What was its purpose, though? Much like how our boards are for spergs to sperg about hilarious internet spergs, what was AJM for? I seem to recall it being, like, a forum for conservative American Bronies, but I may be mixing things up.

 

[AnOminous]

A Proboards forum. Currently shut down, but here's the link. You won't see much: http://usaspatriot.proboards.com

I went there. I didn't see much. That's why I asked the question.

 

[The I Scream Man]

Correct me if I'm wrong @AJMLurker but it seems to me that AJM's purpose was simply to be a hang out for friends online, regardless of what it's original purpose was. I think that trying to reconcile with them in a noble goal, with that in mind...I think we all can empathize, because I think we've all been in situations where we've wanted to talk to our friends again after somethin nasty happened, because we still remember the good times.

The forum was founded as a random chat hang-out forum for Christian school friends and others who were interested. Because of the Christian values the forum was founded on, it had a very family-friendly and welcoming environment. Let me put it simply, it was your classic hugbox. Conflict was a no-no, hence why the AJMers freaked out when the Kiwis showed up.

Anyone was free to join and no matter how annoying they were, they were given a warm reception. As long as you had no intention of trolling the forum, you were welcome. As you can expect, this system allowed annoying dumbasses to join the community and they would eventually get under the skin of the long-time reg members (aka the members high in the social hierarchy), of course nobody would vocalize their annoyance openly. Sweet Bro was accepted into the community because of the niceness and kindness policy we had.

It is hard to explain to outsiders. I honestly never imagined AJM STUDIOS would enter the limelight of a forum such as this so I don't have a proper explanation prepared.

You're on point Ice.

I was under the impression more were familiar with AJM and its history here so I wasn't prepared to explain. My bad guys.

 

[MarineTrainedTard]

Ah, thanks, @AJMLurker . The Brony forum was (obviously) something else, then, I suppose.

 

[AJMLurker]

Ah, thanks, @AJMLurker . The Brony forum was (obviously) something else, then, I suppose.

To explain the brony thing, some time after MLP:FiM became "hot with the kids", a brony member joined and brought brony culture to the forum. After that happened, a joke civil war broke out on the forum between the brony supporting members and the non-brony supporting members. We had an unique culture. If you could lurk there, you would understand what we're about.

But yeah, I won't lie, "Brony Patriot forum" was a funny nickname. I can understand why you would dub us that.

 

[MrsFrizzle]

So what was the response on AJM when Sweet talked trash about this place? I have been in hugbox forums at times, and one of the key rules was "don't bring fights from other forums onto this forum." It seems like that rule would have benefited AJM tremendously.

That's the thing, when Sweet talked trash about the Kiwis, the AJMers did nothing to stop him. Ok, they gave him a warning once, but Sweet was free to spew his propaganda campaign against the Farms and the AJMers supported it in a passive-aggressive way. Now in the AJMers' defense, they never straight-up banned the Kiwis until they made the forum restricted-access.

Also let me make something clear. The reason I'm bringing this up is not because I want to return to AJM STUDIOS. If they will allow me back in, cool, but I do not depend on AJM STUDIOS like Sweet does. I have a life outside an internet forum community. I'm bringing this up because I believe the good people of the Kiwi Farms and me deserve an explanation. When HSMOF and Holdek were members of AJM STUDIOS, I was lurking and saw what class acts they were. They were only briefly members, but they showed the forum far more respect than Sweet ever did. Sweet just used the community to spread his bullshit agenda. AJM STUDIOS is another medium for him to sperg about his dream to establish his chinaphone, big screen TV, and scrumptious buffet kingdom. If we wanna see Sweet's bullshit, we can hit up his dA account.

In my eyes, HSMOF and Holdek were far more AJM than Sweet will ever be. The AJMers want to keep perceiving you guys as the enemy, but that shouldn't be the case. You know why I still post here daily? This community is dope as hell. This thread has had entertained me for hours. Hell, I showed this thread to some friends at a party and they had a riot with Sweet Bro.

Honestly, I think more Kiwis than just HSMOF and Holdek deserve to know this explanation. Look, when I first discovered this forum, I thought you were a bunch of crazy 4chan or ED spergs, but then I saw how you treated Treenbeen and realized you guys had respect. Respect that the AJMers didn't.

Everyday, Sweet Bro shows a little less improvement than the last, why the fuck did AJM STUDIOS shut down for him? Why are the Kiwis and AJMers still viewing each other as enemies? We're civilized people here, we're not god damn Sweet. I bet Sweet can't even comprehend this conversation, he's too busy fantasizing about ASU or MLP. We're adults, we can have a dialogue and no, Sweet will not be invited.

Seriously, why should we care about Sweet's feelings? He refuses to grow up, so we'll leave him behind.

John is "Gifted" said:
Uh... you seem to be doing a pretty good job of it, Captain Assknocker. Although I am far from retarded. In fact,I toured with Odyssey of the Mind back in grade school, was in a gifted class back in jr. high, and joined an honors society in college.

One "gifted" class in junior high school? One? Sounds like they figured out their mistake pretty damned fast.

Joined a third-tier "honor" society (Pi Gamma Mu) that only has chapters at universities with third-tier psychology departments? "What," I hear you ask, "are the admission requirements for joining this prestigious group?" According to their website: "An individual may be invited or may petition to join an active chapter of Pi Gamma Mu when he/she is or was a junior, senior or graduate student in the upper 35 percent of the class." Yes, the "upper" 35 percent. At Arkansas State University.

So, he was in a "special" class when he was 13 and he was admitted to an outfit that regards more than the top third of the student body at ASU as intellectually elite as long as they've taken a few psych classes.

As for his "tour" with "Odyssey of the Mind," I suspect that it involved a summer on the road with a carnival whose barkers charged the gullible a buck a head to enter a darkened tent and take a gander at Jonathan Mack Sweet. "Ladies and gentlemen, step inside, step inside! It's half frog! It's half homunculus! It's a zoological wonder! Is it human? Science has no answer! Only you can decide!" Yes, it was an odyssey. And his mind -- such as it is -- was there for every Homeric inch of it, from Bug Tussle to Dogpatch.

(Actually, Odyssey of the Mind is just some semi-academic competition. There are no requirements for entering -- zero, nada, zip. Mentioning it as his crowning intellectual achievement in elementary school is ludicrous, on the same level as saying, "I went to class." Claiming that traveling to a couple of other elementary schools for competitions was a "tour" for academic superstars is laughable.)

It's easy to understand why Sweet's teachers would steer him and similar students to special classes and special projects; it would give them time to actually teach the normal kids.

People like Sweet, who brag about inconsequential or nonexistent "achievements" like those above are also notorious for throwing out their IQs and scores on the SAT and GRE. Sweet likes to claim that his IQ is 137 (not in this universe), but he is strangely silent on the SAT and the GRE. My guess is that he "doesn't test well."

 

[DrJonesHat]

I did some of the same stuff Sweet did, but it ceased to be important after I graduated high school. I really don't care to remember most of it, I've done things since then that are much more important to me now.

Sweet might very well have an above average IQ, but that by itself doesn't mean anything.. His intellectual incuriosity speaks of someone who is incapable of sustained mental effort, which is a symptom of ADHD, as well as formal thought disorder and some other psychological conditions.

 

[Adamska]

Uh... you seem to be doing a pretty good job of it, Captain Assknocker. Although I am far from retarded. In fact, I toured with Odyssey of the Mind back in grade school, was in a gifted class back in jr. high, and joined an honors society in college.

Well, in response to you basically stating desperately you're not retarded and should not be locked up in a home due to being that nonfunctional, let me laugh at your jokes at achievement like so:

1. Odyssey of the Mind:

(Actually, Odyssey of the Mind is just some semi-academic competition. There are no requirements for entering -- zero, nada, zip. Mentioning it as his crowning intellectual achievement in elementary school is ludicrous, on the same level as saying, "I went to class."

Congratulations on doing the equivalent of summer camp or YMCA; this isn't a display of intellect. It's a display of the fact you actually used to fucking try and got out of the house. Or alternatively, this was before mom and dad gave up on you and decided to focus on your younger brothers instead.

2. Gifted class: So you're trying to pass off your spec. ed time as gifted now eh? Eh, even if you aren't, congratulations; you managed to make it into an AP course a grand total of one time in your life. I've known people who halfassed their way to that too, including myself. An AP class or two isn't really much of a sign beyond "brain can be made to work" honestly.

3. Honor Roll: Again, let me quote from @Dr. Merkwurdichliebe :

Joined a third-tier "honor" society (Pi Gamma Mu) that only has chapters at universities with third-tier psychology departments? "What," I hear you ask, "are the admission requirements for joining this prestigious group?" According to their website: "An individual may be invited or may petition to join an active chapter of Pi Gamma Mu when he/she is or was a junior, senior or graduate student in the upper 35 percent of the class." Yes, the "upper" 35 percent. At Arkansas State University.

And this is for a college whose standards are so pathetic that it allows people high off their ass to actually make AP classes and skip there. IE the bar was set lower than most of the country. Good job in being almost above below average.

I may be a little socially awkward, and not perfect, but, y'know, all I ask is for people to be open and honest with me.

That's why you ignore everyone's advice or mock them for helping you. It's also why you sulk like a child when you realize you can't dance out of being wrong.

I am capable of adjusting and mitigating my bad behavior when asked to.

This is why you ruined every event for 4 years straight at ASU by being a raging tard. Ignoring your own tard wrangler in the process too mind you.

Most of my peers in college simply reinforced my negative behavior with laughter and gifts, while they were secretly resenting me and plotting behind my back.

And next week, you'll scream that they were pranking you to change the narrative you dishonest yokel.

You just tear everybody down to make yourself feel big, because deep down inside, you are very small and scared and lost.

Lolno I actually know what the fuck I'm doing and feel like things are getting better. Mainly because I do shit like learn.

I know your type; I've dealt with you all my life.

"Fuckin' functional people and their progressive ideas!" ~ Jonathan Sweet, muttering in a cardboard box after the death of Ma Sweet

Found this gem.

So Sweet's "CLH" is a safe space? Sounds pretty... progressive.

 

[AJMLurker]

Record below, fuller-featured backup here.
[MEDIA=pastebin]kNWHadNf[/MEDIA]

Piggy backing onto this, here's the continued shoutbox record:

I personally find it interesting how adamant everyone is that the people from this forum just "leave him alone" because he's "asked you to."

Funnily enough, when I asked him to leave me alone, no less than 3 times outright, which I then referenced another 4 times, and blocked him from several things on the forum and on other pages I frequent, yet he still continued to harass me, I was the one being rude and unreasonable. What absolute crap. I got the runaround that "he's welcome to post what he likes" and "he's entitled to what he has to say too", even though I had asked him not to.

So ignore the AJM'ers when they ask you to "leave him alone" because that "what he wants". As far as I'm concerned, you are entitled to say whatever you'd like as well. If he won't follow the same rules he's asking you to, why should you?

End rant.

All I'm gonna say is these images pushed my fucking berserk button. The AJMers are law and order conservatives and they're fucking protecting Sweet?

I've sent a very pissed off PM to the AJM staff. I'm hoping they've changed their tune since Jan 2015, but I'm fucking pissed with them right now. How they went out of their way to protect a fucking creepy pedophile manchild who only cares about himself. What a bunch of fucking hypocrites. Fuck them right now.

Done playing around with these jokers.

 

[Adamska]

I couldn't find the images I was looking for. They're AJM shoutbox images from around pages 50-70.

Eh, I started laughing when they closed ranks around a repeat offender and lazy, ungrateful, welfare queen simply because he basically screamed that liberals were the devil.

I can't get mad at them because these little niche webzones usually fall apart like this anyway. That and they failed both at being good Christians and upholding their conservative ideals hilariously.

If my post gets a quick response from them, I'll be happy. They're busy hiding and massaging their egos.

 

[The I Scream Man]

I wonder why cows are so quick to say, "you only tear me down because you're small and want to feel big!" Seems to be a thing that they quickly fall back on.

But in response to his usage of it in particular, it's kind of interesting that he'd phrase it that way. "You just tear everybody down to make yourself feel big"...everybody, Thumbskull? I don't tear everybody down. In fact, the percentage of people in my life that I interact with, no matter how fractionally, I do not tear down, because they don't deserve it.

We are your social immune system, Jon Sweet. We perceive a problem, we are working to correct it. Like standard leukocytes, we do not do this for fame or acknowledgement, although I like to imagine mine fist bump one another and congratulate each other on illnesses successfully fought off. You ever notice how we don't make fun of or otherwise analyze people like Mel Gibson? He's certainly high profile enough, isn't he? Higher profile than you, in fact. He stands to lose a lot more, potentially, but why is it that we don't deal with him or others of his ilk?

The thing is, we do. We talk about him in a mostly negative light these days. He used to be cool, had a string of interesting movies (I'll always love the Mad Max series, and Conspiracy Theory was very good as well) but he's an incorrigible racist and generally a shithead. Sound familiar? The difference is this: he has the good sense to not broadcast his views everywhere. But if he did, I'm confident we'd dislike them. And even if he did broadcast them, when people talk shit he just ignores it because he doesn't care.

Now let's talk about another famous celebrity who was a racist, but sure doesn't seem to be any more. I'm referring to Mark Wahlberg, famous actor and former musician. You may recall that he beat a Vietnamese guy pretty good in 1988, yelling all kinds of racial slurs and being a fuckin Southie in general. Not good, right? I agree, but I'm also willing to cut him a break because ever since then, he's been super open and honest about the fact that he was a gigantic shithead and he's done all kinds of racial advocacy. He even asked for and got forgiveness from the Vietnamese gentleman in question.

I'm kind of rambling, aren't I...I guess what I'm saying here is, if you made any kind of effort towards not being a racist, bigoted moron, then we'd acknowledge it. You perceive it as us "tearing you down" because you don't think that the way you think or live is wrong. But, it is...so fix it.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Oh, and another thing...

the perks they've heard so much about

Sweet seems to assume that just because he only saw sumptuous buffet dining, bigscreen TV, a "state-of-the-art" computer lab, and the chinaphone only when he went to college in the 90s, such perks are rare to everyone else (sans the college chinaphone, which doesn't really exist).

Like I think someone else said, are we sure Sweet never worked in got fired by progressives from a movie theater? Because he sure does project a lot.

I wonder why cows are so quick to say, "you only tear me down because you're small and want to feel big!" Seems to be a thing that they quickly fall back on.

I think that they think they're pretty much flawless, and they're so convinced of that delusion that they can't even comprehend why people really mock and analyze them. So the only explanation that makes sense to them is the childish one that critics trolls are inferior to them and are just jealous, which is also a common thing adults tell bullied kids as to why they're picked on.

 

[Dr. Merkwurdichliebe]

Is this your same tired yib-yab about the attack on my mother again? Give it up, fuckknuckle. Do you ever stop to think just how long it takes for a gang of blacks to attack someone, jackass? Seconds. These people are animals--coldly, ruthlessly efficient. You act as if I just sat in the house and watched it happen, impotently wringing my hands, for, like, 20 minutes. I was way on the opposite end of the house, cleaning out the pantry, when I heard the noise outside. In the time it took to cross from the kitchen cabinets to the living room, the deed was done, and the savages has disappeared into the night that spawned them. There was nothing that I could do, except call the police, which I did. I don't know what Charles Bronson/Dirty Harry street justice-dispensing movie universe you live in, pal, but, y'know, what I did, the right thing, that is how things work in the real world. As for your friends' dumb-ass idea that I grab power tools out of the garage and hack these gang thugs up like something out of a bad movie... well, look at some sketchesof the exteriorof my house and tell me where the fuck you see a garage, huh, dingus?

Apparently a "gang of blacks" can attack in SECONDS. This is some straight up racist ass shit.

Where is this from? Are you having a private conversation with Our Hero?

So, in the Mold Kingdom, groups of black people who are harmlessly shuffling along, happily singing De Blue Tail Fly or some cheery plantation ballad, going about the tasks assigned them by Massa Sweet, can, without warning and within seconds, go into Frenzied Negro Mode, savaging and slaughtering all in their path before, with equal suddenness, simply moseying off into the night that spawned them, possibly whistling an uptempo version of Massa's in de Cold Ground.

I have to admit that I find Sweet's prose in this diatribe to be hilarious. Unintentionally so, but hilarious nonetheless. how long it takes for a gang of blacks to attack . . . seconds . . . into the night that spawned them . . . that is how things work in the real world . . . grab power tools out of the garage and hack these gang thugs up. He could easily be published in The New Yorker and would be hailed as a satirical genius for mercilessly lampooning his actual beliefs.

OK. I had become so used to seeing "No Comments" that I'd stopped looking. Is that where he threatened to decapitate us with his bone knife? I can't seem to find that one.

Oh, he's posted more Uncle Remus chatter and photos of himself.
