They don't want their nickname to be on the forum at all. Somebody, in a publicly accessible room, is upset people can see they are in a publicly accessible room and post about it in a publicly accessible forum. They don't want to change their nick too.

Somebody please explain to this dumb fuck how fucking dumb they are.

Tell him that there's an NSA issued backdoor in his CPU and his embarassing obsession won't save him from the boogeyman

Prefacing this publicly available chat log ( as anyone can join the cyberix chatrooms ) to say that there is a possibility our sizeofcat could be an impersonator of the real one, whoever that might be.

<sizeofcat> my name is still on the cyberix forum. why are the administrators not deleting it?
kouya: why should they
hoboken: Did you send a formal letter?
<sizeofcat> i can only suspect bioluminescence
<sizeofcat> no, i shouldn't have to send a formal letter
kouya: they are not responsible for protecting your identity, you are
<every1luvslain> It's dumb to be upset about it when the 30+ people on the IRC and XMPP can all see your name when you join/leave or send a message.
kouya: ^
<every1luvslain> Just use a name that isn't associated with you anywhere else, like everyone else here does without whining about it

<sizeofcat> if i am in a new york pizza shop and i don't want my pizza to be caked in excrementadrenochromerapeaids i should be able to say that to the chef and he obliges
<sizeofcat> otherwise he doesnt get my money!
<every1luvslain> Apparently, it's not as simple as them not getting your business, since you keep coming back to bitch about it.
<sizeofcat> the irc people can see my nick. thats okay
<sizeofcat> i don't want it to be on the forum
<every1luvslain> Womp womp?
<sizeofcat> how dismissive of you!
hoboken: Isn't the irc an extension of the forum?

<sizeofcat> i told them i did not want the excrementadrenochromerapeaids and yet they gave me it anyway
<Kr4pshoot> and who the fuck would not want adrenochrome
<every1luvslain> Not everyone is obliged to do what you want. I'm not sure how this is a foreign concept to you.
kouya: the fucking pizza shop comparison is ridiculous
kouya: nigga, you could choose any nickname you want
kouya: and you choose the one you have a problem with people mentioning
<sizeofcat> in the case of the forum administrator, it's a very heavy privacy concern.
kouya: its not
kouya: you are ultimately responsible for YOUR privacy
kouya: and you have done nothing to take care of it
<sizeofcat> do you like excrementadrenochromerapeaids with your barbecue chicken pizza?
kouya: oh i too can make up stupid fucking scenarios that have no ties to the current situation but lets pretend they do because they totally help my argument
<sizeofcat> tell me, how do i take care of my name being posted on the forum without my permission?
<sizeofcat> i can't remove it, numbnuts
<every1luvslain> Has it occurred to you that everyone else, who is using this website that advertises itself as being totally privacy-respecting, doesn't care if their IRC nicks are leaked? Because they understand implicitly that this is a public space, and you functionally have no control over where things from here could get reposted?
kouya: if i walk into a fucking pizza shop and somebody in a seat recognizes me, there is nothing i can do to prevent him from saying my name or anything
<Kr4pshoot> Spread misinformation :)
<every1luvslain> Has it occurred to you that EVERYONE ELSE has the frontal lobe function to plan for this eventuality, and you don't?
kouya: ill get a good ol' "kouya! its been so long!" and now anybody who was listening knows my name. whos problem is that, eh?
kouya: change your fucking nickname you fucking idiot
<sizeofcat> you can threaten him with a weapon!
kouya: it is only you to blame for your problem right now
<sizeofcat> oh, and not the mysterious asshole who thought they needed to list out the names of random people in irc in their forum post?
<sizeofcat> how biased!
kouya: no because this is a public chatroom anyhow
<sizeofcat> chatroom matters should stay in the chatrooms. why is this so hard for you to understand?
kouya: someone can join these rooms and look at the nick list just as easily as they can see that post
kouya: because thats not how fucking reality works
kouya: your issue is that you believe that this is a "privacy concern" when the only thing that is a privacy concern is your lack to handle it
hoboken: What's the reason for being upset on having your nick on a forum anyway? Association?
kouya: your issue is that you believe that this is a "privacy concern" when the only thing that is a privacy concern is your lack of ability ot handle it
<sizeofcat> its like jeffrey epstein and his childlicking excrementadrenochromerapeaids operation getting leaked out onto mainstream media
<every1luvslain> Dude, you are seriously retarded.
kouya: > oh i too can make up stupid fucking scenarios that have no ties to the current situation but lets pretend they do because they totally help my argument
*taps the message*
<Kr4pshoot> Comparing yourself to epstein is never a good look
kouya: this has got to be like some troll or bait shit at this point
kouya: there is no way this person is seriously this retarded
<sizeofcat> are you projecting? i am defending myself as an innocent anonymous chatroom user who doesn't want to be stripped naked and fantasized about on a internet forum
kouya: lmfao
kouya: you cannot control what people post
kouya: grow up
<Kr4pshoot> Is this the sizeof.cat website guy?
<every1luvslain> Are you sure you don't want to be stripped naked and fantasized about on a public internet forum? It seems like you're weirdly fixated on the possibility.
<sizeofcat> dont rape me!
<every1luvslain> It could be somebody impersonating sizeofcat, I guess.
kouya: the funny thing is that by making such a scene about it on here, they've probably done way worse for their privacy than what would've happened if they didn't bother mentioning it
<every1luvslain> I don't remember ever thinking that he was this retarded.
kouya: > It could be somebody impersonating sizeofcat, I guess.
thats what im assuming
<sizeofcat> i really do only have a simple request
<Kr4pshoot> I like his site so im assuming he isnt retarded
kouya: sizeofcat: your request is censorship to workaround a privacy problem that is of your own doing
kouya: and if you are trolling: haha very funny
<every1luvslain> Yeah there's no way lol
<sizeofcat> how is it my own doing? only two days ago we were discussing rave's supreme emperor presidency
<sizeofcat> what did i do wrong?
<sizeofcat> exist?
kouya: your nickname
kouya: just fucking change it
<sizeofcat> fuck you!
kouya: lmfao
R0OK: welcome back sizeofcat.
<sizeofcat> i am about to leave again because you are not appealing to reason
kouya: you have no reason
kouya: bye
<sizeofcat> are you trying to put excrementadrenochromerapeaids on my pizza?
kouya: i am going to post this entire log into that thread
<sizeofcat> you dirty rapist?
kouya: and the only one you will have to blame is yourself
kouya: because nobody would've known niggalover96 would be sizeofcat if you were named niggalover96 you fucking ape
<sizeofcat> why?
kouya: to make a point
<Kr4pshoot> >gonna post this entire log on the forum
<Kr4pshoot> It would be kind of mean to do that if this was just some guy shitposting as cat
hoboken: > i am going to post this entire log into that thread

You better redact my name or I'll leave. Maybe kill myself too
<sizeofcat> it doesn't matter, it's mean either way
kouya: ill put a footnote to mention it might just be someone impersonating them
<sizeofcat> it will just make you look like an asshole
kouya: and it'll make you look like a fucking idiot

don't bother explaining they can't be helped. just call them a dumb nigger. solved all my problems

<kouya> It makes me feel like I walked into a 70s living room.
<rave> you want to keep the current theme?
<kouya> I want an option for it.
<kouya> I like the style. It's not a common style.
<rave> hmmm damn that really does create some new questions
<rave> i thought i didn't like it because it took away the "underground" default that the site used to have
<kouya> I too often find that most open sites who treat themselves as dark, truthful, anonymous, etc have the same style.
<kouya> The "underground" look is overdone.
<knightx> > The "underground" look is overdone.
I agree, I have the underground look for my site and I love it <3 <br /> I am the king of same shit different day
The basic bitch of the underground if you will
<kouya> It was mentioned the default theme should be basic to let other people customize it their self but I have yet to find a browser that just has support for custom styles easily that doesn't involve some bloated extension that whoops, has telemtry for some fucking reason
<macaroni> This person attempted to retract a previous message, but it's unsupported by your client.

Not gonna lie this is a pathetic post. Seriously just leave the guy alone, I get he was throwing a tantrum, but the least you could do is stay quiet about it and not be a fucking toddler "GUESS WHAT THIS GUY SAID LETS MAKE THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW" be quiet.

We should be allowed to make fun of retarded retards publicly if we so choose to.

>>4263
I deserve ice cream for the amount of time I spent discussing why you shouldn't be surprised that your public username in a public chatroom can be posted onto a public forum without your "permission"

OH NNONONON!!! HECKERINO MY USER NAMI IS PUBLIC
<insert soyboy_screaming.jpg>

man I like the guy's site but this is just pathetic

>>4292
It's obviously not the real sizeofcat. It's probably an underage third world troll and I don't know why are they even responding to this nigger instead of muting/banning him. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the ,,nomad of the interwebz" faggot.

This guy, under this name, was active in the IRC for awhile. This wasn't just a case of this nigga joining the IRC with this nick and starting shit, it was someone who had been a regular for a bit.

sizeofcat melty episode 352

>>4323
Is there a history?

not gonna lie ive also seen sizeofcat have a meltdown before and ragequit, and it also happened to be somewhere where he was a regular for a while. i remember also when he ragequit the entire internet and took his site down, then came back shortly after. seems this is a trend with that guy.

>>4339 what the fuck his site is down https://sizeof.cat/ is he doing ragequit version 2

I apologize for inadvertently lighting the flame. Despite this, I'd like to give a detailed analysis and summary on this situation for future readers.

To us, the incident was a minor forum spat; to sizeofcat, it was a violation of his principles so severe that it warranted destroying a decade of his own work.

Rave astutely connected sizeofcat's actions to his stated beliefs: "consistent with his views on privacy and temporality." During the original IRC argument, sizeofcat said, "i believe in the temporality of discussion. messages are not supposed to be siloed somewhere."

if a conversation's context (his presence on Cyberix IRC) can be made permanent without his consent, he will respond by making his entire body of work "temporary" by trying to erase it from existence.

The most profound outcome of this entire shitstorm is the Streisand Effect. sizeofcat's primary goal was to simply remove his nickname from the forum and prevent his IRC activity from becoming associated with his public identity. Unfortunately for him, hiis actions have achieved the exact opposite:

1. A simple complaint about IRC nicks has now escalated into a major community drama, complete with a dedicated thread full of extensive IRC logs, and now a detailed analysis (this very post).
2. The name "sizeofcat" is now inextricably and permanently linked to the Cyberix Network. Future users searching his archives and this site will also find this entire incident.
3. By deleting his site, he has lost control over his content. It will now be preserved and distributed by others (Kr4pshoot, myrd) without his input, context, or control. The articles he wrote will live on, but detached from their original author and platform. They are now artifacts of a tech-schizophrenia induced meltdown.

This isn't the first time he has done something like this. This pattern of ragequitting and returning suggests this may not be a permanent exit.

A New Identity: This is the most likely next step. He will likely re-emerge online under a new pseudonym, attempting to sever ties with the "sizeofcat" identity which he now feels is compromised. The mirrored content of sizeof.cat will likely become the de facto archive. It will be shared and discussed within communities like Cyberix, serving as a permanent reminder of the incident.

What started as a dispute over privacy expectations in a public chatroom appears to have ended with the deliberate erasure of a 10-year-old website. sizeofcat has now inadvertently made his association with Cyberix more permanent and public than ever while simultaneously losing control over everything he has ever worked for online.

kek

So, does anyone have a mirror of sizeof.cat? I need to download it.

That would be nice. Some of his guides, especially his cyberpunk media site, were really good.
>>4415

sizeofcat is a retard. plain and simple.

happy sharing!

Thanks officer, I always trusted you guys will have all the archives

Unironically, let's add a ""Kill Count"" to the website.

Well, since the cat is no longer inside the bag. Plaintext versions of the previous 22 articles.
