Wow. Just now seeing all this. From what I can gather in this thread, though, as mentioned earlier, none of this is news to me. I thought a lot of that was public knowledge, as Muck/Fat Bib has publicly admitted/talked about a lot of that here, on this very board, in recent months/years. Granted, I don't know all that was said, but again, what little has been mentioned in this thread I already knew… from him.

He *did* make one odd comment a month or so ago to me where he said to me something like, "If I only knew your real name" he would have jokingly done something (I can't remember what). But as others have said, because my name has already been linked to in publicly posted news announcements on movie sites and what not, and is already out there, I didn't think anything of it. I also think those contests where a genuine labor of love for him, and not some ruse to phish info, but who knows.

This is an anonymous message board centered around Texas A&M. This website isn't exactly doing background checks when you sign up for a username. So any crime you can imagine has probably been committed by at least one poster on this website.

Don't give out personal information.

Good point. Or myself on a few occasions.

WAIT is Brian Earl Spilner NOT your real name.......

I didn't know it was from a movie until this year.

---

Now I need to know if you just never saw The Fast and the Furious, or you did and just forgot that scene?

---

I watched about 10 minutes of the first movie this year because I've always heard about it. So, I happened to hear that name during the 10 minutes I was watching and it was kind of eureka moment. "I know that name from F13!!"

Other than that 10 minutes, I've seen none of them.

Youbet watching FATF

**** guys. Waiting for you all to tell me Redstone isn't real either, and this is all just a dream.

Dude Redstone and TC are the same person

There's a post on the GB with some more specific details. Probably not long before it gets nuked too though.

Okay, so I just discovered one potentially horrible aspect of all this that I WASN'T aware of, for the record. I knew the "what" - which has been discussed here before - but I didn't know the "why," which is definitely news to me. If true, hopefully he's at least learned from and been able to move past that in his life.

All that said, I still don't believe him to be malicious in his dealings with us on this board. He's always been a funny, good-natured guy, and for the most part I've appreciated what no doubt seemed to be a genuine passion for Star Wars and entertainment in general.

holy crap this is the biggest revelation on here today - lol - had no clue but I don't watch any F&F movies not since the first anyway and I would not recall that name.

jaw on floor

of course why would i think someone used their real name - that would be dumb. apparently i take way too much at face value on here.

FYI - for the record - my real name is NOT Jon Snow.
Actually plenty of people here know my name....damn I feel violated.

It is terrible - just absolutely disgusting. With that said, I'm also someone who believes in forgiveness and that humans can and do change their lives. Clearly, this has been an important community for him based on his activity level over a long period of time. Should he just be shunned here forever over actions he has served punishment for in society? I don't know these answers. I know many will not accept him back and even I have great pause, yet at the same time, I do feel for him.

People sleeping on this franchise.

I agree with you. He's provided a lot on this board and personally I'd hope for this as well.

We have someone on the UF board I post on that was convicted of a really serious crime, and is a great poster. It's a message board, if folks contribute positively then who cares. Giving them a sense of community may actually help people get better from all kinds of things. And that's not to excuse, Minimize or condone the behavior.
But it's also why I never give personal info on public message boards, there can be actual bad actors out there.

Man, this such a mature and relevant opinion. I just really appreciate you for sharing it. We live in such a harsh, quick-to-judge society, especially in online communities, that it's really refreshing to see someone with this take. I totally share in the struggle, but I genuinely hope for the best for FBF and that some of those past demons are truly left in the past.

Soooo...what crime?

I appreciate your comment, Ben. Whatever small bit of wisdom I have in this regard has come through some painful life experience. I have spent much of my life being mediocre (at best) at extending grace toward others. I was unexpectedly thrown a massive curve ball in my life 18 months ago that has forced me to ask hard questions about love and forgiveness. I no longer see people and label them based solely on their actions, but I choose to see their humanity and the similarities they may share with me. I envy those who were able to learn this life lesson the easy way.

You're just now finding out that redstone is t real?

I knew he was real since I saw his first post on compuserve.

I am the Zodiac Killer.

Good luck finding me.

How the hell did half this board not know who Brian Earl spilner is. That is incredible.

Think about this. More people on this forum know McLovin than know Brian E Spilner.

I'll miss FBF, but I'm not sure how he comes back from this considering the "why" that TC mentioned earlier.

Yea, as a grown man,, dude scammed teenage girls for naked photos by posing as another teenager. I dont care how long its been, that is unacceptable and SHOULD be shunned.

And the worst part is that in doing so, he almost got a starting safety kicked off the football team.

How could it not raise flags. It sounds like the name of a serial killer.

Anyone care to give a synopsis of what happened? All I have gathered is that someone posted something that connects people's usernames to their real names? Something involving a crime?
