Yes. Waay back in the day there was a rule about no "call outs" as in no flaming for beefing with fellow goons.

Now it used to be people would idle in IRC (now its discord). When someone would express a bad opinion they would organize a plan to shut a thread down.

Basically people would dog pile into a thread shit post, and then a mod would show up saying "wow this place is shit gas the thread"

So the forum is down to alittle over 3000 active users shit is now more in the open. So a goon will say the people posting any other UKraine war thread are communist/nazi/fascists' (this weirdly applies to all sides) So they do the concern trolling thing about posting blood lust. Remember you can call for elon the chud to die, but enjoying twitter videos of people being blow up is blood lust!

But yes goons keep lists and shit.

There was a specific rule about 'importing IRC drama' - if anyone was suspected of doing that, it was a ban.
 
The IRC beef came about because Lowtax joined the "official at that time" channel and he got kicked out because the retard OP confused him with another fakeposting idiot. Rather than extend the olive branch, Lowtax did what he did best and violently decided to scour and sweep any mention of the IRC clique off the forums. I wasn't there personally but I saw the bannings taking place.

Interesting

Because starters beta max and windows 98 hung out in an irc to become mods

That opened my eyes to alot of offsite organizing

There was also the whole thing with Al, who was 24/7 in IRC and also an admin on SA, until he ended up giving admin access to a goon he was fuckin' [who, confusingly, had the username Admin] and said goon proceeded to do a bunch of damage to the forums.

And then there was the short-lived "official SA IRC channel" #sa, which became disaffiliated when Lowtax got an email from some goon who was having tech issues with IRC. Despite the great big channel header explicitly saying "Do NOT contact Lowtax for anything related to this channel" he still melted down at the people running it, for free, on his behalf.

I miss Kyoon, he was one of my favourite schizo posters. Does anybody know if he still pops up with his stolen credit cards, or are the forums too dead and gay for literal schizoposting?

He pops up on reddit r/conspiracy occasionally. Probably posts on 4chan and every other site he gets unbanned from.
 
I was there 13 years ago when the tumblr's came

I'm amazed that LUELinks was still around nearly 20 years after CJayC quarantined LUE. Also amazed at all the emptyquoting, gifs, and copypasta in that SA thread. 10 years ago mods would've probated everyone in the thread for low content spam.
