Why isn’t there a book about Doobie’s Dog House?

All of Doobies facebook posts would make a great coffee table photobook at the very least. The profits could go to building a new Hot Dog lending library for the impoverished minorities in Reform Al.

I am the author of this book and I just want to thank everyone here for hating it before reading it.

I did speak to Lowtax for it. He was very nice and we joked about making sure SA was in the title for promotional purposes before I knew what it was going to be.

Sorry, if you feel the title doesn't represent this site, which I understand is sort of like when gollum gets good at the end. Hopefully, I fairly represent it in the narrative.

As a first time author, I had limited control regarding titles and subtitles, though I did ultimately choose these. For what it's worth, I did worry about people getting the wrong idea about this place, internet utopia.

I have to say, it's hard to imagine a scenario where, 20 years later, the internet looks like such garbage SA shines like a gem, but strangely, it has occurred.

I haven't posted here since 1999.

It boggles the mind, but it seems the tag line 'the internet makes you stupid' turned out to be a PSA more than a joke.

Thanks for jumping in Dale, it's heartening to see Goons make good (so please consider kicking some CN money to Lowtax's patreon https://www.patreon.com/GamingGarbage)

Thanks! Glad you like it! According to our update schedule of every 5-10 years, David and I are slowly planning a new one! Glad you guys bought Lowtax a new spine!

What was your old username?

Sorry if you mentioned it already and I missed it.

Don't you think if I remembered my old username I would have used it so I wouldn't have had to spend ten dollars?! The only memory I have of posting is trying to log in one day and being enraged that the forum said I needed to pay ten dollars, and thinking, "who the hell do they think they are? This place is not ten dollars great. This forum's going to fail now." I later switch to Dumbrella (rip), which was like a forum for webcomic artists/aficionados.

Damo posted:

why does your article say that something awful in 2005 was "an online community of a few hundred nerds who liked comics, video games, and well, nerds things." few hundred?

You're right, it's wrong. Because I did no research into SA when I wrote the initial piece. I think I was conflating it with my experience of it in 1999, though maybe it was already tens of thousands of users then. Strangely, my mind discarded as irrelevant almost all the information it gathered about the weird forums I visited when I was 19. But I should have done a better job fact-checking that piece.
