Thinking about buying some ads for the GOONPAC thread. That's definitely under the banner of 'nonprofit', correct? And it's definitely okay as long as there's nothing NWS there, correct? I wouldn't normally ask, but SA's not exactly historically consistent with how they handle politics and partisanship.

PHIZ KALIFA posted:hey so that MAKE SOMETHING AWFUL AGAIN banner ad links to a Photoshop thread I think the site would be better off just deleting. It wasn't okay in 2005 either, but holy poo poo? straight up hard -ER n-bomb on page 9. We're better than this. Agreed. And take down the openly transphobic and trans-shaming Fashion SWAT entries too. It’s a horrendous look for the site, and they’re not hard to find. quote:Zack: "Emotionally transgendered" is pretty much the definition I think of when I derisively call someone a human being. You can throw dicks up asses all you want, you can be Carson from Queer Eye in a faded pink Morrissey shirt, but you're just gay. This guy is a loving human being.

CaptainSarcastic posted:There is some truth to this. It would still represent the site. This isn’t a public library, nor an online textbook about internet bigotry in the 2000s. It’s an entertainment site and a private business. Ads are being served on these pages right now. Would they be served in said hypothetical gas chamber (also could we drop some of the gas chamber poo poo, seeing as how 1488 incarnate is the president of the United States?) too, thus bringing SA revenue from their inclusion? And putting them all in a repository with a big fat THIS IS WHERE WE KEEP ALL OF THE OLD OFFENSIVE AND BIGOTED CONTENT. WE DISAVOW ALL THE STUFF IN HERE. HERE BE DRAGONS, RACIST JOKES, AND QUEERBASHING. KEEP OUT PLS, UNLESS YOU ARE A HISTORIAN WHO WANTS TO SEE WHAT SA USED TO BE LIKE would just make it easier for bigots and white nationalists to find and copy all of the stuff. Like if you put it all in one place with a big sign on the front then you might as well post links to it on 4chan/T_D/etc too, because that’s 100% what would happen anyway. Let the Wayback Machine serve its purpose as a historical record of internets past and let SA move forward without continuing to chain itself to this boat anchor of poo poo.

But if we don't leave everything as it is--or better yet, put it all together in a repository with a big angry sign on the front and a URL that every hooting chud can just link to one-another until we're seeing goon-made work from 2005 pop up in boomer Facebook threads about AOC's feet then Our History will be destroyed!!!!  is a hell of a multiverse-brain take

Again, for like the third time, if you lump that stuff together and put a sign on it but keep it accesible, you’ll just make it easier for the wrong kinds of people to find and share it. The confederate flag argument is crap, this isn’t a museum. Nuke that poo poo, scholars in 50 years aren’t going to be sad that we deleted a picture of “Adolf’s Orange Jews” or whatever. (I just looked again- there’s an entry called “K*ke Krispies” for fucks sake) And to stay on topic with the thread, somebody please take down the MAKE SOMETHING AWFUL AGAIN ad that links to it. It was clearly done with bigoted intent and every day that it stays up is an embarrassment to this site and its management.

Rectal Death Adept posted:Voting not it on this threads idea to force Lowtax to apologize for and remove Something Awful content. Grow up, nobody said that. Just take down the poo poo with the obvious slurs and homo/transphobia. Other, way bigger sites have dealt with this problem in the same way. You don’t have to run a campaign to cleanse the back catalog or whatever either. If somebody finds and reports something, look at it and take it down. Lord Stimperor posted:Hoo boy. That is some poo poo. This is super unnecessary. SA has historical value but this isn’t like IBM working for the Third Reich or anything like that. Just take that poo poo down and be done with it. We don’t need to put the site in a loving hairshirt, just be better (which the site already is) and don’t host bigoted content. If it would get you permabanned today then it doesn’t belong on the site.

Rectal Death Adept posted:I don't think this is a very good argument. The bar for permabans was lowered from actual crime/pedophiles/gurf to people who have mild disagreements with an administrator. Fair enough. Still gotta get the bigotry stuff off the site. The history argument rings incredibly hollow.

imgay posted:Why shouldn't they? If SA accepts their money for 30 days of advertising, and then pulls the add the next day, why should they have to pay? It’s been mentioned that SA does chargebacks in that case, but I’m actually pretty ok with people losing their deposit on an ad buy in the same way that nobody gets their membership refunded when they eat a ban, no matter how arbitrary or nebulous that ban might seem. The ad buy page already says, in two spots, that anything deemed by admins to not be work safe/unacceptable for somebody browsing at their office is subject to removal. Do we really need a list enumerating what that is? At the end of the day, it’s $8 for a month’s hosting of a nonprofit ad and like less than $30 for-profit. 90% of them are bought as jokes or to promote a thread. Also, lololol at sticking up so hard for the consumer rights of Kiwifarms trash, but shine on I guess. They didn’t know that creating links to “n*gg*rforums.trannydeath” was bad! Oh these poor confused adult men! Somebody needs to list the rules about what ads are and aren’t acceptable ahahahahahahaha talk about being terminally white online ahahahahahaha

Is using the word “gently caress” allowed in a banner ad or is that verboten?

I just purchased an ad (GOONPAC! Go donate money and volunteer before the Iowa Caucus and help us usher in a thousand years of gay space communism so nobody has to bankrupt themselves to get medical care!) but it gets to the end of the gif animation and then doesn't cycle back to the beginning. It goes through the first four frames just fine and then hangs on the last one without going back to 1. As far as I can tell, I ticked all of the right settings in Photoshop when I made it, and if I open the gif as a file on my desktop it cycles through all of the frames indefinitely as intended. But when I upload it to Imgur it reaches the end and sits there, just as it's doing right now on the Forums.

SupSuper posted:Doesn't seem to be set to loop correctly: Aw yeah! Thanks so much dude! It's weird because I definitely set it to loop "forever" in Photoshop and my copies here work fine. Maybe it's a MacOS/PC thing? Can a mod/admin replace the dud one or do I need to do a new ad buy? Should I email about it? Having the current one stick on "goonpac" isn't the worst possible outcome but it'd be nice if it cycled through the little rhyme.

Doesn't, like, a decent divorce where there isn't a bunch of extra fighting or scary poo poo or time-consuming poo poo or extra legal poo poo cost on the order of $20k? Like, maybe the most "no alarms and no surprises" divorce can be done for $10-15k? Imagine being salty enough that Lowtax has "$50k in savings" to buy an ad about it. Like hoopty-doo he's in his 40s and maybe he can afford to retire for like two years, assuming that those savings don't go literally anywhere else. Guess he's robbing his patreon subscribers blind I tell ya.

Arrhythmia posted:It looks like there's three ads in rotation. Two properly loop, one doesn't. Yep, I just bought two new ones today and used the gif that SupSuper fixed. At this point, I'm happy to just let the oldest, non-looping, one die once its time runs out if that would be less of a headache, but if it's got a week or two left in it I'd appreciate it if it worked like the other two. Ultimately, it does the job of advertising the thread it's for.
