geckosandcheerios (01/25/2013) [-]
So. One thousand comments. You know, I made this account a bit past midnight four days ago. I had these gifs, and I liked them, so I thought it would be funny to spam them around a bit. So I spent a bit of time in the newest uploads, posting it to each new piece of content. Got some green thumbs, got some red thumbs, got some rage and some love. I went to bed satisfied that I had managed to entertain a few people. I woke up the next morning to about fifty notifications. Your comment has reached the top 200. Twelve people have replied to your comment. By the time I got through all of them, more had come. I checked my profile and saw that I had thousands of thumbs, and dozens of people had sent friend requests or posted on my profile, saying they loved what I had done. And I saw a purpose. I had been given a once in a lifetime opportunity. No, once in a thousand lifetimes. People were comparing me to Ray Bingo or “Asians can read minds,” but they were loving it. So I took up my mantle and spread the geckos throughout FunnyJunk. And the love kept coming. Top hundred. Top ten. Top comment. Hundreds of alerts, professing their love. But I knew that it couldn’t last. Everything has to end. I’ve seen these fads, coming in and then slowly dying, lingering in FJ, thinking they could go on. I’ve wished that they would just end, take their fifteen minutes of fame and not try to drag it out. Hell, it happens in real life. So this is what I can give to you, FunnyJunk. I don’t quite know how this happened, but I do know how it will end. This will be my last comment. I’ve seen people calling me a savior, somebody who can change this site. I can’t give you change. I doubt anybody can. All I can give you is a symbol, and maybe one final lick.

You know. You did change Funnyjunk... Just a week before, you would have been called a faggot spammer and showered in red thumbs, but you aren't. You're a funnyjunker, and a good one, probbably the best. You cheered us up with your gecko .gif. You are an inspiration to us all.
Like I said in another comment somewhere forever lost in the area between top OC of all time and frontpage.... "You came when we didn't want you, but needed you. And you left when we wanted you, but didn't need you." I know it's taken from Nanny McFee and Marry Poppins (Can't spell the name, been ages since I saw it) but it fits the description of you perfectly. You came as a spammer, became loved and started rising as a fad, and just before people would start to lose interest in you, you did something so fucking glorious they should build a statue of you in the pantheon. You stopped. Instead of fishing for a declining number of thumbs untill It'd just be a few greens here, a few greens there, you just walked away.
I don't know weather to take that stroke of genius as you being the pinnicle of manliness or genious, or both. However, there's one thing certain. What you did, is art, beautiful art. You changed this website. You didn't do it in a way that could be seen, not making people act different towards eachother.
You changed this site in a deeper way. You touched out hearts, and I, atleast, shall always treasure the bookmark which will take me to this very comment.
You would make Kamina proud.

Well. It has come to this. I knew the day would come. The day when you didn't think funnyjunk needed you. Your the hero that we need, but dont deserve. One who dared to bring justice to a society plagued by evil. G&C, you have been an insperation to us all. In the end... It is we who needed something to believe in, and GODDAMIT you supplied it. You will be missed geckosandcheerios. None shall take your place, as the shoes of your resposibilitys are far too large for another to wear. Goodbye G&C, or, should I say... cheerio....

You know, I commented to this one time with only a picture. I didn't really know who you were at the moment but now that I truly do and now that I've seen some of the messages that have been sent to you I feel like it's about time I gave you a real good bye message. I know you probably will never read this but its worth the effort I am putting into it. You brought something that no one else will never be able to bring to this website. Hope. Hope that someone else worthy enough could possibly stand close enough to where you stand now.
Good night sweet prince.

geckosandcheerios may be gone, but what he left us was the chance for redemption as a community. He helped us move closer together, and now it's our time to do the rest.
Basically this song, but replace Lamarck with geckosandcheerios

Geckosandcheerios, I have just completed a pilgrimage in your honor. I have gone through every comment you made that hasn't been deleted and given you a green thumb on each. It took four hours of my life, but I can't think of a more honorable way to have spent that time. Thank you.
And to all of you other FJers, I will not ask you to do the same, but what I will ask is that you take a moment to appreciate this users dedication to his craft. He was one hell of a spammer, maybe the best there ever was.

I don't know, guys. I've been sitting here for an hour, crying, trying to think of the right thing to say but I just can't. I've been trying to articulate my feelings but I can't do it. I've been trying to find quotes from other people that express my feelings but there isn't anything. I guess if there is anything I could say, it's that geckosandcheerios leaving really licked my emotional cheerio.

Fear not fellow junkies. Geckosandcheerios will come back to us. Not with the same name, nor the same posts. But as a new account, fresh with promise. And he shall lurk among us. Thumb among us. Post among us. A legend living life as a newfag, much like Morrowind's navarine. But all that matters is that he shall still be with us.

I would like to congratulate you geckosandcheerios. In a few days, you managed to influence the minds, hearts, and souls of thousands of users. You have performed a task that even the psychic corps have trouble managing, and for that, I would like to award you Yuri's psychic seal of approval. Congratulations and may your journey be safe.

"Remember remember the Twenty-fifth of Nov-January
Cheerios, reason and geckos.
I see no reason why Geckos and Cheerios
Should ever be forgot..."
Gonna miss 'ya bud. Came as an annoyance and prankster, but left as a hero. Four days and you've become nearly the most popular person to ever set foot in FJ. Kudos to you.

**ccozensa rolls 53** Listen here FunnyJunk. I am known, I am respected, I am hated, and I am loved. I am a man of silence, a quiet man. I do not speak unless it is necessary, and I am here to say that this, this is an important moment in our history. I will most likely delete this comment soon, and go back to my previous life, but until then, know that this man, geckosandcheerios, was influential enough to draw speech from the speechless. You sir, you are a legend, and you deserve our respect. You will never be forgotten.

**iamjustheretoroll rolled a random image posted in comment #224991 at Pokemon ** oh, the feels
I've only seen a few of your comments, and when I saw them I kind of just ignored them. Thinking it was just another spammer. But I was wondering why the thumbs? Is this spammer any different from the others? Nah.
But after seeing this comment, I realized that you, geckosandcheerios, are not an ordinary spammer, you, somehow, brought this somewhat disfuctional site together as one. And for your happiness you brought so many people, I will remember you for this comment, and every time I see a Gecko, or eat Cheerios, you will be the person I think of. I salute you with great honor, for doing the impossible, you created this random joke to make a few people laugh. But then you left a bigger mark than practically any other feels post or anyone could ever leave. You are the hero that the world deserves. Goodbye, Great Prince.

seriously? you all think this guy is a hero?
so a stupid sensible spammer is more loved than people who actually puts a lot of effort to try to improve this website and gets criticism....
oh wait, this is funnyjunk, where logic does not exist. I almost forget it...

This is beautiful. Your work was admirable, and it's gonig to be sad to see you go.
But you've served us well, my good gecko, and you've brought a few tears to my eyes with your final speech. I'm saddened that I never got to befriend you. But I hesitated for far too long, I guess.
Here's to you, geckosandcheerios, a warrior returning to his home. I wish for you nothing but the best, and I'll try to hold back the tears. Farewell. I love you.

Oh man... He's done what few have ever done before him. Rather than drag his 15 minutes of fame on and on until people got tired of him, he's cutting it off in it's prime. You're a great man, geckosandcheerios, and you're exit has been the most graceful I've seen on this site.

Time to write your requiem while trying not to cry.
geckosandcheerios entered our life suddenly and without warning. Some loved him and others hated him. But he defiantly changed us as a community. For many years many the sands time blow brings sorrow and joy to those who stand to withstand it may see tomorrow. But so long as the winds of time blow no man will ever forget you. You who could climb to the top like a rocket reaching for the stars. Keep soaring buddy. You were truly the best of us all. You arose a hero and left before you became the villain. You were the hero we needed not the one we deserved but despite our short comings you became our hero. I wish I had words to properly send you away. But I know in all the hearts of Funny Junkers we have one gift to give. We give you our memory and an immortality in our hearts and minds of all who knew you. God speed friend. Long live geckosandcheerios. Stay golden.
God damn it now I'm crying. I wish we could have more time to appreciate what you have given us.
Goodbye friend you were the best fad FJ ever had.

So let me get this straight. We have the majority of people start riots if content is reposted once, but people praised you as a god for spamming Funnyjunk with a gif that's not funny are cute. Really? Seriously? Fuck all of you.

**NorwegianChris rolled a random image posted in comment #1834 at Friendly ** You came, you saw, you conquered and you ended it on your own terms. I never really did figure out what to make of you; are you the greatest thing to ever grace this site, or are you the worst kind of attention seeker ever? Because of this, I'm not sure how to respond to your leaving us, but I'm leaning towards something along the lines of sadness and respect... Hopefully the image I rolled will accurately convey this for me seeing as how I don't have a suitable picture in my own reaction folder. Godspeed, geckosandcheerios. Thank you for brightening my day with your aloofness... :')

You sir, are both a gentleman and a scholar. I've learnt so much from you. You choose to take back your life from the depths of Funnyjunk, whereas we cannot. You gave us hope and brought us wisdom. Although your reign was short, you will be remembered as a hero. Have a good life, for I hope we shall meet in the next. Go on and spread your wings of glory through the world, our beautiful saviour. You will always have a special place in my heart. I'll miss you, but we must all move on. Godspeed, my wingless angel.

You are truly the hero this internet deserves
It's a shame though, that others will attempt to take your place as Our Savior
But they cannot. Those of us who have remained true to your ways will never forget.
Nor will we follow another Savior.
Rest in peace.

that was beautiful, and you inspired me to go on a 7 hour binge of gecko videos and likely made me want to buy a pet gecko more then before, not sure of your species but i'm thinking of getting a tokay gecko.
glad you posted and i really enjoys watching this play out.

Why...
Why in the name of all that is good and sacred would you post that?
WHy?...
I was trying to run, trying to run away from the god darn deppression that game and character caused to me, knowing i'll never have something as good, especially because I'm me, and she's not real. I was trying to bury it all down by just simply pretending I never even saw it, by drowning it all in funny content...
And then...
You..
You HAD to...
It's so beautiful, but horrible at the same time.
Why would you do this to me?

You're an interesting individual, and if I have to hand you anything, it's that you've really gotten allllll over the place, in less than a week. I could barely even think, of accomplishing such an incredible feat. I've seen some impressive stuff, but really I think this will be sticking with. So congratulations, revel in your accomplishments, you've earned it.

Over the last few days, a part of me wanted to rage-red-thumb you into 404 oblivion, and another part wanted to green thumb you and your reptiles into the #1 spot and oust Our Faggot Lord Phanact...you won over the latter part, and I and FunnyJunk salute you
Are all you people completely serious? how is this guy getting love and applause when he did the same thing "Asians can read minds" and "that's a sexual reference" people got so much hate? Double standards. I will brave the shit storm coming just to say this is stupid as hell.
I think the difference was that the .gif wasn't an immature sex joke, and no one likes anon spam. Geckos still spammed, and you're right about double standards, but it wasn't quite as shitty as the rest, which kind of made it funny.
