A hilarious story about
Yoshi55:
Hey guys! I'm a NES fan and active on a few NES forums. One of these is NESPlayer.com. For a long time we've been plagued by an homophobic argumentative hyperposter named Yoshi55. I believe you may have heard of him. Actually, I know so, because one of the things he [complained] about (and he [complained]
a lot) was this forum, about how he was banned because everyone was "Nazi" about the Super Nintendo (by the way, I looked that up, totally funny stuff). Anyway, no one really liked him, but NESPlayer is a tiny under-active community, and the site management is pretty relaxed so he was never banned or anything. So he's been posting away for years about how everything sucks, right? Well, a fellow named Homogroxxual started a thread "Why Yoshi55 sucks" and we listed some 30-odd reasons why he sucks. Well, about the 4th page, Homogroxxual finds his youtube moniker, VaderNES. It's a lot of really strange, poorly made videos. This gets the site owner googling and he finds a "Yoshi55" on a reptile forum giving out advice about lizards. Then I start googling him and find themushroomkingdom.net. But then it gets weird. I find a quizilla page where Yoshi55 made a quiz on John Cena, the wrestler. It was a poorly made fan quiz--but what do you know, at the end of the quiz the last question asks if John Cena is sexy. The only answer is yes. Mind you he's terribly homophobic and uses the words "g*y" and "f*g" incessantly.
So I come back and post links on my findings. I totally outed him. He logged in shortly after my post. He never replied and he hasn't been back since! We agreed you guys should be in on this, since you're the only other people who might have heard of Yoshi55 and could get a kick out of it.

Yoshi55/VaderNES on youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/user/VaderNESPlease note that Yoshi55 started posting as "Dry Yoshi55" after a forum mishap where old logins didn't work for awhile. So he made a new one and liked it enough to keep it. So you'll see his posts as "Dry Yoshi55," but if you want to search the site for his hilarious nonsense also search for "Yoshi55."
Cool forum you guys have! I would've made a new topic, but I can't since I'm a new member, so I thought I'd bring this one back as it's the most relevant. Anyway, I might lurk here a bit--see ya'll around!
