JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

Yeah, it's pretty refreshing that nothing is significantly changing just for the sake of change. If the forums pursued Reddit style revamps where individual posts can be upvoted and every loving reply gets indented, it would pretty much kill my interest in reading.

I was going to effort post reply, but I see you've been banned for comparing probating on a forum to rape.

I'll take the twitterization of the forums over the stifling mod climate back in 2012. You know, the thing that killed this place.

:confused:

uh, we're still posting here. just because it's not the biggest platform today doesn't mean it's been "killed".

I think it would be good if we had a cheap annual subscription of $5-$10 to help defray operating costs,, but it would lead to even faster forum death cuz only a tiny fraction of current users would bother or deem it worth it to pay.

Are the operating costs a big deal at the moment? Genuinely curious, last I heard SA was doing fine financially although that was a while ago.

The better question is why you would *want* these forums to change in order to be more popular? Look at all the big social sites, and think about the forums just becoming more like them, twitter, Reddit, other, etc.

"right combination of extremely woke, terminally online, and alone/fat" is extremely stupid and dumb, but hell I'd still take it over jailbait and CHUD subreddits, the hellhole that is tweeters, or just posting thirty seconds clips about nothing for engagement bait.

they want more chuds op
