I think it was because a crazy ex of Shmorky's dumped message logs on KF where Shmorky was RPing eating diapers and some allegations of grooming teenagers. A "yikesaroo" moment, so to speak. Then there was something about the logs being faked. I don't recall if anything was 100% confirmed or debunked but that's probably impossible to do either way. It was all a huge mess.

Even by the low standards of SA redtext this poo poo is incomprehensible. You saying the Pinkertons are bad is saying cops are good? The purchaser is stating their own view that cops are good? who's to say

I think it may be a weak attempt to "own" CI for disagreeing with them by redtexting them with something most goons would disagree with? It's bizarre.

There was a time where being an "SA person" was poised to become something of a brand -- specifically around the time of the Dangan Ronpa LP when a bunch of people were trying to develop an LP scene. A good number of them had names like [person]SA on YouTube and such. Then Lowtax panel banned VoidBurger and that was the end of that.

It was specifically around the Dangan Ronpa LP I was on twitch as [Boba Pearl] SA, because I thought at that time that being able to post on SA made you an adult, and would increase clout as a content creator, instead of just an egg waiting to hatch. A lot of my favorite let's players were from SA. It's actually insane to me that Lowtax hosed that duck so hard.

Whenever this place had status and popularity, he could have sold the place and the corporate vampires would have got their teeth into it.

yeah something like several million was offered to him in the 2000s or so, around the time CondeNast bought reddit, everyone wanted to grab a thriving social media/posting site and were prepared to offer stupid amounts of money for it without any serious due diligence or realistic growth projections.

Enough money to set someone up for life but would have likely just ended up like most lotto winners who go through the money in less then 5 years.

there's a guy who bought a bunch of collector boxes of Magic the Gathering: March of the Machine, and I guess he got sent March of the Machine: Aftermath collector boxes instead, which is the set that is coming out after March of the Machine. he does MTG unboxing youtube videos, so he did just that and spoiled the entire set before WOTC had announced more than like one card.

WOTC's response, apparently, was to send the loving Pinkertons after him:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD9HRueI6Js&hd=1

they showed up and threatened him with a $200,000 fine and 10 years of jail time, which I'm pretty sure is total bullshit since they're not law enforcement or anything, just "investigators"(thugs, union busters, utter scum).

pinkertons deserve concrete shoes and nothing more

Not sure about that, but TG forums mod and "star" podima was apparently running the place unquestioned and the whole "extremely weird issues of consent" thing was basically his bread and butter style of running discord roleplays. Also how the roleplay discord/mafia post games lead to people getting so emotionally invested and attached to it the subculture very easily turns toxic and harmful when someone abuses their role.

One of major intrusive thoughts from that whole SAD thread was the accusation that Bees was "harvesting private communications" in the sense they invited other people to a 2nd discord and went "yo, this is loving weird, am I the only one getting this from the DMs?" in the Riven The Sequel to Myst fanfiction roleplay clockwork clones rape story
