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

Could someone screencap or otherwise mirror the content of SAclopedia? I'd like to read it but I don't want to give tenbux to an online police state.

That's another thing that shits me, SA has a fuck-ton of history on it and its mostly hidden.

 

[whatever I feel like]

I liked forums cancer, but only in the sense that it was fucking with the awful FYAD-lites. Lowtax should have (and still should) just manned up and closed those subforums.

I'd like to know more about the various in-jokes over the years, which is hinted at by the more cryptic emoticons and references. Also, to get an idea o what the site was like before it got pozzed.

SAclopedia is huge and filled with a ton of bullshit and conflicting information. It's probably better if you specify certain topics you're interested in.

Well for starters what is up with that :gooncamp: emote? The one with the tent? I always wondered what the story was.

Well here are the entries for Gooncamp. (Special guest appearance by Fire)

Spoiler: Camping

Gooncamps were meetups famous for everyone getting drunk and doing stupid shit outside rather than in a basement. I know one got cancelled because of getting reported for drugs. And if I remember right, another was basically a mud pit because of rain and poor choice of campsite.

I know the emote comes from one of the gooncamps where a goon and goonette went ass to mouth in a tent, oblivious to all the others gathered around outside listening
(and possibly watching their silhouettes through the lit tent as well). Somewhere there were a bunch of pics of the camp, and someone pointed out the goons involved. Neither were exactly easy on the eyes which made the story all the more horrifying.

In like, 2003 or something there was a SA meetup where goons went camping together. Two people ended up having loud anal sex in their tent while other goons gathered around to gawk at the spectacle. I believe these classic pictures were from the same meetup:

GBS currently has a CWC thread. It's managed to survive for a couple of hours.

Fucking amazing. Any other classic stories of Goon misadventure I should know about?

Let me tell you about doobie's dog shack. There was a man from the south named doobie, he had a hot dog shack and made a kickstarter which was mocked until a mod came along to wax on about how the dog shack was inspirational. Goon opinion of the doobie dogs changed instantly and they started donating to doobie and raised 13 k for the hick in Alabama while patting themselves on the back. One goon even cancel Christmas for doobie. Slowly goons realized that this hick had no idea what he was doing and had buyer's remorse. Goon started digging through doobie's social media and weening on doobie's yelp page. Doobie dogs soon got rolled into hellthread where topics like gamergate got quarantined.

 

[The Great Citracett]

I found a gooncamp pictures thread from '06 and I'm fucking around digging for pics and stories. Most of the pics are gone, but one of the most iconic remains.

So if you want my tenbux
Then Lowtax, don't refrain
Or I'll just end up cryin'
In the cold November rain

Sometimes I need some time on my own
Sometimes I need some time all alone

 

[Sad Clown Shoe]

There are some pretty great things on SAclopedia.

There is also the legendary banme by Sigvatr who IIRC was behind the spectacular Electric Retard webcomic which hasn't quite disappeared from the internet but I don't think the original images can be found anywhere anymore.

I'm pretty sure Bexx is the goonette in question. There are pictures of her at gooncamp carrying around a large black dildo, which she nicknamed "Lunix". Then there's also pictures of a goon eating mud out of a blow up doll's asshole.
