Tim Buckley dun goofs with racist joke - 15/04/2011
On 15th April 2011, Tim released a comic which was considered racist via his series Ctrl Alt Del. The comic involved the robot Zeke wearing a black face and one of them making an offensive stereotypical remark. Although soon the comic was found and argued about, Buckley immediately took it down however it still can be viewed here.
He then re-released the comic and made the racism slightely more subtle, but also kept it with a huge dosage of unfunny. However he took it down once more and re-released it with just minor word change.
In the wake of the shitstorm, Buckley disabled anyone from registering on the forums. He then tried to apologize using tl;dr, ultimately failing to get people to cry for him and his racist jokes.Sirmudkipz 07:53, 15 April 2011 (CDT)

British govt. learns about PDFs - 18/04/2011
They released a sensitive document about nuclear submarines to the public. Some text was redacted (blacked out) in the PDF. Instead of removing the sensitive text, they just make the background black, leaving the text. So anyone could just copy and paste the "hidden" text, etc.

- I hope to God that he's being trolled again and that he hasn't totally lost the plot. I can't unsee what I've just seen-Ket 07:38, 29 April 2011 (EDT)
- This is what happens when Chris doesn't get to play his PS3 online (although I believe these were taken from long ago and have just been uploaded now by one of the many e-mail trolls Chris trusts). --Sirmudkipz 08:02, 29 April 2011 (EDT)
- Probably, considering the man is as naive and trusting as a puppy. There is the fact that people have pointed out that because his hair is actually pretty grown out in those images they might be recent, though-Ket 08:18, 29 April 2011 (EDT)
- We need a Chris-Chan portal, just saying, he had such a long history, he deserves at least 3 pages for all the stupid shit people have done to to, also, these seem fairly new, maybe Chris has taken to trying to get some men since no woman will touch him (willingly) New user 05:59, 3 May 2011 (EDT)
