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

[White Devil]

I got my $10 worth and don't regret it.

It's not my fault what the site turned into.

 

[Open Window Maniac]

Jokes on all of you; I wasn't aware of Something Awful until long after it's heyday so I had no incentive to go on there at all. Let alone spend money on it.

No one does casual sexism quite like troons:

This pastel hoodie literally makes me a woman, you're brain-dead to think a MAN could ever wear something GIRLY. Eww!

Lmao, dumb fucking goons, trust them to stupidly reveal the intense contradictions of troonery.

Joke’s on you, I registered way before he implemented the 10 bucks.

Wait, no, the joke is still on me.

Same here and yes it is.

Got to say, though, the place was fun for a time.

Times change, however.

A man so unpleasant and volatile that even the UK Megathreads can't be arsed with him.

It's very strange goons care so much about covid but not the looming heart attack from obesity that's a sure fire thing in the future.

 

[Brain Problems]

I consider the :10bux: to be a down-payment on Richard and every other brokebrained, grotesque, trooned out, commie's eventual demise. Money well spent!

 

[Spunt]

I hope my 10bux bought the 5_7 round that rattled around Lowtax's skull late last year.

The goon selfie threads were the first place I'd ever seen people over 400 pounds. Due to our decaying culture ham planets are common now but back in the early 200s they were very unusual.

everyone who gave him ten bucks was trying to buy him that bullet

 

[Pissmaster]

I fully accept the shame and ridicule for paying money to the SA forums a long time ago, but I was also a teenager so the money would have gone to something else equally retarded anyway

 

[wopirish]

My buddy bought me an account a decade ago, I never gave money to Lowtax but he paid twice for the 5.7 and boxed wine. lol

I don't fell bad about my :10bux: when I recall asshats buying custom titles for people they disagreed with, left and right. A couple of particular examples of retard come to mind.

 

[Fish Fudge]

Registered before you had to pay, back when it had torrents. It's wild that anyone registered after that.

I've always wished a spreadsheet of how much each account spent over the years would leak. I wouldn't be surprised at all if there were at least a dozen whales who've spent over five figures, with at least one guy breaking the $100,000 mark

Yeah, I thought the 10 bucks was reasonable enough for the entertainment at the time but past that hell no. Spending a ten spot to give someone red text or to swap an avatar is some top-tier stupid though. They sure think they're clever with the 'stupid newbie' default avatar.. didn't really work with me or a shitload of others.

That baby's at least in his 20s by now

It's also ironically more prolific than Lowtax now. Wonder if that baby ever realized it was used for an avatar..

At the height of the Third FYAD vs GBS fatwa, there were several regular posters slinging around spreadsheets with choice quotes and "grudge keepers" who bought red custom titles against whatever sub-faction or tribal circlejerk they were respoding to. The last plateau and downfall of the whole of BYOB in particular, where rejects from every forum imaginable thrived, was host to some of the unfunniest and most pathetic creatures you could imagine.
