The OnaForums Economy Part 2

How The Money Flows Part 2

While most members do not expose their real life identity, there are a small amount that have. One of these users is Daniel Mullen, who runs a youtube podcast about the forums titled “nice podcast stupid”.

The main topics of this podcast usually include live advertisement segments for forum trolls, results of the latest harassment campaigns and live taunting of people that Daniel perceives as forum enemies. Money is raised through super-chats, discord subscriptions and merchandise such as mugs, hats and T shirts.

Well known forum trolls often appear on the podcast to promote services, providing a symbiotic relationship with the forums. These services include trolling, file and video hosting, AI generation, VIOP registration and doxxing.

In order to evade youtube censorship, the episodes of the podcast are privated after the streams and uploaded offsite.

On one of these hidden videos, titled “Pat & Jax MORE LIES! Putin OWNS Tucker! Biden LOSING IT! Dan HANGS w_ Gaetz & Luna in Miami!”, near the 10 minute mark Daniel Mullen describes a recent vacation he had in Miami, Florida where he partied with Donald Trump’s then Attorney General pick Matt Gaetz. Mullen recalls how Gaetz “wasn’t a poster, but after listening to Josiah he told me to text him some funny stuff”. Mullen would go on to discuss his relationship with Gaetz several times in future podcasts.

Days before the AG pick dropped out of congress, user HoneyBadger posted this on private onaforums chats

On November 13th, Matt Gaetz would resign from congress. Coincidentally, the resignation would also remove many security and information services he enjoyed previously.

Information services from the forums refers to a form of doxxing that’s much more in depth than what most people would expect. When a dox is purchased, you get every address the person has ever lived at, every phone number they ever held, every email they used officially, previous employers, background checks and even an extended family tree with contact information.

I plan to write more about these services and the people that offer them in future articles.
