Bigot Brigade Something Awful and Friends - The roller-coaster train-wreck embarrassing downfall of a Web 1.0 giant and its tick offspring like from Cloverfield

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I feel disturbed that you've been a member for 15 years and still are, despite the fact you don't enjoy it. I don't care if you believe SA is a secret cabal of child porn and SJWs (I don't know how that would work but whatever), I just don't understand why, if you don't like a website, you don't just stop visiting it instead of running a forum dedicated to saying how bad it is.

I mean i know I'm in the minority here because I'm posting on a forum dedicated to hating shit, but my first reaction to a website that stops entertaining me or changes for the worst, is to remove it from my bookmarks and not visit it again. I honestly am not capable of understanding the whole rationale behind "I hate this website and by god I'm going to keep reading it and talking about how much I don't like it for decades."

Like I get making fun of me, Ambien, mangosteen, mail order bride, all that jazz, but I can't understand this deep seated and incredibly long lasting hate. Maybe it's because I'm old and have three kids and priorities change as you grow older, but I don't understand what benefit you receive from immersing yourself in an environment you do not like, and subsequently complaining about this environment you voluntarily chose to enter. What's the end goal here?

Lowtax, I've enjoyed Something Awful for years, but some of the moderators are, well, something awful, as are quite a few posters. It unfortunately seems that the forum is slowly dying. Will you pull the plug any time soon, or do you have other big plans ahead? Whatever you do, remember, Shmorky is far, far away and that's all that matters.

Throughout the forums entire, and I do mean entire, history, people have always complained about nearly every mod. After a while, it just simply became white noise to me, because I was so used to hearing the moderation sucks and nobody can do their job and everything is wrong, that when there was a legit bad mod, I'd just assume people were exaggerating once again and crying wolf.
 
Do you plan to revitalize SA in the near future @Lowtax?

Yeah, I've been wanting to for years now, but the creative spark I originally had back around 1999 is very difficult for me to find. Plus I have a wife, three kids, four dogs, and an ex-wife, so I don't really have the freedom of waking up at 2:00 AM and writing because a certain idea popped into my head. It's very frustrating.

Seriously, it took a literal convicted child molester to get you to even notice? And even then, that guy only slightly stood out from the rest of the worthless fuckers?

So basically your best years are long behind you and you can look forward to nothing more than an inevitable long, slow slide into mediocrity followed by dementia and then death?

There's no point in me trying to explain anything to you because you've already made up your mind about how things are, how things happened, and what kind of a person I am. So sure, all those things you just said are completely true and what I actually meant to originally write.

Can you please explain to me what any of this shit you're writing has to do with shmorky? I thought the thread title implied it was a thread about shmorky, not SA forum mods and my eventual death. But I guess you know better than me what type of content goes where, since you're a mod and all, and not a worthless fucker mod like the ones on my forum. You're one of the good mods, the ones who do all the right things all the time and knows how everything works.
 
@Lowtax, people just want to talk to you and they see you responding in this thread a lot, so they come here.

And ignore @AnOminous, he's being a major a log right now.

But shouldn't he know, as a moderator, how not to act like a complete fuckup and follow his own forum rules? I mean, dude clearly knows how SA mods should act and the "correct" way to mod a forum since he's clearly a professional mod and has read all the books on how to mod a forum. For somebody complaining about another forum's mods, he sure seems like a hypocritical little whiny bitch who can't even shut his mouth about offtopic shit in the wrong thread. Are you just salty because Aatrek fucked you as a babysitter?

My mind is not made up at all. You have every opportunity to speak and my mind is fucking open as hell to one of my old Internet heroes. Seriously. That is such bullshit.

Oh, it has nothing to do with Shmorky, other than that Shmorky and his degeneration into absolute insanity went on on your watch and you only recently cut this absolutely crazy person loose. You might not have noticed it, but we tend to go a bit off topic here. From time to time.

But seriously, you have this weird idea that we hate you here. We don't.

I just want to know why somewhere that used to be the source of all that was hilarious on the Internet turned into what it is now.

I understand why you would want to avoid that question. It must carry some personal pain for you.

But seriously, you owe the world you helped make some explanation.
 
I really hope you're kidding even using that phrase. Nobody could use it unironically.

I mean, least of all, Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka. I might not see eye to eye with you chucklefucks at Kiwifarms, but I'm going to bet you haven't had any mods that did time for touching 8 year old girl's as mods, while also serving the sentence for the crime. Or guess which forum had a mod that was writing underaged "The Sims" porn. How the fuck do you even come up with that anyway?

Bro you're operating on the same level as a user named doctor jizzmopper who can't help but autistically demand his ten dollars back every time he posts, Keep going at it if you really want but it might be time to take a breathe ya know?
