Maybe someone put a spell on her. That's it. A spell. And every time she speaks or posts it comes out a a lie. And the only way to break the spell is to convince Channing Tatum to dance with her under a blood moon while all of the RefuPeas watch from afar. So rather than spreading untruths from now until the raven calls three times on Black Friday, SP has done the honorable thing and removed her presence from the board.
She is off on her great steed searching hither and yon for that great god of a man, Sir Channing. She shall ride through dust and flood with only the help of her lowly servants... The Kardashian sisters.... Yes those other misunderstood women of lore... And when SC is found she will send us all pea mail (she was going to use owls as a delivery service, but that is so yesterday.). And when we all gather round to watch the love dance take place we will be filled with awe by her beauty. (Except for me. I will be too busy having carnal thoughts about the god of great asses, SC.) and we shall all beg for forgiveness and it shall be granted for SP is a loving little witch. But from this day forward we will all remember the saying "Oh what interwebs we weave, when first we practice to deceive!"

I find it bizarre that someone would take the time to find a fake pic, develop a back story, and post it. I find equally bizarre that there are people so invested in this board that they not only investigated the pic (no matter how easy it was to find), but hurried back to the pod to call the faker out.
For me, this is just Reason# 5809 to never share any overly personal information here.

I just find this whole thing so strange, that a longtime prominent pea would do this on such an insignificant thread.
Just throwing this out there, since we moved to the new board, is there any possibility that the real Scrappower from the old pod never came over and the person posting here as here was trolling with a known ID? I truly don't believe Skypea is Skybar from the old pod so now I'm curious if Scrappower was the real Scrappower.

What amazes me is how easily how some of you choose to believe the worse of someone without knowing all the facts. Again has anyone talked to Scrappower IRL? Until somebody does or until she actually comes on this board and tells us what happened you don't know the facts and why what happened happened. If it wasn't her posting, it would have been so easy for her to just say that. But she didn't. She deleted her account here. Sometimes I think some of you need to step back and look at what you post. The gang on here can be very judgmental without knowing all the facts. Whatever her reasons for posting "The Picture" rather than trying to explain to this crowd she may have decide to say "f*#k you" and close her account or who knows why she left or why she posted the picture. I don't and I'm not going to pretend that I do.

It isn't the picture... it is the lie. Any community, even this one, is built on some level of trust. A lie undermines the trust. Someone else posted a photo of an alligator (or crocodile) but noted it wasn't really them. No one HAS to participate so no reason to lie. I think that's it right there. The trust. We share a lot here. It's a comfort zone for us, and when someone lies, for whatever reason, it shakes up the comfort zone. We tend to (or at least *I* do) take everything a face value...until we have a reason not to. It makes us not want to reveal a part of ourselves, because who can you trust? And this has been a place of comfort to so many. I like Scrappower, I do. I wish her well, I hope she is able to overcome her illness. But even if she does come back (and I'm not saying she shouldn't if that's what she chooses), it's going to take a very long time to get over that loss of trust. And I'm sure quite a few of us, yes even me, can forgive....but can we ever forget? I believe it was after Sidneygate that we had a Pea pass away unexpectedly. There had been one or two other scams on the boards as well, and a lot of the regular Peas were feeling burned. If I remember correctly, this Pea had been rather outspoken and divisive at times. I believe it was her son who posted on her account that she had died. At first there were condolences, but then somebody questioned if it was really her son, or actually the Pea herself trying to pull another one over on us. It got pretty ugly for a while until it was proven that she had truly passed away. If I'm remembering any of this wrong please correct me, it's been a while, but I just thought of it as an unfortunate example of what can happen when trust among the group is broken.

And much more intriguing than figuring out this mess.

All this emphasis on trusting strangers is sort of silly. Unless you know each other IRL you don't know whether anything you read is true. At best, you're given a carefully curated version of events. At worst, nothing is true. Some of the posters I trust the least are those who feel the need to keep mental spreadsheets on community members.

I hope she's okay... I wrote this in the other thread before I saw this one, but I have bad anxiety, depression, and PTSD... I understand someone wanting to connect and not feel alone yet being terrified to open up and show yourself to others at the same time... The internet allows that to happen...
When I first signed up to 2Ps, I definitely used it as an escape from my life... I didn't become someone else, but my 2Ps world didn't include the situations, people, and triggers that my real life did/does... Maybe it was luck, but I never felt the need or want to create a new persona for myself - existing in a place where I was a non-specific, vague, not too personal version of myself was enough... I've also been very lucky/blessed that I've had no bad experiences on the 2Ps board or here... I've felt like I could share more of my individual/personal self with everyone, and even posted a picture of myself in the other thread...
We all know that at any time, something on the Internet - especially in a forum/message board (and especially on a dating site lol), could turn out to be anything from the absolute truth, to the polished up version of things, to an outright lie... It sucks and hurts when it happens, but it is a part of being online...
Just like saying someone else's design is your own, saying that someone else's image (both likeness and photo), is your own is wrong... Whatever her reasons, I hope she finds some help or clarity or peace or security - whatever it is that she's missing and was trying to find... I worry that this could be devastating for someone who needed the connection so much... There can be compassion without condoning her choices, and I hope she knows that...
I guess I'm a bit calculating maybe... I 'don't risk more than I can loose' and to me that means not becoming overly invested in another person that I only know as an avatar and screen name... As we become friends - email, Facebook, pen pals, in person, etc, I'll risk (trust, open up), more because I have more evidence (that's sounds cold), that our relationship is true...

Oh come on, stop giving her an alibi. She knew to contact the admin to delete all her posts so she could go hide. I thought she was posting that pic to get us to ask what hand-fasting was.

I thought you were still choppedliver but when I saw "Sam", I was having a blonde moment and thought you had changed your name at the new pod. I'm really glad you posted so I could unconfuse myself. Ha ha, I'm still just chopped liver. :-p

Does anyone know SP outside of the board? I told her on a thread once she sounded a lot like scrapperwithaview. She said she was friends with her IRL. Maybe someone knows how to contact her.

I saw her post the photo herself and she did give background to the photo in follow up posts - she said it was taken by her DH the first time she performed a hand-fasting and that it was taken in Oregon. So, yeah. It's not speculation, it's what happened. Where you sitting next to her when she typed her post. Because if you weren't then you don't know for sure what happened. Or why it happened. Could you be sitting right next to her? Like almost as if you are one entity?

I could be way off base but krazyscapper in all of your recent posts regarding this topic you seem to be very defensive of her. Are you just giving the benefit of the doubt or do you actually know her? I personally find the fake photo/stories odd. I'm guilty of a lot of things but I try really hard not to be judgmental. I can't imagine feeling like I couldn't be "real" here, on FB or in real life. 14 years ago I met one of my best friends on the old 2peas site and also had the pleasure of meeting 4 other peas that I'm still contact with. I don't do fake.

I have no problem with scrappower, but I'm not going to sit here pretending that she didn't lie. Regardless, whoever she is, I wish her the best.

I think Cindy was posting the element of being "surprised" by this thread. I like a little emotion here and there I like it that there are so many posting styles on this mb, some I like and some I don't, shrug.

Why not give her benefit of doubt? Maybe it was her a few years ago, not a few months ? Couldn't chemo brain cause one to mistype / misspeak? Really? REALLY?
When she posted it she said it was a couple of months ago.
Then someone asked about the date because the photo was labeled 2011 and she got all indignant and said that people can change dates on photos and again said it was a couple of months ago.
She was questioned about where it was and she had an answer (which probably isn't even remotely true).
And then she went on to give details about the occasion (a friends wedding) and that she officiated it as a high priestess.
That's not mistyping, misspeaking, or chemo brain. That's flat out lying.
ETA: There was no detective work necessary. Someone else called her out on it and she continued to lie. I'm not the only one that questioned her or that had seen this picture in other places. Quit acting like it was buried deep in some FBI files that took some skill to find. It's pinned to practically every single board that is about wicca on Pinterest.
That. The whole thing is so strange. It's not like she was nervous about posting a pic but had to and so used someone elses. Posting a pic here was voluntary, and she was on pages 1-2 I think, so quickly jumped and in then made up a story.

I am just telling you this because I stumbled across it accidently (but I didn't click to see the source etc) and others may have too. Again, I didn't come here and say anything, I was late to thread and was on the 1st few pages when all hell was breaking loose at the end of the thread unbeknownst to me. So not sure anyone invested any time in this, Anyway I agree with your Reason #5809 lol, can't be too safe!

To me, the difference between your experience and some of the others I've read is that A: you didn't make it a point to rush back here and call her out, and B: you didn't start looking to see when the picture was actually taken, etc. Granted, my level of investment still isn't high enough to have Googled it myself, but I'm skeptical that finding picture dates of 2009/2011/whenever was immediately accessible by a search for handfasting.

And the only way to break the spell is to convince Channing Tatum to dance with her under a blood moon while all of the RefuPeas watch from afar. So rather than spreading untruths from now until the raven calls three times on Black Friday, SP has done the honorable thing and removed her presence from the board. She is off on her great steed searching hither and yon for that great god of a man, Sir Channing. She shall ride through dust and flood with only the help of her lowly servants...

And when SC is found she will send us all pea mail (she was going to use owls as a delivery service, but that is so yesterday.). And when we all gather round to watch the love dance take place we will be filled with awe by her beauty. (Except for me.

Olan Thanks for saying that... I hesitated quite a bit before posting because I wasn't sure I could explain what I was thinking without it sounding like a defence of her actions... I also know that a few others have this as our safe place and it means so much to us... Loosing it - even if it was our own doing, would be a hard hit to take... I find it really touching when people offer ways for her to apologize, clarify, come back, etc... I know not everyone feels okay with that and that's okay too...

So yes I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt until I know the entire story. If we never know the entire story then so be it. But what I'm getting a kick out of is reading all the spin and self justification going on. One day we may know the entire story but I know for now I have spent enough time down this particular rabbit hole.

Well that's a bummer - I missed the thread where everyone was posting pictures, until I saw this thread. I feel bad that it was scrappower, she's been kind of a fixture, though I didn't interact with her often.
I belong to another community where people start businesses, "sell" a bunch of product they end up not delivering (maybe years into owning the business), and then, then! They fake their own death.
I don't lose sleep over having compassion for people who smokescreen a community they belong to and then ghost when they are caught - it was never French teenagers, or cancer, or a deployed boyfriend, or any of that shit. The hoofbeats have been, so far, always horses.
I like this kind of thread though where you see some pretty compassionate and super decent people post - most recently Olan (I've always been a fan!) and Penny. You guys are considerate and thoughtful and I dig it.
But I also really understand people getting tired of playing charades. It's doesn't matter that the person is lying and building this castle of bullshit on a message board, until one day it does.

Yeah....but what about her DH? He got Jenna Dewan as a consolation prize and lives happily ever after. Does that mean Channing Tatum is back on the market? Because that's the most important bit of info I've gotten from this thread.
I'm confused, not surprised, sorry I'm not surprised and weirded out at the same time. Those French teenagers are such troublemakers.

I guess I'm a bit calculating maybe... I 'don't risk more than I can loose' and to me that means not becoming overly invested in another person that I only know as an avatar and screen name... As we become friends - email, Facebook, pen pals, in person, etc, I'll risk (trust, open up), more because I have more evidence (that's sounds cold), that our relationship is true...
Two things - 1. thank you for posting this - it 's kind of how I approach the board too. It's like (and this sounds sort of awful), friendships that don't need to be reciprocated. I love that I can come here and vent or ask a question, and there will always be someone with a shoulder to lean on and a kind word if I need it. But I can retreat into my shell, be busy with my life and take breaks and come back, and even though I'm not well known or "popular", I'm still welcomed back. I try to contribute and reciprocate, but I know I don't as much as I should. It's why I suck at friendships in real life. And I've been very burned by internet friendships in the past, and that's part of the reason I sort of keep my distance and don't "risk more than I can lose". But I think this board is much better than the NSBR was, whether it's because people are deliberately nicer, or there are fewer of us, or if we lived through some sort of internet apocalypse together so we're a tighter, better community, idk.
2. I thought you were pennyring from the other board, but now I don't think so anymore? So I'm sorry for confusing/assuming that - never in a good or bad way - but just for the past year, I guess, I've thought you were someone else.
