I believe they are alluding to the fact that people from FYAD sometimes bring to light something bad that is going on in some other forum, the most recent example being Bobbie Wickham in E/N. Subforums often develop insular little communities by virtue of the fact that most people rarely venture outside of the subforums they frequent. There was a pretty interesting little bit of :discourse: in the QCS thread about how meaningful this is and whether it is due to genuine concern or simply a desire to stir up drama.

LGBT goons were pointing out for years that BW was poo poo and needed to be gotten rid of. Guess which forum's regulars laughed those concerns away?

The only thing to "get" there is mental illness. That's what you're seeing in there and actually why FYAD is inscrutable to everyone normal. Big surprise that the place that invented internet griefing a bajillion years ago attracted actual psychopaths, the sort of crazies who enjoy online astroturfing and manipulative bullying of unsuspecting people as a hobby. They're genuinely funny and charming psychopaths.

ah I see, the problem is that they're the bad, dangerous kind of crazy people. this isn't weird at all.

Yes, that was brought up in the thread as well. It's good reading, if you can stand the constant attempts to misdirect and reframe the argument. I barely could.

There have been a lot of interesting and valid takes to come out of this whole incident. "Everyone in FYAD is mentally ill and that's why it's bad" is not one of them.

I don't know if it's my place to say this, but these are strange times - there is a LOT happening behind the scenes. The mod/admin team has been working as hard as time zones and their real lives permit to make things right.

I understand if you don't believe that, since I'm a mod now, but I'd like to think the years I spent being a member of this community (and other subs) in good faith has earned me some credit.

We want to do the right thing, and we will. This is indeed a great and weird saga, but you'll know things as soon as I do.

Thank you for believing I have any powers outside of PYF. I love oldpainless and I cannot imagine anything worse for PYF than having him hamstrung by the expectation that he be the sort of square I am naturally.

But seriously, thank you - I cherish this community and all I want is to preserve what makes it special while keeping it welcoming.

Fumigation. In the olden days people would use spiders, but then they had to use but then they had to use birds to get rid of spiders, and God knows what else to get rid of birds afterwards. This poo poo has killed many people, especially elderly women, so it's hard to underestimate modern advances in the medical field.

It wasn't FYAD, like you're insinuating. The mods were the ones minimizing the issue in the original 2018 thread which I posted in and backed the goons questioning BW's decisions.

Like I know you have a hard on for hating the pink forum but you should really stop spreading poo poo like this just to make yourself feel better or whatever you're doing.

So to be clear the main requirements to be a mod

- Active poster in the forum
- Established reputation with the specific community they'll oversee
- Free time to do all this for no pay
- Inability to ever shut the gently caress up if they get personally attacked and ever properly apologize
- Respond to any complain about FYAD with "you just don't get FYAD"

Shocked, shocked I tell you that people poo poo talk mods in general.

Really good meltdown happening in QCS. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3905950&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1

Summary: A poster asks about another poster being banned from BSS. Said poster comes in to defend himself and everything goes downhill. Not only does it have the usual attempts to roll with the punches, replying to literally every poster in the thread, and complaints of "I'm an old goon and I don't understand the kids today and their cancel culture and their more than two genders", but the goon fancies himself a writer so all of his posts are just drenched with heaping helpings of :smuggo: and using a hundred words to say what can be said in ten.
the best part is when he dude who posted the "can't we all forgive my man the chud?" starts backpedaling and telling death ray "you're digging yourself deeper, dumb dumb"


also just chiming in cumshitter is a treasure :allears:
