Tell me more about Andreus

[Telstra]

A thread becomes SO popular, that it eventually drags you in, so here i am. And, now that i am, i no longer have faith that anybody is real except for myself. However, with that in mind, how do i know i'm really alive, this could all be a dream, a continuation of a life unknown to be ceased, this thread is a mind-fuck. Good-night, god bless.

God bless ? What the ..?

I should write a horror short story about being a persona based around this story here.... and finding out none of my ID is real and my name never existed. lol.

Staying off topic a bit longer, I think Peto was not a fake or a sock puppet. He was an original who maybe had a lot of fantasy going on.
When he first started posting he talked alot about his big, uncut Italian cock and about being a professor at a college in Canada and that seemed to annoy alot of people, but he certainly had the knowledge of music and opera to teach that course.

I can visualize the photo that was allegedly of Andreus' face. It was of the same bronze-hued set like his avatar body photo was. I remember that someone posted beneath that they could recommend a good brand of acme ointment to him, and was admonished by a mod for the nasty comment.

The story about being shot in Iraq was so weird. Who on earth would be going to a war zone like that, if they weren't in the military? And then wind up shot. Bizarre.

 

[star-warrior]

I liked Peto. He was interesting, and posted a phenomenal amount of hot pics in the porn forums. I think he got addicted to posting stuff here, and in his own words, it was ''nuts!".

I remember when he self deleted. I was kinda sad he went away.

So do you have someone, who in case of your death, will scan your death certificate a mail it to JUB?

Nope? Thought so

Haha! Nah, not JUB. Other forums perhaps. Some evidence should be given to verify death. A newspaper article or something. Or the Garden shouldn't exist at all.

 

[bobobo]

Andreus Thanos shares Greek language roots meaning "dead man." Hmm.

So when you die, you 're certain that there is a newspaper article about your death? What about the common man?

 

[Callum]

An obituary for sure. Common practice here for anyone, common or not.

Are you kidding me?

 

[star-warrior]

thanos probably from thanatos

Thanatos (Death) and Hynos (Sleep) were twins, sons of Nyx (Night) and Erebos (Darkness).

Andreus probably from andro Greek: man, men, male, masculine

 

[Callum]

Andras is also a known powerful demon, who brings some other website and strife, warfare.

 

[star-warrior]

Obituary works if people on here knew your full name.

And if anyone is willing to fork out to have an obit posted in a published newspaper.

 

[rareboy]

Did you know that if you spell Andreus Thanos backward, that it looks like Sonath Suerdna?

Coincidence?

 

[LaughOutLoud]

All this said, surely the thread dedicated to him in the Garden of Memories should be removed...??

As moderators of the site, without ever seeing a death certificate or obituary for him (I realise you've never asked anyone for it), the only thing to go on would be his profile activity backing up a message from a "loved one", but seeing as that's changed recently, what other "evidence" is there that he died (or in fact lived)?

 

[LaughOutLoud]

Ok, look at it this way......

Someone on here today decides to create a second profile. I get along with that "new person" very well.

Moderators find out and ban the second account.

Could I request a thread be created in the Garden of Memories in honour of that second profile that I clicked with, got along with, miss...??

Seems a tad ridiculous.

If it does, then I don't think you are giving due credit to the "life" of Dreu on these boards when he was here. There is not another single member, not Elvin, not Jasun, not anyone, who has ever evoked this sort of following in the same manner, or for the same reasons.

If something more conclusive were proven about his supposed sock puppet status, then a ban, as all sock puppets are (supposedly) banned, should include The Garden of Memories.

As of now, nothing is proven, just endless speculation.

And my main point remains, those who "knew" Dreu on here are entitled to miss him, and it does no dishonor to the forum. Sounds a bit peevish to me, to quote Shakespeare, "like wrath in death, and envy after." We don't really need to hack at the limbs, do we?

I think there is a difference between a life and a "life." I understand that point of view. On a site where, never mind verifying death (Bizarre? Intrusive? Unreliable?) there is no requirement to verify life when someone registers. Users don't need to confirm their real identities or have their real name as username, etc. so what right have we to expect authenticity?

I get that point of view but don't share it. Loki said in another thread what is probably the case for a lot of members who have a reasonable interest in maintaining online privacy; sometimes users will alter the odd fact or two as a defence against snooping people on google. I'd argue that is even prudent for people who have previously been stalked, been the victim of domestic violence or abuse, etc. some people have career reasons (out at work but don't need coworkers knowing my taste in porn even if happy to discuss with online friends). That is legitimate. Others will embellish their lives a bit too much in a misguided attempt to put their best foot forward, which usually serves only to embarrass them in the end.

That still falls under the category of no big deal. But to post stolen pics and claim they are oneself, or to pretend to die while still alive, is not just another event in the "life" of a poster, it is base manipulation in the life of a poster.

The charges against Andreus are not just calling someone out for exaggerating, it's a charge of really outrageous manipulative behaviour that goes beyond any need for privacy or any fault of self esteem that would lead someone to brag falsely.

And far from thinking it doesn't really matter one way or the other, it's because I recognise how significant that is, that I've been so disappointed with the way this has rolled out, and the lengths people will go to to indulge their own whims.

 

[HunterM]

Yes, but if you REARRANGE the letters in his name, you get HARDNOSE TUNAS!

Dun, dun, dunnnnnn!

You're killing me!

 

[LaughOutLoud]

Some may be upset if the tread dedicated to him in Garden of Memories is removed, but we must also be mindful of the friends/family of people that have ACTUALLY lived, died and have a thread down there.

If it were me, I'd feel insulted seeing a thread down there dedicated to someone I knew/loved that had died right alongside a thread dedicated to a person who not only didn't exist, but whose creator (aka Puppet Master) has most likely read the thread and is most likely reading the replies to this thread (whether or not they are signed in).

I love a good hagiography as well as anyone....but even I would suggest that restraint be used.
