SA would be a pretty lovely doc, you need something with a singular focus for a good doc. Have they ever really done a general discussion forum?

The closest I can think of is those sites like Topix that amount to "people yelling about stupid poo poo." Those can produce some good episodes, but I suspect they need very careful curation to really develop a theme and/or get the best possible "morons yelling about Burger King" posts.

They’ve done r/relationships before and it worked well. Reddit works well because the subreddits give you a theme ready to go.

That Chicken sure loves to drum...sticks
the problem with making a SA doc is that while there's plenty of good poo poo throughout the site history the majority of chatter on the site is benign dross, plus the stuff that IS good ranges incredibly broad subjects. from people losing their poo poo on ketamine, low carbs, building a bathroom really badly, or just shaggy dog stories ending in blasting harrison ford with poo poo. there's no general theme to tie it all together other then they all came from this site.

Just use SA to probe communities like Free Republic instead of as a source doc.

they did a doc on that way, way back. I think the MRA point about not wanting to do lovely toxic communities applies. hard to make fun when the president is all but a PUA

(i actually don't know what happened with FR for the last few years, but I assume it went full Q)

Lou did something like freep if not freep itself several years ago and it was just really one-note “OBAMA IS THE DEVIL” bullshit. It’s challenging to extract material from such sites that doesn’t become repetitive very quickly and I don’t blame anyone for not wanting to pick through it for interesting material.

FR is entirely anti-q. they're all crumbling in disillusionment now that trump has backed relief checks.

I can't imagine creating an SA document that would be a funnier or more effective skewing than Goons_TXT.

Also, I just finished the Sonic canon Extra Credits. Reading every one of those Shadow The Hedgehog ending titles was a masterstroke.

My take is that there are a certain fraction of Freepers that have swallowed Q, but generally the owner and mods are anti-q, and the q types get shut down fairly quickly if they bring it up. Jim Robinson doesn't want competition, after all.

Genius. Billionaire. Playboy. Philanthropist.

ExtraCredit did a doc that was a bunch of the ADTRW seasonal anime threads and it was basically them getting angry about anime for an hour for no(?) reason. An SA doc can work but it, like others, needs to be focused.

What I'm actually saying is that they need to be forced to read the Crunchyroll forums.

The F Plus were cowards and tapped out of doing that during one of the Garbage Days, so the EC crew picked up the slack and got so fuckin angry I'm pretty sure it devolved into Shell Game just going 'piss' over and over.

It was a good episode.

"Nerds talk about stuff unrelated to the main point of the forum" is my favorite topic. The Crunchyroll episode is good, the Fetlife episode is good.

I remember feeling let down by the F+ Luscious episode's dearth of hentai posting the first time I heard it and realizing the second time that this was the best thing about it.

The only ones I remember strongly objecting to were the one about the dude whose shut-in child sister was the artist who drew the porn manga he wrote and the one where girls compete to knock each other into water with their boobs or asses. Otherwise we were just goofing, no real animosity.

I think you're thinking of the lesbiathan. She says piss way more than me. But we were definitely all fed up by the end and probably only made it because of how silly it sounded to us when we replaced a bad word with cowboy.

Hi ayahuasca forums, I'm on drugs right now!

Also I highly recommend the 6-8 part Oh No Ross and Carrie batch of episodes where they flew to South American drug rehab center and actually got extremely hosed up on ayahuasca and Ross nearly died after falling on concrete during a bad trip/seratonin overdose

I loving love that these shows exist. I'm using them as coping right now, but i can't find an episode.

I think it was all about mucous and how illness are fake?
and i'm not sure if it was F+ or extra credit.

I relistened to Adjudicated Guess over the last few days. Unfortunate that only six episodes ever came of the thing, because it fit in so great as an F+ side project. The last ep still called for question submissions; maybe they just got busy with other stuff :sigh:

At times, it seems like so many new episodes from so many podcasts have come out that I have an insurmountable backlog left to watch. Then, the weekend comes or things are slow at work and suddenly I've listened to everything and have to dive into the F Plus back catalogue. (I probably need to start adding the Extra Credits back catalogue into the mix on those occasions.)

Because it is a phrase. It's the title of a different internet series.

I feel like it should be easier to not confuse the concept of extra credit with a pun based on arcade credits, but perhaps I'm just being uncharitable.

I do occasionally see people post about Extra Credits in the Online Creators thread and get confused for a while, wondering when the podcast started doing youtube content. I have no idea why I occasionally call the podcast Extra Credits. My lack of sobriety may have something to do with it.
