I thought this was sagas not just some sad "goon is creep" poo poo. See this is what you get with selfies. Next you start listening to hip-hop and then BAM you start fornicating with kitchen appliances. As the prophecy foretold.

No you're right, this is truly an ongoing saga though. The legend of Ozma being fat is just like Literally A Bird's neverending saga of being hit on by hapless online weirdos. It doesn't hurt that her username is a perfect icebreaker for the bird-loving kind of person. How about we let this all slide like water off a duck's back and flock off a bit - take it back to the PYF selfies thread where it came from.

I personally agree, but people have joined SA for a bunch of different reasons, and the site has changed a lot since 1999 or whenever, too.

Like, those of us who signed up because of stuff like Awful Link of the Day and Weekend Web, probably tend to find it ridiculous how serious some people get about discussing politics on a comedy site, or think that people are wildly over-sharing personal life details and information in e/n & across the forums, but there really is a bunch of long-standing SA communities and resources, that are genuinely meaningful and helpful to people, and are largely, if not completely removed from the context of SA being a comedy site.

Honestly goons don't hit on me too often -- or at least not where I can see it. It used to happen, but at this point I've been around long enough that most people just sort of go "yeah, that sure is a goonette" and move on. People are usually more concerned with what I do or don't mod than what I look like.

The selfie thread basically exists to churn out positive affirmation, but the guy goons that post get just as many compliments as the girls do. :)

But on the subject of sagas, would someone mind explaining :geno:? I've gathered it has to do with the old Habbo Hotel invasions, but that's the entire extent of my knowledge.

The short version:

quote:

An imaginary cult, the result of a hoax-like collaboration of many different goons.

Geno members followed 'The Path', a nebulous spiritual doctrine that had Geno members (all nameless, identified by numbers) shaving their heads and dressing in gray, like depressed monks. Uniformity and the dissolution of identity were all key characteristics of Geno.

Several forumgoers invaded online games and setups like Habbo Hotel with Geno characters, irritating the poo poo out of everyone. At one point, the Geno meme had its own forum and dedicated section of the main SomethingAwful site. As with all forum crazes, it passed into disuse.

What still stands out about the Geno is its familiarity. What makes the Geno annoying and appealing is, we can imagine a cult just like this existing in the real world.

The Path is gray.

While I don't go around advertising it, I have and will continue to admit to being a goon, I keep my username private. I have however posted my picture in the selfie thread. Which happens to be the same picture I use for other things.

It's rather entertaining seeing gears grind in folk's heads when they obviously know who I am, on this site, but they are not willing to give away that they are also a goon.

In my opinion, this site is labeled as a comedy site, foul, black, pitch, gallows humor, but comedy. Not everyone likes Carlin. Or Jeff Ross. Or Anthony Jeselnik. So, when someone is offended by my sense of humor, it is in essence, the assholes removing themselves from my real life. Which is the biggest blessing this site has ever given me.
