LUE
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
LUE, an acronym for Life, Universe and Everything is the most infamous GameFAQs forum boards. If you dislike TL;DR articles, click here for a brief, yet complete, summary. If 4chan is the asshole of the internet, LUE is the colon.

[edit] The Origins
In the beginning, there was GameFAQs.
GameFAQs was started by CJayC as a repository of fake Pokémon codes. There was a small message board, but membership was restricted to only those who had obtained Mew by moving the truck. GameFAQs was eventually successful enough to add a second board, this one devoted to those who had unlocked Luigi in Super Mario 64. The population of both boards grew over time, and more and more boards were added, until one day CJayC, at the peak of his creativity, formed Life, the Universe, and Everything, a board named after a line in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Originally founded by CJayC to host mind-challenging threads and extremely intellectual debates about life in general, it soon gathered a group of insightful individuals whose common intellect soon grew too powerful for CJayC (or anyone else on the the internets, for that matter) to handle. LUEsers, as they started calling themselves, slowly mutated into a species of overpowered individuals. Linked together by mystical powers that cannot be comprehended by mundanes, they built a religion around their new holy God that they worship daily: LUEshi. Outside experts conjecture that the LUEsers must have found nothing less than the meaning of life, and that it must be somewhat connected to LUEshi.
[edit] Raiding exploits
LUE made many a raid in it's time. While most were pretty fail, some were noteworthy. Perhaps the most infamous was the invasion of a Livejournal belonging to a girl named "JustShana"... Or, rather, was named "JustShana", seeing as how she had become An Hero before LUE found it. Her parents kept the journal open after she died to allow her friends to post sappy comments and poetry. Unfortunately for them, they left the door wide open for the entrance of an INTERNET HATE MACHINE. Much like 4chan's raid of Mitchell Henderson's myspace, LUE came, saw, and had sex with Shana's corpse. Gamefaqs, being full of pussies, screamed to CjayC for e-justice. He responded by commiting the great SteriLUEzation, which will be detailed later in the article.
Another of the more interesting raids was the assault upon Gamefaq's own Zelda Social Board, which was notorious for being more elitist than LUE. A popular user, Umaro, stopped by to talk about the triforce tattoo he had gotten done to himself. The Zelda Social board instantly went batshit insane, pissing themselves because someone posted a topic related to the Legend of Zelda series on their board. Yes.. On the Zelda.Social.Board.
Umaro ran to LUE to cry about how the mean people yelled at him over the internets, and LUE promptly responded by totally overrunning the board with goatse, trolling, posting various topics related to Zelda, and basically fucking up the social board's shit. The destruction was so great that the Zelda Social board became hidden to those that did not know it's URL, and for several years afterwords if one stumbled upon it and posted anything vaguely resembling an LUE meme, the entire board would proceed to go into one huge, conglomerate fetal position and cry like frightened children. CjayC, being the lulz-killer that he is, promptly LUE and instituted a karma(Like a point system on gamefaqs) amount that had to be reached before one could access it. This event went down in history as "Black LUEsday".
[edit] The cult of LUEshi
Like Pat Robertson trying to make a buck, the LUEsers began to evangelize. They began posting LUEshi, their trademark ASCII representation of Mario Riding Yoshi as seen on the cover of Super Mario World, to every message board, chatroom, IRC channel, Wiki, and mailing list they could find. Surely this simple message contained immeasurable wisdom; alas, even the most talented scientists could not decipher LUEshi's message of hope as their reasearch was cut short by CjayC. He made posting the LUEshi ASCII grounds for a permaban
[edit] The SteriLUEzation and fall of LUE
When LUE and the Cult of LUEshi started to expand beyond control, CJayC was contacted by the FBI; he was given a direct order to close LUE to new members. CJayC complied and made it so only accounts created before November 15, 2003, 21:31 could join LUE. LUEsers were shattered, as this meant that the cult of LUE could no longer expand, but was doomed to wither. The group, sensing that its message would never be understood by the mere mortals of teh internets, started to become more and more closed and self-centered, quickly growing a sense of elitism. But hope springs eternal in the hearts of men, and the evangelization of LUEshi never truly stopped; their deity can still be occasionally sighted in several places like YTMND, 4chan and even in Miyamoto's hands.
[edit] LUElinks: A new hope
Tired of being ostracized, discriminated and oppressed by GameFAQs moderators that never converted to LUEshim and didn't allow relevant an on-topic links like the Unholy Trinity to be posted, a group of LUEsers founded LUElinks, a place where LUEsers could post their links without being persecuted by moderators that lacked the mental capabilities to understand the sheer awesomeness of their posts. Thus, LUELinks was born. At one point, CjayC tried to make posting, or even speaking of LUElinks a bannable offense, at which point LUEsers started to deny it's existance. Much care was taken in order to assure infidels never gained access to LUELinks; they hung a sign outside saying "NO GIRLS ALLOWED", for example. LUELinks grew to become more than just a place to gather links, but to this day its depths remain unplumbed.

[edit] Captain Planet
As part of their quest for enlightenment, the LUEsers have run across many of the secrets of the universe, not the least of which is Captain Planet. It is said that whenever six conveniently-gathered LUEsers are in trouble, they have but to recite the incantation below to summon their salvation:
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
GO PLANET!
By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!
[edit] The Unholy Trinity
Goatse, Tubgirl and Harlequin Fetus are the LUE Unholy Trinity. Posting a link to any of these links is like committing LUE Sepukku (LUEicide), since there's a 100% chance of being banned, but at least you'll be banned with honor.
[edit] Notable LUEsers
- LlamaGuy - Founder (and Deserter) of LUElinks
- BlackViper, a formerly luzly guy who left LUE to join the military. When he returned, he had become a maniac evangelist that was generally hated by everyone.
- Lunarhawk99 - The chosen one, seen as a messiah among LUEsers
- Umaro - Posted a pic of his cockinside of a gym sock on YTMND
- Kuro Ky - Completely non-notable, but happens to be friends with a certain ED SysOp
