Something Awful and Friends - The roller-coaster train-wreck embarrassing downfall of a Web 1.0 giant and its tick offspring like from Cloverfield

[Lowtax]

Do you like @Lowtax's children?
Now you can watch them play video games on YouTube!
That's right, for a one-time registration fee of US$9.95 for viewing privileges and full access to their crayon drawings archive, you can watch underaged half-breed orientals play shitty video games!

Eh, you're reading too much into it. It was just a fun thing my daughter liked to do with me and people seemed to enjoy the videos, so we do them occasionally (like once a month) when we feel like it. Also my kids are pretty good artists, so that $9.95 fee would be way worth it. Check it:

PS: my kids aren't "half breeds," my ex was from Kansas.

Doctor Jizzmopper, your campaign to rate every single one of my posts and replies "autistic" seems rather... autistic.

They're definitely half-breeds in that case.

Okay, you got me there. Excellent point; Kansas is a fucking hellhole.

Maybe it's the fact they paid money to join a forum so have some kind of cognitive bias?

Leftist SJWs demand censorship of dissent everywhere they go.

@Lowtax
How long do you think that Chipcheezum will be able to cope with the neurotic mess that is Voidburger? Will she cut holes in their condoms to trap him with her via pregnancy? Will his meek personality and cuck-like qualities bind him to her for fear of the social fallout should they break-up, given their shared friend circles?

@Doctor Jizzmopper deserves a new avatar. I'm thinking something along the lines of this:

How much of a donation would it take for you to reinstate the hellthread?

Probably back to mine Kiwifarms threads for content like he did the Brianna Wu thread, I mean to just post and joke around.

Upvoting every one of Lowtax's post on his profile page isn't much better, Asterisk. And he won't make you a mod.

Very much involved in my own forum, I'm just not actively posting on there. Doing a lot of backend work, trying to get a cost and time estimate to move everything from our old ass piece of shit vB software to xenForo.

Uh, what did I do now? I "mined your forums for content like in the Brianna Wu thread?" Can you please explain to me how and what I did to make you think that?

And if it fails, you can always get work as a Patton Oswalt stunt double.

That certainly is quite the accomplishment, writing more words about some untalented sasquatch looking bitch who tries to make video games than a dude who murdered millions. Kudos!

Regardless, I didn't mine dick from shit and was somehow able to form my own opinions regarding her/him/it on my own. Occasionally I am able to use my limited brain power to think of things all by myself, which I guess might surprised some people since I'm like a fucking thousand years old.

He's trying to be a popular game streamer/social media personality now and is super salty twitter won't verify his account.

Hahahahaha what

If him getting fucked with was such a huge issue with his life he would just stop running SA entirely. It's just his strategy of getting people to feel bad for fucking with him when he should just expect it to be an off and on thing at this point.

Well I was more under the impression that I was trying to say, "I don't give a shit if you insult me, people have been doing that for 16 years now, just please leave my kids out of it when I'm doing something with them to have fun." Do you really believe it's that outrageous to ask folks to not threaten to rape a 10-year old girl when she and I are making fun of bad videogames? I know edgelords will do anything for a reaction, but seriously, it's kinda out of bounds to say you're going to rape and murder a 10-year old. And don't give me that BS of "oh, she's on the internet, she's fair game." That doesn't justify anything. Lauren asks to do the livestreams with me because she loves doing them and being with me and showing her friends them, and it's really not asking too much to at least temporarily bite your tongue and resist the urge to let my daughter know you plan on raping and killing her during the stream. Feel free to post those kind of things here or on SS, Dr. Jizzmopper probably can give you a FAQ on it.

This dude is asking the real questions. I'm guessing the second option, only because I can already view Voidburgers future tweet: "Ugh, tried to replay Wonderful 101, but it reminded me of my ex, having anxiety attack weehhhhh ;_;" I swear, she was great in that retsupurae God Hates Poochyenas, but her twitter is mind-numbingly awful.

@Lowtax , do you still have that kick-ass GTR?

The problem is no potential new user wants to spend their time corresponding with goons. Goons embody every negative stereotype of the typical unsavory web dweller. Neckbeards, bronies, furfags, pedos, you name it and SA's got em in spades.

To pay to talk to a collection of misanthropes like that? Jesus.

Yes, our forum which had a furry concentration camp that ended up giving all known furries the Star of Yiff and then confining them to one single forum before we turned the gas on there and banned them all absolutely LOVES furries. And pedos, yeah we love them too, which is why we've banned every single pedo we've found and even launched raids to shut down reddit's pedo shit years ago. And bronies, who I ban on site, love em too.

I know sensationalism trumps actual facts on this forum, but a lot of you guys are waaaayyyy off with your preconceived notions and "well I read it on another site so it must be true" method of thinking. I don't expect to convince anybody here otherwise, but I'd still like to write my side of the story and opinion to try to at least balance out all this misinformation drilled into this place.

that is amazing. i never used your forums but thats some good shit right there. how did you flush out the bronies and furries (they're equally pedos) from their hiding. we have them here and they seem to be too comfortable. how do you track down the ones that hide it better than the others?

I'll never understand why he hands that site over to the biggest fucking weirdos you could find. Like why the fuck was Ozma running your supposed comedy forum for half a decade? Why was some power-hungry autist like Ralp given full control? Lowtax loves to blame the decline of his site on "forums dying in general" (which is not true) but most of the damage to SA has been self-inflicted.

GBS was low quality but it was pretty much the only place you could make jokes about things happening on the site. But if running more users off to other outlets and reducing revenue is the strategy, well done!

Can you please name me a point in time where we had mods and admins you consider to be "good" and "not the biggest fucking weirdos"? Whenever people complain about the mods and admins, it ends up being this laundry list of seemingly incompetent morons who never knew what they were doing ever, and there's seemingly no period of time in which we did not employ these destroyers of the forums. If the administrative team has always been so reliably incompetent, how did the forums ever get to where they got?

@Lowtax , do you still have that kick-ass GTR?

HELL

YES
