This is from former admin p1ngpong

Hey guys, I have been talking with Xuphor over the last couple of weeks about her predicament and how to best handle the posting of this incredibly sad news. Unsure about what course we should take ultimately we decided it was best that she just come out with it straight in a GOTC thread instead of a blog. This way we could be certain everyone who knows xuphor is informed that sadly she has not got long left and is gravely ill, and that everyone's thoughts and prayers can be with her and her friends and family during this difficult time.

I consider Xuphors sharing of this news here an act of supreme bravery and as an administrator here I am very moved and proud to know she considers GBAtemp a place dear enough in her heart to spend her final days on. I am confident that in times like this our great community can gather together and shed away any petty differences and prejudices they may have and unite as one in solidarity.

Mortality is a thing we rarely have to think of here on GBAtemp, we have a young userbase which rarely needs to dwell on such a subject. In this thread I hope to see a maturity displayed beyond the years of even our youngest members, with respectful and sensitive posts. We are a community after all and it is these very real moments which define us as a community. It is in times like this that we realize that we are not dealing with mere avatars and anonymous figures behind an internet connection, but real people. Real human beings who lead real lives and suffer the same real struggles and pain which you do in your lives outside of this forum.

So make me proud GBAtemp, the only button I want to press under posts for the remainder of this thread is the like button, not the delete button. Because this is the time when we show that we are a true community, filled with compassionate mature people whose integrity as a group is the envy of other communities and an example to them all. And I dearly hope that this thread will be a supreme example of that fact.

Thanks guys.
What she did is just wrong

A post from Xuphor...

Just wanting to update:
I'm still in the same state as I was when I made the OP. I've arranged it so when something major happens (thrown in hospital for my last few days, my actual death, and anything else of magnitude), my sister will make a new account here and PM p1ngpong. I'll PM p1ngpong for how to verify it's really her, and not some prankster. Once he's sure it's her, she'll share the information of magnitude with him, and he'll post the update.

.....I probably should have made sure this is ok with p1ngpong first, but I'm pretty sure he'd be ok with it. If not, I'll find someone else on the staff to help with that end.

Do you remember posting this @Lilith Valentine?

Wow, I am not sure if this is true or some sick joke, but what the actual fuck?
She is your sister, you should be more concerned about her and her well being, no matter what problems you two have had in the past. I am not going to pry into any family history because this is neither the time nor place for it, but I am going to flat out say, what's going on supersedes those any past events.
You've done a great job at least keeping us up to date (for the most part), but this is just wrong of you to do. Everyone here is extremely worried about her and you gave them false hope to a speedy recovery.
I really you're not serious though, because we've actually really enjoyed you being here.
Still thanks for the previous work you've done for us. At least we still know she's recovering.

Truths:
1 - I am not female, i just truly wish I was one. In truth, I am a very homosexual male, with a heavy fixation on furries.

2 - I really do have Cystic Fibrosis, and am currently in the hospital for it. (See Lies number 1 for why) (And staff member feel free to check my IP for verification, UT Southwestern Hospital.
Here is a picture of my in my hospital bed (Had to use rear camera on a mirror, as front camera doesn't work): http://i42.tinypic.com/hrmxkh.jpg
I absolutely HATE my appearance by the way, sorry if you do too.

3 - Because I really am in the hospital for CF, I am on 3 IV medications (Levaquin, Tobramycin, and Zosyn), along with ~17 other medicines (pills, nebulizers, "The Vest", etc)

4 - The reason I downright refused ALL donations from any GBATemp member, reddit blog thing, kickstarter, any of that is because I am not a theif. I may be a lieing attention whore seeker cunt douchbag, but I would never steal money from people. Even slezebags like me have some standards.

5 - My parents really disowned me when I was 11 ish. The reason for that is because I came out as gay and a furry togerther. They are diehard Catholics, and they swear I will go to hell when I die because of that. I also renounced my Catholic faith when I was 16, and turned Agnostic eventually. This obviously did not help matters.

6 - Kinekto isn't my sister. I don't have a sister, it was me.

7 - I am an attention whore a lot of the time.

8 - I am very much a computer geek. The avatar and signature really are my own 3d model creations that I made with Blender and use in Second Life.

Lies:
1 - I am not having a lung transplant at this point, or in the foreseeable future. I knew that a week long hospital stay was coming up for me, I get one every year or so. Because of my attention whorish ways, I greatly exagerated the circumstances. The thread unfortunatly got a lot more attention than I thought it would, people were getting MUCH more involved that I thought they would. It started making me feel insanely guilty, but I was in too deep. I had to start making stuff up as I went, which needless to say got way out of control.

2 - No lung transplant, no anonymous donor.


So please, I understand the vast majority of people reading this hate me right now. Still, I hope that in time you might forgive me, as I will no longer lie about anything to anyone. I am a very homosexual 25 year old guy that wishes he was a female, my name is Xuphor. Nice to meet everyone here with no masks for the first time. I hope that some of you can forgive me for what I've done, but I know that some of you just can't. To those people, I welcome you to send me a PM expressing why. I'm hoping that getting your anger out right at me might help.

If you have anything to ask, please do so. I will answer anything at all.

There's something I've always wanted to ask about the Vipera incident. I don't care if I get banned for asking this.

"- P1ngpong constantly harassed me on IRC, insulting me and my dead mother."
http://gbatemp.net/entry/this-forum...ney-and-powerabusive-people-im-leaving.13119/

Why is P1ngpong allowed to insult user's mothers? An insult from an authority figure is very powerful, regardless of whether or not one's mother is still alive. And it's very unprofessional.

Step 1 is young Vipera tried to blow everything out of not even proportion but generally accepted rules of geometry (possibly even past non Euclidean), and that was on a good rage session. On a bad one wilfully misinterpreted everything to the point of absurdity.

Not a log but might as well be, also a bit annotated for those that have not yet graduated to the IRC and still use current fad of the week chat protocols (right now it is Discord but there have been many before and will be many after).
<Vipes>... and it is really bad to have happened
<@the_p1nginator>like ur mum
[ur mum is of course the height of witty discourse]
<Vipes>I'll have you know my mother is no more! She has ceased to be! She's expired and gone to meet 'er maker!
{That was not a quote and more python than viper but there is of course only one response suitable for that}
<@p1ngus_the_magnificent>like ur mum
<Vipes>You really are one of the worst people ever
{I presume the response is expected at this point but for the sake of clearness}
<@p1ng_pang_poolie_poolie_poolie_poolie_watcha_p1ng_pang_poo_p1ng_pang_poo>like ur mum
<Vipes>I quit and am never coming back
~2 hours later~
Vipes has joined #gbatemp.net
<Vipes>I'm back
<@p1ngpong>like ur mum

Timestamps are not in my fantasy log but be assured p1ngpong's mental and physical ping response time was, in a phrase, fucking flawless on that day.

That apparently all counts as an insult and not day to day IRC like everybody else in the world understands it and we got one of many rage quits, bans and unbans and seemingly one sided grudges.

Secondly "authority figure"
It's a forum. If you accord any authority to anybody here for purposes beyond listen to what they say if you want your stay here to go smoothly then you have gone wrong somewhere. The staff here are not ur mum.
