Whither Bikini?

[DREKTUNES]

Anybody seen our buddy Bikiniarmstrong lately?

[Why Not?]

Stalker! ;)

[DREKTUNES]

Stalker! ;)

Naw, there are plenty of others ahead of me on that one. :D

This user was banned for trying to skirt the 500 post rule. I traced the user's IP to a new account's IP with basically the same email. That's a no-no. End of story. If this hadn't happen, you could all still be reveling in the bikiniarmstrong experience.

And guys, you have to be internet savvy. Seriously.

Now I'm not going to reveal any personal information. I will speak in generalities.

I can find out a lot about a user. The IP is very handy. I can trace you to your job or hometown. If I can trace you to your job, this can very helpful. For example, if your IP resolved to something like houston.nasa - you work in Houston for Nasa. It's even more help when all of the IP's for a user resolve to the same host - as opposed to seeing a home IP, work IP, starbuck's IP, etc.

Some jobs reveal more about a person than other jobs. And sometimes you hit a homerun, where you just can absolutely figure out what a person does and where they live. And all I'll say is, I'm not really certain the stuff in 'her' profile is legit. I may be wrong, but at the end of the day, it doesn't matter... This wasn't the first poster to be banned for trying to steal from us, and it won't be the last.

Oh my god, the random bikini model wasn't who she said she was.

COLOR ME SHOCKED!!! ;)

I question your choice of pronoun here, Wedge.

I question my choice of not caring. :D

Hey guys, I'm a bikini model. Here, let me post some pics...

I was suspicious when she invited me to North Carolina to hang out. And - just to be clear - a woman's interest in me does make me suspicious.

Sadly, I thought it was my gender-based deconstruction of his/her screenname that ran her off. Now I find out s/he's just cheap.

[Moose Milligan]

Would love to know who "she" was, though....

She invited you down there, too? Well she wanted me to do a "photo shoot" with her.

Wow, I thought I was special.

:D

You'd think someone trying to skirt the 500 post rule would try to be a little more ... inconspicuous.

There was more conversation than I care to admit to about her/ him, and his/ her gender. And she/ he invited me too, so I'm beginning to think it was some kind of slave trade/ butcher deal. Because, even though I am married to a lovely girl, I am made even more suspicious by interest in me. Drag. Heh.


Would love to know who "she" was, though....

So say we all.

[McLovin]

I would expect *many* similar comments... "We had a connection!"

[Spoonless]

Is it one of those things where you plan to go visit, but something suddenly happens, and she needs you to wire her several thousand dollars to pay for an emergency operation?

[Lucky Jim]

I would expect *many* similar comments... "We had a connection!"

Well, s/he was very clear to me that she *wasn't* a stripper.

At which point I lost interest.

Anybody ever see that Monty Python sketch where the comely lass beckons the mailman into a room suggestively, and locks him in, where he finds a room filled with mailmen, some who've obviously been there for ages?

Yeah. That.

That said...hi-larious. I wonder which one of us would have been done in like Roy Hobbs?

Frobby doesn't know just how much he lucked out.

Now I feel strangely inadequate for not rating an invite to Carolina ... as if I've been gorging myself on soy products.

Haha s/he invited me to meet up with her when she came to Salisbury. I told her I was in a relationship (not true) and she told me not to worry she wasn't interested in a relationship.

We should start a poll asking whether bikiniarmstrong was a boy or a girl. In fact...

Don't bother. I'm pretty sure we all know it was a guy. We just had this weird unspoken code of conduct where we just winked and went along with it.

[DREKTUNES]

Even though he's a big trouble making jerk, I gotta give Sakata credit for calling this one ages ago.

[TinCup]

OK, raise yout hand if you have BA "released" from your friends list?


FWIW, not me, keeping my hand down as she never made it on my list...for some reason.

Oh, no worries - I was just being bitter and curmudgeonly because the Tags don't rank the entries by time. It's like people forgetting about Neil Armstrong's first moonsteps just because some other guy hit a five iron a little while later.

And yes, I'm aware of the pun.
And yes, I'm comparing my LOLA tag to a walk on the moon.

"laces out dan"? Google gives no help. Anybody?

"laces out dan"? Google gives no help. Anybody?

Pretty sure that's an Ace Ventura - Dan Marino reference.

[ScottieBaseball]

"laces out dan"? Google gives no help. Anybody?

Lois Einhorn's vendetta with Dan Marino. He/she missed the winning field goal and alleged that Marino blew the hold because the laces were in. "Laces out, Dan!"

[The Wedge]

"laces out dan"? Google gives no help. Anybody?

Ace Ventura reference. Lois Einhorn, who was actually a man who used to kick for the Dolphins, blamed missing a big kick on Dan Marino because he didn't hold the ball correctly.

[DREKTUNES]

Pretty sure that's an Ace Ventura - Dan Marino reference.

Ah. Haven't seen it since it came out. Doing Time on Melrose Drive, anyone?

So let me see. Some of you guys fell for a "bikini swimsuit model" who not only changed her picture to someone else (from the originals), had invited several of you to places like North Carolins and Salisbury despite the fact that she supposedly lived in Utah?

A few of you might not want to visit the young girl who was chatting with you either before you end up on 20/20. :D

For the record...after you put the Mike's Hard Lemonade in the fridge and the flowers on the table and the NBC reporter comes into the kitchen with the cameras following, save us the bad publicity and DON'T say, "I met her on the Orioles Hangout! She said she was 18!" Thanks! :D

I still love you, BikiniArmstrong. I don't care if you're from Utah, Greenland, Guam, or Hagerstown. I don't care what your age is. Your race. Your religion. Your political affiliation. I don't care if the world ends tomorrow or if I have to go days without water. All I care about is you, my darling. We will be together again one of these days. I know it. I believe it. Maybe here. Maybe on the Jimmy Eat World message board. Or maybe our paths will cross and we'll meet accidentally. But you will forever be in my heart.

Right on she/he definitely changed her picture from the red dress with the Marine guy to the scantily clad skank OH girl that wasn't a girl. Every time I ever looked at her profile she was always private messaging and what I found/find funny is that it says who she/he private messages.

If you and Jim ever get down there, watch out for the "orange kool aid" unless you see her drink it first.

Bikiniarmstrong is an interesting case if I look into it. This user has been with us since 2005, joining as 'Autographs2005'. There aren't many posts that have survived pruning, but all that's left are sincere autograph inquiries.

The user then started to use the account 'bikiniarmstrong' in May. This alter ego started out talking serious, knowledgeable baseball. Then you'll find several posts that randomly reference the user's ex Marine boyfriend. Then no more mention of the Marine, no more baseball talk, and 400+ posts mostly in the Games forum tickling Hangouter's with sexual innuendo's...

Girl or guy, I have no real idea. Doesn't matter to me really - I'm clean either way!

[erb8472]

I've got a feeling BobMC is getting ready to give us all some knowledge on this situation. :D

I'm still in SoCal til next Friday Bob.

Fixed that for ya!

* Derivation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archetype) He messes with minds! :eektf:

[Dipper9]

This thread is cracking me up. Here are some assumptions I have made on this whole bikiniarmstrong character.

1) I am fairly certain that anyone who payed her/him the least bit of attention got some kind of P.M. from him/her. Guilty!

2) When the profile pic changed from sweet little girl in a prom dress to fake breasted thing wearing bikini model, that's when the red flag went up with most of us.

3) HanksGF called this thing from the start. Everyone else who is NOW saying they knew is full of poop!

4) As I said last Saturday at Hangout Night, there is only one person on the Hangout capable of this farce. Its the same person who posts scantily clad women daily in his avatar. Bikiniarmstrong is....... WEAMS!

Now, what I really want to know is this. Those of us like myself and Drek who are married and were plkaying along is one thing. But I want to know...which of you single guys were actually caught up in this whole thing and were considering meeting up with the elusive Msssster Armstrong? :scratchchinhmm:

[Dr. FLK]

This user was banned for trying to skirt the 500 post rule. I traced the user's IP to a new account's IP with basically the same email. That's a no-no. End of story. If this hadn't happen, you could all still be reveling in the bikiniarmstrong experience.

And guys, you have to be internet savvy. Seriously.

Now I'm not going to reveal any personal information. I will speak in generalities.

I can find out a lot about a user. The IP is very handy. I can trace you to your job or hometown. If I can trace you to your job, this can very helpful. For example, if your IP resolved to something like houston.nasa - you work in Houston for Nasa. It's even more help when all of the IP's for a user resolve to the same host - as opposed to seeing a home IP, work IP, starbuck's IP, etc.

Some jobs reveal more about a person than other jobs. And sometimes you hit a homerun, where you just can absolutely figure out what a person does and where they live. And all I'll say is, I'm not really certain the stuff in 'her' profile is legit. I may be wrong, but at the end of the day, it doesn't matter... This wasn't the first poster to be banned for trying to steal from us, and it won't be the last.

After some interesting PMs from "Ms. Bikini"...I totally guessed that she was a man baby...Are you confirming my suspicion?

FWIW, not me, keeping my hand down as she never made it on my list...for some reason.

I am guilty of sending her a PM based solely on the premise of recruiting her talents(this was before the scantily clad pics) in the area of bikini sciences. I believe that our president Drektunes made me do it for the cause. And then last week I get a pm from IT (thanks FLK) asking me about the thread that I started about how many profile views you had and then IT tries to play dumb with me saying I wonder why so many people look at my profile. So I'm clean also. I think that someone said that SanFran is on his way to topsail, nc which I think could be spot on. Another person she was pm'ing quite a bit that I noticed was one poster with the handle 'sideburns'

I usually surf with 6-10 tabs open and I think I left hir profile open the other day while I was on one of my marathon Achewood (http://achewood.com/index.php?date=10242003) binges and zie sent me this "I noticed you looked at my profile. See anything you like?" type message and I said that one of those pairs of shoes looks uncomfortable and then zie was like "So you like looking at my shoes, huh?" and I was like "Okay............?"

[itsernst]

I just think this situation is flat out creepy...not other way to put it. Some people on here, thanks baby jesus I am not one of them...were wayyyyyy into it...look at some of the threads in the Games section and you can see it.

Whether alcohol contributed to that, we may never know...but what we do know is...

My Name is Chris Hansen and I am from Dateline NBC.

[Old#5fan]

I was suspicious when she invited me to North Carolina to hang out. And - just to be clear - a woman's interest in me does make me suspicious.

Sadly, I thought it was my gender-based deconstruction of his/her screenname that ran her off. Now I find out s/he's just cheap.

Hey, she did the same to me and said he would model one of her bikini's for me in her shop. Granted, this was knowing I am 53 years old and sight unseen!:laughlol:

[J.D.]

I'm single, but I never once flirted with it. I always had a really strong idea, though I won't say that I knew from the beginning.

About the longest interaction I had with it was when I was volunteered to ask it if its pictures were real.

Consequently, I also never got invited to North Carolina. Lame. :rofl:

[eb45]

Just saw it's new profile pic. Now I'm scared to go to bed.

[Hallas]

I'm single, and I'll admit to exchanging some bad PMs. I can also say confidently that I didn't get caught up mentally in it. I think I've been on the internet too long for the flags not to come up.

Plus, I thought that the stripper version was a butterface.

[Moose Milligan]

A couple of things:

I had a fleeting thought that bikiniarmstrong was actually a mod having a good time with members of the board...a bit of a prank/hoax, if you will. Then I thought better of it once the sexual PM's started rolling in.

I totally called her out on PMing other members after FLK and I talked and exchanged what...uh...topics...were covered or uncovered in our conversations. Suddenly she stopped PMing me. :)

I PMed her a couple days later asking what happened and if we could still be friends ;) and she wrote back that she was hurt that I would go behind her back and talk about her with another member :laughlol: After a good chortle I wrote her back and told her that she wasn't fooling anyone by PMing practically all the OH regulars. :) Never heard from her again.

[mweb]

I never said anything to he/she on here, but I was lucky enough to get a PM from her with a compliment regarding my looks after posting on the profile views thread. She got quite insulted when I said I wasn't sure if I believed her to be who she said she was. I never got invited to NC but she did say she wanted to come out to SoCal. She asked me what I would show her a few times, and it became obvious she was looking for a sexual answer. I didn't feel comfortable going down that route considering I didn't know if I was even talking to a girl, and I didn't know him/her period. We were exchanging messages very recently, so who knows where it would have went.

I will admit that I continued to talk to him/her due to the slight chance she was who she said she was, but I certainly was quite skeptical. I also never saw the marine pic or paid any attention to her before, so I didn't have any of this info people are mentioning that made it seem even more suspicious.

Interesting experience though.

So there's my bikini story.:laughlol:

[RShack]

This user was banned for trying to skirt the 500 post rule. I traced the user's IP to a new account's IP with basically the same email. That's a no-no. End of story. If this hadn't happen, you could all still be reveling in the bikiniarmstrong experience.

And guys, you have to be internet savvy. Seriously.

Now I'm not going to reveal any personal information. I will speak in generalities.

I can find out a lot about a user. The IP is very handy. I can trace you to your job or hometown. If I can trace you to your job, this can very helpful. For example, if your IP resolved to something like houston.nasa - you work in Houston for Nasa. It's even more help when all of the IP's for a user resolve to the same host - as opposed to seeing a home IP, work IP, starbuck's IP, etc.

Some jobs reveal more about a person than other jobs. And sometimes you hit a homerun, where you just can absolutely figure out what a person does and where they live. And all I'll say is, I'm not really certain the stuff in 'her' profile is legit. I may be wrong, but at the end of the day, it doesn't matter... This wasn't the first poster to be banned for trying to steal from us, and it won't be the last.
So, if all the folks who were infatuated decided to chip in and buy bikini a membership, would you let bikini back in?

Also, 'just curious: Did you think about letting the new-bikini account go on for a while, just for the entertainment value of seeing what would happen?

I can't believe people were watching the bikini account to see who she was PM'ing.

ps: I also can't believe you busted me for using b*tch as a synonym for complain, yet you let all the juicy jerk-off crap happen in the add-3-words thread ;-)

I was curious to see what everyone was talking about, so I did check out it's profile. A couple hours later, I received that same message from it. So to humor myself, I responded back about how nice the pictures were. It kept responding back wanting to know what picture was my favorite. I just kept responding that I liked the ones with just the shoes. I guess it got tired of me not seriously answering the question, so it eventually stopped PM'ing me.... and I didn't even get an invite to Carolina to go to a photo shoot.

Yeah, I wonder if some of the newer members realize that we DO talk to one another???? We are not just faceless "handles" on a message board.

Also, it is becoming more and more obvious that IT did this PM thing until each person caught on and questioned IT. As soon at that happened, she cut off PM communications and went on to the next victim. Guess we are not all as dumb as Drek looks! :)

[McLovin]

After some interesting PMs from "Ms. Bikini"...I totally guessed that she was a man baby...Are you confirming my suspicion?
I didn't say that exactly.

[The Wedge]

Am I the only one to not to exchange PM's with it? At least I don't think I did. Not like you guys are talking about anyway.

[McLovin]

So, if all the folks who were infatuated decided to chip in and buy bikini a membership, would you let bikini back in?

No. If you get caught shoplifting, should you be let go if someone offers to pay for the stolen goods? And there are at least 4 great registered members who still use this board regularly, but have 500 posts and can't afford a Plus Membership. These people would have my charity vote first.

Also, 'just curious: Did you think about letting the new-bikini account go on for a while, just for the entertainment value of seeing what would happen?

No. You steal, you banned.

Half the boards were completely going "wtf?" about the user, so why wouldn't they be keeping an eye on "her?"

Like I said, I took some of those bikini pictures to another forum to see if the horndogs over there recognized the pictures as any sort of model, adult or otherwise. They had to pull the pictures from somewhere.

Number 1, you don't have to bring this up in every correspondence with me - PM, Rep, Quote - I get it. Emoticon or not, it's just odd that you can't let that go.

Number 2, we don't police every thread. We rely on our users to report the things we don't see. You're right, even though I skimmed through it yesterday, it didn't register with me that the three words thread is out of hand. I will close it and file infractions where necessary.

Speaking as a staff member at another site, my radar would have been up fairly early and I definitely would have been "watching" that account. But that's not a knock against you, it's actually quite rare that we get absolute weirdo stuff like that around here. It's pretty common over where I "work."

I changed the profile picture, because I'm exceedingly immature while also full of vengeance. Ask IHeartMasn how that goes.

I haven't been monitoring the album pictures, but they are the same as the first time I saw them yesterday. Not sure what's changed over time...

Oh, thank goodness. Now at least I can keep my fantasy alive that Bikini was actually who she said she was and not a fake.:o I like to think she was the cute girl in the photo and just being nice to people (naive I know, but pleasant thought anyway).;)

It would be so interesting and funny to count emails by user to BA. I promise I won't though...

I did do some high level analysis though, and determined that on some days, BA accounted for about 90% of our PM traffic. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just interesting...

How come we are allowed to have a 10 page thread on BikiniArmstrong when she is released? But when other, shall I say 'normal', users here get released for one reason or another, the thread that was created to ask 'why' is locked and we're told, "It's none of your business"? I find that funny. Why is BikiniArmstrong the exception? I find it funny too that 'management' is openly talking to us about what they do 'behind the scenes'. Really classy. Sounds a little like communism in a way. Just my proverbial two cents, as they say.

Did she? Really? I mean, I answered "her" flurry of emails. But never really tookn her "her" as real. I assumed the rest of the folks did the same.

As far as I go, it takes a lot more than a PM to get me under anyone's thumb. I've got far too many ex-es who'd gladly/bitterly attest to that. I assumed the general level of adulthood (*laugh*) on this board would preclude any true, nutty "head-over-heels" behavior.

But it's true, I think, that men aren't as attuned to female imposters as woman posters - the first warning sign should be when a woman poster so obviously foregrounds sexuality/objectifies herself. There are really only two brands of women who do that: (i) those operating for profit; (ii) those who aren't women.

As I noted before, as soon as I determined "she" wasn't the former, I lost interest. ;)

[Hank Scorpio]

This thread is entirely too funny to lock, IMO.

I find that funny. Why is BikiniArmstrong the exception?
A lot of times there is a lot of behind the scenes fighting that goes on - PM's, things are said to staff, etc. Stuff that we can't/won't say. Posters might say 'he was a good guy, this is BS!' - but don't know the full story and can't know the full story. I'd love to tell you some of the horrible things said to me and the threats that have been made, but I can't.

BA was dropped for registering for a second account. It's good to put this out there. Why? Because you should know the consequences. That's all I've really said about BA, outside of a general/non-BA specific warning to be internet savvy.


I find it funny too that 'management' is openly talking to us about what they do 'behind the scenes'. Really classy.
The only thing I've mentioned about behind the scenes stuff is that we traced IP's and queried PM volume.

We routinely trace IP's everyday, specifically to catch banned user's trying to re-register or to catch user's trying to skirt the 500 post rule. I wish everyone was honest and that we didn't have to do that.

If you have specific concerns or ideas about how you would prefer things be handled, please feel free to PM me.

Haha, me either. But then I've been here for like 5 years and have 34 PMs total (and half of those are replies that I sent to the people that PM'd me in the first place).

All I can say if a user is actually upset over all of this they may have been more involved with bikini than most.

It's extremely dissapointing to actually see someone get upset over this to the point my moderators had to take action.

Whether you got caught up with "her" or whether you knew bikini was not real from the beginning, or somewhere in between, it doesn't really matter. Her original photos were of a real person and it's understandable if a youg woman shows interest in you to show it back. Now, when she suddenly becomes "too interested" in you sight unseen, that's when I suspect the red flags should go up.

When you find out she's PMing half the guys on the board, red flags, red flashing lights, and sirens should go off.

When she changes her photos to some bikini model who wasn't the same as the person before, Chris Hansen should be e-mailing you telling you to stay away.

Seriously though, I don't think anyone thinks less of you no matter where you fall on the spectrum. Now to get all bent out of shape because of all of this is immature and ridiculous.

To be honest, you have no idea how much that bugs me. I could fix it, but I'm sure there are more important things I could work on. Have to pick my battles...

It has an UV Rating of 55.

It's only 30 SPF now, but it has 75 SPF potential. And in the meantime he picked up a cheap 40 SPF sunscreen that gives him a bit of a rash, but it gets the job done.

I didn't even know about BA until I read the "How many profile views do you have?" thread. Funny stuff.

[Stacey]

I usually surf with 6-10 tabs open and I think I left hir profile open the other day while I was on one of my marathon Achewood (http://achewood.com/index.php?date=10242003) binges and zie sent me this "I noticed you looked at my profile. See anything you like?" type message and I said that one of those pairs of shoes looks uncomfortable and then zie was like "So you like looking at my shoes, huh?" and I was like "Okay............?"

I got "I noticed you looking at my profile. Can I help you with anything?" I wrote back "No thanks" and never heard another word. It probably wouldn't have had much interest in me since I'm female, although who knows???

EWW

Edited to add: That definitely cements gender in my mind. I don't think many women would post pictures of themselves up on a profile in bikinis, although some certainly would. But I can only see a dude posing as a woman telling another woman "Hey, post pictures of yourself up there. It's great!"

I have a knack for sending people friend requests when they give me positive rep, and this was no exception with "Ms." bikiniarmstrong.

A few minutes after I sent my request, I received a PM from "her" asking why I wanted to be his/her friend? "Her" tone was slightly accusatory, so I said that I send everyone who gives me positive rep a request. Also, I told "her" that he/she needn't worry, because I'm dating right now and I'm not interested in "her" in that way. He/She apologized in "her" next PM and that's the last I ever heard from him/her. :noidea:

Someone started a good thread titled "Promoting a Return to Common Courtesy". You may want to check it out. :D *fistbump*

[weams]

This thread is cracking me up. Here are some assumptions I have made on this whole bikiniarmstrong character.

1) I am fairly certain that anyone who payed her/him the least bit of attention got some kind of P.M. from him/her. Guilty!

2) When the profile pic changed from sweet little girl in a prom dress to fake breasted thing wearing bikini model, that's when the red flag went up with most of us.

3) HanksGF called this thing from the start. Everyone else who is NOW saying they knew is full of poop!

4) As I said last Saturday at Hangout Night, there is only one person on the Hangout capable of this farce. Its the same person who posts scantily clad women daily in his avatar. Bikiniarmstrong is....... WEAMS!

Now, what I really want to know is this. Those of us like myself and Drek who are married and were plkaying along is one thing. But I want to know...which of you single guys were actually caught up in this whole thing and were considering meeting up with the elusive Msssster Armstrong? :scratchchinhmm:

Let me be quite clear. I am innocent of all charges. Ask Mclovin.

[weams]

I am guilty of sending her a PM based solely on the premise of recruiting her talents(this was before the scantily clad pics) in the area of bikini sciences. I believe that our president Drektunes made me do it for the cause. And then last week I get a pm from IT (thanks FLK) asking me about the thread that I started about how many profile views you had and then IT tries to play dumb with me saying I wonder why so many people look at my profile. So I'm clean also. I think that someone said that SanFran is on his way to topsail, nc which I think could be spot on. Another person she was pm'ing quite a bit that I noticed was one poster with the handle 'sideburns'


That did not play well for the Germans. Tsk, Tsk.

[weams]

Yes but it is so much more than that, I started the thread in the rants section as a fistbump hater and through the help of many of my new friends in the fellowship (you know who you are) I am a convert. We even have my wife in the fellowship as the chaplain, we are currently accepting applications from females as we now have only one, my wife. But alas we will prevail with or without you blueberryale.

Here's a question, back to the topic at hand...

Did this shim ever send any of your sketchballs any non-OH pictures?

Let's hear the "most interesting" conversation someone had with this young man. Just go to your private messages, copy and paste the oddest email it ever sent you.

Is that okay or is that against some obscure board rule? Like the law that says you can't let your dog sleep in your bathtub...
