you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

AN A+ OPSTER (:

back in 07 there was an aussie goon who was an english teacher for "slow" kids and part of the class was creative writing and one of her students came up with this insane story about aussie teenage drama that the main character eventually like converted to islam and her friends and family would throw bacon at her yelling "repent bitch".

It was a SUPER long story like 20 parts and full of just crazy spelling and story and she would always write stuff like "we went tothe store and bought milk for two dolla dolla"

why do we have a super milk chan smilie, everyone hated that show

I laughed at super milk chan once
the mayor's voice actor really leaned into the "m" in her name for no reason and then laughed, ruining the take, and they just left it in

:iamafag:, aka 'awesome' was another of those things born on these forums that escaped into the wider internet. It was originally bought in late '06, and GBS, true to form, proceeded to run it completely into the ground.

Eventually one of the admins got so fed up with it that he changed the :awesome : tag to display :awesome: instead, and it remains so over a decade later. This had the hilarious side effect of completely changing the meaning of any posts using :iamafag:, for example this entire thread

I sometimes post on an arcade hobbyist forum where people still use :iamafag: completely without irony and still get a kick out of it, it's actually really weird to, uh, code switch between SA and other oldschool vbullettin style forums where they just seem perpetually stuck in the mid 2000s. another forum I posts on has admins that actually delete posts from threads when people go offtopic or try to make (super innocent) jokey posts. getting genuinely weird breaks their minds and they freak out like I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS THREADSHITTING HOW COULD YOU

if they're anything like the places I used to frequent, they're probably used to shitposting being kind of privileged behavior
I think every bbs back in the day had its local fyad wannabes who'd been around for years and were allowed to be cocky and irreverent and do poo poo that would get a newbie chewed out or banned because we know meatfrog, he's cool. but if we don't know you like that, it's weird to be overly familiar

web 2.0 basically demolished this, mostly by diluting the dynamic of having both core users and a regular set of general users. when there's no sense of community, either everybody's allowed to shitpost or nobody is

My favorite is still the responsibility scallop. It came from a reCaptcha thread in which the posters would draw whatever the Captcha managed to say. Among the images were my personal favorites "who tamika", "titmouse hams", and "kickapoo court".

There were times when I was unable to follow for a year or two. The most recent hiatus was in 2014 to 2015, then for another handful of months until mid 2016. I missed the Shmorky meltdown and I also noticed how the forums became less strict.

One of my favorite spectator events was the dogFUCKER fiasco. I wish he had a smilie made but I'm drawing blanks on what it would contain...
