Hahahahahaha never heard of such a thing happening on a forum... until now. xD Thanks for telling the story.
Well, it is a confined forum for fans of Derren Brown (you wouldn't know him unless you live in Britain). He nicknamed his PA called Coops by Nobacherie. It appeared by Coops' name on the TV credits, then someone on the forum posted the ultimate question. Speculation, then a taunt by Sir Big Dave (the tour manager), before a frenzy of guessing games, false clues and general forum dialogue for around 120 pages. At the tour, everyone would ask Derren at al and he will always avoid or give his model answer, etc. It all came to a head near the end of the tour when there was a big forum meet up. Believe you me, banners, posters, stickers and T-shirts (was created about Nobacherie. It was rather rowdy, including the use of the penis-hammer to hit Derren's head with o_O. Then some idiot started sticking stickers all over the theatre, so things went OTT. Back at the forum, the admin had to post a tell-off and explanation of Nobacherie for it to stop (around page 120). After that, the whole thing sorta died down, but we kept posting on the thread to save it from oblivion. Beileve you me, there is a website that a forumite created explaining the whole saga on
http://www.derrenbrownforum.co.uk. Tis a very interesting read for a rainy day. Anyways, during this months forum cull, it was killed off at p[age 139. There is still mourning for it on the forum...
Anyways, that's almost all of it. Tally ho!
