I've seen a post talking about them and it sounds pretty serious.

I hope coolcol's doing ok
He definitely had some problems and I feel like we didn't exactly help with those by essentially harrassing him off of the site, even though it was the only option.
While the kid was literally evil, I talked with him for a while and I kinda feel sympathy for him. He's obviously not old enough to be on the internet, and just seemed confused. The only time that what was happening seemed to actually sink in to him was when I broke the news that he'd been doxxed, an entire month after it happened and I assumed he saw it, and when I told him he wouldn't be able to kill me.
We needed him gone, but I'm hoping he can get help, especially in case he ends up doing things worse than stalking and doxxing. If he actually follows through on the stuff he was mentioning, he's definitely going to get himself killed, and he seems delusional enough to actually believe and try to follow up on his threats.
At the same time, I don't feel comfortable intervening in a kid's life who I don't know in real life well enough to get an actual gauge on what needs to be done. It's been a toss-up on whether it would be correct to report him or not, and I decided not to.
There was a lot of stuff going on a bit below the surface with coolcol, some of which definitely could get him into prison.
The evidence is mostly gone now. I think I'm the only mod who went into a full investigation on him, mainly spurred on by our interactions.
"The evidence is mostly gone now."
Hmm, I wish I were to see that but I'm glad it's gone anyways for sake. So yeah.
I reported it all because it also contained personal information of other people not involved with the thing. I'm confident that I'm the 1 person in the wiki who knew where it was.
To my knowledge, nobody was hurt and Coolcolapple is going on with his life. He totally rebranded (At least the social media I knew he had), started posting cringe on youtube, and stopped making alts.
I feel like I need to explain this over and over again, just so that people know exactly what happened since a lot of it was behind closed doors. I go on this lengthy explanation whenever anyone mentions him.
Well same thing for me either, but I explain it in my perspective, & mostly know the surface to all of coolcolapple actions, not the abyss.
You're still checking to see if people are coolcol's alts? Hasn't is been like 8 months?
You can never be too careful
I guess thats a good point.
If I know anything from the infinity legion (other fandom) you can never, ever be too careful
What do you think?
