I think Seanbaby's the only one who successfully survived, what with making Calculords 1 and 2 and the fact that even today all of his articles are a riot

I only knew Seanbaby from EGM last page articles of him making fun of bad games

Seanbaby posted in the same collective of sites as Chet and Erik (who left old man Murray to work on a small game called portal). He was also responsible for Fat Chicks in Party Hats and he still get guffed on by sjw to this day. Lowtax took that idea and started griefing on everyone with Cliffy Yablonski articles.

There were no collective link sites like reddit or.. well there was fark but it sucked poo poo because you needed to fit the mind collective to submit a link, so getting known took a lot of SEO fuckery to even be considered to be on the first page of results in Google .

I found SA because of Lowtaxs review of EverQuest made it to the forums of the server we played on.

Edit seanbaby did not do badcandy

It was a site where he reviewed hard to get (before the time of Amazon and prevalent specialty sites ) candies like some really fermented corn candies from Mexico or seafood as candy from Asian countries.

Bad Candy was Seanbaby? How did I not know that until now?!?

Unrelated to Sexy PJ LSD party time, I'm realizing that brief period when Internet People were king poo poo was a nice little saga of sadness.

Maddox, Stile, Ebaum, SeanBaby, Lowtax... They were all on top of a crazy wave. It's really dramatic to see How social media and the advancement of the internet made that fizzle out (or how the personalities themselves contributed to it).

Internet Personalities are still a thing, but it's all Twitch streamers and YouTubers and other-things-my-middle-aged-rear end-is-unaware-off-ers.

The way to make it on the net in the maddox / lowtax days was to have a repository of old funny articles. You could take long breaks because people wouldn't be scanning your site in real time 24/7, also people got to your site by remembering its url

The way to make it on the net today is to produce new content every day, and if you don't, you get ignored by the whole search engine infrastructure and nobody remembers your name to find you manually

At the time I remember a bunch of people defended the post as a joke. But it was still hosed up to tell a woman who couldn't pee and was leaking yellow goo from her arms to not go to rehab and do LSD or something instead. What added to the drama is hondarider said ozma promised he wouldn't get demodded from it and for a while it did look like she was shielding him until another admin noticed.

Whats the TL:DR on ozma? For a while she seemed pretty sane and normal with a few minor hang-ups, kind of like how EPW did when she banned all the PYF porn threads for being creepy then later got outed as a pseudo-incest (maybe bestiality?) erotic fiction writer.

There's no TL;DR, she just stepped down as an admin after the Aatrek thing, along with a ton of other people, because it sucks really hard when a mod turns out to be a convicted child molester.

The incest one was eggplant wizard who was an Amazon erotica writer. She made money doing it but goons need to make it a huge issue. She also was a mod of pyf and her moderation was very heavy handed at times.

His cracked articles are the only funny thing on that site that aren't videos although he's only been doing like 2 a year for the past couple years. His own site still has newer articles on it though. He hasn't lost his touch imo

iirc the "problem" was that she kept basing her moderation rules on that she didn't want to be looking at stuff her family wouldn't like, while writing said erotica. Despite that they're not really the same thing, it wasn't exactly odd for people to find that funny.

I think banning almost 5,000 people with her catlady sensibilities goes a long way toward the argument that she had a negative impact on SA.

Strange memories on this nervous night on SA. Nine years later? Twelve? It seems like a lifetime, or at least a Main Era—the kind of peak that never comes again. The internet in the early 2000s was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run… but no explanation, no mix of image macros or GIFs or photoshop threads can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the internet. Whatever it meant...

My central memory of that time seems to hang on one or five or maybe forty nights—or very early mornings—when I logged off of Portal of Evil half-crazy and, instead of going home, aimed my broadband modem at the newest Photoshop Phriday or Comedy Goldmine at 20 megabits per second wearing my fiestacat t-shirt, booming through the Weekend Web, not quite sure which link to follow when I got to the other end (always hesitating when I came to a FARK link, too twisted to find the back button)... but being absolutely certain that no matter which way I went I would come to a place where people were posting photos with 48-point impact text over top: No doubt at all about that...

There was madness in any direction, at any hour. If not on OldManMurray, then over at Seanbaby's. You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning, and that Keep It Real would be unbanned.

And that, I think, was the handle—that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of FARK and ebaum. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our photoshops and habbo invasions and bigpeeler stories would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting—on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave.…

So now, less than fifteen years later, you can go into PYF and check the Greatest Forum Sagas thread, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark — that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.

If you have serious opinions about any of the mods or admins you have seriously hosed up and should take a good hard look at your life to see what lead you to this.
