• Heya!

    My name is ken and I just wanted to say that 2017 was an absolutely CRAZY year and not just for me but this site as well.

    I would’ve just turned 16 and was going through my first year of high-school. Some of you may know it can be a very difficult time in a teens life. I was always an awkward kid with MASSIVE amounts of social anxiety, so meeting and talking to people (especially peers) was very challenging to me.

    (In hindsight, it was a pebble compared to the mountain I made it out to be.)

    But then I found a chat-site called TalkWithStranger!

    At first I thought this site was a creepfest with people using random chats and anonymity to do what creeps do best. But then I found the Public Chat and seeing the amount of active users chatting with each other is what convinced me to create an account. Through public chat alone I was able to meet so many new and wonderful individuals from all across the world. These people who were just as odd and introverted as I was and it made me feel so much better about myself.

    I was active daily, talking with people and making new friends. In fact I was so active that I had actually become moderator for a short while and had even worked with the developers of the site to implement a livestream for music. I remember the day that admin entered public chat to tell us that the site had its most traffic (active users) that day and they seemed genuinely excited and humbled, it was super adorable.

    The only Global moderator I remember from the old days is @WtfJudith and I’m really glad you get to keep doing what you do best <3

    Now the stories I have from the site, the situations and just all around drama can mostly all be traced back to one person named Manuel, or his online alter ego “kek”.

    I have met Manuel personally and originally called myself his friend. He was a caring and compassionate kid from Italy who was only a year older than me. It felt almost like I’ve known him for years although I had just met him. We would play video games together and tell each other about school and our family, we grew quite close or at least that’s what it seemed to me.

    Now “kek” is the polar opposite of what I just described. Just imagine the most horrid troll known to the cyberspace and amplify that by 100. The worst parts of 4chan, reddit and Facebook all neatly bundled together and ready to start a war.

    He got what he wanted, war was started on this site. Trolls Vs Mods. Never-ending ban waves and lewd pictures were all weapons in this war, and Kek was leading the trolls. Kek had also convinced admin to make himself a moderator before it was quickly revoked due to blatant abuse of power. He was able to hack into others accounts and pose as them before he was discovered by the admin. He didn’t care if you were a mod or a new user, everyone was affected.

    I personally believe that this “war” had a huge impact on this site’s user-base and not in a good way.

    Here’s a pic of me having to convince admin that I am not kek (because of his recent account hackings) alt text

    This is getting to be a bit of a read so I might make a PT 2 with more tea if anyone is interested in what went on back in the sites “golden days”.

    Goodnight luvs, Kenny.


  • @Kens0me nice to see an old user back around!
    If you hadn’t mentioned Kek I would have completely forgotten about that era of TWS
    Good thing is there arent really any big spammers like that messing around on pub, but yeah in exchange its a lot more quiet than during those « golden ages »

    I think a lot of people can relate to how you found this place. I was 16 too in my last year out of 5 at an all girls secondary snd school and anxious about having to go to a mixed college soon. People were super welcoming on pub chat and even tho most of those users come and go and life got busy, Im glad I found TWS back then

    Ive forgotten a lot about what happened in those golden days, wouldn’t mind if you shared more XD


  • @Kens0me kenny, thats awesome story 😁
    I was like "damn he is here since 2017 and he met his friend personally like offline meeting?"

    This is just what i think about someone in internet.
    Surely we grow up, then many fuck or mess things happen there or even you need to put your mask on to not anyone reveal about yourself then you try to make an alter account that is totally different with your true character or even your family dont get / find it even if they live with you entire of your life.

    In regards of your interesting situation, are you still making friends with that Kek!? 😂
    Also about trolls and mods, well it is like raini cats and dogs that will never have ending.

    Anyway, nice to meet you! As well as glad to see you around.


  • @Kens0me dang I completely missed 2k17 maybe I was busy in playing table tennis in that year xD


  • @WtfJudith awe I’m really happy that you remember the era bc it was cray crayyyy. and thank you for sharing about when you found TWS :)) makes me smile knowing that someone can relate to it.


  • @G-A it’s very nice to meet you too!
    And to regards on my friendship with kek, I don’t want to go into too much detail but as his friend I started to slowly realize that he wasn’t the person he wanted people to see. He would attack others for just having a different opinion than him, and he would do ANYTHING to make you feel like youre wrong and a terrible person. He had also admitted to me that he was in an online relationship with a 9 year old (he was 17). After that I couldn’t be his friend anymore. This is when he decided to launch his trolls upon our site.


  • @Ash33 dude I do not blame you, out of all the trolling and furry NSFW pics I had to experience… TABLE TENNIS SOUNDS LIKE HEAVEN TO ME


  • @Kens0me 😱 wait, are you serious? Kek seems nice for me before he was into lots of dramas and ...
    Having a relationship with 9 yo kid? Like seriously, why it must be 9 yo kid? As if there are no bunch of 18 yo girls outside? 🤔

    Is not that too much to believe? Afaik, Kek was provoked me in pub chat when i was that damnly in love with Judy around 2018 till some of trollers came to the dramas with him 🤣 but he was good when he admitted that it was his fault too.

    Damn :( so you never be in contact with him again? Like.. You stopped coz you feel he is not a good friend?


  • @G-A I have the screenshots from all my convos from 2017, Including with @TalkWithStranger on his actions. What he was doing is illegal in my country as it should be in every country.
    He (allegedly) groomed multiple underage girls and flaunted about it to his inner circle. If you didn’t like that he would threaten to leak your personal information to his trolls (there are multiple cases and posts of him doing this to many others on here).

    Although he was 17 it could be debated that he wasn’t doing anything illegal but I also think that’s a matter of opinion. If you think your first hand experiences with him defend his actions then I’m sorry to say that I just don’t agree.

    Cyberstalking, ban evading, doxxing, trolling, real world harassment, the alleged grooming of girls 13 years old and younger. He was a manipulative narcissist and deserves to never be on this site.

    If he knew we were talking about him all these years later, I bet you $500 that he would have the largest grin you’ve ever seen.

    There is a fine line between trolling and harassment. And he pole vaulted right over it, many many times.

    So yeah, safe to say he wasn’t a “good” friend.

  • Banned

    @Ash33 ayy you also play table tennis


  • @Kens0me haha yeah tho I failed in that academic year 😅


  • @AyyBoyy_2007 yeah!! It's funnnnn

  • Banned

    @Ash33 yes bro I am new at table tennis but still I learned some shots and it's very fun to play 🏓


  • @Kens0me said in A message about TWS (2017):

    He (allegedly) groomed multiple underage girls and flaunted about it to his inner circle. If you didn’t like that he would threaten to leak your personal information to his trolls (there are multiple cases and posts of him doing this to many others on here).

    WHAT THE FUUUUCCCCCKKKKK 😂😂 THIS BITCH IS CRAZY SMH.

    Now i know why he was that "legit" to attack me that time coz he was into this 🤔

    So yeah, safe to say he wasn’t a “good” friend.

    😱 thats cool to hear. Now it feels like you win an award of the most scariest halloween vote, idk if you did such kind of things, what would happen? 😂


  • Sup 😭I’m just here to have a conversation I’m bored it’s 3 am rn where I’m at


  • @Kc-Ochoa welcome to the site homie
