Kane if you know enough about the subject to make the suggestion you may also know enough to begin making the entry. Instead of waiting on someone else to do it, do it yourself. Fear not, if you make an error someone will be sure to make a correction.

[Kane52630]

nah, it was just a shameless bump.

HowardStark - a previously banned poster who, under this name, briefly ran tournament threads on the hype. Looking to switch his username again, he faked a stroke, then a tumor, and then his death while having his "cousin" DarthQuiGon (who was really HowardStark under a different username tell the users in his "hottest female celebrity tournament" thread all of these things. After much sympathy was given, it was revealed by C. lee that both DarthQuiGon, HowardStark, and other other troll accounts were all the same person and that DarthQuiGon was an attempt for Howard to change his username. All accounts are currently banned.

If this encyclopedia gets updated enough I can keep a record of it and bring everything to the next thread.

Can someone create a full description of the JustABill vs. Cory deathmatch thread? I would, but I don't remember all the specifics.

[Parker Wayne]

All the entries I collected that wasn't on the first post.

This was started by Hype member Ghostrider87, who when faced with a slight dig at him or insult from someone else, GR87 would threaten to "call you a jerk", which he did on several occasions. Since then, a number of Hypesters have picked up on this threat, and they too have carried it out many times.

The word's Real World Definition is "lacking knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact" and can be used correctly, but the use on the Hype can lead to dire consequences. Use at your own Risk.

He was eventually banned for trolling, and general dumbassery.

It is speculated that the reason behind the deletion was because the absence of political threads left community with mostly spam. Made its triumphant return on January 8th, 2008.

The Hype Name Change Revolution - The revolution sparked Mee's Hype News story about "numberinname" (or numberer) posters, as well as a conflict between Erzengel and cmill216. Because of Mee's highly successful and controversial news story, and Erz's harsh discrimination (coined as R4cism) against cmill216 and all other posters of number, cmill216 started the thread titled "NumbersInName Prejudice is Wrong." cmill216 decided to stand as the leader for the "numbersinname" posters against intense bigotry, racism, and oppression from "non-numbered" posters. Originally thought of as people with a lack of imagination, cmill216 gave them the mentality of such reasons as "these numbers are important to me." This issue was in long debate in the thread "NumbersInName Prejudice is Wrong," thus sparking buzz all over the Hype Community.

cmill216's never ending leadership and determination gave (the newly appointed Administrator) DOG LIPS an idea. This started a chain of events which eventually led to (the other newly appointed Administrator) Hunter Rider being willing to share the intense task of name changing with DOG LIPS. Thus, cmill216 inadvertently and successfully changed the Hype's policy on name changes forever. Once viewed as being forbidden, "numberinname" as well as any other poster now have one last chance to undo their mistake, and change their identity. In the end, cmill216 not only led to the revolution of "numberinname" posters, but also to all who wanted to change their names. cmill216 became a SHH Moderator, and changed his name to Cmill216.

R4cism - the term coined by cmill216, derived from Erzengel's discrimination against posters of number.

DHL was quoted as being extremely unhappy at the tyranny of the administrators, perhaps a bad joke gone wrong in some posters' eyes. DHL has since started a thread, revolting against DOG LIPS and Hunter Rider. Whether the change will be reversed or not is still shrouded in mystery.

The tournament had no clear qualifications for creepy, and seemed to be set up to declare Asteroid-Man the winner. In the end it was an unprecedented failure.

It is capable of many things, including incinerating any subtance, and even creating words or images out of fire. It was long sought by The Exalted, who wanted it for it's immense power. But he was never able to come up with a plan for obtaining the Flame. It is thought that the name "Immortalfire" is given to anyone that controls the Flame.

Mosi did an IP check, and temporarily perma-banned Mee. Mee's ban was lifted a day later, after much protest from several Hypesters, including farmerfran. An hour or so after the Concerned Mom fiasco, the thread was closed and soon deleted. Dew is reported to have given Mee a screencap of his first post under the Concerned Mom name.

He is known for his "outbursts" when angered about people saying anything negative about him, or Jessica Alba. This usually has a mod admonishing everyone but temporary banning JAL for his actions.

He has spoken in the past about a past "love" whom he slowed danced with and shared his first kiss. He later alleges that this was a 14 year old Jessica Alba. While many do not believe it, he refuses to provide any proof because people would still not believe him.

Early on JAL use to post anything about Alba do to constant ridicule by the posters of SHH. However, because most of the posters have moved on from SHH, he has found newer, younger posters who encourage his obssessive, persona towards Jessica Alba.

Taiwarriorz (Updated) - Taiwarriorz is a poster at the hype who is distinctly Southern in both appearance and habits. However his true quirks lay elsewhere. Taiwarriorz came upon the Hype last year and often is known for a gimmicky posting style with bad grammatical and spelling errors. Most noticably is his pension for the word "geuax" in place of "go". He also types very phenetically, and is known to use slang, exposition and "accent" in expressing what he has to say. Another particularity is his "name dropping": meaning he will mention several of his friends, acquintances and friends of friends in telling stories. He is incredibly arrogant, and most of these "gimmicks" stem from that.

Noteable Hype Moments

"I can Squat 550" - Taiwarriorz claimed he could squat 550lbs, which would've broken currently held High School records. Ignoring the fact that all his photos revealed a moderately out of shape teen with a beer gut, he continued to insist this fact even giving ShadowBoxing his high school coaches number to verify his claim. ShadowBoxing didn't call his school, but said he did, inflating Tai's numbers to 600lbs. Tai admitted that, yes, he could Squat 600 lbs and was being modest. ShadowBoxing then told him he never called the school, and simply increased the number because "he knew he'd admit to anything so long as it inflated his ego".

"The Hunting and Fishing Thread" - This is probably Tai's most popular thread. It was the site of events described above and his personal stomping ground. Recently Taiwarriorz began bragging again in this thread, this time about working on an "oil referie" (Oil Refinery). Needless to say, no one who has a job that doesn't involve working endless hours as an oil refinery grunt, was impressed.

"National Day of Repentence" - Taiwarriorz, again appearing to be pulling information out of his ass, started the "National Day of Repentence" thread. He claimed in it there would be a National Day of repenting one's sins. He said something about his preacher telling him about a committee getting together and talking with Bush - either way it was all a bunch of bullsh**, you don't have to know. It again became a "Politics v Religion" thread. Taiwarriorz, for some reason, put the word "spoiler" in the thread title. He also apparently beganing PMing several posters, including Toven, with hate mail and threats. How very Christian.

Do we know about the time JAL kicked a homeless?

He went to go see Alba at some signing or something. Anyways he got turned away and saw her go into the hotel and he left with sadness in his heart. But then, inspiration hit him! He sneaked around the back and into the hotel that way! "SUCCESS!!" he though, "soon I will be licking her face!" But alas, it was not to be. He was forced out of the hotel when he was found sneaking around the hallways by secrurity and thrown back out into the alley from where he came. Here he found a homeless who asked him for some change. JAL then kicked and spat on him, leaving the scene with bitter rage in his now black heart.

Then there's the time he claimed that he knew Alba at a young age and helped her overcome shyness or something. Anyhow it was all bull crap and he said that at some point he danced with her in the rain. I kept reminding him about it and he continually claimed no knowlage of this.

Oh, there's the JAL saga of when he thought he got a girl he worked with pregnant. that was fun. I can't really remember much past it was damn funny. I miss JAL and his insanity. It was always fun to hear his insane plans to trap Alba in some kind of trap made out of honey...

There was a poster once, I think his name was Clark.Kent or something similar, who asked about ideas for a new Superman movie. a suggestion was made that he be a cowboy and wear cowboy boots in his costume and the Kent far would have cattle and stuff. He got really annoyed at this. Got banned. Came back under similar names. Was remininded about cowboy Superman and was then banned again. This happened several times.

How about that crazy Memphis Slim guy?

[Parker Wayne]

I don't know really know much about JAL (he was already known as The Apatow Crew when I joined) but here it goes.

JAL - A banned user who, in addition to to being one of three posters to have over 100,000 posts, was infamously known for his antics, mostly dealing with his obsession with Jessica Alba. One of his stories included him getting turned away by Alba, and then trying to sneak in to see her. When her he was thrown out by security, he spat on and kicked a homeless man. He also had a Maury-like situation at work where he thought he got a girl pregnant. He later changed his name to The Apatow Crew and was banned after his 10th infraction.

JustABill vs. Cory Deathmatch thread - A now infamous deathmatch thread that got so bad it was shutdown early and deleted from the Hype. JustABill came into this Deathmatch expecting an easy win until Cory called upon the Batboards (and The Tusi) to even the Deathmatch. Things got heated between Bill and the Batboards, as Bill felt that, being a community mainstay, angry at the Batboards for influencing a comminity forum event. Eventually relations between the Tusians and Cory also soured in the same thread. The mods came in, and things got worse as accusations of cheating for both sides erupted. After more mudslinging and many insults, the thread ended in a 56-56 tie and the thread was deleted. This lead to the Wildcard between Bill, Cory, Darthphere, Leo, Superferret, and Poopdeckpenispa which ended up being a disappointment numbers wise. This event also lead to more Batboards posters posting in the other parts of the Hype after the release of The Dark Knight Rises.

[Parker Wayne]

Ah.

After looking him up and consulting other users this is what I have:

Memphis Slim (Formerly known as CellDog) - A banned user who was known for his racism and homophobia. He was also known for his controversial views in the Religion thread. After he was banned, a "Should we Water Board CellDog to Save Lives" thread.

[Parker Wayne]

You guys can also post entries too. I'm just jumpstarting this thread and trying to get it to 1000 to start anew. I'll be quoting and putting all of them into singular posts to make the transition to a new thread easier.

[Parker Wayne]

.

Dreadstar (Formerly Deathlok2001) - A user who is infamously known for his very unusual stories in the relationship thread. It all started when he was he bragging about his sexual relationship with "Fling Girl" while worrying about his potential ruin the situation. Meanwhile, he was also seeking advice about bedding "comic girl", a 19 year old girl who was 30 years younger than him after they dry humped in a car (with the driver driving). Amidst denials of being a date rapist and a creep, it was discovered that he was Deathlok2001, a previously banned user, and was banned once again.

[Parker Wayne]

Wait, WHAT?

Even though I've been here nearly a year and a half, reading this makes me feel like such a newbee. I think JewishHobbit and I should have a place in here as "Defenders of Bendis" .
Anyway, I love you guys- ah Hype, you doeth have a place in my heart.
