Shindragon posted:The funny thing is and maybe I"m in the minority because I don't know the general consesus but I feel SA's Game threads are the least console warrior poo poo in random game forums I been too. this. Goons are pretty chill and funny/clever for the most part, espcialy the games area. I joined for GBS/games and politics and partly because of the various great star wars threads. plus this place doesnt is nice mix of hosed up jokes and being relatively safe. gaf just sucks because its just a weird echochamber now.

My first experience with sa was in the early oughts, maybe 01 or 02, when I was a mere teenager in a MIRC channel and a dude in there who was from SA linked to goatse. That was my first "OH MY WHAT IS THAT MAN DOING TO HIS ANUS" moment, and then someone said "loving GOONS" and then a friend at school started referencing stuff from sa and I just kinda made my way here eventually. Then I made a shitpost and got my regdate changed for it and here I am now

I began posting on SA because it has (and I still feel it has) one of the most reasonable forums to discuss games on the internet. It has its moments of descending into poo poo but compared other forums which either are 100% poo poo all the time or so extremely niche they'll only discuss a handful of subjects it hit and continues to hit the right mix of actual discussion without being awful more often than not. I might feel differently if I wanted to talk about the X-Box One these days!

Honestly, the $10 price tag of posting on SA keeps a lot of the hoards of internet idiocy at bay. Like, sure, there are plenty of idiots who make dumb posts here (I am one of them), but when someone's being really lovely, they get banned and they are out 10 bucks, and only the very rich shitposters continue to repeatedly poo poo up the more moderated communities. Compared to lots of forums where it's just nonstop garbage. edit: ^ yeah, but it's not cool anymore. Discord is cool now.

That said it would be nice if some megathreads like the WiiU/Switch and P5 (allegedly at least with the TL stuff) could not descend into madness all the time.

At the very least don't make everyone voice act around you because that will never not be loving weird unless the character is literally a mute. "What do you think about this, Link?" "..." "You're right, you're silence speaks volumes." Like it would be less weird if you heard a series of grunts and "hiyaaah"s between dialog.

I learned about sa from Photoshop threads on fark and worth 1000, but thought this place was entirely full of assholes. For some reason though I kept peeking at it and eventually reading stuff like pppppowerbook and I Appear to be Trapped Behind a Police Cordon convinced me that that might be true, but they were funny assholes. So I paid 10 bux to get rid of the pay wall and learned there were a lot more subforums than I realized. I probably lurked for a year or two before posting at all and even then it took awhile before I posted anything like regularly.

I joined this website because a friend of mine in high school showed me a GBS thread where some guy partook in some old fashioned Goon Justice on a coworker by taking a poo poo in the ventilation system of his office so everyone smelled his turds for a week.

There are a lot of things in SA/GBS history that sure sound funny when you're a lovely teenager but become kind of  when you get older, like the guy who wired up a Sega Genesis I think to fry his neighbor's cable connection because he was stealing cable from him and wound up starting a fire or something and could've easily killed someone.

There were also really epic chains of stories posters. Like HumperMonkey and uh, whatever that garbage truck driver's name were. Where they started out as these really cool, real-sound accounts of real life events and, as popularity grew, became increasingly improbably to the point where it was like, okay, I used to believe you weren't just making this poo poo up, but now it's pretty obvious that you are. edit: Bruiser, I think was the garbage truck driver.

Snak posted:edit: ^ yeah, but it's not cool anymore. Discord is cool now. This actually makes IRC cooler. As for me, I would occasionally lurk around the forums back in around '03-'04, or whenever half-page long avatars were still a thing, but being phased out. In 2011, I started lurking even more and got tired of the filter in the beginning of 2012, so I paid  to be an actual poster.

I read the front page for years but didn't know there was a forum until my girlfriend at the time showed me some funny stuff in GBS and I started lurking. I finally bought an account when I got into WoW because that subforum was behind the paywall and I knew it was the best place for WoW discussion on the internet, and it probably still is. I know I'm not the only person but I thought the word filter phrases were some kind of dumb injoke

Like he would be telling some totally normal story about something that happened at school and then it would be like "and then I started making GBS threads my pants and poo poo was running down my pantleg and I slip in it and fell down and was rolling around in poo poo" or something like that. What was his name? edit: The worst part of this is seeing the average reg date of other posters slowly creep past mine. I'm turning 30 this month.
