats, I’d put discord stuff (eg: shijo) at about the middle, and IRC (eg: wao), would be deeper.

IRC chat stats and that Particle Mare body pillow has to be on it somewhere.

I don't think Bryan fits here, he's been all over the web for over 8 years which makes his appearances here a rather short stint in comparison

He's still worth a mention

Other stuff to include:

-Daily Dose
-Artichokeposting
-Toad diapers
-Those two sickos who planned a mass shooting

!

This would fit somewhere in the middle

Mass shooting?
context?

Thread: Former KYM neo-nazi (& brony) plans mass Columbine-style shooting, gets arrested

Wikipedia Article: Halifax Mass Shooting Plot.

Maybe we could add the ex-moderator Arcanine and his descent and trip to EDF.

The user asked this to be deleted.

Holy CRUD!

Eat Dat Fussy?

Never heard of that before, could you elaborate?

Encyclopedia Dramatica Forums

The soyjak posters not acting like douchebags

No seriously. Whenever I talked to them, they seemed normal or maybe it's just me they are talking to when they seem normal.

can you explain?

Edgy tryhard who became a mod only for the clout that came with it. And during his time as a mod, he took it very seriously (IIRC he proudly displayed a "hitlist" of users he banned / got banned on his profile). One day, to quote another mod who saw it happen, "He fucked up badly once and he was tired of being blamed for it, so he chimped out." Started spamming guro in the galleries leading to his ban.

Then he went to the Encyclopedia Dramatica Forums to explain why we were shit… only to get BTFO'd by them (see this thread, note that the links in the thread redirecting to EDF are dead and may redirect somewhere if you click on them, so be careful). Truly a glorious moment in this userbase's history.

>First image on KYM
You mean the oldest surviving image. Actually, the first 3 since-deleted images would be a good item on the iceberg for the mystery factor.

Slime 'Cap and the KYM themed pokemon game should be there too.

"I think we're a puddle of shit community due to our behavior down at the irc" That never gets old.

I just had a look at MedleyManiac's gallery and they were producing a lot of solid art; but then something happened and they skedaddled, deleting things as they went.

Does anyone know what happened?

It's sounds like a pack of internet busybodies hounded them off the site going by the explanation they've left behind

Holy shit that hits surprisingly close. KYM's community is pretty small but this??

I'd add on the KYM april fools events. The Stock Market one was really fun. Also, Don banned me for my WSB tactics.

I took a look at an iceberg video, holy shit it's so boring, but I'm not at all surprised they've got an audience. Bet they're related to the same people who watch all those '102 Things You DIDN'T Know About (Name of Franchise)' videos

That said I'd include the Cringeworthy gallery lockdown, Epyc's hyper-fixation on this site that may or may not still be active, and double agents in the mod team working with Wojak raiders

Is Pachirisu's harassment of people in DMs and on their twitter too obscure to even be worth being on there?

Advice Dog being the most hated template at one point in time. Oh how we should have counted our blessings once Object Labeling gone and usurped that dishonor.

Lisa who?

Lisa Lombardo was a prolific Facebook commenter who jumped onto KYM for a while. The political type, but she followed the rules more or less.

Then she got suspended and proceeded to dig herself deeper, earning a full-on ban in the process.

Possibly that weird shit about the Flight 328 Emergency Landing article?

The Korean Invasion?

What was that?

I'm picturing North Korean soldiers in hand to hand combat with Furries and anime girls; but I doubt it was that awesome.

There were a bunch of spammers from Korea who kept spamming the following text

At the time, there was a game in the Forums that had you design KYM styled Monopoly Chance cards. It got an honorable mention from me
