i remember at a message board back in the day
there was this cat named mr. kazoo
(or something like that, names changed to protect the innocent)
one of those 30+ posts/day types- you know the kind

anyway, he always bragged about going to princeton
claiming to have made money in the dot com bubble
always had the best women
living in a penthouse
trying to dish out advice about the stock market
claimed to have servants, butlers, etc.
now normal people saw problems right away
like his penthouse started at 1500 sq ft
when someone pointed out that was sorta small
shyt magically grew to 5000 sq ft

he made a thread about his memories of princeton
people who had actually gone to princeton were like what is this bullshyt??
he called THEM trolls and kept posting

even when they were offering their princeton.edu address
getting verified as actual alumni
mr. kazoo just doubled down and stayed in character
one time he got caught putting up a picture of some girl from maxim
people called bullshyt
so he just claimed to be dating that girl in real life
people pointed out his stock advice was nonsensical
it showed zero familiarity with how things actually worked
but mr. kazoo just kept cooking

making 1000's upon 1000's of posts about a subject he knew nothing about
the whole time he would call people plebes
make fun of the working class
talking about firing his cook for burning his dinner

...until someone get sick of his bullshyt and did an exposal
turns out he was a 46 year old pizza deliveryman
missing half his teeth

probably still a virgin
living in some little 1-room shack
people were driving by and taking reconnaissance pictures

calling his job to make complaints about his attitude

contacting his mother with questions

(she confirmed he was a community college dropout)
... you get the idea
admin made a sticky detailing all his lies
but mr kazoo just kept posting

he didn't even acknowledge the exposal
he kept rocking the same gimmick
afterwards his rep stats remained about the same

i think 60-70% of the board was already ignoring him
that's the thing about these 10,000+ message posters

they have their fan base, either big or small
and those people will stay loyal no matter what gets exposed
shyt, 20% of people still question the moon landing

so mr. kazoo still had people co-signing his penthouse lifestyle stories
most were just

but a few were probably 100% serious
then one day, about 2 years after getting exposed, poor mr. kazoo disappeared in the wind
people speculated that he couldn't pay his light bill or his computer died
and that was all she wrote- so long, it was nice knowing you
