He was specifically notified by one of the posters in the Donald Trump supporter thread (which had been repeatedly fucked with by mods and admins for pretty much the entire election). The prize that poster received several months later was a permaban for some bullshit reason. The admins and mods were very careful to hunt down everyone who posted in the Trump support thread and ban them for any reason they could come up with.
 
My favorite Helldump thread was goons.jpg a lot of horrifying shit there. Reading through it now is even funnier because a lot of the posters making tranny jokes are now trannies themselves.
 
Fuck goons who still have accounts posting shit without screenshots that require an account to see. Fucking ten buck cucks.

Mine was "Zocrowes is an Egregious Stroke" (can't find the link anywhere). A guy very into a niche diving hobby tries to call out another poster who is in the same hobby using jargon that nobody understands. It still cracks me up.

Yeah, a lot of the forums were just hidden from the main forums list rather than archived or anything similar. I remember two goons found out about this and just created a bunch of edating threads despite both being in relationships until somebody exposed them.
 
Null would make a killing if he allowed people to buy avatars for other users. It'd ruin the site but for a brief moment it'd be hilarious.
 
It's funnier when you realize pretty much everyone on SA was an edgelord and only quit because it resulted in ostracization. Now they're still perceivable as assholes, but in a way that makes them look good to their current political party.

Back in the day SA would have been so much more cutting when denouncing somewhere like here. "Trash kingdom"? What is this feeble bullshit?

The same place that told a woman who had a series of miscarriages to stop getting pregnant because her poison womb was making heaven crowded now is reduced to using grace school level insults. They're more fragile than redditors at this point.

True, most people grew out of it and moved on in life. It used to be a haven for malasjusted, cynical, anti-social youths and people in their 20s. Where they could have the discussions they couldn't have in real life.

But when one gains more friends, the need for talking to strangers online goes away. So they drop out, start families, etc. Or, they move onto other spaces where they can still make abortion jokes. Like 4chan, or facebook

Current SA goons are stuck in a weird purgatory in their 40s. They're ashamed of their younger selves, want to move on, but still can't socialize offline as they're stuck in a state of arrested development. They still hate humanity. They still can only otherwise get affirmation from bullying, but they shifted targets to modern-day chuds, the people who remind them of their own failings.

Not a single one of those people have the testicular fortitute to ever act on those threats. Assuming they even have them at this point.

SA people have been linked to multiple murders including one that was explicitly "leftist political violence," I don't think keyboard warriorism is the problem.

I also would be extremely unsurprised to find out that there's a few cases where someone murder-suicided their wife or confessed to something due to being obviously guilty so digging up and publicizing all their online accounts was never necessary, and the percentage of "white leftist people who do murders" who had SA accounts is higher than we know.
