Popbob

Popbob is a very infamous autist and griefer in 2b2t history. He is known for being both one of the oldest active players on 2b2t as well as one of the most iconic ones, primarily due to the exposure and over-dramatization by FitMC. He's notorious for supposedly having griefed more bases than any other known player on the server, although this achievement has long been contested by jared2013.

Early Times
Popbob joined 2b2t in very early 2011 as a 4channer and would later become a facepuncher. He was one of the oldest 2b2t players. As policemike55 once said: "I know there are older players on 2b2t but he is the oldest I can remember." The most famous base popbob was a part of was Squid Base, or Passie Town as it was known much later. He found the base randomly during a base hunt by going through nether portals. Popbob had already gained notoriety as a greifer, even back then, so the members of Squid Town gave him a tour and an invitation to join as they came to terms that the base would be greifed. Luckily for them, popbob accepted the invitation. He teamed with policemike55, passie05, xcc2, chase101, and CreamOfTheSlop and helped with the construction. He would go on to build a glass dome there. Luke2thebun would later grief the base so they abandoned it.

Popbob brought his former base-mates to a new place to found what was later known as Plugin Town. Popbob was making plugins for HauseMaster at the time and backdoored one of them. This allowed popbob to gain access to creative mode, teleport, and use Not Enough Items, which he later gave to his fellow basemates. Popbob violated both of these rules, so hausemaster discorvered his backdoor very quickly, leading to the base's abandonment. He also made another solo base. He dug several holes all the way down to bedrock for no particular reason. He was consistently hateful in the main chat and ridiculed everyone constantly. In personal chats with other players, he acted somewhat friendly, or at least not completely toxic. While he was being friendly (in comparison), though, he would be logging on with alts, lavacasting and blowing things up, or stealing information from other people's PCs. In later years, he became more quiet, just spamming with Welcomer and Announcer. He may have been taking different medications over the years, creating different versions of popbob.

Popbob was able to do many things other players could not do because of his backdoor access to 2b2t. This allowed him to do things like spawning in materials and even making a pig spawner.

Popbob was also apart of early Facepunch bases in 2011. One of the most well known was the "1095 365" base. The members were popbob, Tark, Dachande, stewe231, and Phagocytic.

After he left Passie Town, popbob moved on to play with his FP friends and many others but would never stay with a group for long. He made some smaller bases with his previous basemates as well, such as 700base in 2013 with xcc2 and other facepunchers. He shared his backdoor abilities with other players, and they built Plugin Town. However, popbob continued to grief and was still a very dangerous person. Over the years, popbob, iTristan and other members of The Tyranny created their own client, nhack, to support his base finding and exploits.

Griefing and Autismal Outbursts
"popbob is a relic and a treasure to be cherished, he is known to everyone in one way or another from newfriends to players who played since early 2011. He has also a very peculiar personality, both laconic(when not spamming) and autistic. Some people leave, some people stay and those who do always change. I remember popbob from 2011 summer and he is still the same sadistic trash he was back then. May he never change."

Popbob went on to become an infamous griefer and autist. He worked as a lone wolf mostly in his griefing outbreaks and occasionally griefed with other facepunchers during the facepunch times of 2b and with D4RKJ0E (Jared) or iTristan during the Age of Tyranny. He was able to determine other players' coordinates using the thunderbolt exploit. The exploit used an oversight in Minecraft's code that allowed the coordinates of thunder to be tracked down through packets, as the sound of thunder was global and would only strike where players were located. The exploit would send the coordinates to popbob in chat, which allowed Popbob to find players, kill them, and grief their bases.

Another activity that gained popbob infamy was stealing information from other players. When many players, including xcc2, taylo112, iTristan, were rebuilding a base known as Kaamtown, popbob used nhack to screenshot Omaliymix and Kaameron's desktop and send it to them. They both quit 2b2t after that, and xcc2 stopped using nhack. However, iTristan and ImperatorTerrae, as well as some others, continued to use it.

However, during the third incursion, Popbob's griefing reign finally ended when the third Incursion members hunted Popbob down and caused him to combat log. After this, popbob has left and rejoined many times on alt accounts or his main, spamming chat like a 5-year-old to indicate that he's back in the game. Popbob uses alt accounts to keep his identity secret from the wave of new players, as the majority of them do not know the existence of these. Many people believe popbob quit 2b2t because of what Fit said, but he joins 2b2t occasionally on alternate accounts. Popbob was seen on December 4th, 2016, and some time in 2016 he re-connected a link in a chain of beds using the bed teleportation exploit on an alternate account known as RadicalHiccup so that Jared2013 could use it to grief a base known as the Lands, a base owned by Jacktherippa. The last time he was seen for a long while was on April 1st, 2017, on the April Fools Map. The reason for his unexplained absence was that he was interested in playing other games, such as Football Manager 2016 (although this highly is questionable).

Trivia

 * popbob was amongst the first players to use hacks on 2b2t. Hacks at the time were not as readily available to the public as they are now. People would either code the early "hacked clients" themselves, or would get them from friends, or sketchy sites (as if they still are not sketchy today). Due to the fact that this was in early Minecraft, these may have been the first hacks ever used on Minecraft.
 * Despite his destructive tendencies, popbob seemed to enjoy building as well. Popbob's most known build is his trademarked glass dome, although many new players seem to associate every glass dome with popbob.
 * Many of his friends are convinced that he has autism in real life due to his weird nature.
 * popbob has been spotted on a different anarchy server named "Constantiam" quite a few times.
