For individual meltdown, I would definately nominate Kitsune (?).. he was on the EZboards as foxspiritwind or somethinger-other. He wrote great posts that were typically very long then he flipped when people found out he wasn't really posting from Japan.

Chittagong said:The original MEGATON was pretty f'ing epic. I think it was what brought me originally into GAF. My memory is a bit sketchy, but I think it was Federman who pulled this story up from his arse about Nintendo + Capcom + Sega merging for the ultimate Japanese gaming giant. Like Thursdayton after it, the timing was genius since Capcom and Sega were performing really poorly financially and were subjects of takeover rumors. Also, Jump magazine had been hinting about an "industry redefining announcement that would have the impact of a megaton bomb", which is where the name came from. The announcement turned out to be Naruto for GC of course, not a merger.
The icing on the cake was a pixelated image that was "reverse-engineered" to be Sonic, Mega Man and Mario.
Heh. In hindsight I was pretty skeptical at first. "It could still show 2 uhelpful views."Code_Link said:http://www.goodcowfilms.com/farm/basement/ga-archive/nintendo-mystery-product-pg1-01-20-2004.htm
Haha, some of the Nintendo DS lovin' peeps weren't so much before.

I don't remember, which E3 was the "Sickens Me" thing? That later became a bannable phrase as well.
That's only for the current incarnation of the boards though, the board has had like five or six revisions and moved from different forum hosting sites and everything, i can't remember the whole history of this place anymore.
