Or they could just not quote every post they like and respond with "lol". Isn't doing so a prime example of whitenoise posting? It adds nothing to the thread.

There is no like system so we use the lol system.

Other than voting a thread there's not really another way to provide feedback.

Sometimes it's nice to say why you did lol at a thing and give a cogent response that sounds like you are in fact smoking a pipe and have leather patches on your tweed coat and other times it's just nice to acknowledge that someone said something funny.

i think we should pubish anyone who says things offensively without clearly trying to make people laugh for instance I think jokes about 9/11 are funny as heck like the photoshop of the pokemon flying towards the twin towers in the stickied thread but then someone just posting haha remember 9/11 with zero effort behind it maybe should be punished

you had a regdate older than the internet

how much self aggrandizing bullshit did you do to lose that?

No offense, a lot of your stuff is pretty great, I just find myself disagreeing with points you make somewhat often.

You're a cool dude in my book :glomp: and you can gently caress as many horses as you want as far as I'm concerned

It is kind of funny how casually inri posts that, but also a little weird because I've seen him do it in a bunch of threads, and often he responds to every single one of your posts with the same shtick. He's like SA's most specific gimmick ever.

inri has some insight on horse humor

I always like your posts. :)

And to Lowtax: It was front page content that got me reading this site about fourteen years ago. You shouldn't lose heart - after all, like you said there were plenty of naysayers the entire time. You not only have the site which produces good and funny content, you produced a good deal of it yourself and got to present some very talented people to a larger audience. You give us a place where we connect, and despite the low-effort posters and the trolls in general, the society is a net gain for all involved. Hell, if the place wasn't vibrant, there would be no trolls since they need fresh meat to live.

So when people say that tired cliche "dead gay forums", I either assume a) it's a clever catchphrase to ward off potential shitposters and steer them off towards poo poo sites like reddit or b) it's dumb assholes who just want to be edgy and nihilistic as possible (you know who you are).

SA is great. Loved it for almost half my life. Still read the front page. Love you guys dearly. Peace.

"same:

Yeah, frontpage is good and real.

Rich and Zack still kill it and the other contributors aren't anything to sneeze at.

I remember when Golan the Insatiable showed up on tv.


Sucks about that slenderman poo poo though. My niece was really into it and uh I hope she grows out of it.

welp

It's just capitalism and profit motive, and the idea that google and facebook are doing literally anything to control the narrative is stupid because that would just be the tail wagging the dog

they haven't put much thought into anything but minmaxing
