also someone mentioned something about pranks and charities and stuff that have been done here. what kinds of things
goons have fundraised for a ton of stuff over the years, both in-community and out. lots of helping fellow goons with financial burdens(there's even a goon emergency fund that is active right now for people to access to pay for medical needs, bills, etc) as well as having bought body armor for soldiers, helping fundraise for people who lost everything during hurricane katrina, and other things.

pranks, well, a lot of things that have happened on the internet over the last 25 years can often ultimately be sourced back to something awful. goatse, which you've been introduced to, rickrolling(linking to a video of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" instead of whatever the person said the link was going to be), goonswarm, 4chan, president donald trump, SA has been the origin of a lot of "pranks".

Moot made 4chan, but I don't think he actually ever got perma'd from sa, pretty sure he just left and never came back. Unless they spite-perma'd him at some other point down the road.

It's probably been answered in the thread, but what sort of news source did you have in the prison, since you said you got news? Was it a prison newspaper specifically, tv channels of the prison's choosing, or limited internet access to news websites?
