I'm quite happy with how things are run these days; I've been following the subforum since I joined in '11, and I don't think things have done much but improve over time. That said, I'm also not active enough to get involved in any drama. I was really impressed at the efficiency (and patience) of... I think it was Crow(?) dealing with some of the crap that went on in the Pokemon Reborn thread. That thread was such a beautiful, disastrous mess.

I will say this, I did not actually read a single proper update of Reborn, the thread drama and accumulated mythology was enough to keep me entertained while I tried to wrangle it under control as best I could. I pray the alleged final chapter of that disaster never actually comes out so that OFS doesn't have to reopen that accursed thread and actually finish the LP. The meltdowns and self-owns brought about by that thread though? :discourse: Sheer perfection.

I do wish I were more active in today's SALP.

A lot of this came from modship but not quite like you'd think. LP was kind of YCS's ugly stepsister in one in particular actively hated the subforum (and the LP threads in Games before there was one) and would like retitle LP threads and talk about what a circlejerk it was openly and encourage YCS loving with LP. Another one made posting an LP a punishment. When I finally made mod and got into the mod forum archives, I could see that kinda talk behind the scenes and was really paranoid about watching p's and q's.

The "don't take this too seriously" stuff - which I think we... well, I... did for too long and too far was a lot in response to this. (But to be fair, like people did post about like doing Let's Plays instead of their final exams which actually directly spawned the pseudohobby line.) The site didn't do stats so we had no idea how popular LP was outside of the 'users browsing' thing and it was sort of tough to deal with. Lowtax like never ever posted in admin so I thought he hated LP until Webcam Ward when I found out he didn't really know or care about it.

I do regret 'pseduohobby' for sure but a lot of this stuff was just navigating blindly thinking the people who ran the place hated you and having a couple folks in charge seem to confirm that.

At any rate, from someone who lurks very infrequently (my son is pulling my hand away from the keyboard as a type), I think things are a lot better than when I was in charge and I'm glad folks are happier now.

I have moments here and there where I think I made the wrong choice stepping down as a mod, but I think I made the right choice given what was happening at the time and what it was doing to my mental health and I'm happy to be free from the second-hand headache, even if LP was a model subforum in terms of its stability and the quality of its posters for the entirety of my tenure as a mod here. I'm very proud to have both inherited and handed off one of the most well-behaved subs on SA.

I honestly don't think anyone even remembers I was a mod here anymore.

My sole regret as a mod was that I never got the chance to pay slowbeef back for Rainbow Dash Rendar. :mad:

Did we ever get a SSLP and VLP tag/filter made?

It was mulled over, but the consensus was that it would just clutter the forum up and so no, we did not get it.

'S been a nice long while since we've had a "Do do doo, I'm just gonna post a loving creepy porn LP, pardon my dust" faceplant. Nice to see Let's Play's still got it when it counts.

think so. don't think that one got perma'd, but an alt of theirs might've

I think he's just regular banned, because he's still lurking here on SA shooting people PMs out of the blue on random poo poo with the unbanned alt that still has the red text on it so that you instantly know it's him. I think the stipulation is if he ever comes out of the shadows and actually posts here again, THEN it escalates to a perma, but I might be wrong. It ain't my game anymore to figure out.

It's incredible that every time I remember to see if any new LPs have sprung up after a few months away, he is still being talked about. He wanted fame and he sure got it. Just not the kind he was looking for.

Did we ever find a way to label things SSLP and VLP? :pray:

We've got a set of tags added to the mix, but few people ever use them:

Again, it's insanely telling that the guy who hosted his LPs on the libertarian alt-tech video host platforms decided to LP a pair of games about not paying your taxes and having upsetting ideas about the age of consent :v:
