SA will live on in thousands of other, also-outdated ways. IRC will forever host channels full of people that just can't let go of an aging standard, probably literally hundreds of other forums that collected goons, roving twitter circle-jerk mobs, loving ham radio of all things (73) and of course, dozens of discord instances, and slack, probably a dusting of snapchat by now if we have users under 25 anywhere (lol)

Rex-Goliath posted:it'll fracture and the individual splinters will eventually burn out independently as they won't be able to sustain themselves with SA's pull so don't worry too much about that the only offsites that seem to survive are horrifying pits of bitterness and nastiness. not sure how to prevent that. when sa goes offline there will probably not be a place like the pos again.

cis autodrag posted:most folks i talk to like the forums in spite of lowtax rather than because of him. the most visible forum has a toxic culture that drives away new registrations and lowtax comes back in a tone deaf rage to remind us that "gay" and "tranny" are funny words and the sjw mods were ruining his site. it's not 1997 anymore but his sense of humor never moved past there and he'd be better of leaving the site to zdr and a few others to run. this, but also maybe start cracking down on the people who immediately poo poo on every single thread because everything has to be a pissing competition over who can care the least and how loudly they can tell everyone about it

My Linux Rig posted:I know you aren't gonna wanna hear this, but the new place for that is reddit Yup, this is your best answer for niche interests other than here. If it makes you feel better, the smaller communities are usually nowhere near as bad as the rest of the site (but sometimes are much worse)
