You heard wrong. He didn't sell the forum to Yahoo. He traded the forum for a pallet of Yoo-hoo.

I do find it funny how I hear SA isn't relevant anymore but is still the boogieman in any game with a group function I.e. EVE, Star Citizen (lol), any other MMO. then again, most gamers got brain problems (I play games)

Lol. That has to have been a goon that posted that to stir the pot. Of course you have those who take it at face value.

ViolentAcrez was a mod of 40+ jailbait and creepshot forums, and he performed oral sex on his 17 year old stepdaughter.

The admins congratulated him with a gift of a reddit bobble head for generating so much content and creating the, at the time, third largest subreddit by subscribers, and first largest by traffic.

Holy gently caress what!? I only new about the subs and their takedowns. Not the guy behind it :barf:

right now little kids and teenagers are being violently raped and receiving unfathomable trauma that they might never recover from and scumbags are filming it for fun and profit

just MAYBE it's an insult to the victims of child porn to use the term to describe some 16 year old posting a selfie of herself in a bikini on instagram simply because a pedophile somewhere might jack off to it but apparently that makes me a predator or some poo poo

source your quotes.......?

If you want to encourage effortposting, I recommend positive reinforcement. Making rules against"bad" posts will only discourage people from posting altogether, whereas rewarding and recognizing good posts has proven results.

I don't know if you recall, but the period when Gnarly was having weekly posting contests saw the longest continuous string of goldmined threads I've seen in my admittedly short time here. Every week there were two or three amazing sticky threads and a lot of great stuff was happening. Gnarlyhotep gets a lot of poo poo but the numbers don't lie and he oversaw a GBS Renaissance.

The reward doesn't have to be anything big, it can be something as small as an AV change or even just recognition. Creative types love recognition and if you offer it to them they will work themselves to death to get it.

This will, of course require some effort from the mods beyond probating and banning people.

What happened with Gnarly anyway? I started posting in GBS around that time then stopped for a while. Then saw he was banned.

Yes, a bunch of goons misinterpreting his words into 'ninjas are good' and making GBS threads on him is a very good example of the lovely hostility that is omnipresent in the current goon culture. We're just going to have to agree to disagree about reading comprehension, apparently.

But Mordin didn't seem to meltdown about it which is what the other goons were trying to goad him into, I suspect. I can see how that would turn someone away if they weren't familiar with how poo poo goes down here. Goons love a good meltdown and if there's no one else to target then we start eating our own. Happens alot.

Anyway. It's really hard to keep people from being sucks to each other, whether it's ironic or not. I'm not sure where I was going with this post.

Are we really better than Reddit though, when you think about it? We do have a whole subforum dedicated to polishing Derek Smart's balls.

Well they have their own subforum for that too. Maybe we're not so different.....
