percy filth Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 It's a long story, but it may be the real name of one of the forums uber trolls. Or he could just be a figment in the imagination of someone who uses it as a tool to undermine others on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halibut Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Or he could just be a figment in the imagination of someone who uses it as a tool to undermine others on the forum. I doubt that. The various usernames who are thought by some to be incarnations of Phil do far more harm than merely calling someone 'Phil' - by spreading lies and deliberate misinformation in the hope of causing fear in others and encouraging other people to break the law for example.

andygardener Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 A crack troll, banned for a post he actually made, Phil was imprisoned in a maximum security forum stockade. However, he escaped into the Sheffield forum underground, becoming a troll for hire. If you have a problem (to which pointless trolling would be a solution) and if you can track down one of the 4 or 5 usernames he has on the go at any one time, maybe you can hire, Phil! Don't miss Phil - The Movie, starring some guy in his underpants in his mothers attic as Phil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
