Teddybear posted:I think his logic was that he was a certain number of steps up the civilian contractor salary ladder, so that made him equivalent to the number of steps up the salary ladder for the army, since folks in the army often use the salary ladder code (E-2, O-4, whatnot) as shorthand for the rank. GS does not quite work the same way.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Using the rank codes in the military afaik is to make it simple to compare ranks across branches and even across NATO countries. A US Army Captain, a Navy Captain, a german Hauptmann, and a french Capitaine are not necessarily the same rank (especially the navy guy) but may well work jointly. If you’re a contractor you’re uh... probably never ever going to be giving commands to any military’s personnel so... kinda seems like Zuckerberg pretending to be a four star general. Even in the US, it’s not like GS has separate officer and enlisted ranks, just steps and grades.

Mousepractice posted:Didn't the porn performer in the shoot also have one hosed-up foot, like one giant toe instead of five normal toes? I vaguely remember a bunch of goons getting run off her official forum for asking about her "mangled hoof," but I might be thinking of someone else. Can't remember her name, or if it was ever actually confirmed that she had a hoof. Next Door Nikki, according to the SAclopedia entry for “frog”.

You gotta spend time on the internet somewhere and every other place nowadays is a parade of shitguzzling teenage Nazis microdosing anime or something. Yeah, I was reading the front page in 2004. I didn’t move on to lurking the forums til 2008, but then I read the dollfucker thread and was hooked.

luxury handset posted:it is really not fun to play at all. it's the difference between laughing at people's creepy sex ideas from behind glass, over the internet, and going into someone's basement so they can describe their creepy sex ideas to you personally in an angry whisper From my understanding from reading some people reviewing it to mock it, resolving any combat or non-combat event in FATAL would take an absurd amount of time. The rules are bizarrely number heavy for someone’s hosed up wank material.

He took this turn where he would be super contrarian and just hate everything while doing the SMG psuedointellectual thing. The best part is when he would do it in a long-lived thread like the Book Barn Joe Abercrombie thing and you could just look at his history in the thread to see him talking about how much he liked it a year or two before.

I’m pretty sure the first time I heard jamming poo poo up your dickhole referred to as “sounding” was in that horrifying thread someone made in E/N about their brother who was addicted to it and was giving himself UTI’s bad enough to do permanent damage by using bike pump needles and the like.

El_Elegante posted:a different goon who also described gender studies in their suicide note? Think hard now on this backpedal. That’s the one I thought of when he made the first post. Dude went and had some kind of weird fight with the cops, bolted, and then jumped off an overpass while on the run from something that would have been a misdemeanor while leaving behind some kind of weird LF as Hell note. Not sure if it mentioned gender studies but I remember thinking it was terminally online. Would have been in 2012 or 2013.

Basically the forums peaked in like 04-05, and there was a big drop off in about 13-14 as a bunch of people who only posted in the Let's Play forum moved to Twitch. It's been fairly steady since then. 13-14 was also when GBS was made into a FYADlite which I’m pretty sure drove away a fair amount of traffic.

I mean, there was a major change to one of the largest forums at about the time things dropped off. I know it turned me off of that subforum for a while until I got used to it. After a month or two it leveled off into a pretty good time but I have no doubt it put off some people.
