he is still publicly posting info about NAFEDUDE and publicly encouraging others to open a thread about him so I don't think that he is afraid, probably just lazy,
and even if someone else is to open thread about NAFEDUDE, right thing would be to credit @Lowtax for the info in OP.

I was just posting about it here because:
1) I'm not familiar with the process
2) I didn't know if this individual qualified or met the standards for a thread
3) I didn't want to make the thread myself because I'm afraid that if the autists see my name associated with it, the thread will go offtrack and just be a tribute to lol mangosteen lol

I take full responsibility, and subsequently would like to apologize for:

1) Professional Let's Players making millions of dollars by playing Minecraft or whatever other stupid ass game
2) Slenderman
3) Images with impact font captions

I truly am sorry and despise these things just as much as you, if not significantly more.

In my misguided, futile attempt to make fun of all the stupid things on the internet, I inadvertently led to the creation of much stupider things, which was never my intention. I am a horrible monster and I pray for death.

Oh but Xybourne Clock was pretty funny, so there's that.

Fragmaster dramatic readings from Games were also great, and watching CD become a hilariously stupid place for bad movie opinions like "The prequels were high art" are both pretty hilarious, too. Speaking of, make this dude a mod, because "carefully curated clown terrarium" is a pretty witty and brilliant read on the whole place.

Hey, at least you didn't make bronies! That was all 4chan's doing.

Wait... Something Awful led to the creation of 4chan...

Dear God.
 
It's also funny to me that the people who run SS never seem to actually hate SA, just enjoy poking fun, and more often than not seem to empathize with Lowtax instead of despise him.


Maybe all we need to do is run a forum full of terrible people and we'll all understand each other's plight.

In a show of support, @Lowtax, I just bought some weirdo turbo dork on SA a custom AV that I'm sure he will immediately spend $5 to get rid of

Thank you for the support, TiggerNits. To show my appreciation, I will share with you a little story that happened yesterday.

My 11-year old daughter Lauren and I were in the grocery store, and we were walking through the Mexican / ethnic food section. She looked at me and said "daddy, remember this? What's the difference between a Mexican and an elevator? An elevator can raise a child" (it was a line from the movie "The Poolboy: Drowning Out the Fury"). I immediately said "oh my god, don't repeat racist jokes in public, it's wrong and you'll get your father stabbed."

So yeah, my daughter learned how to be racist from Kevin Sorbo. Thanks Kevin.

That's a great story.

My dad taught my nephews the joke "Why did Mexico invent refried beans? Because have you ever heard of them getting anything right the first time"

We live like 10 minutes from the border, I'm all but certain he did it in an effort to get my sister's husband stabbed
 
Hey @Lowtax

Not really here to argue but while you are here...

Can you give us some more exclusive secrets about the new forum software you are commissioning?
(Libraries/extensions used, license used, cool features etc.)

Of course this all relies on the current status of the project, (considering that it's all pretty new) I'm not expecting much if you don't have it yet...

E: Ty for the info Mr. Kyanka

I shall once we've got it all mapped and planned out. Right now I'd hate to give out any information that turns out to be inaccurate because we decide to change things. I'll just say this much: PHP WILL NOT BE FUCKING USED.
