OH SNAP!
Came for the :filez: stayed for the jokes.

Nowadays, I'm not really sure. Where else is there to talk about random poo poo? I preferred how SA was years ago but it's still miles better than reddit.

I feel like there was a period of time when even mentioning those two things was a big no-no. Or was it just asking about them?

Somebody give me a history lesson. Even though I should know it already by virtue of having somewhat been here.

IIRC the site came under some legal fire that caused the files subforums to go away, and a post was made explaining what happened and how talking about them wouldn't be tolerated. That was enforced for a good year or two there. Sometime in the past few years everyone stopped caring, not sure when exactly but it's interesting to remember back to that point of SA's history

I was so scared to post when I first joined, hah. This place could be pretty brutal back then. FYAD superstars were cool as gently caress in my eyes, for some reason. Now I'm just an old fart :(

Does anyone have screenshots of how the forums used to look? I remember being pissed when they changed the layout years back from the classic SA look
