It's going to pay off eventually--I'm sure of it.

Any day now.

CrashScreen posted:

Something-Waffle's a full out SA replacement so it's worth keeping an eye on, but for all the people saying they're moving to LP-Zone I'm not seeing an actual change in its activity since before this happened. B&R is the only other one worth salt atm, but people are concerned about the c-spam...err...ness? of it.

We'll see what happens but the last announcement isn't confidence inspiring.

I've been on the Discord for LP Beach, and while I'm not exactly reading/watching every LP on the forum most of the posters I recognize have at least been in the Discord, so for the time being it feels to me like the most likely destination. It also has the LP forum mods behind it, so it'll probably get a sticky on here for whatever that's worth. For me I'll follow wherever the bulk of the content goes, as long as it's not B&R. Do I want the US to move in a democratic socialist direction? Yes. Do I feel the need to make sure that my video game posts are praxis and be surrounded by arguments over whether, e.g. anarchists are useful allies of the coming socialist revolution? Not really, so CSPAM's migration is probably not the site for me.

Edit: yep, go read the new announcement. Lowtax might be out! Maybe we can stay after all. (assuming, of course, that this plan works its way through to "legally official". Keep working on the LP Beach code in the mean time.)

Yeah, the momentum feels pretty good and I'm confident something will come from LP Beach. It's in a better place than LPZone was imo, but this is all pending what the staff solution is. I'm throwing my support behind LP Beach either way, not that it amounts to much from me. It seems the most sensible alternative though.

Or don't because the image is creepy and I can quote it.

I, Jeffrey of YOSPOS, have reached an agreement with Lowtax to transfer all Something Awful LLC assets to me. No contract has been signed yet but these things take time and I want to make this announcement now. Obviously, if this falls through, you all will hear it straight from me.

Lowtax asked me to make clear that this is not an admission of any guilt. He maintains his innocence. However, he recognizes that the site cannot continue with him in charge, and the community and site are more important than his name.

This has been one of the most stressful and sad ~72 hours of my forums life and I'm sure everyone has a million questions and I'll plan on discussing this with the community tonight, after taking a few hours to catch my breath. Please don't burn down the whole site yet - we can get through this as a community.

This site has been extremely important to me since I joined 15 years ago. I love this place more than anything and, and top of everything else, the idea of it just going away was heartbreaking to me. My promise to all of you is that I love something awful as something awful, and my intention is to preserve all of the things that make this site incredible. This will be something awful, at its best, not any sort of weird vision of what something awful should be

It has been a while for me, was kind of nice to see an announcement accompanied by that picture. Even the wedding ring was a bit nostalgic.

Yeah, I don't know if that's some kind of a tradition in some other parts of the forum but seeing that image with the announcement did nothing to make me want to stay.

I can't even muster up more than mild irritation at goatse anymore. That obliterated rear end in a top hat has been popping up unexpectedly for decades now.

I wasn't a fan of the image in the announcement (it made me wonder if the entire thing was just a prank and the image the punchline), but my browser window was low enough on my screen that I managed to avoid it this time.

I was watching the GBS thread to closely that day for the goatman to affect me

its an incredibly dumb thing to put in a sitewide official announcement, but I'll take a dumbass idiot webmaster over a wifebeating one.

It still is! I missed seeing it on the announcement due to an expertly timed bout of competence from my ISP. I wonder if I still have any luck to spare.


No, this is not an invitation to post it here.

People with degenerative disc can stand up. It's painful and limits range of motion in the neck, and generally improves with movement and exercise.

Most goons upon seeing the goatman reflexively feel a soothing relaxation. Jeffrey was trying to put us all at ease.

Honestly, I was comforted by having an old friend pop in to visit. I knew things would be alright. If the goat man can still distend his bottomless anus for all to witness, despite the current state of the world, perhaps we can all find it within ourselves to distend the anuses in our hearts and prepare to receive one another’s large insertions of love.
