What happened to Blastoise?

Hi again everyone,

So was reading the archives of WSO, hoping to get a better understanding of what the culture here is like, what the history of the website was, who gives the best advice... etc etc, and I noticed that there used to be a guy around here called blastoise who seemed to be a pretty big player on this website.

Thing is though, I can't seem to find anything on his profile. I have come across a few posts which seem to lament his departure. Did he leave? Was there some sort of altercation? Did he get banned?

Anyway, I really enjoy this website and it's content. Wanting to fit in more, I was hoping to learn more about our history.

Anyone want to fill me in?

Sadly, Pikachu's Thundershock took him out of WSO.

It's because nobody knows and few care.

If I recall correctly, blastoise was one of the best trolls on here.

He broke WSO's rules. He was told to stop. He did it again. Was told to stop again. This went on for a while. Then he got banned.

RIP blast

Is mudkipz an alternate account for blastoise?

no im an independent person blastoise's legacy will always live on in the annuls of WSO lore - the one who pokemon who ruled them all

in all seriousness don't ruin blastoise's legacy I'm not nearly as funny or witty

Train hard, hit level 16, then subsequently hit level 36.

 

He is interning at a BB now and was WSO's first intern. He got banned for breaking the rules too many times.

He's fine. I talked to him this morning.

should have used RAGE so that his attack level would have gotten stronger after each reprimand

 

ufo insider i suggest you delete this post immediately. the rabbit hole goes quite deep and you might not like what you find.

 

I'm of the impression that they are separate users. I think bIastoise (the one with a capital i and an actual picture the Pokémon Blastoise) was originally created to smear the reputation of blastoise (the one correctly spelled with a lowercase L and a troll face avatar). Ironically, bIastoise hasn't been remotely as funny as the original blastoise and has converted from being a troll into a pretty decent contributor that asks good questions. Old school blastoise is still just doing his thang.

i'll leave it to interpretation, sort of like how religious scholars debate over whether St. John the Apostle and St. John in Revelations were the same person in the Bible

Wait, wait, wait... I know a different mod deleted the thread where I put venusaur on trial, but I was under the impression that I had blocked venusaur for good. Pretty sure Anthony also did an IP ban. Please indicate the recent sightings of venusaur and I'll get to the bottom of this.

I'll second this. I'm going to start deleting your posts when you barf all over a legitimate topic guys. Consider this your warning.
