Well, at least they didn't send you to bed without dinner!
Hope you got 10bux
>Hope you got ::10bux::
Fixed.
something awful might have its' flaws, but it's the best we have for what it does.
I said probated.
Probations over.
Back to SA I go.
Silly communist anonymous forum users.
If i'm spending $10$25$40$50 on a forum I might as well subscibe to The Well and have actual intelligent discussion.
>something awful might have its' flaws, but it's the best we have for what it does.
i'm not so sure about that... paypal is much more efficient at scamming rich kids... and /b/ does a better job of keeping /b/tards busy... unless something awful does something else that i'm not thinking of...
It's pretty good at sending kids to bed without dinner.
Seriously, you people pay money to be treated like little kids and sent on "probation"?
>>13 Their memes can't be too stupid, they're universally adopted; which is a distinction that iichan and 4-ch cannot claim.
>>13
Actually, they're pretty ruthless about stomping an overused meme to death once it's overstayed its funny. A lot of 'net communities could learn from that.
Yes, what communities need is Authorities who make sure people act in a proper fashion!
So was it somethingawful that brought Chuck Norris back to life? Fuck him and that miserable site, if that's the case!
Says who? emo kids who only watch and listen to the most obscure thing they can find (which they ditch as soon as two other people like the same thing)?
Popularity says that a number of people think that something has enough quality to find interesting and amusing. If SA can - consistently over the course of 5 years- produce meme after meme then they are most probably producing quality content.
Don't forget that 4-ch/iichan came from 4chan which came from...? That's right; the anime board on SA.
4-ch came from world2ch which came from 2ch.
iichan came from 4chan which was made by goons, but the idea came from 2chan. iichan's popularity is due to the fact that it is a 2chan style imageboard without the SA/4chan "lololol i jst permab& j00" mods.
To be nitpicking, 4-ch comes from 2ch with a nod to world2ch along the way. world4ch, on the other hand... Well, I don't think anyone can figure out what the hell the deal is with THAT.
>>21
I was mistaken about the connection between 4-ch and iichan; but that doesn't detract that much from my point. 4chan popularised the 2chan style image board here in america, and 4chan was an extention of SA, thus demonstrating the dominating influence of SA upon the culture of the internet.
>>23
Don't forget Sturgeon's Law: 90% of everything is crap. SA may be responsible for a fair amount of the culture of the internet, but the culture for which it is responsible falls in the "crap" category. Personally, I try to ignore anything that came from SA, just because reading stupid stuff makes me feel stupid.
Also, I don't give two shits about who formed 4-ch or what was on their mind when they did it. The site is only worth visiting because of its users, and personally I found the site for reasons having nothing at all to do with SA. The site simply happens to provide a place where users can post good content. (With the owner's brilliant idea of making tripfags moderators, the site may soon fail to provide even that, but we'll see.)
>>24
However, SA provides forums where they rigourously weed out the troublemakers and idiots and in the end the remaining posts (apart from FYAD and GBS) end up being of higher quality content then those that you find on non-SA boards. The influence is simply a reflection of quality.
Of course, if reading stupid stuff makes you feel stupid, I have to wonder what you're doing here in /dqn to begin with.
SA forums are pretty much open at this time (some of its sections are.) Try taking a look and judge for yourself. Of course SA, like Japan, only shows what they want you to show. ;]
>>26 actually, it's pretty well known they don't want you to see a number of the better boards without paying for them. Of course, if seeing the free boards isn't enough to convince you of the quality of the goon community, I don't know what to tell you.
Hahaha, for once the September dates are truly appropriate.
>>25
There are multiple kinds of stupid. There's stupid that's funny, and then there's stupid that attempts to be funny and fails miserably. SA consists mostly of the latter from what I've seen. Furthermore, on /dqn/, everyone seems to get the irony. SA goons, on the other hand... well, they seem to be like this: http://benlybenis.com/archives/344
"Tripfags" have been moderators all along, genius. Maybe you should try to find some better way to judge people than basing it on whether they use a name or not.
>>33-34
Wouldn't last 10 seconds on DQN.
Only real men can post on SA!
Until they get sent to bed without dinner, anyway.
This is a sad thread.
(;-;)
Moot was banned from SA after founding 4chan (not as a result of), and 4chan has no ties whatsoever to SA. Saying 4chan is a product of SA is the same as saying America is a product of Puritans.
>>41
Moot was banned from SA
>>42
moot was banned from SA?
moot sucks and SA sucks
I AM A PRODUCT OF CAPITALISM INDIVIDUALISM I WANT TO BUY THINGS AND WATCH MOVIES WHERE WOMEN KICK ASS
