SA has its problems but just the fact that it has places where you can tell a little joke and people will get it and do their own follow-up instead of going "Actually, it's spelled 'tain'." puts it above 99% of other internet places.

I believe this was Martin Random, who coined the amazing phrase "fecal lasagna" when referring to his alleged roommate's bathtub.


Lobok posted:

I feel like this is right...? I thought his name started with H but maybe Snak's mention of HumperMonkey is influencing me.

No, these are two completely different things. Martin Random told the epic story about the worst roommate ever with the remote controlled car door lock and the fecal lasagna.

This other guy was a gimmick poster who would post new threads in GBS that seemed to be normal stories at first and then all ended with poo poo everywhere.

I miss mIRC, and I'm so glad that discord is a thing now, even though I barely use it, because it reminds me of IRC.

Discord is fantastic, just the way that it automatically parses video and image links and lets you upload files is such a huge quality of life improvement over old chat and messaging programs.

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...
I started lurking SA exclusively for lps around '07-'08. Checking the LParchive, Pokecapn's Sonic 06 lp started in 08, and that was definitely in progress when I found SA. I think that was also around the time the Freelance Astronauts were playing... Oblivion, maybe? I didn't bother to join the forums because I didn't want to pay and I didn't really have anything to say. I still don't, really. It was kind of annoying whenever the paywall came up, but as long as I knew where to find my favorite lper's Google Videos (lol) or Viddler (double lol) videos, I was alright.

Also, I spent so long with the word filter that my mind automatically parses 'lovely' as a bad thing, which makes some things pretty funny to read

"This is one of my favorite recipes. These lovely little lemon poppyseed muffins are just delightful!"

One thing that I like about this place is that it doesn't attempt to placate morons that think that their shitposts are protected by free speech. The admins are allowed to "abuse" their power to remove problems in the community and it's all done in the daylight.

I live in a boring dead end town and we had an authentic Japanese ramen place open within walking distance of my house and now it's a daily struggle to not pick up a pork tonkatsu every time I pass by. Once you have the good stuff it's hard to forget about it.
