Does Andy Than of thanfiction predate Chris or just take place at the same time?
https://fanlore.org/wiki/Thanfiction
Andy Blake, a.k.a. Thanfiction, is a fanwriter and fanartist best known for his involvement in a number of high-profile fandom controversies. Blake is notorious for being at the center of incidents which include starting a cult in LOTR fandom, another cult in Harry Potter fandom, failed convention organizing, his many fraudulent identities and pseuds, faking the deaths of both his real and fabricated identities, and being witness to the homicide of his roommates/cult members.

While he had previous pseuds in the late 1990s (two of them were "Voyagerbabe" and "Strwriter"), he's most known for joining the Lord of the Rings fandom in the early 2000s as Victoria Bitter. He later went on to use a number of other pseudonyms. For much more, see Victoria Bitter Wank.
Yeah, absolutely pre-Chris.

I’m very nostalgic for PoE, it was definitely the precursor to the Farms in that it was centered around making fun of furries, trannies, autists, and potato moms. Lolcows occasionally posted on the forums like they do here, lolsuit threats and all. Others (like Ben Schumin himself) tried to be good sports. Halal threads, too - once a very active user who was a bit of an internet tough guy was outed as being a furry. The user base seemed to me at the time to be more mature and less spergy than Something Awful. In 2000 I thought the internet as I knew it would last forever. I’m getting all choked up, guys.

The internet was just a more bizarre and mysterious place back then. I don’t know what Portal is, so I’m assuming it’s a video game.

I mean…… 😅
 
Gorgeous George (George Alexander Yarid, aka G.A.Y.) was a fat obnoxious public access television host that was constantly tormented by prank callers every episode.
Wait, "was"? Did he die? I mean, I know he lost his public access show, but he was still putting himself out there on the internet. Shit, there was even bunch of SA goons still tormenting him.
 
I suppose you could consider some, or all, of Howard Stern's 'Wack Pack' Lolcows. People like Beetlejuice and Yucko spring to mind, considering the former is your classic 'retarded midget' which Stern had no shortages of, and the latter's life seemed to spiral with himself being oblivious to it for a long while. Hell, Daniel Carver would fit right in on the Siegeculture thread.

He's still around and lives in a van now. He got evicted from his house and a troll broke into it and discovered he was a hoarder living in filth!
 
The wall mounted photo of Ric Flair overlooking a giant pile of trash is a nice touch.
Wooo!
Here's another good video where he confronts a troll and threatens then with a Lysol can. They ask him if he's having a diabetic shock then yell wooo!

There was a POV one from the troll I can no longer find but that one shows the security guard laughing better.
