BREAKING NEWS: The Greenhouse Academy bunkers down





The Greenhouse Academy is in late night crisis talks tonight as The Greenhouse Times goes to print.

The senior management of The GH is burning the midnight oil - and are at a loss to know how to deal with allegations that there is a fraud amongst the nominees for the 2014 Golden Boogs Awards.

The plush offices of The Greenhouse were ablaze late Friday night, after allegations made in this newspaper that a nominee for the 2014 Golden Boogs Newbie of the Year is, in fact, a longstanding member of the site, posting under another name.

It appears the nominee has multiple identities on The Greenhouse.

The Greenhouse Times entertainment reporter Kent Brockman said the crisis is unprecedented.

"It's unprecedented. It is really unprecedented. And by that I mean that we've never seen anything like this before" Brockman said.

And Brockman would know. One of the original Golden Boogs Awards was named in his honour, before the category was unceremoniously dropped.

Ironically, The Greenhouse Academy President, greeneyed, was the winner of the Kent Brockman Award in 2004. But this crisis will surely test the five time Golden Boogs Poster of the Year.

As he rushed into the crisis talks tonight, greeneyed was visibly shocked by the allegations made by The Greenhouse Times.

"No, no, no... no comment. If you blokes don't get out of the way, I'm really going to stack on a blue" he said.

This story will be updated as further news becomes available.

[SirMcSquid]

Don't hammer GE with so many questions. Can't GE just enjoy his 5 Golden Boogs Poster of the year awards? You know them ones?

[RedRaider]

Looks like the lights are on, but no one is home.

[Botman]

The admin asleep at the wheel? Imagine my surprise

Official statement from The Greenhouse



The Greenhouse is aware of allegations that a nominee for the 2014 Golden Boogs Awards may not be eligible in their category, namely Newbie of the Year. It is alleged that a poster has created multiple identities on the site, and that a nominee for Newbie of the Year is in fact a long standing poster.

These are serious allegations and the organising committee for the Boogs Awards, The Greenhouse Academy, is investigating them.

The Greenhouse will not be making any further comment on this matter at this time.

Silence is deafening at GH HQ
Sports Confidential Locker Room

The 2014 Golden Boogs scandal seems no closer to resolution after The Greenhouse awards organising committee remained bunkered down on Saturday. The Greenhouse issued an official statement, but it shed no new light on the allegations that there is a fraudster amongst the 2014 forum award nominees.

It reads:

The Greenhouse is aware of allegations that a nominee for the 2014 Golden Boogs Awards may not be eligible in their category, namely Newbie of the Year. It is alleged that a poster has created multiple identities on the site, and that a nominee for Newbie of the Year is in fact a long standing poster.

These are serious allegations and the organising committee for the Boogs Awards, The Greenhouse Academy, is investigating them.

The Greenhouse will not be making any further comment on this matter at this time.

No one at the site was available for comment today, with all staff making a quiet exit from GH HQ, unobserved by reporters.

Voting for the Golden Boogs remains open, despite the scandal hanging over the process. Votes close at the conclusion of the NRL Grand Final.

This is just terrible if true.

I'm speechless.....

[Professor]

Must have a bunch of fat, old, mysogynistic white guys running this place.

[Toviii]

I think this is being handled as well as it possibly can by the GH Academy, and I fully trust that the competency of the administration will see the matter brought to a swift conclusion.

Greenhouse HQ promises statement on Boogs scandal



After successfully evading reporters for two days, Greenhouse Academy president, greeneyed, was spotted at his favourite Sunday brunch spot at Manuka, south Canberra this morning.

He is under pressure to act in the Golden Boogs scandal, after this newspaper reported that doubts had emerged over the identity of one of the nominees for 2014 Newbie of the Year. It is thought that a long time member of The Greenhouse site has multiple identities, and has been mistaken as a new poster.

Reporters descended and greeneyed had to make his escape to the car park with assistance of police.

Amidst the chaos, greeneyed said: "We expect to make a statement soon. What I will say is the fans aren't justified in blaming the Academy for this. It's got bugger all to do with the Academy, that sort of thing. Now let me through before I stack on a blue. I'm just going to enjoy my Grand Final day."

The GH and the Boogs make the Logies look credible and relevant.

[reptar]

Nothing can do that

Official statement from The Greenhouse

Voting for the 2014 Golden Boogs Awards is now officially closed.

Unfortunately, it appears that investigations undertaken by The Greenhouse Academy, the organising committee of the Golden Boogs Awards, has discovered that one of the nominees for Newbie of the Year, gnocchi1, is one of a number of multiple accounts of a long standing poster. Therefore, votes for gnocchi1 are void, and gnocchi1 is disqualified from the Awards.

The Greenhouse Academy continues to actively investigate this situation, and The Greenhouse will not be making any further comment at this time.

[gangrenous]

Who is gnocchi then?!

[Begbie]

So who is gnocchi?

[RedRaider]

gnocchi1-gate? Well done to the 'deep throat' investigators who uncovered this fiendish plot. We can all sleep a little easier knowing they are on the job.
Now we await the unmasking of the perpetrator and the mandatory Senate inquiry.

[-PJ-]

Where is this gnocchi1 ?

Defend yourself man, stand up and be counted.

[gangrenous]

Presumably banned pending further investigation?

[gangrenous]

Clearly the blackest day in Australian forums.

I expect several 5 year bans backdated to 2009 to be handed down.

[VictorTheViking]

It was always rigged I tell ya

[gnocchi1]

I'm not sure what this is all about.
Sounds to me as if the GH administration are trying to drum up some controversy to lift ratings.

[FuiFui BradBrad]

Im gonna go out on a limb and declare GE is Gnocchi1.

It was only weeks ago he was questioning the relevance of the Boogs. I have reason to believe the GH Academy created Gnocchi1 last year as a device to drum up Boogs viewership.

This isnt the first time the Academy have tried such schemes. I can tell you about a time they tried to ruin my chances of a boogs by deleting an epic post I made in a sad effort to silence me.

For this I say shame on you GH Academy. Shame. On. You

[Schifty]

Funny how TR hasn't been seen since all this broke.

[FuiFui BradBrad]

Funny how TR hasn't been seen since all this broke.

Might also explain the Dubby disappearance. Sounds like this goes all the way to the top!

Greenhouse Academy tipped to impose further penalties as result of Boogs scandal



The Greenhouse Times understands that The Greenhouse Academy, the organising committee of the Golden Boogs Awards, is considering penalties for the long time poster who took a double identity and ended up with a nomination as Newbie of the Year.

In an official statement last night, The Greenhouse officially disqualified gnocchi1 from the Newbie of the Year for 2014.

There has been speculation since about the real identity of gnocchi1 - and gnocchi1 made his own statement denying all knowledge of the voting scandal.

GH HQ was closed today, due to a public holiday, and no further clarifications were forthcoming.

However a GH insider said the disqualification may not be the end of the saga.

"Some of the senior management at The Greenhouse are unhappy that there appears to have been a well planned hoax, designed to fool the whole GH community" the insider said, who refused to be named.

"This isn't the last we've heard of this. They're thinking about what penalties might be needed for the mastermind behind this."

NRL Gossip: Rumours of a Boogs scandal sweep The GH

We're hearing that there's quite a scandal brewing down Canberra way, among all the build up to the annual Golden Boogs Awards. Apparently one of the 'regular' posters has slipped a fake account into the voting for the 'Newbie' award. His chances of getting up? About 0.0%, apparently.

[T_R]

Funny how TR hasn't been seen since all this broke.

In Paris. Alarmed by the talk of a scandal, as per tradition I'm considering my options in French Rugby.

[Matt]

Clearly the blackest day in Australian forums.

I expect several 5 year bans backdated to 2009 to be handed down.

Meaning he can post again in about 4 weeks Love ASADA jokes.
