[Sla]

After supporting Eminem for over 10 years, I finally decided to register on a Shady board. Before doing it I was already around for some weeks, just reading. TRShady seemed to be a good place to interchange with other Eminem supporters. I was positively surprised about seeing people from allover the world on there, from Norway, Croatia, Sudan, France, Poland, Spain, Lebanon and many other countries. I liked that fact. We were all there and we all had something in common: the love and respect for Mr. Marshall Mathers.

So I started posting. I didn't want to make big things on there, I just wanted to chill a bit. Just focusing on the Eminem section. At that point nobody knew I wasn't some generic user, nobody knew I was a true Internet legend. I started being on an Internet board 2001, contributing to make it one of Europe's biggest and most succesful communities. Made me really proud receiving the most votes at the user of the decade election some months ago. So I really knew how to run a community, how to be an important part of it. But right there I didn't want to.

I didn't spend much time on TRShady. I logged in, posted a few messages and logged out untill the next day. I didn't have much contact to other users. I knew no one, no one knew me. It's not that simple for a newbee being noticed or creating some hype without doing crazy things. I just posted my opinions about Eminem, and I was happy. Maybe I was too old and too mature to do more. Running an other community for so many years makes you a bit tired, you don't wanna really start from the scratch and repeat all the shit you've seen and done before.

But all of a sudden something changed. Don't know why, but my attidude wasn't really received positively at some point. My Eminem theses weren't really popular, they even seemed to be hated. I remember posting my top10 of Eminem songs, including tracks like Not Afraid, I Need A Doctor and Love The Way You Lie. A member disrespected my opinion, so for the first time I insulted someone on TRShady. That member was: VenomBlackViper. From that point on that member started following me, he was everywhere I was. I started calling him Stan or Stanley, he seemed to be really obsessed with me. We fought a bit, I just ended the "beef" after I found out he was just 17. That was a mature decision, that kid was a bit crazy and evil. He tried to expose my ass telling the community my name were "Adrian", that I were from the Philipines and posting a picture. So knowing his satanic vein I was scared about him finding out my address and doing some bad shit to my cat.

I decided to have a signature, I created one using frames of 3 recent Eminem videos. I really enjoyed the new Eminem, I was one of the biggest Recovery supporters. That album put Eminem back on the world's throne. I loved him ruling the mainstream, being a big thing in the social media. But I got criticized again for this, also for not really loving Relapse. The haters were everywhere, all of them wanted to see me banned. I didn't just shut up, I fought back. In a clever and smart way, which made them even angrier. It was really simple for me, I knew (cause of my big experience) how to handle such situations, even if I had just 87 English words in my vocabulary. I became TRShady's most wanted.

Not everything was negative though. I had good discussions and funny moments. I met that guy, Sukot, we had immediately a good chemistry. We had the best arguments in the entire Eminem section (besides EminemBase), the crowd loved following our debates. He was one of the funniest guys around, even if he exagerated a bit sometimes. I told him Em didn't fuck RiRi, but he insisted. Even months later he came up with his theory. Hilarious.

I had to admit, I loved the hype about my person. Even if I didn't come on TRShady to have it, it just happened. My enemies started opening tons of threads about me in Backstage, they were all united and all intentioned to destroy me. Everytime I logged in I typed "sla" in the search box, and everytime results were found. After 1-2 months I was already a big thing on TRShady, probably the biggest taking over ever. They opened polls, asking who liked me. The funny thing was, a lot of members appreciated me. They liked the fact i fought all the haters and spammers, they liked my objective postings and my mature attitude in the Eminem section. The poll showed every third member liked me, the haters were forced to manipuIate the results. I was polarizing, and winning.

So Satire had a brilliant idea, why not ignoring the rising star? That's the best thing you can do to fight someone, the best weapon. He opened a thread and proposed to ignore me for just 1 week. I got a bit mad, didn't like the fact. Would the whole community play that game? Was Satire that powerful to obtain such a thing? I proposed to leave TRShady by my own if it really worked. I knew about my skills, I knew about the fact too many members adored my behavior. And yes, the days passed by and the masses didn't really seem to be interested in his attempt. After the week passed by Satire himself quoted me and started talking to me. He didn't say anything about the defeat, I just enjoyed the situation and was proud the community was basically on my side.

Probably as proud as the day Macdaddy said "my homie" to me. Macdaddy was one of the most important members on TRShady, even after years he was still polarizing. Some members weren't able to handle him, he pissed them off with a certain continuity. He had something special that made him look superior, so it was a big honour for me. I'm truly not a jealous guy, but the day he posted a clip of himself dancing with some hot chicks on stage, I really admired him. Particularly after finding out one of them gave him head. I'm not a believer, I don't believe in rebirth - but if I'm gonna live a second time I wanna be just like him, like Macdaddy.

Not all members had his attitude, not all wanted to be my friend. Kez was clearly one of my biggest enemies. I remember what pissed him off, and I gotta admit I probably did a wrong step. I just criticized him strongly for disrespecting Eminem and his song Not Afraid after he posted a Recovery recension. I said something like "Eminem would punch you in the face". He never forgot about that, his hate reached an incredible level. One day he claimed to have a present for me, he wanted to expose me in some way. But he was a moderator, so he couldn't do it. I never found out what he was supposed to do, but it had to be something really hard. I was a bit careful, something scared my ass off about him. It wasn't the fact he liked cheapy beer or ponies, I think he reminded me of the young Dario Argento. Everytime he posted a pic of himself I had that well known thrilling melody in my ears. Scary.

I tried to stay cool and to not let me bring down by the haters. Devil'sAdvocate and Revolutionary couldn't stand me? And? At least I managed to appear on Nollie's signature (after I proposed him and Lello as moderators). I just went on philosophizing about Shady, like FreeSpeech I said whatever I wanted without caring about some "trends". I wasn't that kind of guy claiming things he didn't really feel. After all I didn't come on TRShady to make friends. I was like Jason Derülo: riding soulou. In-between I tried to flirt a bit with Guess_Who. I tried to find some positive aspect of Trimss' INAD performance. I tried to understand why MCSam was seen as the MC Bob of TRShady. And I tried to convince some people why it wasn't really cool being a virgin with 20. At that point I was allover the forum, especially the Backstage seemed to attract me in some way.

The result of the "virgin" discussion was: I had a kind of beef with an administrator, with Maybe. We already had some problems some days before, after he assaulted the Eminem section and started offending some "Stans". I was like: wtf. How can an administrator act like that? I had no fear even going against the biggest instances. Maybe wasn't active for a while, so it probably was a kind of publicity stunt: Look, I'm back, everyone noticed it??? I forced him to open a thread in Backstage, so we could fight without spamming and being offtopic. I really wasn't in the right mood anymore after he wrote me a pm, which I practically interpreted as like he was scared about me going after him in his reallife. How could I go on? I decided to stop it right there. And after all: it was a good decision. He completely changed his attitude after some days or weeks, he started being a good member and administrator. We had a serious discussion and cleared things up.

Boom, I got banned. The dream of dozen of members came true. After over 4 months one day my career ended all of a sudden. A moderator, dR3, just took this decision without consulting with the other team members. TRShady lost a big personality, an original member who even brought his own smileys. Gone with the wind. So the community was supposed to be finally happy. But shit happens. Some crazy shit went on, the majority of the members were sad, they just didn't agree with my ban. They wanted me back (Diction: "Sla was a dope guy though, for real"; Blu: "Damn, I'm gonna miss Sla". Even the biggest haters changed their mind, Kez claimed he could stand me, and that the ban wasn't fair. Master Chief appeared. No day passed by without him asking for my ban, but after that drama finally happened he seemed to be a bit sorry ("I actually miss Sla", "Macdaddy's ban is still fairer than Sla's ban"). From that point on he never insulted me again and never asked for my ban again.

So why did dR3 act like that? I read a few times about members not really liking him. Class for example claimed dR3 did stupid things sometimes. And you know, Class wasn't just some random or generic user. He was one of the most stylish and smartest guys around on TRShady. He wasn't that kind of gangsta guy talking bullshit and punching you in the face. He was a handsome guy who liked to use his brain and tried to obtain things with his incredible writing skills, that's why he was so adored and respected by the community. One day I talked to him, and he really impressed me. He just told me he didn't hate me, he didn't want to jump on the bandwagon like all the others. And that was really a sign of intelligence, just to be able to not being influenced by others. Like dR3. dR3 thought all the members wanting me banned meant it seriously, he didn't get it was just a kind of running gag. One day he posted a pic of himself, after a member made a joke he was already offended and deleted it. An other time he lost a kind of bet, but he refused to change his avatar. He was really strange. But I gotta admit I contributed a bit to piss him off: Members opened threads in the Backstage where they asked who was the least favourite moderator, who we wanted to see demodded or things like that. In like 3 or 4 occasions I said "dR3", so he probably had some issues with that and tried a revenge.

After practically everybody noticed my ban was a mistake, that I didn't do anything to deserve it, the administrators decided to unban me practically immediately. It was a great thing for me to see they were on my side. I just defended my ass, I just fought back. It wasn't my mistake the haters weren't as clever as myself. SajN was the first one to say something: "Don't agree with the Sla ban at all." SajN was a wise guy, he wasn't part of the "cool kids" running the board. He was calm and he knew always the right things to do, like a good administrator should be. A lot of us guys even looked up to him and were a bit jealous, he was like the member with the best personal pics. He liked to pose on his pics and made (thanks to his bro) professional looking ones. Probably none of us were able to use a razor like him.

I was free again, free like a bird. I couldn't believe it, but I went on winning. Now even moderators weren't able to stop me, no one could. I was really a special kind of member, difficult to explain. I had a certain charme and flair, it wasn't that simple to resist me. The female members of TRShady truly noticed it. If I had success, it was also their merit. All the girls were on my side, on polls all of them voted for me. It was nice to talk to me, I took them seriously and never offended them. I helped them, like the day I found a pic for Graphic. Or I defended them, like the day Vivaldiwasasellout got offended by Block. The girls didn't spam or troll, so I appreciated talking to them in the Eminem section, Randomgirl was one of them. As a macho and womanizer I clearly liked to flirt, Alex2012 didn't seem to be indisposed (I loved French chicks). During my ban there were girls crying a bit and giving me some props. TheEminemShow: "Sla was an alright dude." That made me a bit proud, TheEminemShow wasn't just a girl, she was like the coolest chick around. After Mahmoud, one of the biggest badboys ever on TRShady, posted a pic of a soldier getting his throught slit, a lot of snitches appeared and asked to ban him. TheEminemShow and me stayed cool, we didn't talk bullshit, we didn't say banal and hypocritical things. We were just on an other level.

Time went by, things changed completely for me. It was like a metamorphosis, practically over night my image went from "the most hated" to "everybody's darling". No hate anymore, no insults anymore, no ban requests anymore. C.R.E.A.M was one of those members changing their mind, he started quoting me and agreeing with me. It was a great feeling saying "stupid" things about Eminem without being immediately surrounded by haters. Members opening threads in Backstage trying to diss me? Nope, the game was over. I was finally respected and integrated, the crazy horse (TRShady) was finally tamed.

The funny thing was, some members didn't really admit they changed their mind. They just were like me was the one changing his atttiude. But nope, I was just like before the war went on. No one pissed me off, so I didn't need to destroy anyone's ass anymore. Menzo and me fought a bit in the past. He was like the king of insults, no one had better ones. He got angry immediately, maybe his Italian temperament was the cause. He was like the bad and Canadian version of Jersey Shore. I remember pissing him off one day, he literally covered me up with slurs. I copied and pasted that shit, Google Translator went completely nuts. I just understood 20% of it, so I couldn't be mad at him. Our relationship got better later, we had some good discussions. He gave me some props and tried to convince others I wasn't that bad. Due to our Football interests we are supposed to have a lot of contact in the future, either getting along or killing each other.

So yeah, it was a really turbulent time. I never thought to get that much involved again in a community. I survived all the hate. I remember telling the members about my dopeness, nobody believed me. I predicted one day a lot of them would change their mind, hell yeah, I loved being right. Now I'm just waiting for the day Emadyville sends me a pm asking if I'd like to become a TRShady administrator. That will be a further step on my amazing walk to immortality. And I'm not even sure I'm gonna accept.

TL;DR

[Drug.Ballad]

Congrats on 1000 posts

[EyeQ200]

At first i was going to say 'gratz, but then i read that shit

[Drug.Ballad]

Ehh...Sla, your story seems a bit self-absorbed at times.

Regardless, congratz.

Oh also, "bad and Canadian version of Jersey Shore" is a huge insult. I'm not kidding.

Whats wrong with Jersey Shore

[EyeQ200]

your story seems a bit self-absorbed at times.

Oh shit, I was looking for a word to describe the meaning of this but couldn't find cause of my horrible vocabulary

Other words, I agree with this.

At points i thought it was trolling...
But you know what, i'm mature, at times he seemed genuine and at other times he seemed like MacDaddy, i'll give him the benefit of the doubt, Congratulations

[VenomBlackViper]

What the fuck is this shit, did EminemBase ghostwrite for you?

Will read & then edit my thoughts on this high school essay into this post.

EDIT: Basically a made up, distorted, troll version of the last few months. Yeah I could take this exaggerated bullshit seriously & prove how wrong it is but there's no point. This is his sad attempt at being remembered, no one's talked about him for over a month now. Hell I don't even care if he gets banned or stays anymore, he's irrelevant once again. I am a bit annoyed I actually bothered reading all that shit though.

Anyways congrats & thanks for the shoutout.

This is where I stopped reading. Sia confirmed for troll (this is also the first post I've read from you).

You never mentioned me, fag.

If it makes you feel any better you're in my top 50 member list i'm making when I hit 5k & i'm conceited enough to say that I matter more than he does.

Lion ass n.igga, I seen you lurking backstage for the past 10 minutes.

Lion ass n.igga, I seen you lurking backstage for the past 10 minutes.

What just cause i have my browser open on Backstage it means i'm actively sitting reading shit?

Okay truth be told I did read it, and I agree with Slimm this pretty much confirms Sla for troll. That said, the two paragraphs about me and about Macdaddy calling him his homie actually made me laugh like shit. Fuckin funny.

Funny thing is I didn't even see you lurking at all, but hey atleast I got you to admit it. That macdaddy shit was pretty funny "If I had to come back as someone it would be macdaddy"
Also in that "what songs do you sing in the shower" thread he puts a lot of emphasis on how he only sings mainstream songs & uses that word "mainstream" a lot. Another sign of a troll.

It wasn't the fact he liked cheapy beer or ponies, I think he reminded me of the young Dario Argento. Everytime he posted a pic of himself I had that well known thrilling melody in my ears. Scary.
