That's a scummy thing to do to someone causing now harm.
Always entertaining to see people who don't know anything about 4chan aside from the sensationalist headlines weigh in on the site.
Even though I stopped going there a while back, it has some of the best communities and creative minds out there. /b/ sadly is not like the rest of 4chan though.

And why's that exactly?
Some /fit/zens are making torrent backups of Scooby's videos, in case he deletes them. They're really helpful and include tons of useful tips so it would be great if they were preserved for future generations.
Even /b/ is not as shitty as people seem to think. Some people are pretty nice and actually helpful. Of course, not everyone is nice, and there are some truly fucked up people there, but no online community is exempt of that.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was those shitstains from /sp/.

Shame for the dude. He seems a legit fella. I'm sure he'll land on his feet. I checked some of his stuff and I'm impressed. I may avail myself of his beautiful knowledge. His learn to run vid was pretty dope.
What's happening?
dat dere dude is Zyzz, a famous fitzen. He died but he served as an inspiration for many. He's here with us, in our hearts ;_;
I'd drop my spaghetti for him.

I remember they went after popular speedrunner/streamer CosmoWright. They got his number of his website that he used for professional stuff outside of gaming and kept harassing him. Pretty sure it happened on his streams a few times and also happened at AGDQ in January. Pretty sure he had to get a new number and everything. I'm just glad it didn't go beyond that (at least I don't think so).
For real this dude sounded like he was fighting back tears that entire video. I've never even heard of this dude until right now but my heart breaks. It's crap like this that sometimes makes me wish everything you did on the Internet was in some way linked to your real life so you couldn't bully and harass people and get away with it just because it happened online.

Fair play to him, going out on a message of hope.

I use to watch a lot of his videos, it really helped me out with many things from lifting to nutrition. As soon as I saw the thread title my first thought was "Please don't be Scooby, please don't be Scooby". Then I clicked and said "DAMN IT".
Even though I'm Asian part of me was really hoping it was Michael Chang instead lol.

Scooby's overreacting majorly. None of the other tripcode users who were harrassed are being remotely this dramatic.

I think all the single letter boards are terrible (/b/, /v/, /a/ etc), but the rest are ok. There's people on /fit/ that are legit cool people, cooler than us dorks.
seriously, I love /fit/ and people love scooby why do bad thing happen to things I love.

There's people on every largish board who do this shit, they just like to pretend they're somehow above it. Sure it's all about the culture that formed and propagated on /b/ but it's not confined there.

Dont the basement dwellers of 4chan have anything better to do? They are so pathetic
The neckbeards of 4chan couldn't kill a house fly. I'm surprised they still have the push to ruin any life on demand.
I wouldn't fuck with anonymous for sure.
Every troll on the internet posting on one site can only lead to some super villain shit.

If you ever want a place that can show you the most amazing things and then horrify you with the click of a finger then 4chan is your place

Just went to /b/ out of curiosity and there was a thread targeting animal abuse. Ended up having a poster that posted step by step pictures of how he poured gasoline on a live cat and burned it. Fuck that shit
/b/ is kept around to keep the shit in there. plus people would lose their shit. Moot (the creator) had backlash when he delete /new/ and /r9k/, so imagine the scale if /b/ is deleted. That person would be harassed everyday.

The thing about /b/ is it has this reputation for being dark and edgy and whatever, so it's the first place people think of when they read the word "4chan" and of course, for the curious, it's the first place they go.
/b/ sucks because it's full of kids, really. There are the fringe guys who know how to ddos and all that, they pull the stunts but the majority are early teens who get off on "epic meemz".
when people graduate from /b/, i.e, realise how shit it is, their next port of call 9 times out of 10 is /v/, which is why that board is such a mess, and has been for years.
/sp/, /fit/, /co/ are all full of great people, and even when they get mad or troll each other, it's fairly genial. /sp/ in particular is a great place to go even for non-sport things like the Eurovision Song Contest, did that last year, was hilarious.

He's overreacting because he's worried about his family's safety? yea, ok..

Wow, this thread inspired me to get fit and become a shredded sick cunt. I didn't know about Scooby and Zyzz before.

What a shame. Guy comes across as such a friendly guy. Will watch all his videos if I like the first few, which I think I will. And what did the guy do to "deserve" all this? He should definitely report these threads.

I hate when 4chan targets innocent people.
