Phase 1: The Appointment of Xangsane
Xangsane had already made a name for himself as one of the most disciplined, ruthless, and respected posters. His threads, like "The True Path to Aesthetics", had become gospel. He was always well-spoken, always factual, never emotional.One day, in a now-infamous thread titled "This forum needs a strong hand", Xangsane laid out his case:
The post exploded.@Xangsane: "The current moderation is weak. Too many low-quality threads, too many cope-posters wasting server space. If we want to become the ultimate resource for self-improvement, we need stricter rules and actual enforcement."
- @TechnoBoss: "I get what you're saying, but a forum isn’t a dictatorship, bro."
- @Orc: "What you're describing is censorship. Not a good look."
- @Clavicular: "We already have rules. If you want change, contribute to better discussions instead of complaining."
- @Master: "Interesting take."
A few days later, a new thread appeared—pinned to the top of the site:
Some cheered. Others were suspicious.@master: "After careful consideration, I'm promoting @Xangsane to moderator. I believe his vision can help this forum grow."
But none of it mattered. Xangsane was in.@ey88: "Lmfao who tf asked for this."
@itzyaboyjj: "This site's about to turn into a North Korean prison."
And he had a plan.
Phase 2: The Purge Begins
At first, Xangsane seemed like a dream mod. He was constantly active, locking low-effort threads, banning trolls, and encouraging high-quality discussion.Then, things shifted.
One day, @Orc tried to unban a user who had been active since the forum’s early days.
A week later, @Orc was banned.@orc: "Dude, you can't just permaban OG users for 'low-quality posting.' That guy's been here for years."
@Xangsane: "Seniority doesn't excuse mediocrity. We need high standards."
@orc: "You mean YOUR standards."
@Xangsane: "Correct."
His final words?
Then, he was gone."Xangsane is dangerous. Remember this when it's too late."
The remaining mods—@TechnoBoss and @Clavicular—started getting worried.
A few days later, @TechnoBoss disappeared too.@technoboss: "Bro, we have a problem."
@clavicular: "What happened now?"
@technoboss: "Orc's gone. Xangsane banned him for ‘subversive behavior.’”
@clavicular: "He WHAT?!"
@technoboss: "Yeah, he said orc was 'protecting degeneracy' or some shit."
With only @Clavicular left, things reached a boiling point.@clavicular: "Yo where’s @technoboss?"
@Xangsane: "He was a traitor. I did what had to be done."
And just like that, @Clavicular was gone.@clavicular: "I don't know what kind of power trip you're on, but you need to chill."
@Xangsane: "You're either with me or against me."
@clavicular: "Then I guess I’m against you."
Xangsane banned the other moderators as well.
With all the mods eliminated, Xangsane ruled alone.
Phase 3: The Fall of Master
With absolute power over the forum, only one obstacle remained: @Master.Unlike the moderators, Master had real power—he controlled the servers, the accounts, the entire infrastructure of Looksmax.org.
But Xangsane was patient.
For months, he manipulated Master into stepping back.
Once Master was fully detached, Xangsane made his final move.@Xangsane: "You should focus on bigger things, bro. The day-to-day moderation is a waste of your time."
@master: "Yeah, I guess. I just don’t want things getting out of control."
@Xangsane: "Trust me. I’ve got it covered."
He knew Master loved KFC chicken—he ate it religiously.
Using a network of contacts, Xangsane ensured that Master’s next order would be his last.
That night, Master logged in one final time.
He never returned.@master: "Feeling weird. Gonna log off for a bit."
Phase 4: The Last Resistance
With Master gone, Xangsane declared himself Supreme Administrator.But there were still a few holdouts.
Three users refused to submit:
- @ey88 – A notorious shitposter, constantly mocking the new regime.
- @itzyaboyJJ – An even worse shitposter, spamming memes about Xangsane’s downfall.
- @Vermilioncore – A serious user, but one who had always been suspicious of power-hungry mods.
But they underestimated him.@ey88: "BREAKING: Xangsane says anyone under 7.5 PSL should be IP banned. Thoughts?"
@itzyaboyjj: "LMAO dude is actually unhinged."
@vermillioncore: "If we don’t stop this, the forum is finished."
Xangsane banned them all—not just from the forum, but from even viewing it.
Their accounts were wiped.
It was over.
Epilogue: The New Order
With no opposition left, Xangsane rewrote the rules.He erased all mentions of Master and the old moderators.
He banned discussions he deemed unworthy.
He reshaped Looksmax.org into his own vision.
Some say that, deep in the archives, you can still find traces of the resistance—old posts from those who fought against Xangsane's tyranny.
But for most users, he was all they ever knew.
And that’s exactly what he wanted.
