I haven't heard anything about TheTheGatorGamerGamer or Ron Watkins since Ron lost a primary election in Arizona, and it weirds me out to this day that I've been in prolonged contact with a (failed) politician I've seen on TV.
Jim used to have his own 8chan/8kun board, /jim/, which was one of the most horrifying boards I've ever seen, Someone had made a "WHERE'S THE VIDEO, JIM" thread, jokingly conflating him with Internet Aristocrat/Mister munchhausen/whatever the fuck he calls himself today, and Jim Watkins replied with the sweatiest, fattest, oldest, nudest yoga video I've ever seen in my life. It probably should have been in the OP.
Ron, despite his misguided and bizarre run for public office, didn't really seem like lolcow material to me. Not very responsive and not very interesting when talking person-to-person, though the fact that I was the guy who ran an infamous trolling board on his website probably colored those conversations.
I still own #8kun on Rizon and it's been dead for the entire seven years I've owned it.
