wait so what the rules
ah thx mate ok I’m in
Thank you for clarifying the rules!
Every post in Scavenger Hunt got to look like this with animated gif and the link:
Recently DRow started practicing admin ninja moves, where he posts a meme and locks the topic and nobody could quote his post.
I figured out a way to copy it anyway.
Tap and hold on the gif, select “Share link” and then “Copy to clipboard”, then in your reply paste it inside image tag ![]()
like this:

Oh thanks! Yeah I was just copying didn’t know about special GIF techniques. I don’t usually practice vex forum wizardry. I shall try to remember that.
A Week of Turbulence on Vexforum
Graphic novel by Ilyana
Once upon a time there was a young handsome forum admin, who was herding mischievous kittens all day long.
He and his little helper, sour patch kid, were working hard all day long deleting every odd user account.
He needed to take a vacation, but was hesitant to let his eyes off the forums. So people said:
And so he did:
Little did he know, that his forum was infiltrated by the Evil Bean, the product of the Russian Internet Troll Factory, where the only game they play is Forum Takeover.
Evil Bean was posting his evil memes and inciting everyone to commit egregious <G1>
violations:
Many fell victim to his evil plans and got trapped in the recursive memeing. Productive forums became the thing of the past.
When forum admin returned, most of the topics were infected and was the only remedy left.
The popular uprising of the forum patriots went down with the memeing flames.
It wasn’t working because the Evil Memeing Spirit was feeding off the fresh memes.
Then the mighty Wizard of V5 cast his magik spell:
But the Evil Bean only grew more bold and arrogant:
But his fatal mistake was that he forgot that it was time of Halloween and scary costumes had already been pulled out of the storage server closet:
And with the quick swipe of the enter key the Evil Bean was banished to the “on hold” status where you can only redeem onself by liking one thousand productive forum posts.
The moral of the story
Please, Like, subscribe, and report new sightings of DRow in this topic…
Thank you!

By far one of my favorite posts.
Also did enothecool actually get placed “on hold”? Thought he could still post.
(Just curious)
Thanks! He’s got to be “on hold” because for the last few days he was trolling by liking all posts in a row in random forum topics:
Profile - enothecool - VEX Forum
I think, you could still PM when your account is “on hold”.
Forgive me for falling for the way of the evil bean
What even happened to enothecool
He was frequently posting off-topic and glorifying bloodshed and violence.
For that he was banished to the underworld of PM where he lurks in the shadows among other users with “on hold” account status.
Is this for images or just posts?
It is mostly for fun
and...
It has to be a genuine DRow artifact that was found on the forum. Funniness is encouraged, memeiness is not.
In rare circumstances we will accept “DRow for GDC” memorabilia and funfiction.
Only canonical interpretation of “DRow for GDC” is allowed. Breakaway cults are not welcome.

Forum users with odd accounts living in jurisdictions under 500 will be waved v4 motor limits on Friday 13 of every month ending in the full Moon. Character limits may be decreased with signed parental waiver. Please, help me, I cannot stop typing. Small fries are free with the purchase of medium size bottle of antistatic spray. Call 1-800-DROW4GDC for more information, holiday sales promotions, five hours of elevator lift music, and personal message from DRow left on your 1980 AT&T answering machine if you managed to read it all.
Glad I finally got to one of DRow’s jokes first
