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

[Ghostse]

Something Awful convinced me bitcoin was a waste of time and I'll never forgive them for that. It was worth to learn to do the opposite of what they say.

unless you are buying drugs or child sex slaves, you'd have a bit of a time turning buttcoin into tangible wealth.

I had a coworker who made a couple million on Crypto. Rather than cash it out, he pulled the bulk of his assets into LUNA stable coin ahead of the IRS tax rules going into place. The stable coin was then drained due to a 51% node take over on an underlying asset coin and it all went to zero and he still had to pay taxes on some of the transfer. It was pretty lol.
And zero lessons were learns, just moved some money into his coinbase account and is chasing recovering those gains.

I heard he stuck it to the goon's kid, not his wife,

Was the kid Burt Sexual's daughter that BS shared creepshots of?

I don't remember. I wasn't active. I got my information second hand from the few goons I keep in random contact with. All I remember is it got swept pretty quickly.

And it's still a total scam that hinges it's entire value on other retards being more retarded than the previous retards and buying it off you.

I'd ask what kind of job could be held by someone who presented themselves like that, and then I remember the guy who lived in a literal dirt crawl space beneath a house with a couple of strung lightbulbs, a CRT monitor and not much else.

Early goons were feral as fuck all.

He worked/works in IT

I feel like current year posters would be reduced to tears if they found themselves on old SA

I remember when posting memes or otherwise low effort posts resulted in a dozen people calling you a dumb faggot.

I said it a few times before, but current SA is exactly the kind of thing old-school SA would shred mercilessly on the front page.

But don't you know? They grew up. (legit something I heard back like 10+ years ago when I pointed out how stupid they were starting to act)

They used to be crude and immature boys but they grew up and blossomed into mature and refined ladies.

Seethe chuds.

There's a front page?

 

[Samuel Fuller]

There's a front page?

Once upon a time there was.

Current day SA would call having front page articles cringe and unwarranted opinions worth banning for, as anyone who's seen the "coin-operated motorised Donald Duck ride" rant would know.
There was also an apology for fursecution that got taken down as one of Lowtax's last acts before being forced to surrender site ownership.

 

[Henri Barbusse]

There's a front page?

There is and the most recent article is "Dear furries, we were wrong"

 

[Shotgun Badger]

Seriously believed someone would surrender tens of thousands of dollars to protect thier ecred and posting career.

Dumb question... but did they?

But don't you know? They grew up. (legit something I heard back like 10+ years ago when I pointed out how stupid they were starting to act)

The important thing to remember with Goons is that they didn't grow up, they just got old.
