At its height I bet this could have sold for mid-8 figures easily

now I think the worth is in the nostalgia and the domain name - I'd say maybe six, seven if you can dupe the buyer

i guess this site thinks it's worth $2.2 million, which seems super high https://www.worthofweb.com/website-value/somethingawful.com/

Those websites are based on potential worth if everything was working correctly and leveraged etc etc. They'll say random d-list celebritys like the McElroy brothers are worth 3 million because its based on output thats completely unrealistic in the real world.

That being said this has eBaumsWorld and fark being worth 10 times as much and 14 times as much respectively so maybe its not all hooey

So what the gently caress now? this is the only place I'm comfortable on, and I don't think the forums on whatisthematrix.com are still around.

donate to RAINN, poo poo post till we're banned, and make sure Tax don't get no money. Maybe he'll cede control but probably not, so we're just fiddling and incurring extra server costs until whatever happens, happens.

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.

Horizon Burning posted:

Due to QCS drama, ZDR deleted all of his posts from the forums database which broke a ton of threads. The admins claimed it was unrelated, but this was clearly a lie. Months later, ZDR returned to the forums and asked Goons to support him financially as he was between jobs and couldn't support himself or his sick wife. In return, he promised to do a lot of coding work on the forums. He got thousands of dollars from SA Goons, then vanished into the ether, never to return. If you pointed out this was a scam, you were branded a chud.

Seriously. What the gently caress.

I'm not even tossing incel out willy-nilly, vandalism:

-plays magic the gathering but whines about SJW elves or whatever the gently caress
-plays world of warcraft but doesn't actually socialize with anyone
-thinks women could have just left when louis ck pulled his dick out, and that the fact they stayed makes them fame-thirsty whores
-came into this thread to repeat, and defend, his assertion that lowtax did nothing wrong

again, it's textbook incel.

goons are unbelievably gullible, it is our defining characteristic and is inherently selected for because in order to become a goon you have to believe someone who tells you that paying 10 dollars to post on an internet forum is a good idea

Is that original beecock? I feel like there was another.

There was a spidercock for a while, which IIRC was a poster who did it for some hosed up forums challenge. He put a piece of wadded up toilet paper in his urethra so none of the abrasive/stinging hairs could make it into his dick, as a precaution. Lowtax was directly involved.

its literally a reference to his post, you'd know that if you actually read all 300 pages of this thread before butting in and making yourself look dumb

"Faced with an intelligent and legitimate point of view, the ignorant masses lash out. It's good to see some actual arguments instead of "gently caress off" or "look at the incel""

The trick to a successful funding campaign is to brutally gut the competition. People only have so much money to give away and it needs to go to you. Woman fleeing domestic violence and hiding in a shelter needs money for a lawyer and accommodation? Destroy her and claim those funds for yourself!
