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

"Vulture media company CEO", yeah, maybe fifteen years ago. There's not a company left on the planet that would pay for SA at this point.

I imagine it was just a scare tactic to get Jeffrey to put up more money.

You're probably right. He's not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed and it's a common trick.

 

[Humble Shitpost Merchant]

So it turns out goons don't really have any problem with giving bags of money to Lowtax. It was the only sane choice when you think about it. Otherwise SA would have been acquired by a vulture media company... Hey don't question the tortured logic, Jeffrey is the only option, ok?

That's clearly bullshit because the last few weeks have proven goons don't need the forums at all. There's no community left to speak of, just hang out with the few people you're still able to tolerate on discord. They were fully prepared to let this shit die, but I guess the impulse to toss money at Lowtax was too strong.

TBF Univision bought Gawker after Hulkamania ran wild on them. Yahoo bought Tumblr (and then Version bought Yahoo)
Corporate execs who should know better have definitely made dumber moves.

(Though I have feeling any legal team vetting the deal would look at two decades of very unwoke posting and immediately hit the kill switch as fast and hard as humanly lawyerly possible)

The OP (really fucking long, but has everything.. from here, etc.) of the stickied post in GBS:
Yikeseroo Lowtax accused of domestic violence again? This time by SA admin?
is a good follow. It gets updated with the latest announcements and shit at the bottom of its first post.



Edit: for some info, that is the original "yikes" thread that's been around since the shit went down, it's huge, it's just locked now and the OP gets updated as things progress. Again, the First Post is a good follow.. not the thread.

"Goon spaces". Sooo important.

The ideal goon space is a padded room, with easy to wipe surfaces and a fiesta cat poster on the wall.

I feel for some of them, the ones who celebrate and plot political violence as they larp in their gated communities, the ideal space would be a shallow ditch in the boonies.

And a magic mirror that shows you as an anime girl in an NKVD uniform

Agreed. This is a clear sign that Lowtax is holding onto the forums and goons had better get used to it.

Suck on that shriveled, deformed, walnut-like testicle harder goons you fucking worthless pieces of shit!

I guess it’s actually happening?

Rich Kyanka lie detector. If at any point in the post he says "muh back" "muh neck" "muh pain" he is fucking lying.

Actually, just if it says "Rich Kyanka" on it anywhere it's a lie.

The ideal goon space is a padded room, with easy to wipe surfaces and a fiesta cat poster on the wall.

The ideal goon space is an airtight chamber which in a few seconds will be pumped full of Zyklon B.

'Offsite drama' used to be bannable on SA - including and especially IRC.

Now the forums are directly controlled by what happens 'offsite': other forums, Facebook and especially Discord (which is essentially IRC in new clothes).

I think the erosion of applying this rule is at the core of many of SA's problems. And it happened a long time ago.

 

[BleedingGumsGriffy]

You know, even if Lowtax was 100% telling the truth and was even a really solid guy all along, I still wouldn't have a whole lot of sympathy for him for not putting his foot down regarding the tranny takeover.

Plus, he voluntarily stuck his dick in the crazy and then brought the crazy home to live with him. And she told him who she was from the very beginning. If someone tells you they have BPD (whether real or self diagnosed), it will just be a matter of time before they accuse you of abuse, all while abusing you.

The best irc drama was windows 98 sucking up to ashlii on irc and going to be a secret mod, only for a windows xp account to leak that shit lol

Also the announcement about hell dumping and doxxing rules does that mean all you goon ducks will post her under you sa user name?

 

[Ilmseil]

Watching Jeffrey be devoured by the tranny freakshows within six months tops is gonna be amazing



Here lies Jeffrey of Yospos
He wasn't gay enough

 

[augment]

Given the amount of traffic and active users (parachutes and alts not counting) I estimate Jeffrey will pay US $27.12 for the something awful forums and its deranged psychopathic tranny userbase.

Still think he's getting ripped off.

 

[TiggerNits]

Here lies Lowtax. He never got laid paid

Negative, it is a camp that stocks very little food and a large amount of sarin

 

[Ilmseil]

I think you need a bit of nerve for nerve gas to work

Goons arent the ones running the camp, otherwise it'd just have mach 3 zip-lines and tents full of shit dicks

 

[Ilmseil]

Lmao I forgot about the holocoaster zipline

We really do need to try to archive some of the funnier shit that came out of SA before it goes down for the final time

 

[augment]

It's Goonbase, only instead of a multitude of different dungeons and mishmashed crawlspaces, it's just an empty gym with bernie posters, leftover food on the floor, poopsocks and a stack of nerf mavericks. You can smell the image.
