So I got turned onto this now completed webcomic:
http://www.freakangels.com/
It's basically the story of these twelve people that are born at the exact same time in a small town in the English countryside. These twelve people suffer from the same condition which includes albino skin, dark hair, purple eyes, and psychic powers.

14 years after they're born the apocalypse happens, in an event commonly referred to as "the crash", or "the flood"... Which amongst other things, caused a massive tidal wave to flood Britain with sea water, killing most of the population and generally making things all apocalypse-ey.

Some years after that, the Freakangels are now a gang of psychic people that are trying to defend and build up their settlement in the partially still flooded district of Whitechapel, London.

It's a deeply dark comic about personal relationships, drug use, psychological trauma, becoming an adult, and above all else the use and abuse of power, specifically their crazy powerful psychic powers.

I absolutely love it.

Of a sort. Apparently he was a dude who had a lot of proxy accounts, leading to the myth that everyone here is a proxy account of his.
A modern equivalent was Comrade Garafov, who was banned and promptly returned. He did this 5 times. Once he even made a thread about his own banishment, to the amusement of Bay12 when his identity was revealed.

Oh, I know who Pathos is/was. Mostly a rhetorical question.

Bay12 has what, three unique memes? At least three I know of.
Every one is Pathos: A reference to the user Pathos who made multiple accounts, but was consistently a jerk.
Release the Magma: A Boatmurdered reference, used to describe the indiscriminate destruction of a horrific force.
TASTES LIKE SAAAATAAANNNNN!!!!: A quote from Jackrabit, in response to a thread about eating demon rats.

There is also the occasional references to Cacame, the eleven king of the Dwarves, and harvesting mermaid bones.

Double Down man?

What the fuck is a double down man?

Max, perhaps you were too young to be struck by Doubledown Syndrome. Count yourself among the fortunate.

"Nature's first meme is gold.
Her hardest joke to hold.
Her early pic's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then meme subsides to meme
And reference sinks to dream,
Dawn goes double-down to day,
Nothing gold can stay."
- Colonel Sanders

You mean from the days when this forum was a little more silly, rather than a basket of emotions?
Sort of only caught the tail of of that... Still, we will sometimes have the occasional pun off, for old times sake.

I asked for a kiss from my lover.

I got 10.

I asked for a kiss from my lover.

I got 10.

At once?
Do I know your lover, Kai?

[kaijyuu]

Well, in succession.

And she's visited the forum a few times. She's my fiancee, and all.

D'awww!

Be careful about asking for children.

[kaijyuu]

Bwahahaha.

Naw, we've more or less agreed to have 1-3.

[Max White]

Coming from a family of three children, I must say, one is kinder to all involved.

[kaijyuu]

Non-existence is kinder than a little strenuous family relationships?
