that zipline some goon made for a summer camp that was a death trap, and the subsequent fyad thread making fun of it

LF raised like $1200 for some guy in the forum who said he was Muslim and needed clothes for job interviews because he was really fat. He ended up just buying weed with it.
lf was the origin of so many terrible "leftist" subcultures on the internet- anime marxists, overpromotion of identity politics, seeing radical politics in pop culture, giving people money just because they're higher on the oppression ladder, and probably more that i can't think of right now

goons have had some hosed up weddings

i'm gonna need a link to the Zelda wedding thread pronto, if it hasn't been posted here already. unfortunately the thread in BYOB where the woman who wrote the BYOB reggae was severely compromised due to WaffleImages going down, but it was still fun to read because there it was revealed she had an Aqua Teen Hunger Force themed wedding. and i'm not sure if there was a thread about LF and Helldump superstar Goatstein attending a steampunk wedding, but that was a thing too

One of my favorite shitposting goons when I started here was Teapot, mainly because he changed his avatar every time he got a probation to match his rap sheet. This was his avatar before he got banned and then permabanned.



Those big red medals represented 30-day probations and the smaller blue ones represented his other probations. He was a Soviet apologist who really, really hated Windows and Microsoft, and his probations usually involved one of those two topics.

LF took a major turn for the worse after the 2008 election. A lot of lovely internet subcultures that are widespread today were prevalent there (users supporting the worst of communism while having an anime avatar, extrapolating pop culture to academic concepts, fetishizing nonwhite cultures to the point where they paid $2000 to a fat loser because he claimed to be Muslim). Also those GBS effort threads were made so they could laugh at the reactions in their Helldump-like thread making fun of them. Makes sense because that's where a lot of Helldump regulars migrated to.

Also I'm pretty sure that it was the forum that acted all creepy towards Kate Beeton and caused her to never return.
His only problem was that he was ahead of his time. I was reading the posts he got probated for yesterday and I was laughing about them.

Those guys literally made another black poster do a brown bag test because they couldn't believe someone could disagree with them without being white.

Anyway, I have no idea how I earned a ban on sight from a forum I've never psted in, but: in it, voted 5.
Koalas March is a good example of what would happen if you gave a Buzzfeed editor power over an internet forum, and Lowtax giving her run of an entire subforum as compensation for being too petty as a D&D mod was a very bad idea.

This thread has probably repeated the same stories many times over the past 200+ pages, so this has probably already been talked about, but I love HondaRider's demodding and banning. He told a heroin addict that rehab is stupid and she should take LSD instead (probably the context for the end of that Duncan/triticum guzzler post). Somebody made a QCS thread about it, he stepped down when Ozma requested it, and he whined about it in that thread and was banned. I think he still regularly posts on Something Sensitive.

Jeb Lund realized that he could be a "punching up" rear end in a top hat and people would like him more, as opposed to being this kind of Helldump rear end in a top hat.




Also I'm pretty sure he stopped posting there because somebody called his house and his wife got angry at him. He was in his late 30s. I don't think he posted in LF, he went straight to FYAD as Mobute.

Jon sort of redeemed himself when he came on a program on Headline News that was trashing Edward Snowden. He then purposely mixed up Edward Snowden with Edward Scissorhands.

I always feel bad that he gets lumped in with these others because in his case, it wasn't him being a weird goon as much as there being a tragic accident that he admitted fault to. While his thread ending message was as abrupt as that, it wasn't as casual as you make it sound. Just, he kept it brief and didn't go into details, which is reasonable, and then didn't say anything else about it, presumably doing his time, before coming back and trying to resume the life and hobbies he was known for. IIRC, the LP he was working on at the time and stopped preemptively was of the Japanese RPG "Live a Live"
I would hope anyone in that situation would say as little as possible. It was an accident of some sort, and he did feel awful about it, but other than that, it's safe to say he was found not to be at fault. I'm glad that things worked out for him (unless he really did do it but I'm not going there).

I like Psychedelic Eyeball and I still watch him on Twitch since he's all but given up LPs since being forced out of here, but if you test the itchy trigger finger you're going to get blown away. Voidburger maybe didn't deserve the ban but she's terrible and her LP forum is stereotypical Tumblr crap, so who cares. I forgot the name of the person who ragequit SA along with her husband because of the change of the Stupid Newbie avatar, but it was hilarious.

I think other LP forum superstars were pissed at Lowtax even before then (TieTuesday hated him before that incident), but this caused a mass exodus. Guys like slowbeef and Diabeetus haven't posted since, but they were more focused on Twitch before then anyway. They segued their LP personalities to Twitch and you can watch them if you want to, so good for them.

Mandatory trigger warnings when you post an LP of a game with violent, offensive or disturbing content. I had to add a bunch of warnings to the lovely GTA thread I dumped on the forum when it started, which felt just a tiny bit overkill.
The trigger warning FAQ is entitled "Trigger Discipline," which, ironically, is a bit insensitive. Also, the husband-and-wife LP duo that quit SA because of the change of the Stupid Newbie avatar ended up going to her forum. They were in the middle of a LP of the Mario Party series, which I was watching when they ragequit.

TTerrible posted:

Why did Lowtax ban these extremely normal and valuable content creators from his website?! :qq:
Voidburger continues to paint SA as an alt-right hellhole and established the LP Zone as a counterweight to our perceived political wrongs, but Psychedelic Eyeball couldn't give less of a poo poo and just plays stuff on Twitch now. The Lowtax incident was just something he did, and he moved on.

The best mod meltdown was when El Spider volunteered to mod GBS in a QCS thread, was made a GBS mod, did something to make Lowtax probate him, and he started probating people to use the probation reason as a means of trying to desperately contact Lowtax. This all occurred within like 48 hours or less, if memory serves.
What made Lowtax probate El Spider was his refusal to "[g]as threads entitled "friend of the family" or some variation thereof."
