NoBadMemes

In the description to one of his vids, Adam mentioned NoBadMemes blog. Since Adam's channel is gone, I don't have a screencap of this and only rely on my memory.

NoBadMemems blog itself mentioned Adam's channel (which was a very unknown channel by that time) in one of their posts: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

From what I understood, they were replying to people who were criticizing Adam's vids on a random forum (CulturalPhilistine and NoBadMemes were both discussed in this thread:

The activity of this blog also abruptly ended 2 days after the Sandy Hook happened (which may seem like a strange coincidence), though the owner of NoBadMemes blog was active replying to comments somewhere in 2013.

Do you think Adam was somehow connected to this blog, not only reading it? Maybe he co-owned it or at least communicated with its owner?

And if the owner of this blog is still alive someone should contact them and ask a couple of questions.

I archived all of his descriptions and comments left on his videos before the plebeian redditors invaded. From what I recall he didn't mention the blog in any of them.

You can schedule posts on blogger. He may have done this to give the illusion that someone else was running the blog.

Most likely. I haven't read all of the posts but from what I've seen I'm leaning more towards the possibility of Adam being the author.

That's interesting, I haven't heard anyone mention the possibility of it being co-authored. That would make sense. Perhaps the co-author may have been Adam's friend he cut contact with prior to the massacre?

Well, at least I remember that it sounded like "I'm reading this blog... * link to NoBadMemes *.
But my memory is fuzzy.

Yeah, I know that it's possible to schedule posts, but, as I have stated, the author of blog actually replied to someone in comments somewhere in 2013, after Adam's death - [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Is it possible to schedule the comments?

I was unaware of that comment, thanks for notifying me. I'll have to look more into it, I'm currently working on an archive so I don't have time to read all of the blog posts right now.

Huh.

That blog is pretty interesting. Adam also mentioned Gary aka Inmendham in at least one of his unearthed YT videos, who invented the term "Efilism", though it was brief and in passing. Altogether with NoBadMemes it suggests he was definitely aware of the Antinatalist blogsphere/YouTube community, which was pretty small back in 2011/2012. I wonder if he ever posted on the other active blogs at the time, like TheViewFromHell.

Most of the blog is now private, but you can see similar posts on the same subject matter and from the same period.

edit: Gotta say Tachyon in that weird thread from "heapershangout" really nailed Adam, just a half a year before the shooting. Called him "horrifying", said he "freaked him out" and described the audio as featuring "that ghastly nails-on-chalkboard whisper of his". Well, sometimes we know before we know.

2: I did not realize "SayNoToReproduction" was Adam's blog, deleted before the shooting. It's the first link on NoBadMemes blog list. There's no archive of SNTR, but apparently one page was called "Your Declaration of Your Stance" and was posted August 2012. Someone posted it at the time to Hacker News: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4406762 It would be interesting to find out how user " koningrobot" found it. Maybe I'll message them.

You know, NBMs posted about chimps (although in it he wants to exterminate them), as well as "Let's all continue to ignore the millions of years of elephants being eaten alive" - that's very similar to his "jimmies" ice cream comment... it's pretty amazing this isn't Adam. Surely they communicated through other channels...

They were still active in this other comment, June of 2013. The one already mentioned was from January 2013.

Quality post right here. I'm working on an archive for NBM, I'll post it here when I'm done. Thanks for telling me about this other blog as I was previously unaware of it.

An archive of the no bad memes blog i've been sitting on for a while, it's nice that the author has not logged in only to delete everything after the influx of comments, I wonder if his email is getting spammed too. I haven't gotten a chance to read through everything, but I have taken a look at every post and it's at least interesting. I'll do some reading, but i'd definitely love to learn more about this mysterious SayNoToReproduction blog that was listed in the sidebar on No Bad Memes.

Just wondering.
I came across this blog through NoBadMemes and spotted a comment:

(The part about Nancy being "not rational" was also mentioned in the DESPP books which are much better source than some news reports, but I currently don't have much time to go through them all over again, sadly).
If anybody knows if it's possible to see all comments the "Unknown" user has left on other blogspots - please let me know.

He does type a lot like Adam but it's obviously not him + the location is set to Canada. Maybe one of his friends?
Something interesting is the page seemed to be deleted december 14th but was archived on the 13th. there's also a part saying that the page is supposed to be a suicide note (post made 4 days before sandy hook). The page links to another blog which has posts from 2013. Maybe he deleted his account because he knew Adam had contact with him or posted in the same communities? Dunno.

This is really interesting to think about. If this was the case, and he did delete them because he knew the person he was corresponding with turned out to be Adam Lanza, then he would've known a lot about Adam's online history before anyone else did and chose not to share it with anyone out of fear of being investigated or something like that. However, it's also weird that at least one other person corresponded with Adam Lanza, but never put two and two together. That Myrmidon51 guy was still leaving comments in 2020 lol, before it was rediscovered in 2021, and he seemingly just didn't put two and two together the whole time. It seems that Adam tried his best to remain as anonymous as possible, which makes me think that there's a lot of stuff that's out there authored by him, but we'll just never fully know for certain.
Because of how anonymous Adam remained, it seems unlikely to me that someone would realize immediately after the shooting that they were interacting with one of Adam's accounts. But I definitely still wouldn't rule it out, maybe he was just really vigilant and realized early on.

One of the "Useful links" listed on NBM which is pretty interesting is GraveyardOfTheGods, an old antinatalism site created in 2002. Unfortunately, it died somewhere in 2021 (at least I can't access it now, even with VPN and such).
