Honestly, in 2023 when two random posters are selected from each subforum, equipped with an explosive collar, and dropped on an island to fight to the death for the entertainment of the 20 elite forum all-stars, I'd definitely be one of the dweebs that gets blown up in the opening volley.

In case anyone missed it as the tide turned and FYAD was faced with the reality of their crimes this was the last post made in that forum

And this was the spark that kicked off the inferno

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3905950

Death Ray ran into the thread to defend themselves, exposed their blatant "lol racism lol trans" attitude leading to making it 10x worse and giving the mods and LGBTQ goons enough to finally push the mods/admins to take charge of the tolerated racist, sexists, and outright vile hate speech.

I think it's automatically applied to every post as a signature. Back in like 2003 signatures started taking up almost entire CRT screens as idiots kept trying to out do each other. I turned them off and have never looked back.

FYAD should have never been rescued from RFA status all those years ago.

This is from a long while ago but I don't think FYAD was ever dumped into RFA. I know LF and YCS wound up being consigned there but I can't remember if there were any others that got cast into the RFA pit permanently. YOSPOS was one of the original RFA forums too, although it was rescued after a brief stint down there (which I recall getting the impression that that made FYAD a little pissy).

Does anyone remember or have links to that poster that wrote stories about their “bear fighting uncle” and his battles against, I think it was “slut-fish”? At first they were loving hilarious non-sequitur, fantasy madness stories, but then at one point the writings revealed the author to be a racist or maybe a pedophile, or something equally horrible. I’m fairly certain the name included Axe in it somewhere. Anyone have any idea what I’m talking about?

There was AxeManiac who used to be a mod here and ended up being exiled after posting pictures he drew of his avatar loving a woman who turned into a toilet or something, probably the same guy?

Himself pissing into a toilet made from a partially dismembered woman. Also, hilariously poorly drawn.

In retrospect, it wasn't a surprising development

Yeah for some reason it’s been burned into my head that every mod/admin always flames out and gets banned/autobans but that is not the case. Some surviving former mods are still around, and some of them aren’t even terrible!

Either you’re nice and normal and give up being a mod/admin because it’s stressful and there’s no benefit or you cling to it and eventually get outed as a psycho pervert. It has always been this way
