Whatever happened to Jaesun?

[<3sRichardSimmons]

Back when I first started lurking here he was probably the most active mod in grpg. I know a vocal contingent hated his (for the Codex) aggressive moderation, but my memory is that he just mostly moved shitposts to retardoland and did a pretty good job otherwise staying hands-off.
Now I look at his profile and he hasn’t logged in in over a year. Anyone know why? Did DU decide the optics of having an openly gay Seattleite on the Codex staff for too unfavorable? Did he just get fed up with Crispy? Did Richard Garriott permanently digitize him into Shroud of the Avatar a la TRON?

Died of AIDS.

So who keeps logging onto his Steam account and playing SotA?

Yeah, I think SoTA broke him.

Jaesun wasn't hands-off, he ruined a lot of old threads by merging them into megathreads without prompting. Had to be told to stop twice and warned that a third time would result in a de-modding.

Hmm I guess my memory is off. I thought Infinitron was the one who ushered in the era of mega-threads through aggressive merging.

Jaesun is addicted to SotA these days, or he was.

He used to be an extreme defender of the game on the official forums, but I've no idea if he's still obsessed with it.

 

[Infinitron]

Jaesun hasn't logged onto Steam since January.

 

[Infinitron]

Hmm, wait. His account on the SOTA forums is active. But he's now called "Anpu": https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?members/anpu.7384/

He must be playing the game off of Steam, or with a different account.

Jaesun hasn't logged onto Steam since January.

Maybe he has finally broken his SotA addiction.

Edit: Apparently not, judging by his forum account over at SOTA forums.

Did Richard Garriott permanently digitize him into Shroud of the Avatar a la TRON?

Even better: He appeared as a character in Pillars of Eternity, after which his life's work was done and he retired from gaming.

I miss Jaesun. I could always count on him for a good brofisting.

He was a bit too eager as a moderator, but had generally good taste in games.

 

[ghostdog]

Good old jaesun, hope you're fine man.

I also miss Trash, he started some of my favorite threads.

He was a Star Wars obsessive, poor thang. I imagined him as the kind of guy who would tell the surviving cast members making appearances at SW conventions that he saw the original Stars Wars 150 times and then beg for an autograph, and they'd say, "I'll give you an autograph but you must promise me you'll never watch it again!"

Sadly, I don't think the cast are as based as Alec Guinness was.

They'd probably tell him to watch it another 150 times and to buy whatever merchandise was modelled on their character.

Jaesun was last seen in this mall with Crispy, Scrooge and Jenkem (the clown).

Take note on Crispy's terrible shoes. Zero drip.

 

[Jack Of Owls]

One other thing I remember about the dear departed Jaesun was that he used to get in retarded flame wars with certain posters, and then when the other flamer wouldn't back down, Jaesun would abuse the tags he'd give under their username. I remember when Ash had this looooong list of 'dex epithet-tags under his username name which I think to this day stands as a codex record. I just never saw such an extraordinary high level of butthurtness from a moderator on a forum before and I remember feeling shocked that he was allowed to mod. He really seemed to know his stuff about FRUA and audio hardware for the PC however.

 

[Can't handle the bacon]

Wait, a mod that's horribly biased, doesn't make a separation between his private opinions and his responsibility as a mod, and abuses his privileges for petty, butthurt reasons? I have never seen such a thing. You must be making things up, it's impossible and never happens, certainly not otc.

 

[Mustawd]

To be fair Ash/CyberP was acting like a Typical Modder TM at the time. Thankfully, he got better.

Lots of memories from those days.

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

Alzheimer’s is a gift. My grandmother was the nastiest woman alive who never smiled in her adult life until she got Alzheimer’s. Then she just turned into a sweet old lady who liked humming, smiling, and eating sweets.

Jaesun was just a moderator, he had no ability to grant tags.

it's unbearably tasteless for a spineless sycophant like yourself who was ostensibly made mod 'just to handle twitter' to speak from a position of any authority whatsoever about such matters
