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

[repentance]

Taxman's first wife was from Kansas and went crazy christian. He'd sleep at the SA offices any time she had bible study at their house, which is when some goon showed up at 3am and took photos of Lowtax sleeping on a couch after letting himself in to the office.

Yeah, his Asian-American wife seems to have been batshit just like Integral was batshit. When Lowtax and Lady Ambien split, Lowtax will probably make a ton of posts about how crazy she was. He seems to love using his forums as a form of divorce therapy.

Somewhere, at some point, you know some SJW tabletop dm has forced his players to put up with this being a story mechanic.

Oh so you've seen the dungeons and dragons play by post forum on SA I see.

Probably really fucking autistic of me but question for people who were dumb enough to pay $10 to be repeatedly fucked over, after handing over your payment info and getting the account is there any legally binding terms of service you have to agree to? Like, you literally have to hit a check box or whatever to signify that you agree to the terms of usage of the site before payment is actually processed?

as a semi-notorious hellthreader, the cost of making lowtax cranky and having him turn my CC info over to troon platoon sounds like it could be much higher than the tenbux I already paid him so imma let him keep it as he prolly needs it a lot more than I do lol

Tips from a goon about posting in D&D:

1. Don't
2. Get shitfaced
3. Go to C-SPAM instead

cspam is where the mods remind you constantly they're not DND then probe/ban you for the exact same wrongthink

the entire site in 2017 is a hyperprogressive hugbox and the only legit laughs to be had there in years were from watching the realtime sadbrains meltdowns in DND as trump was elected with many breathless PLS DONT KILL U R SELFS etc

now that 8 years of trump is upon us SA mods are only gonna build those hugbox walls 10 feet higher so there's never been a better time to leave and not look back, RIP in peace dead gay forums

Not a joke. Literally a post that they felt had to be made.

Yeah, there is a reason that all of the positive / funny stuff about SA in this thread is 10-20 year old nostalgia.

There is no reason fighting through the comedy trenches trying to find the limited, unfunny, borderline spam horseshit that doesn't offend the mods because they are offended by everything.

holy shit

why is this in their political shitposting forum

Because Trump won.

 

[TrapOrDie]

Because it's not really a political shit posting forum just like LF started out as a joke and then it was just unironic marxism. Speaking of marxism you guys pulling dox should take a look at the anti-colonialism thread that got locked and maybe gassed. I'm sure the CIA would actually love to have the info about people who unironically are cheering for North Korea, various terrorist organizations, etc, etc.

Gensplicer belted out a probation for using the work "norks" then when someone asked if they could use the word "norks" they got a probation for it.

If they felt that way when Trump won they should have kill themselves.

 

[Shrangus]

One of KM's first probations she gave out was probating someone because she had misread their post and jumped to the conclusion that the poster was racistly differentiating white women from black and trans women. Turned out the poster was referring to activist and non-activist women. And was also black. Great job fighting racism there, KM.

Unfortunately like more mainstream threats to emigrate it's an empty promise

Outside of Games, which has seemingly only been affected by things badly by way of not being able to discuss GG(because it apparently turns everyone into raging idiots, and is also a site-wide rule), the site has largely become unfunny and uninteresting. Hellthread was grand, and there have been some good threads that have lasted, but the trend of shuffling off really popular GBS discussion threads into other subforums, whether stuff like hellthread being shuffled off to BYOB(and wherever it was before that) die or things like the liberal tears thread being thrown into D&D/C-SPAM, has meant that GBS feels fucking anemic.

All GBS seems to be filled with nowadays, for the most part, is deliberately bad threads that the mostly same posters shit up even if they're salvageable, and the anti-effortpost sentiment that is prevalent among the regulars means that threads with shit OPs that can spur reasonable discussion never get a chance to, and GBS seems doomed to mostly remain a circlejerky version of /b/.

It's great that people are able to shitpost, but the compulsion to do nothing but shitpost and a general disincentivising of discussion in GBS in favour of the hugbox hellscape that is D&D is a sitewide hindrance to discussion.

The people chill enough to not have a meltdown when hearing something they disagree with can't help but treat GBS like fyad-lite, and the custodians of the designated discussion forum ban/probate people that don't toe the line on basically any controversial issue, or in the case of hugbox threads for triggering other posters.

I had hopes for a revitalised SA when I saw LA's thread, now I'm not sure, but I'm still hoping Lowtax can deal with whatever the staff situation is and get on with unfucking the site.

We're gonna get the LF treatment. Everyone in GBS has seen that coming for a long time.

The vanished threads which return will have been sanitised.

Does anyone remember how they'd sanitize the anime forum once in awhile? Someone would point out that there was a bunch of pedophilia stuff going on in the anime forum. They'd hide the threads, delete the pro-pedo posts, then re-instate it without banning any of the pedos.

Maybe they cleaned it up after Zorak left but that was the creepiest place on the forums for awhile.
