Larry is incredibly small. Like one inch tall. Jeffrey banned him for being too small to see. Anyway, that's the lore.

Exploration is ill-advised.

oh come ON the only reason she has any sense of notability is due to her association with shmorky also who replays their own meltdown once in a while to "laugh hysterically at it"

Honestly I get it, the whole reason it blew up is because the situation was so incredibly ridiculous and surreal on top of being horrible that I can imagine with even a little distance it looks all the more completely loving absurd even when you lived through it. You can recognise it was genuine abuse and also find it so ridiculous in hindsight you can't take it seriously anymore.

my hot take is that we should completely ignore the insane neonazi ex-shmorkette and we should definitely ignore the unhinged drama YouTuber.

yeah the main reason both larry and synthy kinda got a bad beat was because, well, they like the people on this site and the owner is an absentee landlord and at that point (like february iirc) the only time he was loving seen was coming into qcs to give everybody in it a week's probe in late december

not exactly loving shocked that people that have friends on this website get mildly perturbed when it turns out the only way to get the site leadership's attention is to make a loving death threat against them

It's really not. He had run SA long before he purchased it from Lowtax, and while he wasn't as absent as Lowtax, he used his position as non-official ruler to ignore the forums without getting any anger for it. I suspect he thought it'd be just the same after he purchased it, but once his name was on the deed and his grace period was up, people stopped giving him a pass.

if anyone's head from spr @all itd be cool to know if she's aight
she claimed she was going thru some v. gnarly stuff the day she got perma'd, like top 3 worst things to go through if she was being honest, idk it sounded rough & the weirdbad forum behavior is quite concerning looking back at it in an unhealthy self harm coping way
my thinking is having what sounded like a large portion of people she was regularly interacting with at the time all tell her she's a piece of poo poo before getting permad and losing that unhealthy but-not-physical selfharm coping mechanism, idk i just hope shes doing ok u kno

SA was clearly not good for her mental health if she was acting like that on it and also SA held no power to fix whatever was going on in her life so no matter whats going on with her rn she has to be doing better not on it than she was on it

Endorph

people on here talk about other social media beign addicting but SA can also be addicting because its both large enough to get attention and feel like theres a big active community but also small enough that one person can meaningfully take the reins and attention of that community

like if you want the attention of every politics person on twitter, lol. if you want the attention of every politics person on sa you can just kick up a fuss in the politics forums. SA doesnt have an algorithm designed to manipulate your behavior but people can still form an unhealthy relationship with it

see all the permabanned rereg guys

We shouldn't forget Mia Wasikowska independently figuring out SPR's deal without even the tools to confirm it and giving her the Koala March AV right before jeff exposed her.
