The heyday of this forum was goons posting actual sick burns against each other and it was glorious. What we have now is but a pale shadow, where someone posting 'lol you care about a topic' is about as heady as it gets.

Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.


I've been with SA for five years and it is easily the best site I know of. Even now, with GBS at its lowest point in years, it is still magnitudes better than any other site I have seen.

I do miss the better days of GBS back in 2012 or whatever when threads required a minimum level of effort. I still retain the good posting habits that I learned from back then. My posts are now only slightly garbage.

Sorry but I believe you mean the worst days of RSS News Feed GBS when every thread was full of [citation needed] effort posts and moral outrage at anyone trying to make jokes.

I actually haven't watched past the first 4 or 5 episodes of the first season and so I am very angry about theses spoilers and also confused because I don't know what half of it means

I agree that it was a bit too formal. The good parts that I remember was people would have to do more than say "same" or "lmao" if they posted, and the OP needed more than five words to start a thread.

:shrug: it's possible to have good times in that environment, i would just get lectured on apartheid for making an ebola joke or something and unironically called "Classless" and lectured on the wage gap because a thread about women fighting was "glorifying violence against women"

I think a lot of people have forgotten or are conveniently ignoring that a spoiler was in the name of a forum. You would have had to ignore the forums entirely to miss that one, because it was visible on the forums index. That goes a step further than a GBS thread that had a new title every week or being upset that a Game of Thrones thread had *gasp* untagged spoilers.

It's pretty cool because people would constantly tell me SA was successful despite me, not because of me, and so I distanced myself from it and here we are. There's no sense of "community" anymore, there's no sense of pride anymore, and it makes me kinda sad because in the first few years of its creation, people would make friends, show effort, and actually be proud the content on these forums they created was the best out there. Now effort is viewed as a bad thing, saying anything positive about the forums is a bad thing, being associated with other goons is a bad thing, etc etc.

I dunno, maybe its because this site is approaching its 17th anniversary and communities aren't designed or able to last that long on the internet, and the "newness / difference" feeling has faded away long ago, but drastic changes are going to be made around here to try to bring some sense of this all back.

If you can express yourself in a concise manner, that's good.

you can look back at the kind of content SA was making ten years ago by looking at photoshop phriday and the comedy goldmine columns

The site wasn't really constantly flirting with moral outrage most of the time, it was making motivational posters for super villains or photoshopping abnormal animals - that's it. I'm pretty sure that kind of content wouldn't bother even the most Ess of today's Jay Double Us. Sure there was the odd submission did something like change the title of a cowboy comic with a woman being carried off on its cover to drat Indians stole our pussy but that was a minority. A while back there was was a nostalgia thread on GBS and I put up some olde SA pics of the kind of that wouldn't get posted anymore and nobody found them funny ten years later. Maybe it's okay to be critiqued if the user base's tastes have changed.
