Just an FYI for anyone that didn't know, but Scooby got doxxed by some ass on 4chan a couple months back. I know there are a few gnomes on here, but it may have slipped through the cracks.
As a result of harassment (death threats, sexual slurs, people turning up at his house), he decided to disable Youtube comments on his videos, shut down the askscooby forum, and actually relocate (he built his house with his own hands) to protect his family.
The saddest thing for those who don't know, is this is one of the nicest, most genuine people, who has spent thousands of hours helping people reach their own goals, for no profit, and often indeed out of his own pocket.
so yeah, f*ck that. I guess it's like someone on here doxxing Beamer.

What the hell is 'doxxing'?
-
Who... where....... what in the.......... ?
I take it that Donna has changed her name to Scooby and is on the run, trying to escape stalker soop.

I had to google it: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dox

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=doxed
1. doxed
Having your real personal information (e.g. name, address, phone number) discovered and revealed on the Internet, destroying anonymity
This pissed off so many people that the guy behind it was doxed, and will probably get what's coming to him
That said, I have no idea who this person is, but that sucks for them.

f*ckin' 4Chan. Why would anyone in their right mind hang out at that place? BTW why are the police not in this matter if he's having to up and move them? If it's that serious there's legal action.

I had no idea what doxxing is, who Scooby is or even what 4chan was. :-k

Seconding all of these.
So wait a minute, did i "doxx" myself to everybody here that i have had transactions with?

I thought it was criticism for the Hanna Barbera cartoon reading the title. Who is this scooby guy?
-
Yeah...I have no f*cking idea what you are talking about. I know what "death threats" are, that's about it.
-
and actually relocate (he built his house with his own hands) to protect his family.
Now I know this isn't true, people who regularly use 4 chan are incapable of actually mating with a female.
-
No, you read that wrong. His family are his parents. He lives with his mum. All people that use 4chan live in basements.
-
Scooby Doo !? This thread left me puzzled since i don't hang out at 4chan.
-
woah, I don't hang out at 4chan... Just saying, Scooby got me and many others into fitness.
-
oh thats really sad to hear :(
Pure envy i can feel from those f*ckers.
he really is one of the nicest guys on the internet, altough sometimes a bit too "health nazi"..hehe.
i feel so sorry for him and his family. he self-achieved so many things with maximum low-budget just possible, including stuff like building his own air plane, own house etc.
not to mention all the cool stuff i learned from him.

Is this the guy from the Dos Equis commercials or something?

He's just a bodybuilder who cuts through the crap and tells you in basic terms how to achieve your goals. For instance, if your goal is to get six pack abs, you might assume (as I did) that doing a sit load of shit-ups is the answer. Not everyone can afford a personal trainer.
He built a library of videos demonstrating how to safely perform exercises and lifts, always emphazising good form and nutrition, never judgemental, always understanding that there's gonna be someone out there who can't even bench the bar, and figuring out advice for beginners.
TBH, he did say that he's probably done everything he could do for beginners, but it's still a shitty thing to do. Plus the fact that his forum was probably the only place where you wouldn't be scorned (too much) for asking newby questions, and wasn't full of a$$holes bragposting about their gainz.

Oh, that scooby. Yeah, he's a pretty decent guy, but when you become internet famous though you need to steel yourself for anything though. The people, they are fickle.
I don't really go around 4chan anymore except for the cosplay subforum because all that petty drama is delicious.
-
i heard of two chains, but four??? danm.
-
For what it's worth, there's a guy on another forum I frequent who actually survived a full blown bullying campaign from /b/ and got out with his dignity and his youtube channel intact, so it is possible to beat those guys.

The internet really does show all that is wrong with the world. :|
