tony wasn't even perma'd, just regular banned

pretty sure he didn't rereg because you can't keep a cork in a personality like his for very long

Tony came back as vomitorium and was picked out immediately in the F1 thread. He eventually did a bit too much cocaine in his m3 and ate the perma

Coming in from the leper’s colony so sorry it’s late but I’d just like to say LMAO at getting humilliated and permabanned because you wanted to save $15 on your attempts to frame your posting enemies for transphobia. That’s so hosed up. I love the forums.

What goon dating show

Remember GLITBL? That was some crazy times. I almost posted on one from my city but I chickened out when someone much prettier than me and closer to his age posted. He went on the date with her and it seemingly went well. I wonder what ended up happening with them.

I always thought the only non-cringe 'tans' were from those sega(?) games where all the characters were based on consoles. But I also still like :nyoron: so like taste varies.

Something Awful-tan is a trend setter, notorious for a lot of internet memes including O RLY?, All your base are belong to us and Im in ur base, killin ur doodz (and variations of). She tends to be very snarky and says everything is awful in some way (ex: That's awful! or Wow! That's not awful!). Her hobbies are making fun of idiots, reviewing bad websites, making parodies and throwing grenades. She has aquamarine + white hair with grenade-shaped hairclips in the front and dons a blue outfit based off of a SWAT team uniform which she wears to reflect her 'duties' as the Fashion SWAT, apprehending those whose fashion doesn't meet standards. But she does not enforce the law, she is usually running from it as she is also a juvenile delinquent who has gotten in trouble with the law several times (SA has had a lot of legal problems) and does not get along with The Smoking Gun-tan, who is usually out to get her. But Something Awful-tan is after the Smoking Gun-tan because she wears clashing colors!

Fark-tan is Something Awful-tan's closest friend- sharing some of the same interests, sense of humor and fondness for photo editing. However because Fark-tan is also friends with The Smoking Gun-tan, tension arises when the three are together. Another companion of Something Awful-tan's is a snowy owl who she taught 'useful' phrases such as O RLY?, YA RLY and NO WAI!

The Smoking Gun-tan is depicted as a serious-looking grey-haired woman with glasses, and wearing a black shirt, red tie, orange vest, red skirt and drab chartreuse blazer. She'll take nearly any case (she especially likes the outrageous, shocking and obscure kinds), which she's prepared for with her folders full of evidence and pictures. Also specializes in declassifying files and has an impressive gallery of various mug shots which she shows off with pride. She specializes in legal and police work.

Most others are scared of The Smoking Gun-tan, knowing that she can use nearly anything someone says or does against them and with her being friends with Fark-tan, who can blurt that stuff out to the masses, make it well-known quickly.

the "tans" were for each forum, because the goons had unearthed the website of someone who enjoyed art of anime women being punched in the stomach until they vomit.

https://www.somethingawful.com/news/you-arrrrreeee-champions/

quote:

ENTRY OPTION #1: Readers of Something Awful should be familiar with the various OS-tans; anime girls representing computer operating systems. Recently a mean bad ALoD recipient decided to create a Something Awful-tan and drew a comic about her getting punched in the stomach and vomiting. That just won't stand! As your entry for the art category create a Something Awful tan, either for the entire site of Something Awful or for one of the sections like the ROM Pit or Photoshop Phriday. Bonus points will be awarded if she is pictured abusing the man in the ALoD comic. This can be animated if you choose.

the creation of further anime art was supposed to... own him somehow?
