Who here wants to help me with the #DNM2015Memories post?

Let's not forget the guy that accidentally took like 8 tabs of acid instead of 2 for his first trip. He thought a tab was one full picture which was actually 4 tabs and he took two sets of 4 lol.
And there was the whole bobafet thing with the Giant bags of dust. Pretty ridiculous shit.
And of course who could forget the guy that received the "bag of fucking sand, like from the beach" lol.

The end of an era with MXE and a lot of other RCs became controlled substances in China an are no longer being manufactured. It'll come back, but not for a long time and it'll be far more expensive.

Review of the year has to be the krispykreme MDMA review by /u/dnm117 that included the hot ass chick twerking at a Sesame Street show. I tried to search for it, but didn't have any luck...

It was a quiet year with not much happening, I thought. It's not over yet, so there is still time for a drama, maybe.
My only important post of the year was from the BTVA account, when we got some inside info from Evolution admins, voted, then I posted this:-
I then sent a link to Agora admin, so they could prepare for an influx of new users when Evo eventually exit scammed. I expected it to be another week or two of one-way wallets (like Sheepmarketplace, and alphabay the other day), but Evo was gone within hours.
Reddit was worse than useless during an exit scam, as usual, but I expected that. BTVA got it's first parody troll post. The only reason for posting on reddit is to make a big enough splash for deepdot to see it, and to scare the marketplace admins into cutting the exit short by a few million dollars. Its like dropping a housebrick into a cow pat:- You shut your eyes first because you're going to get sprayed with shit for a few weeks until you're proven right.
It turned out that one of the less-brave admins, their Trappy-style PR man, decided to stop trolling me and come clean because the gig was up. I stayed on reddit the whole day to act as a target, and anyone who trolled me had one of the others follow up on his posting history to get an idea of who the bad guys were posting as.
Evolution could have been a massacre the size of sheepmarketplace, but they only got away with a one-day snapshot of the wallets and escrow. You have short memories and it wasn't as big an exit as you seem to believe, but that post caused ripples that are still being felt - the subpoenas, whatever the 5 agents with full admin access did during the two days this sub went private, then I wanted to be sure the sub was in a safe pair of hands, which it wasn't. Then when Lobali stood down I wanted to ensure that another moderator stitch-up behind closed doors didn't happen because there were far worse options than lobali - but it did. Oh, and the Evolution admin who became Umbreon.
My happiest moment was when Sheepmarketplace's owner was arrested, selling off bitcoin at BTCe. We followed 96,000 btc there, marking every wallet on the way, even through bitcoinfog, only to be ridiculed:- "Ha ha! The money is in BTCe! He got away with it, that was pointless you idiots. Go and smoke some more meth" etc
I hate reddit sometimes. When I do something, everyone tells me when I'm doing it that I'm stupid. By the time it yields results months or a year later, it can't possibly have been me.
It must have been somebody else, because everyone knows that I'm stupid.
