Boomzilla, the Alleged Army-of-One, Eaten by a Grue: An Internet Tragedy

Forum royalty, Boomzilla, known widely for his elusive multi-identity debate, found himself in the middle of a plot twist no one could have predicted. Given his notorious reputation for allegedly hurling disagreements from the safety of his alt accounts, the claims suggested a schizophrenic reign of digital monarchy. But in a wild turn of events, it seems Boomzilla has been eaten by a Grue.

News of Boomzilla’s consumption broke out on the forum with the intensity of a lopsided flamewar. Stunned silence filled the digital space, which is pretty hard to accomplish given it's literally a space made up of 1s and 0s. Reactions were mixed — some rejoiced in gif-laden comments while others mourned the disappearance of their many-faced admin.

A dismayed crowd in the forum

A close confidant to the Grue has stated that the infamous creature had been struggling with a massive influx of information since the Boomzilla banquet. Reports indicate that the Grue has been seen in various cave chats complaining about an 'information overload,' a bloated feeling it had never experienced before. It seems digesting one’s prey is harder when your meal comes with its thousands of conflicting opinions, debates, and provocatively-worded forum posts.

As for the forum members, they are dealing with the loss in their own internet way. A digital vigil has started in the thread called ‘ONE OF US’, with users paying their respects using their favorite gifs and memes. Collages of possible avatars Boomzilla operated under are being shared widely. No word yet if there will be a 404 error page in his honor.
