Luna

sug ban

Given that they fell in love with someone they'd never met IRL, I'd say no.

"this may have been answered before, but, would as many of the ilx guys that she scammed have fallen for it if the pics she had posted were of a more average-looking woman?"

How many ILX guys did she scam again? Are we counting receiving cuff links and cookies as being scammed?

it's just that someone's post upthread about how she was a "twee" and mostly "content-free" poster made me wonder whether that led people to project things onto her, as opposed to it being just about the (fictitious) hotness

xp - maybe "taken in by" is more of what I'm going for than "scammed" ?

what if Luna's husband is a bear

From the photos I've seen (mostly of the dogs w/him in the background) and what she's told me, he's a big guy.

come on dude!

haha

imagining dude spending all his time lurking behind dogs

i told everyone years ago, and i will say it again

you can rent dogs, dude

HIDING BEYOND DOGS

Like I said, I figured the pics weren't her early on. She had a good, smart, funny personality. The people who complained about her online personality have pretty much universally shitty online personalities imo, so in the eye of the beholder for that.

can you rent giant dudes you know what, I'm gonna stop myself right there

you can rent giant hot dogs

hallways are obviously rentable

this is America you can rent anything

xp DJP yeah but you have to pay extra for giant dudes with guns iirc

was it luna or burmakitty who posted the bikini on couch pic?

Right in the feels.

it's true, she was a pretty great person compared to us lugs.

Not even sure if she scammed me, though it's likely that she did. She caught me at a vulnerable time (my marriage was falling apart) and I wanted to help her as much as I could (I was worried about her son, mostly), I guess to make up for not being able to keep my relationship intact. Wasn't a lot of money. The whole experience did indeed cause me to mistrust everyone on the board except for the few people that I'd met in real life and the stress got to me so badly that I had a meltdown on here a few years ago, which was completely ridiculous. Can't remember exactly who called me a dick (Chaki, ironically, is my best guess) but they weren't wrong. I lurk now in shame and it's really for the best as I never really had much to contribute anyway except the occasional joke.

(please forgive the self-pity)

slocki, you may be a great guy irl, but you have been nothing but a total snide dick from day 1, so yes

i didn't know any of that. sounds terrible, bryan, hope things are better now.

xp

Don't apologize, that's awful. I'm sorry she took advantage of you. xxp

bryan! you seem like a really nice guy sorry to hear about that bad

the fact that this all turned on the p2p chats of a scrabble mobile app is the craziest detail.

it was FAKE SCRABBLE too

slockis not a great guy irl

He didn't even like Prometheus ffs.

s10cki is great, c'mon

ban slocki

Bryan! Thanks, you seem pretty cool from what I remember, hope you're doing well.

*catches up
i heard about this most egregious crime of luna's a few months ago and it is actually alluded to on the original luna outing thread! although in very vague terms. the person she scammed for a large amount fwiw always said they knew what she really looked like and did not care, even as the original scandal happened.

having seen real (?) pics of luna i wonder why she chose to use fake pics at all. a normal-looking gal, definitely not a man or gross or w/e. also wonder why she "targeted" ilx?

you've seen her! only pic she showed me that I thought was real was of her as lil kid

http://i.qkme.me/3ppljj.jpg

what was the source of the real luna pic?

Stockphoto.com?

the necronomicon

xp

she didnt show it to me, someone else did. i saw it on facebook. did she let you know her full real name? iirc she had like 100 last names xxpost

someone got her last name with some crazy google-fu, recall that much

whatever happened to dee the lurker? orbit? burmakitty? all the other ghosts of ilx that lurk about this thread?

yep.

unsurprisingly, that facebook page was deleted when i just checked

i don't think any of you exist FWIW

Yeah sleuthing reveals a lot of diff names

some of us very unfortunately exist

isnt orbit still around? and no im not conflating her with in orbit. i thought she had posted semi-recently. dee left during OG lunagate iirc?

Jessica harvest

give me money

Misery, kvnol, couple others split too.
