So looks like Smythe is running the show now, FAU continuing the noble SA tradition of departing mods appointing someone who is somehow worse than them as their replacement.

Yup, Smythe is actually worse than FAU. He's the IT guy for a broke theater group, if I recall, and prone to everything that entails.

Be glad it wasn't R. Guyovich.

FAU spotted in the 2nd skullmund thread. You would think he would lay low or log out for a week.

At this point I bet there is some type of off site place where a cabal of shit posters pull strings to run things. I bet smythe is some kinda puppet.

SynIRC server would be my guess, if it's not a secret discord. Know there is a shit-ton of goon associated stuff on that IRC server.

Stay tuned for Abe's comeback.

The knives are out for FYAD again. No good deed goes unpunished, Synthy.

Like most posters, I never "got" FYAD while I was there (and most of the superstar posters from there are now on "weird twitter", notably dril), but they do sometimes do a remarkable job of pointing and laughing at the worst goon behaviour, whether it be calling out bad moderation as in this case or just utter stupidity (such as the Treepunk thread or their ongoing monitoring of the drugs subforum). They're the last remnant of the 'old' SA, irreverent, transgressive, humour without boundaries.

No wonder the troon patrol want to get rid of them.

To be honest, I haven't visited the forums in months if not years, who's even posting there anymore and about what? ( I mean besides all the tranny faggot drama, obv.)

It's a continuously tightening circle of increasingly broken people. Like, for a while you had stupendously dramatic faggots in D&D, E/N, FYAD and GBS, all drama llama'ing away and purging the Wrongthinkers in their midsts, and then the rest of the subforums were all okay places to chat with knowledgeable people or read something interesting on the toilet. But now the drama faggots have run out of their own to eat, and are starting to bleed out into the other subforums to purge them. Can't post about games in Games any more, every thread is about the ideological failings of some developer or other. Oh shit don't enjoy Shootyman IX, the sound guy once called someone on twitter a faggot 8 years ago! Sport forums are all hand-wringing about athletes being horny morons and The Evils Of CTEs. Gun forum is fulla dudes spending paragraphs explaining how they're One Of The Good Ones, Honestly, Please Do Not Ban Me. The fucking gadget forum routinely derails because some geegaw or other isn't produced ethicallllyyyyy. Dissenting opinions are verboten, everything is either Objective Good or Objective Bad. On the off chance a poster is able to disagree with everyone AND somehow dodge the hammer, every dull faggot on the forum will goad them with faux chill weak irony until they eventually slip up.

Oh and at any time some random Discord or IRC channel might decide to brigade a forum, and you might instantly go from being tolerated to Wrong Side of History. And the increasingly broken and desperate moderation will basically go along with whichever clique they think is most popular, for fear of a QCS shitstorm costing them their meagre Interweb power.

It's kinda fun to watch. But mostly very sad.

With how stock this post is in terms of hypersensitivity, I'm surprised he didn't say the word "toxic" a single time while complaining about FYAD.

The worst example was watching the Landlord/Renting thread get invaded by the commie's from D&D and the admin staff doing absolute nothing about it except shutting the whole thread down. That was just completely pathetic.
