But seriously, SA is still relevant?

Reply 1 posted:

No but SA Goons have an odd specificity to all end up as hardcore SJW's.

We all originally thought it was the long trolling con but it turns out that they degenerated into that because of some deranged guilt and projection.

Reply 2 posted:

No, they dont do anything anymore. The only cool people have hosed off to private Discords to avoid the SJW bullshit.

Some of us are still trying to #MakeSAGreatAgain

I like watching their LPs sometimes. But other than that...

tl;dr posted:

They always have stairs in their house because SomethingAwful was hot poo poo 10 years ago. It was the big walled-garden for elitists who demanded everyone use proper punctuation and grammar and otherwise follow rules or get banned. Individual thread posters could write their own thread-local rules which the paid moderators would then enforce. Perfect order. When I finally got a credit card as a teenager the ten bux to get in was my first ever purchase.

That's just how I saw it then compared to all the trolls and awful content in free web forums. Haven't been back in a long time. But I can see how people who were big into SomethingAwful when they were a major influence on the internet have gradually honed their irony to new heights of trolling. Goon's have the best straight-face, bar none.

At least the trolls over at Encyclopedia Dramatica let everyone in on their game of shameless anti-social behavior. Goon irony is more like playing devil's advocate taken to absurdity ending in even self-deception. Goons love making the best arguments for unjustifiable poo poo, and now they've grown up to monetize it.

They've practiced so much social engineering they are literally now just power-tripping on loving with every subculture whose structures they can map and ascend. Good reasons, bad reasons, whatever. As long as they can keep fancy-talking their way into being important and noteworthy people of great influence.

The front page humor is what originally started bringing people in. Then people skipped reading the front page and came in without any sense of humor or knowledge of the site, and that's when things started going bad. Now there's just constant shitposting, AOL-speak, and white noise because I stopped actually enforcing the rules when I got tired of people whining about them all the time. So blame it on my laziness and slowly growing apathy over the years. GBS used to be a fun place, now it's just "let's see who can poo poo on this thread the quickest" and "effort sux lol."

Real talk. GBS is better the way it is now, IMO.
Cause this way all the shitposters get concentrated into one subforum, leaving leaving higher quality discussions to other places.

But what do I know, since i'm gay.
