Chris and the Internet

Chris has been on the Internet mostly to complain about shit.

Understanding

Chris seems to be aware that the internet is a place where, once you put something up, anyone with access to a computer could see it. However, due to a combination of his ego and his general inability to understand others, Chris has come to the conclusion that if he puts anything on the Internet, everyone will see it. Chris has in the past attempted to address videos to specific people--most telling is his May 8th rant, which was addressed to anyone who served on the Green County School Board in the early 1990's.

Despite this, Chris doesn't seem to realise that giving one's real address and telephone number out on the Internet is generally a bad idea, especially when one is being trolled relentlessly by people obsessed with one's every move. He also doesn't seem to realise that dropping other people's dox is also a bad idea.

Forums and Bans

As with many places in real life, Chris has found himself banned from the few places he frequents online.

Chris does not normally participate in forum discussions, either due to a dislike of reading or simple egotism. When he does, he always signs his message--be it a comment on Youtube, a rant on the Adult Swim boards, or a complaint about something in LBP. He does not follow up on these either, nor does he read the comment left by other users.

The irony is that Internet forums are havens for socially retarded, thirtysomething manchildren who still live with Mommy and Daddy. By simply choosing a handle that has nothing to do with Sonichu, and participating even a little in forum discussions, Chris could shed (for a while) his lolcow status and form online friendships with other sad bastards like himself.

Due to his relative inactivity, he's banned from fewer places online than you might think. He was banned from DeviantArt in the summer of 2009 for posting the uncensored version of Sonichu 9 without an NSFW tag, though he doesn't understand why--comments left on his talk page suggest that he is under the impression that his DA account simply vanished into cyberspace for no reason. As well, despite bouncing from one account to the next, Chris has only been banned once from YouTube. However, unlike DA, Chris has constantly made new accounts after one was taken down.

Attempts to leave the Internet

As the saying goes, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. However, in Chris's case, he takes this and butchers it - when trolls descend on him and torture him, he ups and leaves. For many trolls, this would be a great victory. However, Chris just can't stand to get away from the Internet.

His first attempt to abandon the Internet, it was in the aftermath of the Julie incident. Tired of Cylde Cash's trolling, Chris proclaimed that he was leaving the Internet. Instead, he disappeared for all of two weeks, creating a new account on YouTube. His second, third, and fourth attempts all seemed to have been directed by an outside force.

What Chris doesn't seem to realize is that the PSN that he loves so dearly is technically part of the internet, as it consists of a network of computers all interconnected with each other. So when he says that he will be leaving the internet, he is clearly full of shit, as he just hops right onto his PSN.
