you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

I dont remember but im 99% sure the thread was called "i expect to be mocked but can i hide fyads title somehow", some dude showed me how to with adblock and then it was a pile on like it is here

Ill admit i stirred poo poo a bit and it wasnt till i called lowtax a manchild that he gave me the title but enough about the spoilers, you dudes are missing the point despite several people who arent me pointing it out to you.

lol yeah i remember that thread now. you got super serious and santimonious about FYAD's title being "Han Dies" and then sassed the loving king-owner of the site and all that happened was you got made fun of and he gave you a punny title mocking you

how the gently caress do you not understand why you were the butt of so much mockery?? I Have A Serious And Reasoned Opinion I Demand Be Heard Regarding The Spoilering Of Star Wars By An Internet Subforum like what the actual gently caress dude

e: I guess Leverage has more deaths than White Collar but they generally use them to set up a particularly deplorable villain

Not being bigoted became cool and then it got hijacked by special snowflake oneupmanship. Now demisexual genderqueer is a srs bizness identity on parts of the Internet. Somewhere in the middle of that process SA got tired of that poo poo and :sever:ed.

I enjoyed the ride. I can understand why people who jumped ship during the sjw bonanza and never looked back still assume the forums are that way.

I think that's a rough approximation.

I always like your posts. :)

And to Lowtax: It was front page content that got me reading this site about fourteen years ago. You shouldn't lose heart - after all, like you said there were plenty of naysayers the entire time. You not only have the site which produces good and funny content, you produced a good deal of it yourself and got to present some very talented people to a larger audience. You give us a place where we connect, and despite the low-effort posters and the trolls in general, the society is a net gain for all involved. Hell, if the place wasn't vibrant, there would be no trolls since they need fresh meat to live.

So when people say that tired cliche "dead gay forums", I either assume a) it's a clever catchphrase to ward off potential shitposters and steer them off towards poo poo sites like reddit or b) it's dumb assholes who just want to be edgy and nihilistic as possible (you know who you are).

SA is great. Loved it for almost half my life. Still read the front page. Love you guys dearly. Peace.

This is a good post. Also a bunch of retards posted a thread in CC four years ago and change and now we have four million words of fiction, couldn't have happened anywhere else IMO.

This isn't nostalgia about "The good old days" or anything but I think that given enough time we built up a larger and larger userbase of robocops. So it isn't exactly that people are just now getting pissy it's that enough people with a predisposition to being pissy have gathered in one place and we start hitting peak bitch. 2013 was the worst though, this is nowhere close, back then the entire forum had a predisposition toward the robocop narrative while punishing people for actually being funny or contributing content if the shrieking, thin skinned children were morally outraged by their jokes and/or content.

lately it is more just arguing and people calling them out while they cry about the state of the forums, trying to attach their own pissbaby reasons onto Lowtax's concerns of flagging membership. "It isn't that the site hasn't changed in almost two decades, offers no merchandise and is relatively stagnant its that things that I personally don't like happen here so that's why Lowtax is having problems! People are mean and drive people like me away!"

People being ironic turbo leftists in LF and then other people actually thought they were serious and adopted their dumb stances for real. Sort of like how ironic racism attracts real racists on the chans.
