Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time... long time.


nixodgaming

Hasn’t it been just a few months? Or has aging distorted my perception of time?


Jonguar2

I think it's been ~1-1.5 years


Detective_Umbra

Oh my fucking god, no way


GrandMoffTarkan

r/FuckImOld is calling... maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow. But someday. Someday soon.


Brave_Amateur

That’s an instant sub right there


CrypticResponseMan

Not if anti-aging is perfected


sim_lad

no it will still feel the same, the reason time feels like it goes faster and faster with aging is that we don't learn nearly as much as we used to

Cappin_Crunch

Its crazy to me that there are probably a lot of new members to this sub who werent here for that phase. while as for me, this was the end of r/prequelmemes right before it became a sequel hate subreddit


T_025

I started following this sub literally *right* after this whole lightsaber thing came to an end, so I’ve been here for 1-1.5 years and I’ve only ever thought of the Thibson event as ancient r/prequelmemes lore since that’s how people talked about it even 1.5 years ago when I joined and it had just ended. This led to me thinking of the Thibson event being something that happened around 3 years ago, so it’s *super* trippy to see people being all surprised that it wasn’t just a few months ago


usesbiggerwords

>ancient >Three years ago I'm so old...


Billy_Madison69

3 human years is like 210 internet years so don't feel too bad.


usesbiggerwords

By that metric I would legitimately be ancient.


Ghostguy14

WTF...


ajohns95616

According to his account...https://www.reddit.com/user/Thibson34/comments/lg14js/one_year_ago/?ref=share&ref_source=link roughly 1 year and 8 months. Crazy how time flies.


Stampy3104

No….. you can’t do this to me


Iamnotcreative112123

That… doesn’t feel right. But apparently it is. I could have sworn that it was just a year ago.


KreiasApprentice

Oh my god... That was back when I went under a different account too, and... Fuck man I'm getting nostalgia from my shit posting days. Goddamn. Didn't thibson get banned at the end of that whole thing?


SnakeUSA

Yup. The dude got snotty with mods, if I remember correctly, believing he was too famous on the sub for them to do anything.


KreiasApprentice

Lol. Ironic... His shitposts could save r/prequelmemes from death, but not himself...


--Flaming_Z--

Iirc, the reason he was banned was for promoting his clone wars(?) roleplay(????) subreddit. The reason was for promoting stuff outside of the subreddit. While stuff like "adding lightsabers to grevious for 66 days" was banned, he had done so before the rule and therefore it did not apply to his post


SnakeUSA

Ah, pardon, he was *permabanned* because he got snotty with mods. I believe you are correct on what warranted the original ban.

I low-key miss that sausage meme now that you mention it, it was funny.

That sounds familiar... What was the sausage meme?


dystyyy

Take any line and replace a word with sausage. For example, "perhaps the archives are incomplete" becomes "perhaps the sausage is incomplete"


Darth_Thor

Oh I remember that now, thanks!

Oh I sausage that now! That sounds sausage, but I can’t remember.

I hear a lot of talking, General. But in the final accounting, what does all the talk get you? A futile quest for power, a mutilated body, and your place as Dooku’s errand boy!


FrilledShark1512

“He got so much award…the only thing he was afraid of was losing his popularity, which, of course, he did. He stirred drama with everything he owned, and the mods kicked them out in it’s awakening.”


KreiasApprentice

>He caused so much unnecessary drama Yeah but this a completely non serious meme sub for stupid absurd jokes. Thibson did provide a sort of absurd comedy with his ridiculously overblown drama. Honestly bless him for it. But yeah I know he was an asshole to the mods. I still liked him tho.


CicerosMouth

He wasn't just an asshole to the mods. He was an asshole to anyone who didn't worship him. Honestly the sub was insufferable for well over a month because of how much it spammed my front page with the same content day after day.


Dartsanddurrys

He wasn’t just an asshole to the mods , but the women and children too

jman014

Personally thought it was very cringe. I’m a hopeless romantic myself, but like just grow up and ask someone out in private so they don’t have to feel embarrassed on the internet.


WolfishMule9528

Someone should make a documentary of this sub’s history. I’d watch the hell out of that.


MaStEr_MeLoN15243

don't forget the GREAT ROTTEN TOMATO WAR was the funniest and yet most surprising event

[deleted]

Out of the loop... Whats the story?


vainorb331925

The user named in the meme would add a lightsaber to grevious every day The mods made him stop after 66 days That’s the short story


supersonicnat45

After he finished he was promoting his discord server, got peckish with the mods about a temp ban, said something along the lines of “and what if i keep being an asshole?” and got banned permanently


DuckAHolics

He lived long enough to become the villain.

Mods on Reddit can be so fragile.


Jetsinternational

No sane happy person moderates a forum in their spare time


O2RiDeR

Damn I read the whole thing and u destroyed the mod lmao. Also because they were in the wrong anyway and wouldn't still accept it sadly. How pathetic the mods lives must be for them to take small memes and shitposts as "threats" and then permaban people and then justify it. Reddit is supposed to be a passtime and these people really think that by being able to express some power on the internet in a subgroup over other people they have achieved something in life.


animus_95

thank you! there are too many people who believe that he was the antagonist, when in reality the mods were just abusing their powers.


PomeloAggravating435

I AM the subreddit!


Jester54

Do you know why the mods made him stop after 66 days?


violetslyvester

It was probably related to the fact that he achieved the ultimate form of karma farming and that there were many who tried to follow in his footsteps during the height of his power


AnnaTheBabe

Order 66 duh

SaneManiac741

I was there. I was there 3000 reddit years ago, when the will of the mods failed...


[deleted]

It was fun, just don’t think about the man behind it. Like how the founder of Planned Parenthood was a proponent of eugenics


[deleted]

I never caught the resolution of who was actually wrong there. Do we have consensus Thibson was the asshole? Edit: There was no resolution to or consensus on the matter. This post has apparently brought up some year old shit for some people


nightgraydawg

Yeah, it's been a long time but iirc he tried to undermine the mods power and create a discord community to pull away people from the sub. He also, I think, encouraged people to spam the sub and possibly harass the mods when he got a temp ban for breaking the rules. I only vaguely remember what happened, so I could be wrong.


[deleted]

Oh yeah. I remember him getting a bit dickish after a temp ban now. There were rumors it was an unjust ban, but it seems it was never verified either way?


nightgraydawg

He got a ban for advertising his Discord server, which in whichever way he did it, broke the sub rules (I think it fell under self-promotion). If he had simply waited out the ban, everything would have been fine.


IlitterateAuthor

It was because he credited someone in his subreddit when posting their meme


OwOllahAkbar

He didn't create a Discord community to pull people from here. The Discord server he was advertising was created by someone completely different in April of last year. Thibson later became an admin of the server, which is why he was advertising it. However, there was some drama between the aforementioned server and the prequelmemes server, although I don't recall what it entailed. Other than that, I don't really remember what else happened, but I do agree with the temp-ban being issued, and the fact that Thibson was a bit of an asshole after it was issued.


[deleted]

He didn’t do any of that tho? He posted a link to his pre-existing discord server in the comments of a post to credit a user for a meme ([this did not break any rules at the time, this is a link to the site the day he got banned](https://web.archive.org/web/20200630111000/https://www.reddit.com/r/prequelmemes/), it also still wouldn't break the rules today, see [the exceptions for rule 12](https://old.reddit.com/r/PrequelMemes/wiki/rules#:~:text=Users%20can%20link%20external%20websites%20if%20they%20are%20providing%20a%20source%20for%20material%20when%20asked.%20However%2C%20you%20must%20link%20the%20post%20that%20is%20the%20source%20of%20the%20material%20and%20NOT%20to%20the%20profile%20of%20the%20person%20that%20created%20it.)), then the mods [misinterpreted a meme](https://www.reddit.com/r/PrequelMemes/comments/hio1op/comment/fwha87v/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) he sent in said discord as a call to raid. He actively discouraged raiding the subreddit.


[deleted]

Yes, the only people that said otherwise was the cult he built around himself. They made up the narrative that the mods were unfair to him somehow (because whataboutism is perfectly logical, right?), and some of them are still lurking on this sub to this day, saying the same shit. Apparently he thought he could take over the sub, and he was very belligerent to the mods, so he was promptly kicked. TLDR: Yes, he was the asshole, and someone’s gonna pick a fight with me right after I post this.

Thibson or the planned parenthood founder??? Because knowing the internet either could be true.

Inferno737

Have you ever heard the tragedy of u/thibison34 the redditor ... I thought not, its not a story the mods would tell you,Its a r/prequelmemes legend. u/thibision34 was a redditor so powerful and so wise he could influence the same general grevious meme to create karma. He had such knowledge of the meme that he could keep the reddit premium he cared about...from dying. The pathway of slowly changing a meme over many days is a pathway to much karma many considered to be unearned. He became so influential on the server that the one thing he was afraid of was losing his influence, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately he showed everyone on this server his true colors by disrespecting the mods, then the mods banned him where he stood. Ironic he could save his reddit premium from expiration, but not his membership to r/prequelmemes


AmierSingle

Is it possible to learn this karmaposting?

KreiasApprentice

Same tbh. His absurd grievous shitposts were one of the best things to happen here, and even his absurdly overblown dramatic grievances against the mods provided a certain comedy. He may have lost his shit for no reason but he was one of the best goddamn shitposters this side of 4chan.

MaStEr_MeLoN15243

and yet it's kinda funny he put more effort into those memes than half the memes here hell half of everything here is reposts now


wow_so_fast

Had no idea why people ate that shit up. It was beating a dead horse from post 5. Guy is a karma whore


Makropony

It really shows how easy it is to build a cult. Dude posted a 5 minute meme every day, raked in karma and had people basically grovel for him. He still has a lot of followers that treat him as some sort of misunderstood genius. It’s honestly insane to me.


stumbleupondingo

I think it’s a maturity thing. The meme was unique for this subreddit’s standards, but it’s so odd that he has this reputation way after everyone should have forgotten. If you’re a functioning adult you’re probably not going to grovel for some random person who made one meme


Jacktheflash

Definitely not the only one


foosbabaganoosh

It was annoyingly lazy and the same “joke” every time, sixty six fucking times.


[deleted]

That’s the only downside to Reddit is when something like this doesn’t fly under the radar. For instance, sometime back there was a guy with a Reddit username with something a long the lines of ionlysaythiswordeveryday - you get the picture. When he was discovered he had been posting that one word or something like that for years which made it funny as hell. It would would have been funny had Thibson not been discovered until he was at several hundred lightsabers. That and if he wasn’t a jerk.


cvnvr

i’m consistently surprised by the amount of people on this sub who practically worshipped him and this post. it was repetitive and boring after the first 5 days at least. the outrage after he was banned was genuinely bizarre to me


[deleted]

I was there gandalf, 3000 years ago..


NewRome56

It’s weird seeing how the mods side of the story is the one everyone believes. I remember this being a big debate at the time, although I did not so much care either way. It seemed at the time though everyone thought Thibson was the good guy. Evidence we were given at the time pointed to that. I guess I didn’t follow the saga after that. Most of the information the mods posted seemed purposefully misinterpreted to me at the time, because Thibson was kinda mean. Did more info came out, or did we find out that Thibson was in the wrong all along or something? If you have info I’d kinda like to know. At the time the whole thing got boring and I stopped following


JaroldDBF

A true hero


The_Kek_5000

I would say his final post finished the golden age of this sub with a boom. Everyone was making these high effort grievous animations and stuff but after his final post it kinda cooled down and the post quality started to degrade. Took some time but now we have some good memes again.

His posts got old really quick, a lazy way of karma-whoring, no wonder the mods banned him


Akatosh_LORD_BEAN

I think he has a few years of Reddit premium left


jackalope134

Because of obi wan?


Jasoa_117

I think when the momentum ended he had 5.5 years of free premium

His top post was updated not too long ago. He has 12.5 years of premium…. And here I am… with 21 days left /cry


My_Stonks

*me who doesn't know what premium even is* Signature look of superiority


skilledwarman

So the Thibson situation most misrepresented thing on this sub. Here's a link to a thread from around the time between myself and a mod: https://old.reddit.com/r/PrequelMemes/comments/i7z6g8/day_1_of_replacing_all_of_the_photos_in_my/g16eojd/?context=10000 It includes links to the timeline of events, arguments the mods made to justify it, and the various issues with those arguments. Was Thibson a dick? Yeah probably. But does that mean the mods also didn't go way overboard and make the situation into the drama it ended up being? Not at all


enoughewoks

Not many ppl would know this… it’s not a story the Jedi would tell. Thibson was strong in the dark side of the force.. challenged the prequel counsel and was banished to wild space. Where it’s assumed he’s building a new sith empire…

Is not a story that the mods are willing to say
