Ha, I was one of the editors of Adequacy.org back in the day, my "Not Just Harmless Fun" story was the second most commented on the site after this one. My name is even there on the Wikipedia article thanks to the "naked and petrified" guy getting annoyed with us at one point IIRC.

This story got so much traffic it broke the site numerous times and in the end we had to disable commenting entirely, so it's entirely possible it would have had more responses if our server had been able to handle it.




That's a work of art!


Thanks, I was very happy with it, it had the right balance of being outrageously inflammatory while containing plenty of clues that it was a troll. And the images were the icing on the cake lol.
