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

So how long until this website goes the way of Yahoo Answers then?

KF will close shop before SA finishes circling its drain

Those brokebrain trannies have nowhere else to go and Jeff would cling to his petty fiefdom even as the Earth gets enveloped by the Sun going red giant billions of years into the future. He will never be as cool anywhere else as he is at Something Awful. Think about how sad that is.

Back six or seven years ago, I thought, "What will Something Sensitive look like after SA shuts down?" LOL

Something Awful will never shut down. There will be at least a few dozen troons on there generating at least a few hundred dollar a month for ads and avatar changes until the heat death of the universe.

I disagree. They're bleeding people very, very slowly but eventually they'll be insolvent. It might take another few years to a decade as the troons kill themselves off, but it will happen.

I know its pathetic but I look forward to seeing how it plays out.

The only thing of value I see in SA beside the terminally invested in it, is as a source of grifting. Lowtax was the grift king of the goons with that patreon.

The Troons, KM, FAU, ZDR all had their blow up, and then the nuke of Logan to outs richard.

As long as jeff has a real job, and the site enough traffic to pay hosting and the store purchases it will just slowy bleed off

It's hard to keep a profitable business model when 61% of your userbase kills itself before you can charge them more.

Jeff didn't buy it to make a profit. Jeff bought it because he's a loser whose life revolves around SA.

This. He just bought it to have friends. Now those "friends" are ree-ing for his blood because you can never please woketards or trannies.

Yeah, there’s always going to be someone who will sink the money into SA to “keep it alive”, I can see that place circling the drain for another 10-20 years.

Just imagine 60-70 year old geriatrics paying money to keep SA afloat because they remember the good old days of web 1.0 when they were in their 20s.

 

[Dick Justice]

Everyone saying "eventually it'll die" should remember that in the long run we're all dead.

E: To future archaeologists: Hi! We lived! And we enjoyed shitposting and being mad at a dead gay comedy forum!

And it only gets cheaper to maintain as less people show up. Jeffery doesn't need SA to be profitable just barely breaking even.

SA actually is profitable though, if I remember from the numbers that had been posted.

It was earning 3x its running costs, an overage about 4K a month, and that's before you factor in the patreon.
if you moved the code base to something less horriffic you could probably get costs down even further.

4K/mp should have been enough to support a middle-aged worthless pill head, but it wasn't.

Pillflation is real, dawg

Hilariously, this is the one thing that I think could and would kill SA. If you moved to a modern web forum, half the users would quit. They actually LOVE their Web 2.0 Radium jankfest with broke-as-fuck code and load bearing slurs.

I disagree, all you need to do is skin the same colors and themes, hid all the modern features, or better yet hack the features like give goons the ability to vote people into goon jail

That one's quite lovely. It's nice to see the goon perspective on DMX's history.

Lil Swamp Booger Baby is the first to say that DMX deserved it.

Dandywalken piles on, highly concerned about children being exposed to such terrible opinions in rap lyrics. That hip-hop stuff is corrupting America's youth!

Caesar Saladin makes sure everybody knows just how much of a little bitch he is.

And Torquemada knows that DMX's lyrics about gays make him as evil as Rush Limbaugh.

Schweinhund is a case example in why SA could benefit from stickers. You see shit like that and you reflexively reach for the rainbow.

To paraphrase Ambrose Bierce: "NIGGER, n. A black man who expresses disapproval of homosexual behavior."

Goons oversharing are one of the best things about browsing SA.

Guys did you know DMX said mean things about gay people? Guys did you know DMX said mean things about gay people?

And finally, HugeGrossBurrito gases the thread because people were posting about DMX and threatens to probe anyone else making a memorial thread about DMX.

thank you for pulling quotes

SA mod shielding a dead homophobe....how od

 

[retard strength]

Goons, a bunch of nerdy white leftists, trying really hard to like rap and seem thug to impress blacks, while also woke and against homotransphobia. A balancing act.
