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

It's OK, you asked the person who did and screen shotted it, that's all the proof we need from you that it never ever happened. Bigger question is why are you still talking to someone that did some really fucked up shit to a god damned minor.
What, you?
 
Well maybe it shouldn't have become white noise. You've become "house blind"--you need to step back and look at what kind of community you've got. Sure, a lot of people will rebel against any and all authority. But you did have some shitty mods from the beginning. Dude, I was there for Rainbow Blight and fucking Al. From the very beginning you seem to have a "set it and forget it" goal with managing SA. When shit goes bad, you step in, make some wacky zany posts, engage with the forums, then you appoint a new administration and delegate out everything while you write comedy, make electronic music, go grocery shopping, raise your kids, or whatever.

Time and time again we had "new management" in the forum of Rainbow and her gang, Zach Parsons and Fistgrrl, Fragmaster, Ozma, Ralp, and now Zen Death Robot. These guys run the place with little to sometimes zero input from you (once I recall Ozma bitching she couldn't get in contact with you at all). They appoint other admins, who in turn appoint other mods, and set the tone. And often the tone is shitty. Arbitrary bannings, cults of personality inside subforums, bannings for politics and capitalization, etc. Every time we doxxed one of your mods and admins, we laid out WHY we did it. And we never doxxed the ones that were good. We presented all the horrible shit they did to wreck YOUR community. Take out the lurid stuff we threw out there about their personal lives and there was always a solid case as to why they were shitty mods. I know we're a "NO CLICK ZONE, SORRY" but I'd be more than happy to post some TLDR highlights here.

My tiny 2500 person forum takes up a few hours of my day every day, and I have a full time job that's way more than 40 hours a week. SA is your livelihood. Managing it and shepherding the community should be at least a 40 hour a week job for you. Ofc it's too big for one person to get a handle on, but you should overall know what's going on, put good people in charge, closely monitor them and be responsive. You should be posting and active and set the tone.

You're still making stupid amounts of cash from new users, if the numbers are correct that we can see, plus reregs and titles and shit--it would make some Gen Y on a Pateron jealous. But it won't last forever if you don't do something to stop the forums from dying. You have a huge legacy--a lot of sites on the internet wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you including places like 4 chan and probably here. I'd say a lot of what you see on Reddit and other places owes a debt to SA. And there's good news--there's way stupider stuff now online to mock than in 2000. More than ever. Of course, you'd have to have the balls to hurt some feels to do so.

Words about a forum
 
Jesus Christ what is wrong with your brain

Look, Richard, I know this might come as a surprise to you, but I wonder what is wrong with your brain. You surround yourself with some rather sick people and think you have the right to question others? You still talk to Caylen for fuck's sake, that's messed up, dude is mentally unsound. You worked with and allowed a fucking diaperfur to watch your kids. You've had many bad mods and admins over the years, including one that was a mod, while in jail for raping a 8 year old girl.

What the fuck is wrong with your brain?

Says the man who's entire livelihood comes from running one.

It's pretty sad that we spend more time thinking about SA's future than you, the guy who eats only if it exists.
