trouser chili posted:Been here a while, but quiet mostly these days. I remember joining when it was free, then again later when it was This is some good posting and I agree with a lot of what's been said itt that sets SA apart from the general cess pool of the internet. I think a primary component of making SA a good place for mostly serious internet veterans is the admission fee itself. In addition to heavy self-policing and (compared to everything else) a very stringent curating of content through active moderation, the fact that (bad) trolling, spamming, and general moronic poo poo cost actual literal money has probably been the biggest factor in keeping the worst poo poo of the internet at bay. It's a brilliant way of doing it, not just because it's effective but also because it's really an idiot tax. Which is both funny and very deserved. Every forum should do the same. The other thing is that once you venture outside of gibbis, SA has a lot of finely concentrated extremely quality information gathered in one place on almost every topic you'd care to think of. AI, CD, YLLS, the legal questions thread is a personal favourite of mine, there's a fantastic backpacking/wilderness survival thread with some info you would take years to learn on your own or in the military - coming from actual hands-on experience. Compared to the rest of the internet, SA is actually a trustworthy source of so much good poo poo I mostly source my entertainment and games recommendations from here, and so far haven't really been steered wrong. Even my actual real-life friends can't say as much. SA has a pretty insular culture, that's true, but I think that's actually a great thing. It's immediately obvious when someone ponies up Lowtax's troll toll coming in from some other site, and their bewilderment at getting called out will never get old. I also like the fact that dark, dark loving humour is actually okay here and not some sort of teenage edgy 4chan poo poo, and in many ways I consider SA to be the best example of freedom of speech I can think of: Relatively unimpeded by moral outrage, terrible moderation, spambots and noise, and there's a cost of entry both in monetary terms and in actual ability (the ability to read, then to write, and coherently at that). I still recommend SA to friends, particularly those I know who are gamers who could do well to play with goons which is my most memorable experience from all my gaming days. I still think SA has a role to play in the internet of the future, and I hope SA doesn't go away, net neutrality and such be damned because honestly if I had to hang out around reddit or imgur or any of that horseshit no-effort-no-content meme-filled bullshit I'd just loving retire from the internet. Like people have said, it's a corporate wasteland now and intelligent voices are few and far between, except right here. Sometimes. Maybe not in this post, but somewhere on the forums, I'm sure. As for the question of money that a few people have mentioned, yeah if it came right down to it and Lowtax needs his  , I'd be fine with going on a shopping spree and grabbing a new avatar, some text, new name and such. With the amount of entertainment I've gotten out of these forums, I'd consider the money I've spent a loving steal of a bargain.

some notes: the noir monologue mentions "newsgroups". it's ancient forums technology, pre-internet, dating all the way back from the 70s. they required special clients, instead of being websites, and they were based on a peer-to-peer network of servers, with no central authority. in their most recent incarnation they provided threaded discussions with text-only posts (as posts were basically emails, html was supported as well, but it would get you yelled at), with a subject line, signatures, optional attachments (again, basically e-mails) and small avatars (black-white only to keep the size down as they had to be embedded in each post). the format was widely copied by several web forums. moderation was optional and most groups were unmoderated and relied on client-side ignore lists instead. nowadays they're basically dead, and only survive as an extremely inconvenient but very under-the-radar peer to peer file sharing network. relevant to internet detectivry: a site called Deja used to maintain a searchable archive of all posts of all newsgroups ever, that was a rich source of information for doxxing. Google bought Deja sometime in the 2000s, renamed it Google Groups and gradually ran it into the ground, ruined the search feature and made it virtually unusable, to the greatest relief of anyone who had made embarrassing or otherwise compromising posts youtube was already a thing, and so was legendary infomercial channel "will it blend". I'm not familiar with "kramerrant" and "ucla student" white, pale skin, short red hair and thick square frame glasses was (still is?) the "nerd girlfriend" stereotype, also seen in the first chapter of "gbs morality police" as Girl's fake profile photo. I don't know why exactly that's a thing "whatd you say to us making an MPG?" MPG, short for MPEG-1, is an obsolete video format, that before usable streaming (and I specify "usable" because streaming existed back then but it was notoriously bad) was one of the main formats in which video (including porn) was downloaded. meanwhile, JPG is still going strong as an image format "Call me if you need pictures of someone's house": this was an "internet detective" (i.e. doxxer) stereotype on these forums. to prove that you had someone's real world identity, you'd post a photo of their house. Google Street View hadn't been launched yet, so I have to assume that people actually went and took photos of people's houses IRL Hemingway To Go! posted:Are you saying Ian Jones Quartey made that?

Something Awful is responsible for a lot in my life. If you were around GBS in 2010, you might remember a project called Two Gentlemen of Lebowski. It's a mashup of "The Big Lebowski" with the work and style of Shakespeare. It began as an elaborate joke, but thanks to that thread's enthusiasm, it became a viral sensation, an off-off-Broadway play directed by a goon and co-starring another, and finally a book published by Simon & Schuster (and still, astonishingly, in print). As a side note, sitting in a meeting at a big corporate publisher's office, attempting to explain how SA culture worked to a very pleasant group of marketing people and the president of the imprint, was really a lot of fun. "Is it like HuffPo?" asked one nice lady. (My editor knew what SA was. I'm not sure the rest of the room ever 'got' it.) I'm certainly not the first person to have something that got big on Something Awful spill out into the rest of the Internet and even the dreaded real world, but for a while I did sometimes wonder if I'd be one of the last. I don't know if we all just got older or the makeup of the Internet changed or the forums themselves took another turn, but it seemed to me like SA wasn't the community it used to be, an incubator for comedy—be it sprawling projects, little Photoshops or even just the perfect nasty retort. (There are comments I remember reading back in the mid-2000s that I can still recite verbatim today…) I know there are a lot of people who miss that feeling and I'm glad to see it heading that route again. Nearly every opportunity I've had or paycheck I've earned in my writing career since 2010 can be traced back to the fact that goons liked "Two Gentlemen" and supported it, both in its original form and what it became. Not a bad deal for .

I remember loving the YCS webcomics thread back in.. 2008? Two comics were typically posted, Kate Beaton and Manage a 3. One dude did graduate level critical theory readings of some poo poo comic about swords from time to time. This fairly regular state of affairs was then periodically interrupted by 200 images of a bad panel from QC or melted goblin comic or whatever. I can't replicate the style of it but it really was avant garde po-mo art in the way some of the best meme threads are.

Who What Now posted:A dude in LF posted a very long and elaborate plan on how to murder then President George W Bush. Lowtax got a visit from the Secret Service asking if he was aware of the post and for access to the SA servers. I don't believe any arrests were made, but the "don't talk about killing politicians" rule went up immediately after. Actually the threat was against Barack Obama very early in his Presidency when it was turning out that he wasn’t ushering in a communist revolution. The extreme left-posting and StalinLove stopped being “ironic” at that point and had gotten off the train in Crazy Town. I don’t have this Al Aqsa banner because I really love Islamic Fundamentalism, but in the last days of LF, it might as well have been viewed that way.

The whole Lowtax LF Secret Service fiasco happened in 2010 and I honestly have never seen Lowtax that pissed off. Like, he did the whole Forums Cancer thing and nobody knew what happened and eventually Lowtax explained what happened. It started that whole understanding that when something major happens on the forums and Lowtax goes radio silent something really serious happened and he will open up later. The same thing happened when radium got fired where Lowtax did it then wrote an open letter on the forums long after. Though this wasn’t the case with Schmorky but you didn’t need to be forum savvy to know that relationship was going downhill fast and wasn’t going to end well.

Now I’m on a bit of an SA history kick and want to give my view of Helldump. At the time it was kind of a necessary evil because we had a lot of lovely scumbag posters creeping around weirding everyone out. Helldump was kind of a way for people to go “hey mods! This guy is a lunatic!” and the thread built the argument to ban them by way of posts and poo poo as evidence. For a perfect example of Helldump at its best read the LegoRobot thread which is glorious. But everyone knew it was going to implode one day and once all the true lunatics were banned it became a pure doxxfest that could become a liability and it got shut down.

juggalo baby coffin posted:its about when people realised that doobies doghouse was a loving retarded endeavor and public opinion turned against everyone who had trumpeted it. Yeah. Doobie's Doghouse came out like Zybourne Clock with goons offering to do the website. People would get probated for making fun of it. You were supposed to get in and join the Goon Community in supporting a good cause. Everyone was talking about their donations. How their donations would help. How great the cause was. Some goons cancelled Christmas to repeatedly grab everyone's attention with $500 donations. Mods had written huge effort posts about the amazing thing we were bestowing on a small town and how we would change. peoples. lives. Then someone found a facebook comment from Doobie where he replied to a video of a large black woman dancing saying that she must have found an all you can eat fried chicken buffet. Uh oh. Worm turn. I was still lurking at the time so it was hilarious watching it happen in real time. The best part was the firestorm that consumed the super sensitive GBS that Ozma spent years developing. Most of those people went to PYF in a huff which is why PYF has some of the biggest pussies on the forums to this day. Just recently there was a huge meltdown about systemic racism and blackface because someone cosplayed a shadow elf.

I remember one YCS webcomic involved Jade Raymond (then lead developer of Assassin's Creed) back when gamers would hit on female game developers like creeps instead of sending them rape threats with a Pepe signature. Long story short it was supposed to be about how creepy gamers were being towards her but instead was a loving creepy comic involving her sucking off nerdy gamers who praised her genius (complete with money shot at the end). For some reason Ubi Soft sent Lowtax a C&D even though he didn't make the image or even host it on his servers. Nothing came of it and Lowtax had a sense of humor about the whole thing. VictorianQueerLit posted:The best part was the firestorm that consumed the super sensitive GBS that Ozma spent years developing. Most of those people went to PYF in a huff which is why PYF has some of the biggest pussies on the forums to this day. I never want to go back to super sensitive 2013 GBS ever again where you had to watch where you loving stepped. I couldn't believe a forum that was known for being able to make off-color jokes without fear turned into a "GASP!" What did you say?!" place. Not to mention it was boring as gently caress because nobody wanted to make a thread so you had the same Page 1 for an entire week. Though it did give us GBS 2.0 which was truly glorious in how batshit crazy it got but also never left the confines of GBS. It's a tie between the Aatrek threads and the Star Wars 9/11 photoshop thread for GBS highlight for me. Justin Godscock fucked around with this message at 00:33 on Dec 1, 2017 |

The forum hasn't been about comedy specifically for ages and I doubt it's gonna lead another cultural revolution in that regard. The way I look at this place is, first and foremost especially GBS, is just to make jokes and have fun. You can have a serious argument in one thread and pretend to be stupid in another. I've made serious threads in GBS. Its just a place to talk to some people you will never meet and have a little fun

One of my clearest memories of GBS at that time is the thread about the woman who just walked straight into an airplane propeller and lost a hand. Anyone making jokes about the situation was punished and there had already been a complete ban of all puns because of the rollercoaster decapitation thread. Now at least when an alligator eats a toddler at Disney Land we can all come together and wonder why you would bother letting your toddler get eaten by an alligator. It's not like he's going to remember it.

Icon-Cat posted:Something Awful is responsible for a lot in my life. Same, but push the timeline to 2012 or so. I put together a modpack for Minecraft called "Technic" for other goons in the thread. Yogscast (they are goons after all) got a hold of it and started playing it on their YouTube series. It rocketed in popularity, people smarter than me came to me and in short order we had a website going, a launcher, more mod packs. It was super popular super fast, we got invited to speak at the first Minecon even. Since I'm not a weird tubby goonlord I had fun, signing 'KakerMix' on kids' foam swords as I talked with their parents was cute. Because of that I owe Something Awful for all (and I really mean all) opportunities and my livelihood. Technic is now in the twilight years what with how videogame popularity goes, but man oh man it was fun as all hell. Those of us there at the start are all doing very well now, I work for myself, others work for Amazon, one moved to Japan and got married. Because of this I'll always defend both Something Awful and autism.exe, they've just treated me so well.

big words for a lurker the decline and decay of Sensitive GBS was a sad thing to be sure, but at its height, it made GBS a unique forum that expected everyone to put in effort. among the mods, Abe in particular really cared about effort, and would punish low effort threads with mod challenges: do this non-trivial thing, or get probated or banned. often with a twist, for example that if someone completed the challenge before the designated victim, they could choose a different punishment. in a famous case, the twist was that if someone completed the challenge, Abe would literally eat his hat. the challenge was to scientifically evaluate the usability of an erlenmeyer flask as a masturbation aid for men. iirc the goon that was originally challenged forfeited, but another one took it up, and absolutely aced it, with several flask-loving experiments (complete with - censored - photos) and a report of the outcomes. Abe was forced to eat his hat, but partly chickened out by making a fruit hat, putting it in a blender and consuming as much liquefied fruit hat as he could. goons were impressed with the flask fucker but considerably less impressed with Abe's hat eating the Abe brand of moderation culminated in a forum-wide event called the GBS Master Plan. sixteen (iirc) goons volunteered, not knowing what to expect. Abe came up with personalized and extremely challenging tasks for each of them, to be completed within a deadline. Master Plan participants could solicit the help of the rest of the forums, but were expected to work their asses off. the challenges I can remember: a guy had to get a tattoo of the chumbawamba logo (except Abe consistently misspelled it "chumbawumba" and the guy found it hilarious and got the misspelling tattooed instead). challenges like this had an "out", or alternate - but related - challenge, but Abe knew the guy (a GBS and PYF "superstar" and admitted attention whore who instead of filling up the Master Plan subscription form made a post that literally only said "ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME" etc.) would actually go ahead with it a girl had to donate her hair to chemo patients or alternatively write a letter explaining to a chemo patient why she wouldn't do it. this was a really poorly handled challenge imo as Abe clearly didn't do his research (very few people have the right hair for making wigs and even just dyeing your hair automatically disqualifies you - so "egoism" wouldn't be the sole reason for not donating your hair) but refused to back down or admit he was in the wrong (see also "chumbawumba"). a sadly common Abe thing that showed the way to his eventual downfall guy had to remake the "Dirty Cowboy" video. he succeeded spectacularly guy had to make a music video for a rap song (I forget which) in the style of traditional japanese Noh theatre. another success (although he had to ask for a deadline extension of a couple days), somewhere on youtube guy had to write a novel. the result (titled "Detachable Burdens" iirc) wasn't exactly novel length but Abe still considered it a success. I read it and after a strong start it kinda goes nowhere. not a good book but still readable guy had to apply PUA techniques on the free sample ladies at the local Walmart and document his efforts and outcomes. he was a good sport about it and his field report was hilarious. he even managed to get a (fake) phone number! girl had to record a Billy Mays themed music album. another success that managed to get the line "Drill me with your Awesome Auger" permanently stuck in my head girl had to write and illustrate a children's book about pooping robots. she forfeited hackbunny fucked around with this message at 11:40 on Dec 1, 2017 |

KakerMix posted:Same, but push the timeline to 2012 or so. I put together a modpack for Minecraft called "Technic" for other goons in the thread. Yogscast (they are goons after all) got a hold of it and started playing it on their YouTube series. It rocketed in popularity, people smarter than me came to me and in short order we had a website going, a launcher, more mod packs. It was super popular super fast, we got invited to speak at the first Minecon even. Since I'm not a weird tubby goonlord I had fun, signing 'KakerMix' on kids' foam swords as I talked with their parents was cute. Because of that I owe Something Awful for all (and I really mean all) opportunities and my livelihood. Technic is now in the twilight years what with how videogame popularity goes, but man oh man it was fun as all hell. Those of us there at the start are all doing very well now, I work for myself, others work for Amazon, one moved to Japan and got married. My man how ya been?  Those were good times, especially triggering the mod authors over on the official MC forums (and even 'converting' some of them eventually in the process), that one weird rear end goon who posted his fairy/rape/murder fanfic, Butter Notch, "Yep That's My Game", all good classic poo poo. And yeah Technic was cool, but YogBox was first and cooler.
