I bought a custom avatar for someone once when I was manic, to deal what I'm sure was a sick burn only in my addled head at the time. I consider that upkeep for my forums use. Buying petty poo poo is what makes this site great.

Have trolling standards dropped so far that the best people can muster is a minor inconvenience, where the gotcha moment is when the victim declares "Well that wasn't very nice."?

"I like to see people react to things they dislike with a measured/tepid response" is an odd way to try to justify things, in times gone by people generally wanted to see meltdowns for their efforts.

nice meltdown

It's been mentioned a million times but comparing SA to Reddit is so dumb. Reddit is for normies, SA is not (no "discussion forum" is for normies in tyool2016).

It's like comparing driving to cock and ball torture

This is true. On the rare occasion I mention posting on forums I get a confused look and I have to say something like "it's like having a Facebook conversation with a bunch of people but stuff is divided up into general and then specific topics and sometimes there's people who enforce rules."

Honestly, 20 something year olds :rolleyes:

The heyday of this forum was goons posting actual sick burns against each other and it was glorious. What we have now is but a pale shadow, where someone posting 'lol you care about a topic' is about as heady as it gets.

Yeah? Well, you're funny-lookin'!

Not being bigoted became cool and then it got hijacked by special snowflake oneupmanship. Now demisexual genderqueer is a srs bizness identity on parts of the Internet. Somewhere in the middle of that process SA got tired of that poo poo and :sever:ed.

I enjoyed the ride. I can understand why people who jumped ship during the sjw bonanza and never looked back still assume the forums are that way.

I think that's a rough approximation.

Ignoring my opinion is actually very disrespectful to me and my people. As a straight, white male, I have privilege and you should respect that.

Is it really Milwaukee's best, though?

Nested comments are the loving worst. You know what the new hotness is? Single-level inline quotes.

I've honestly tried to use Reddit a few times and the nested comments thing burns my eyes.
