Noted autodidactic auteur Derek Smart (the mind behind Battlecruiser 3000 AD) is a Something Awful Goon.
This one is particularly notable because Derek Smart and Something Awful were once arch enemies. 16 years ago internet war was declared by goons and lawsuits threatened by Smart because Lowtax made fun of his spaceship video game.

These days Derek mods an SA forum entirely dedicated to making fun of some guys spaceship video game, so I'm calling that a win for Lowtax.

Gail was runoff because she refused to follow SA posting rules. She would not stop signing her goddamned posts. Then Sgt Rock burned some of her comics in his sink.

Warren hosed up his password reset (I'm friends with the Goon who paid for the original account) and rather than sort it out he wrote off SA as "too super-heroy."

Goons like to believe she was run off because goons were creepily niceguyish towards her but actually she just didn't like the forums all that much and was more annoyed by goons apologizing to her about what they thought other goons did than anything that happened when she actually posted here.

She was mostly just bored. She's actually complained a lot more about goony white knights tripping over themselves trying to apologize for whatever imagined slights drove her from the site in the first place.

What I'm saying is that you're inextricably linked to Caro now and should give him the common courtesy reach around since your misreporting may have cost him a few extra months/years in a torture camp. But you're the expert.
drat this is an outrageous series of owns and the lack of a mod sass beef is pretty telling (that brown moses is manifestly irresponsible and contributed to caro's literal torture by

She actually didn't complain about that either really, she really has better loving things to do and doesn't care about us here.

He wasn't. Caro is a crazy person who started contacting BM before he became a war tourist and would have gone to Libya and Syria regardless. Some goons just like to dump on BM cause they're crabs in a bucket.

Also some of them are tankies for Assad tbh but that's more in D&D.

Thanks, I'm flattered.
Have not read all 84 pages, but this reminded me of the awfulyearbook. It was hugely popular over night and I feel like at one point a big chunk of the form (maybe 30% or so? at the moment 15% of goons have accounts on there still) was actually on there. Just went there and it appears to be exactly the same as it as 10 years ago, left untouched.

If you're a US citizen then theres a good chance your SSN has been used before as well. Just think, some other person had something you probably guard more than your name. Thats super weird.

I don't think finding out a guy is in the most notorious torture prison in the world, hearing nothing about him for years and coming to the "he's probably dead" conclusion is something to be pissed at someone for. Who the hell wouldn't have come to that conclusion? It's not like BM personally signed his death certificate and folded a Syrian rebel flag to deliver to his parents

To be fair, I totally underestimated the fact that Caro is utterly indestructible and unstoppable. The Syrian rebels should have welcomed him with open arms, given him an AK and pointed him in the general direction of Assad.

I was on there for a while when it felt like it was a bunch of goons goofing on each other's photos, like a more good-natured Helldump. After a year or so, it seemed like it was full of people who didn't actually post anywhere on the forums, and dudes being real creepy.

And one of the biggest creeps on any girls that left a photo was a mod (Loosechanj). I think he ended up getting banned for it.

Apparently he wasn't banned for a long time since lowtax didn't see the pic he commented on for awhile. He was just a poster at that point though. I wonder what got him demodded.
