It's baaaaaaaack! Discuss your favorite SA Sagas and Stories here- We're not going to kick off with a giant OP listing all the best ofs, but I'll update the OP with the good stuff as it drops in the thread. Having a giant OP from the start kind of killed discussion last time. Some rules: 1)No slapfighting 2)Derails are cool but I'll cut them off when they start going in circles. 3)If I can tell what you jerk off to from a post, that's gonna get probated. Edit: The best part of being on a forum that's been running for more than two decades is that people have gotten up to some really crazy poo poo in that time. Some of it's fun (Chickencheese!), some of it's funny in a "Oh god why would you do that" way (groverhaus!) and some of it's sad (that hoarder dad that got his kids taken away ). I'm gonna kick the thread off with a lesser known favorite of mine: ten or eleven years ago, a goon posted his attempt to win a game of Hearts by shooting the moon four times in a row. For those of you that don't play Hearts, it's a card game where the goal is to have the lowest score when someone breaks 100 points. You get points by getting stuck with cards (each heart is a point, the queen of spades is 13 points). You don't want to get stuck with cards... unless you can get ALL the cards. If you "shoot the moon" like that, everyone else gets all 26 points. Doing it once is hard but doable. Doing it twice in a game, very hard. Doing it four times in a row is goddamn nearly impossible. It took months but the goon pulled it off.. Then got perma'd two years later on a Ron Paul toxx. Ugly In The Morning has a new favorite as of 20:18 on Aug 27, 2021 |

Also remember when Pinecone sample copy pasted a story in the relationshits thread about someone’s aspiring Tim mcviegh brother from Reddit and got a call from the feds asking about his brother.

What Saga does everyone predict will break this iteration of the thread? My guess is Coupons and Deals hitting critical mass and attempting a forums coup, only to fail and ultimately restructure as an Amazon referral-focused offsite that occasionally makes snide comments about this place.

Dunno if its much of a saga, but I remember how years ago, it used to be a probatable offense to post a small image of Bart Simpson. Didn't think much of it at the time, but I suppose I am curious what the story behind that is. Namely where it came from and why it would get punished.

New saga thread rule: Do not post small Bart. E:I’ll probably add some kind of rotating rule to break if you want a current topic comedy sixer just for shits and giggles.

Yeah, Guy Mann isn't actually permabanned. He's on a 100,000-hour probation across all three of his accounts (Guy Mann, Sleeveless, and ...of SCIENCE!). That means he can still log in and read the forums on his accounts and he can still report posts. Personally I find that so funny that I think I like the 100k a lot more than the permaban for any situation where it isn't "this poster did something actually illegal/dangerous/horrible," in which case yeah, clear-cut permaban. Cursing a terminally bad poster to 11-ish years of forum ghost status is very funny to me.
