RogueSci
As many of you are likely aware, roguesci.org was a website similar to this one, which promoted the discussion of amateur science, though with much
more emphasis on practical application and nefarious use.
6 years ago, it vanished from the face of the internet, along with a large majority of its userbase. At the time, one of the site's moderators
(nbk2000) was facing murder charges and I assumed the admin (megalomania) had taken the site down to protect him, but 3 years after nbk was sentenced
to 50 years in prison, mega still hasn't emerged from the woodwork to provide us with an explanation.
Do you think he receive a NSL, or just got paranoid/lost interest?
Has anyone heard from him at all during the past 3 years?

That's really screwed up. If RogueSci
had people like that for moderators, I'd say good riddance... I certainly wouldn't want to be associated with that in the least bit.

Interesting articles!
I used to go on Roguesci/Explosives and weapons forum often when I was young.
NBK was the only one like that from what I remember, always abusing people for grammatical errors and stupid things. Ran the place like a nazi.

NBK2000 WAS a nazi- LITERALLY.
He went on at length about racial purity, inferiority of the (fill in the blanks as you please, it probably fits) the whole Nazi schtick as
interpreted by the white supremacist neo-nazi convicts he was among the FIRST time he went to prison.
Check out this video to see NBK2000 in court. Dweezil Zappa has a far better camera presence than this pattern baldness afflicted So. Cal. fuck boy.
http://archive.news10.net/news/article/183813/2/Jury-returns...
After looking at the video of NBK2000, look at a picture of, say, Josef Goebbels?
I have a sad feeling that the folks who most ardently support the idea of the blond demigod Aryan supermen look like these two. Just as the ass
slapping in the huddle football jocks who so ardently call others they dislike "faggots" as their opprobrium of choice, the thing you fear or dislike
about yourself most is projected against the "other".
A whole lot of methamphetamine abuse would likely be Arthur Carnes greatest similarity to his Third Reich Nazi heroes. And a contributing factor
towards his behavior on roguesci and final denouement.
I will never forgive the utter BS of his treatment of Axt, particularly. Carnes was not fit to clean Axt's lab glassware, let alone boot him from a
web site he was a founding member of.
(Edit)
But let me tell you how I REALLY feel...

I really wonder sometimes what became of Axt. He stopped posting here almost six years ago. That guy inspired me in so many ways... topical compendium
of EM, for instance, as a tribute. Brilliant. Perhaps hiding to preserve what anonymity the internet had left in 2009.

It's definitely a trait of supremacists of all stripes that they tend to belong to the dumbest and ugliest part of their 'race'. I'm guessing they
hope that the 'master race' will somehow will rub off on them.

Welp, that sounds like an odd case indeed, and I've heard a few odd ones (for certain reasons, I've read over quite a lot of court cases and sat
through a good deal as well).
To be honest, the guy sounds like he was an arrogant ass, and it finally caught up with him well. While there are definitely parts of the murder case
that sound odd (like dismemberment, keeping the pictures on the camera, using the ATMs, and fleeing to Canada, I mean...seriously?), but these can tie
in with his arrogant attitude I guess (nobody can catch me! I'm a Nazi!). I find it hilarious that his argument of "I'm so smart I could kill people
way better than this. I'm a natural born killer!" basically just made both sheep and people of intelligence just go "Nope, nope, and more nope!" all
the more, pretty much dooming his case entirely.

At least someone remembers... 
I've actually been trying to contact Axt/Lowery for the last 3 years, if anyone has a contact for him please PM me.

Hmm. Interesting problem.
How to contact someone you don't have the contact details for ?
What do we know about Axt ?
A Chemist.
Was a member here.
Got booted off by an asshole who is now in prison.
A USA citizen ?
Anything else ?

That forum must have been really horrible. I never have been active on that one, but if I read the posted thread, then I can only say: What a terrible
atmosphere 
It certainly did not help making amateur science more acceptable in the eyes of the general public.

Vulture and several others who were in on the beginning of this forum concurred- it's a hard sell, pushing Nazism to Dutch, Belgian and French folks,
usually. Though they had/have their own fascists if they feel the need, filthy Bosch Nazis need not apply!
As I recall personal communications with members from the early 2,000's I believe in some negative, counter irritant sense, RogueSci helped create and
shape this forum. It certainly helped shape the EM section.
Freaking American Nazis. My (second generation, German descended) maternal grandmother was one. Appalled my grandfather and great grandfather, who had
more sense. She went to the rallys in New York City and everything, up until Pearl Harbor. Then she became a rabid US nationalist. Still a fascist,
but not a Nazi anymore...

That forum was one of those that caused whomever stumbles across it to generalize that all home chemists are up to no good. It gave birth to such
lovely masterpieces like this beautiful thread (The author of the thread clearly did not ponder through his references enough),threads on sulfur mustard and home-made
nerve agents. Without mentioning that there was an entire section dedicated to synthesizing explosives (Just a blatant how-to,it does not give the
impression of exploring the chemistry behind the synthesis),I would immediately say that the entire forum was filled with scumbags. Good riddance
indeed.

Members of RS then proceeded to infect ScienceMadness with their forum's content and started a few nerve agent threads on SM,RS members SWARMED to the
threads like bees.
By the way,there is a complete copy of the RS forum stored on a website on the Deep Web that includes the explosives section I mentioned in a previous
post.

Hard to believe that this was the kind of chemistry discussed on that forum. Why on earth would you ever want to make nerve agents at home? These
people are mad and it is a good thing that the forum does not exist anymore. It is not the description of the chemistry behind nerve agents which is a
problem with that forum, but the way these people talk about it. I can imagine that these people really try to do these things in their garage or
basement bringing themselves and numerous other people in danger. Who knows what forums exist nowadays in the deep web  . I personally do not feel like trying to find out.

Not all of them will try such things but I still can imagine at least some of them are mad enough to play around with this kind of stuff. Fortunately
the required reagents are not as OTC as their writings try to make us believe. However, a really dedicated and sufficiently mad person might be able
to do this, the procedures are not totally beyond reach of home chemists.
In the Netherlands we have had a mad guy whose house was raided in 2014. He had quite a few CWC-precursors at his home and he had some small bottles
with blistering agents. These materials were stored in a normal house in a box. His family had warned the police when they discovered this. So, abuse
of chemicals for this purpose is not totally theoretical, it is a scary real possibility. Didn't we also have a guy on sciencemadness who was
experimenting with VX? I'm not sure about this.
