I miss this era of 4chan... Fake as fuck, but I'd love to believe it's true.

[-] FARTYSHARTBLAST@kbin.social 53 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I did Battletoad calls with them back in the day, at least some of the posts were real.

Also, the phone number has not changed - do with that information what you will.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 24 points 11 months ago

Prank calls were the best part of 4chan. I can’t even remember the name of that christian radio station that was endlessly bombarded by calls anymore, but listening along was a treat. Would have been around 2008.

[-] AtomicPurple@kbin.social 13 points 11 months ago

I missed that, but I remember around 2011 there was some new-age cult leader guy doing a call-in live stream that got trolled until he rage quit.

No, that's not it. It was a video livestream that had the stereotypical hippie looking host sitting on the floor behind a table taking calls. I don't know if anyone recorded it at the time, but I'd recognize it instantly if I saw it.

There's still videos of that out there...
