A lot of folk weren't awake for it, give the admin team a day to work out what to do.

you could hit her with a 24h probe while the admins figure out what to do, even in the kindest sense like rhino was asking for that gets her off the forums to touch grass if nothing else happens

That's a good point. Facebook and Reddit can have communities, but they're often too big to mod the same way you do here. Plus Facebook and Twitter have their layer of mod bots and such before it reaches the completely faceless people spending miserable work days mopping up all the messes on those websites. This website is large but not so large that the mods are out of reach. They're around and are supposed to engage with people. The paid admission does mean people have more of a stake in the um "well being" I guess of their account, too.

Every once in awhile my mom will tell me about the kind of stuff she sees on genealogy forums/Facebook groups for like, people descended from original Mayflower pilgrims and it is absolutely bugfuck insane. Like we’re used to it here but there’s nothing like an irl Karen being told that no, the genealogy proves that you did not have an ancestor on the mayflower and also no you are not related to fuckin Pocahontas. Holy poo poo people go CRAZY.

As someone who knows monkeu almost exclusively from his seraph-style reregs that still regularly pop up in the NBA threads in SAS to take a victory lap whenever the Golden State Warriors are doing well, it's still wild to me that they're the same poster from one of early SA's iconic posts over twenty years ago.

I remember when monkeu finally made it to the US and got to see his precious GSW in person and everyone was like "congrats monkeu we're happy for you but we're still banning the three sockpuppets you blew to post this"

I dunno how he got stuck on GSW, but basketball watching is apparently pretty popular in Australia (I mean the NBA), going by a quick google. It's one of the most popular team sports there apparently.

i got massively stuck in that game in a way that i couldn't finish the final battle and i don't remember how

it's trivial to accidentally turn on extra super hard boss mode for the final fight by having innocuous town conversations early in the game, so that was probably it

I can almost understand it if it's prestige stuff you previously had to earn via gameplay achievements -- like, it's still pretty sad to be hung up on, but I can sort of get the logic of "what the gently caress, I spent weeks beating the Challenge of the Fartlord to get this cosmetic, and now any random dipshit can buy it for $20?" -- but I think the stuff I was looking at was never even gated by anything but money, by buying trading cards or whatever? So it was purely "people who pay less for the same thing I have are stealing from me and devaluing my purchase."

That’s correct. They just gradually readded them into the game in various ways for players.

another later wow mod scandal had someone who worked on an extremely popular user interface overhaul (elvui) add a backdoor so she/he could send commands to take over the game of anyone else using the overhaul that she/he didn't like to make them pass gear to him/her, quit groups, a bunch of poo poo.

The AI voice thing came and went already but there was one channel with Dagoth-Ur and the Nerevarine as like roommates/lovers that was pretty funny. Something about Dagoth-Ur complaining about getting scammed by crypto is inherently funny to me for some reason lol

Dagoth-Ur making the Nerevarine his lover is text. He’s pretty explicit about it in the game already.

These deaths and their circumstances are all extremely explainable! There's no mystery about any of them!!

Dear youtueb, I enjoyed it the first couple times, but stop autoplaying Dan Olsen's latest after every other video, thanks.

you'd think youtube, which has literally the history of every video i've ever watched on their platform, would know that no i don't want to be recommended something i've already watched, especially as a play next

e: okay actually it doesn't, i delete ben shapiro or whatever when cspam gets me to hatewatch it but you get what i mean
