Acfan

A vandal who stirred up drama and lulz on the GameFAQs for Animal Crossing: Wild World.

Last Thursday, acfan2006 offered to give away the rare item Metroid to the five users who had pulled the most amusing pranks in game. The thread was quickly swarmed with posts about the funniest things users had probably never done. Three were quickly chosen to receive the gifts. Then - horrors! - acfan hacked their games, putting museums in front of their gates, making it impossible for them to play online!

The forum quickly exploded into mass chaos, and several people quickly quit Animal Crossing FOREVER. The drama bomb spread to other Animal Crossing related forums, with some people claiming it was fake, others providing pictures, and others claiming their lives had been ruined.

Aftershocks are still being felt throughtout the dumber part of the AC community, and only time will tell if they can learn to trust again. In the meantime, they cope by writing hilariously bad fanfics.

The Horror! The Horror!

The victims of hacking failed to employ this police dog's services.

No. So u have no proof. Its the same here, I can't prove it does not exist but since u can't prove that it does, then it does not."
