It didn't hit any particular group, it didn't resolve any underlying drama, it just made a couple of the smaller forms lose their fixtures for no particular reason. There has been no apology or official comment on it.

all of the community-building effort available has gone into making five tweets from the official SA twitter account over the course of this year, op

it's great that searching "something awful" on twitter in incognito mode brings up a banned paedophile furry promoting his podcast about the forums as the first result.

i mean i think like 95% of Games posters have no idea anything is happening, and dont care. nothing thats happened here has like, truly affected adtrw, which is cool as hell

i think people are extrapolating a lot about how threads they posted in encompass the Whole Userbase. theres nearly 2000 people online at around midnight american pst. how many of them know what the sagas thread is

Bro literally every time I see you post it's popping into a thread with some pedantic "Um, actually" poo poo. Calm down man

im not 'willfully' missing the point, im disagreeing with some of what you're saying lol

i think some of the bans were loving weird, and i think that the huge admin protection on that gbs thread loving sucks. i think the gang tags were funny, and the post-christmas probate was weird but also pretty funny. i dont expect everyone to agree with each of those points, and i only say that to say that everyone is going to feel differently about each individual thing here, and i think tying this all together as "the admins are waging a war on his users" is not like a reasonable thing to project out.

like when the lowtax poo poo happened, it was in every single thread. no matter what it was about. you couldnt avoid it. i stopped reading the sagas thread for a few weeks, but kept up on most of the other threads i read, and had no idea any of this happened until i looked at the lepers colon. the userbase is not largely affected by this.

its just been pages of "when will the admins answer us??" and like, thats their answer. no. its bad answer for some stuff for sure, but it seems like you're not going to get a different one.

honestly jeffs a big stats guy. if you really want to stick it to him, arrange a post strike or whatever. he clearly likes metrics.

Who is the “my knife is lonely” guy? We should make. Thread for stories like that.

There was some lady on Twitter once who apropos of nothing declared it was never okay to joke about rape. A preteen boy replied to her, saying it was okay to joke about anything as long as the joke was funny.

The lady had a bunch of orbiters who all immediately joined her in harassing the child, and for some reason speculating about the size of his genitals. This crowd included several SA posters and (now former) moderator Abe.

The lonely knife guy wasn't a poster I don't think, just a chivalrous knight who offered the lady his services in murdering any further children who might annoy her, if she could only find their addresses for him. His knife was very lonely, after all.
