I don't believe in anything, I'm just here for the violence.

Isn't the unofficial forum motto "I am deeply conflicted about my service" or something like that?

The motto is, "I don't believe in anything I'm just here for the violence," you loving nub. :colbert:

I thought it was "SMDFTB"? Or is that more a mantra?

I think it's more of a shibboleth.

If I can manage to work in "Suck My Dick From The Back" as a 'Shibboleth' I feel like I should get some sort of extra credit....

You should work it into the title. It will definitely draw eyes and get you some readers.

I think the big difference is understanding when something is just a part of your life vs your entire identity

Yep. It's this.

Thanks. I'm having fun writing the history/background part of the paper. Explaining what SA is to an academic audience is a pretty hilarious endeavor.

You absolutely need an archives account. Because, in my opinion at least, the old A/T thread is closer to Current Day GiP then early GiP is so if you want to be able to draw narrative lines for the forum's culture you really need to start back there.

A lot of people seem to forget that early GiP was the punchline of an FYAD/LF joke which is part of the reason why Grover was the first "mod" (though his "authorities" were closer to an IK's than a mod's and his official title was like "Chief Senior Master Sargent" or something like that).
