The fart hole from gooncamp 2019 is rarely mentioned but easily one of my favs

I'm open to interpretation!
Before groverhaus blew up on the wider internet, somehow the biggest thing from SA for a while was the Danganronpa 2 LP I think. I didn't read it but a ton of my friends in high school did when some person mirrored it to get around the paywall.

It was quite a moment when dozens of cheapskate weaboos started complaining loudly about not being able to read an LP because at the time the game was not released in English and the goon LPer translated as he went along.

While I'm sure we helped popularize them, I'm not sure Id say one can invent "watch me play this game while I discuss/poo poo-talk it", otherwise I invented lets plays around 1996 or so

SA progenated an "awful" lot of stuff simply by virtue of the fact that until 2003 or whenever digg was founded there really werent that many large general-topic forums other than slashdot and fark which were both news focused.

If you hung around the Internet long enough you'd pretty much end up here. I read the front page for like 3 years before I even realized the forums were a thing and even then I lurked for like a year before signing up.

GameFAQs has message boards and it seemed like a natural internet gathering point. Lot of people found their way there the same as me, as a young kid who just got the internet and was using it to look up walkthroughs. It would seem like the natural place for Let's Play's to develop but wasn't.

Speaking of LPs I wonder how much boatmurdered influenced the popularity of Dwarf Fortress.

I both began playing DF and found SA entirely because of boatmurdered.

I wonder that too, how much did it influence SA membership too. I found DF through that thread and it was also the reason I forked out :10bux:

Didn't someone murder somebody on their homemade submarine or some bullshit?

The goon built the sub, but wasn't in it during the murder. He is regularly mistaken for the murderer on these forums.

Wasn’t the Deez Nutz for President campaign of 2016 inadvertently started by a goon messing with pollsters?

Unfortunate 2nd (maybe). I remember you could search the usernames people registered for shared accounts to find them talking about their Dangan Ronpa OCs (do not steal)

My general understanding is that the goon and the murderer were both part of the Copenhagen Suborbitals crowd who built the sub. The murderer and the rest of the group had a falling out, and they let him have the sub to make him gently caress off. Then some time later he did the murder.

danganronpa being the final straw to make me reg could have happened, but no one can prove it :c00lbert:
