Man goes to doctor. Says he's losing sleep, has heart palpitations. Says he feels distressed that so far nobody has been able to articulate why they prefer discord to posting right on the forum. Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. Gigantic loving moron crazy eyes mustafa is posting in pyf tonight. Go and laugh at him. That should pick you up.' Man bursts into tears. Says, 'But doctor… I am crazy eyes mustafa.'

the forums were mysteriously crashing, it turns out the cause was some guy who had put so many people on his ignore list that the forums were crashing trying to load the list. the odd thing was that nobody knew who the guy was, he only posted rarely and in coupons at that. it may have been some fun script that went awry because at this time in forums history people would sometimes do script tricks to get someone they didn't like added to other people's ignore lists. the guy got banned and there was no followup as to why so many people were on the ignore list, so it is just a forums mystery to this day

iirc they came back in the original thread although it's been a loving minute. they just didn't use SA at all like anyone else, if someone made any kind of remotely off topic non-coupon providing post they blocked them and had been doing it for years.

whenever I see an old thread like this I automatically assume it's a remnant of when ZDR deleted all his posts and broke like half the threads on the forums

e: I remember when mentioning this was a ban-on-sight from Lowtax too

Yeah there are still threads that pop up from time to time that get broken because of this. Will show that there are new posts, but can't see anything when you open the thread. Astral usually has to poke the db to fix those.

I banned ZDR while asleep? Wow, I'm good.

By the way, for all you idiots who believed I somehow banned an admin while I was sleeping, what happened was the power at our hosting provider went down yesterday, and after they restored it, the hypervisor controlling all cloud accounts got overloaded and started loving up and causing weird errors to occur everywhere, so you can drop your retarded-rear end conspiracy theories at any time.

I don't remember the exact circumstances because there was at least 2 or 3 incidents where the Lowtax-ZDR relationship bounced from "we're all good" to "ZDR stole money and ghosted" and back and tbh it was kind of hard to keep track

The post-deletion thing was related to Lowtax making fun of Shmorky's schizophrenic nazi ex, who was posting schizophrenic nazi things to him at the time. He had a thread going to post pictures of her and the stuff she was saying, and the thread was mocking her meth teeth and stuff. ZDR and some of his threads thought it was lovely and posted in protest of it, and then I guess ZDR realized doing that would get him booted, so he did something that deleted every single post he ever made. He claimed he was "testing" something at the time and did it all on accident but yeah it is one of those things that's impossible to verify secondhand with the story flopping around so much.

Speaking of discord, there's been a lot of drama over the past week with the New World MMO and the extremely terrible goon Tempus Thales who always jumps in to be in charge of the something awful guild for new MMOs.

He finally got banned tonight after loads of people posted the accumulated evidence of nearly a dozen years of the guy being a shithead.

Thank you for this. SA MMO drama is always amusing to read through.

E- I guess I should actually post the funny immolation for context

Man your butthurt is now double the size of Goatse's rear end in a top hat and that just brings me joy, every time you have to come up with some new bullshit lie or story because you think this somehow hurts me, but when you do this, I just grab the popcorn and while everybody else just enjoys you going down your own imagination on things that have never happened.

Your salt, is my joy. You need to try harder though, because this doesnt make a dent in my poo poo-o-meter... that's why you are banned from 99% of the servers. o7

PS. I eradicated WTT from Something Awful Discord back in the day and have banned all of their members, I have been doxxed (keep trying), harassed, threatened, death threatened, and I am still here, and will continue to be here, if only to just annoy you or anyone else that doesnt like me. Please if you have hard evidence that I am a racist, please publish it. You wont find anything unless you doctor it... same with the nazi stuff. Go for it, go nuts and prove me wrong... I dont really care what you have to say about me, because the more time you do, the more time you waste on not doing anything else.
