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 never really understood SAs anti-offsite stance, and really anti-any-other-forum stance. Like is there a rule that you are only allowed to post on SA and no other sites or something?

Offsite drama is a pain in the ass but all you need is a rule against importing drama from offsite. You don't need to ban any mention of spin-off forums and it's often counter-productive to try.

The TGRS posters have more in common with Hitler, except that they hate themselves too. jfc, they are entirely miserable people.

Its not like they can actually enforce it unless you let them know. I mean my SA account is still up and running and they've never figured out who I am.

Same here. My username is Bradzilla

Even he says troons get a free hotline to the mods for what everyone else instantly gets banned for.

I love the qualifier of "Especially while I'm at work." He can't risk the troons feeding off each other's rage and getting completely out of control.

Also, what the fuck is that tie? Is that a Touhou tie?

A Lone Flyer Girl is twisting words around like someone else is a problem instead of chilling the fuck out with the accusatory shit.

This makes me wonder what it's from every time I see it.

Historically I've censored URLs to splinter sites and banned people for soliciting them. My perspective is that I am happy to try and accommodate feedback, but if there's irreconcilable differences you don't get to split the community.

Usually with splinters, what's actually happening is someone wants power who doesn't have it and their goal to acquire that is their own site. That's why every cycle in SA's drama involves cycling out staff, and why the trannies constantly are vying to load the dice by getting their guys in staff and remove ones they don't like. It's weird game of thrones, crusader kings forum drama.

I was thinking about why the forum mostly avoids this and it's hard to say. I do tend to go hard on people trying to splinter the site, but the site is also a unique service. You literally cannot just make your own unless you're willing to suffer a lot of shit, and even then you're missing years of content you just can't replace.

What makes SA a unique service? From what I've read, the people there like it there because the moderation caters to them. So when it doesn't, the only options are to get staff replaced or to splinter.

There’s nothing unique about SA. It’s just filled with people that have been using it since its inception and can’t quit.

Well some people refuse to move on from dead websites. Myspace is still around despite it being a dead website as well.

Presumably because Lowtax didn't want people to realize there are sites you dont need to pay for.

To play Devil's Advocate, there's not really a lot of old style forums around. There's what, Resetera or neogaf or...? Here?

Reddit's not really conductive to a sense of community and I mean, I have fun on KF laughing at cows and all but I'm definitely not here to make friends.

There hasn't been a sense of community on SA for a long time. The individual subs, and even a lot of threads, are very insular.

The thing about forums is that they're kinda of a critically endangered species now. They used to be more prevalent before Web 2.0 came into the scene and it's because back then the Internet was limited to things such as AOL Instant Messenger and forums. Today, social media and other online platforms in this day and age has mostly replaced forums. The only forums I see now are stuff related to auto repair, coding, tech support, and very niche interests such as the case of Kiwi Farms where lolcows are made fun of.

The Internet has changed a lot and forums these days are just obsolete when you can now go elsewhere to talk about stuff and you don't need to sign up for a forum in this day and age anymore.

Now again, there's still some value for forums because they serve a purpose to fill in very niche interests online but websites such as Something Awful are just a Dodo that refuses to adapt into today's online environment.

And so in conclusion, it's either you adapt or you just die off and that will be the end of that.

So there you have it.

More drama in QCS.

I wonder if FYAD and the troons could reconcile their differences with something they both enjoyed, like a good ol' fashioned lynching.

I feel like social media and forums serve different functions, since social media tends to have real names attached to it and not facilitate long term conversations very well.

I don't think forums were ever really that popular in the grand scheme of things, since the internet was more niche overall back in those days.

Either way if you want something like that there's not a lot of places to find it anymore.

Man this thread really is the bleak depressing emotional essence of what being a reactionary is all about. It speaks volumes most people who were successful in old racist elitist frat fyad couldn't go to twitter because they were unable to adjust to making funny content for a different audience because the truth is with some exceptions like Ingwit posts it sucked and there's funnier content now. So what we have here are middle aged, unfunny conservatives who equate "comedy" with being able to say slurs and bully people and say creepy things to women. Not only that but you sound like deranged Boomers yearning for an insular, parasocial situation from 15 years ago you were never even clever enough to be included in to begin with.

It sucks because I've always thought lowtax was probs scum and it would be funny to see him get comeuppance but anything about it on the internet is just a dozen of the world's saddest old nerds screeching about trans people and grating moron lingo that would immediately make any normal person not care.

no one cares or gives a fuck.
