...Well, I went back to the thread to link a friend who somehow hadn't heard of it despite being a seasoned goon, and to my considerable astonishment, the thread is STILL GOING. It's on its 50th page and the last post dates back a mere two days. Seems that Nick sold his NSX, how odd.
Link for those who missed it the first time around:

It remains to this day the single most incredible internet beatdown I've ever witnessed.
tl;dr (you're missing out though):
Guy registers on a Honda NSX owners' club forum, bragging about how he won $63k in cash on an online poker site, which he then bought a brand-new NSX with
Guy is flamed for blatantly advertising and just being an asshole in general
Guy becomes more of an asshole in response
Poker site is revealed to be his own
Guy denies this, forum member runs a whois to get his details
It is revealed that guy is not living as high a life as he claimed, and that he lives in an apartment 18 miles from the coast, not in an island mansion like he claims
Guy denies this, still trying to hit back (very weakly)
It comes to light that guy is on the South Carolina sex offenders register and holy fuck do things ever get good after that.
Guy gets absolutely grilled as NSXPrime members link their friends, who link theirs, etc., resulting in the thread being viewed by members of car clubs based everywhere from the US to Europe and Australia (including the Citroen Car Club of NSW - my dad had read the thread before I had!)
Thread is now getting THOUSANDS of views per day, having been linked from nearly every other car site on the fucking planet as well as several non-car sites (FP, here, SA, etc.); thousands of guests register on the forums to leave comments (for the NSXPrime folks as well as Nick)
Someone finds his fucking Myspace complete with photos of girls that don't look to be over 18, in underwear and bending over his bed
Holy fucking shit hilarity ensued.
