Yeah but if you look at what sites are considered "relevant" we should count ourselves lucky not to be lumped in with that garbage.

Good point. And the sites that are considered relevant nowadays will die off before this site, probably.

You guys are super dumb if you think SA is going to fold before Reddit does.

SA so far has outlived Fark, Digg and other than useless filler Reddit is already in the decline because it's hit that critical mass where any subreddit that's at all worth reading gets destroyed by haha me too gimmic posts and countless lovely picture posts.

This dead gay forum is going to be still chugging along when Reddit goes tits up and then whatever replaces it will still occasionally generate a 'LOL SA is old and irrelevant' thread.

I feel like at some point "old" stuff is always considered irrelevant even when it's not.

This forum's gonna outlive everything.

I just wanna say that ASWBM's thread about making a video game is a pretty good example of quality, hilarious shitposting by multiple goons that never would have been allowed in old GBS. I literally laughed out loud at least 4 or 5 times reading that thread.

oh poo poo! I didn't know that! tbh I've never really bothered to learn that much about him, I just remember this site and all the cool stuff on it and how neat I thought it was that it was like a whole group of people devoted to free web entertainment just for the gently caress of it. That's cool, tho, I know some people that went there!

1. presence/visibility - you seem to disappear a lot, though maybe im just missing you posting elsewhere. but, it gives the impression that no one is in change, particularly with you look at the poo poo some of the moderators/admins stir up. i do not understand how ralp was a mod for so long, for example. reward good mods, like aswbm and genesplicer, with a tshirt or Christmas sweater imo

2. your products are stale - there's been no innovation or adaptability in your revenue stream. offer a random sale for avatars and emoticons or something that doesn't hinge on banning people, or think of new ways to offer your products (i.e. ban proof for 3 strikes registration via a monthly $5 fee. strikes reset annually.)

Glasgow Kiss: Dec 12, 2007; Oh, put that thing away, Samurai. We all know what's going to happen. You'll swing your sword, I'll fly away, and probably say something like, "I'll be back, Samurai!" And then I'll flutter over the horizon and we probably won't see each for... about a week. And then we'll do the same thing again.

SA is like the little hole in the wall pub where everybody knows each other and is kinda hosed up, so they hang out there everyday.

Except with less liver damage and more autism.
