I just found out that there's an offsite forum for brony goons.

They have a selfie thread and it's just like you'd expect. For example:

Yeah, I'm liking it. Anyone the SA mods were jealous of is fine by me. It's nice to see all the good posters gather in one place rather than just disappearing because unfunny fuckers drove them away.

Not sure if I'll join, I'll just keep lurking for now.
 
Let's see how lowtax's patreon is doing. After 3 weeks has he reached his $300 goal?

A bunch of people on SA said they'd gladly give $5 or $10 a month to an SA forum patreon but wouldn't give anything for gaming garbage and laughed at it. It's amazing how much lowtax resents making a living off the forums.

Didn't Lowtax get an offer for a few million back when SA was culturally relevant and he turned it down?

So many numbers have been thrown around but I'm sure he got an offer for at least one million. Lowtax was clearing something like $30,000 a month during the site's heyday and probably thought it would last forever.

I remember when the forums raised so much money for Katrina victims in such a short amount of time that PayPal assumed they were committing fraud and prevented the donation.

Now all that's left are a bunch of Troons saving up for SRS and furry porn commissions, not to mention retards who majored in feminist flower arrangement in college and now have no expendable income.
 
There's a poster in GBS that literally thinks all the Trump avatar posters are a 4chan psyop to troll Hilary supporters by buying SA accounts with new/old regdates using bitcoins.

I just love how there's always some conspiracy goon that believes SA is relevant enough to be worth paying to join or buy avs/titles for people or decide that's the first place the bad guys are gonna come to spread influence or something. Instead of something free and popular like reddit.

Some of my favorite bizarre goons to laugh at would have to be the anti-car spergs who tend to show up when cars and driving are mentioned anywhere outside of AI. They'll pop up and insist that driving is something that absolutely nobody enjoys, nobody should be allowed to own anything that is more powerful or sporty than a prius. How there's absolutely no excuse to own anything other than a plug-in electric car. How ownership of a pickup truck should be strictly limited to corporate/government groups, etc.

I remember the first time I saw one of them come into a thread and freak out. (Pretty sure it was Kozmonaut, but there's more that one of them), he came into a totally unrelated discussion to screech about how cars and the ownership of them needs to be absolutely forbidden in the US, because we have trains and public buses. Someone mentioned that not everyone lives in a metropolitan area, and that that just isn't feasible.

The reply was basically that "Cities are the future, you have no excuse to live anywhere else. I don't care if you're a farmer, factory worker, etc. Sorry, move your ass into an urban apartment right the fuck now and walk or ride the bus to an office or you deserve to starve to death you stupid republican fuck!"

I can't even remember what the original discussion was about, but it's just so weird to have one of these guys pop in and wish death on you because you offhandedly mention driving to work that morning or helping a friend move or something. That wasn't the only time I saw those guys attack people either.
 
If they want an SA patreon, if they're being fair with it they should arrange it so that subscriptions are automatically canceled when the corresponding account is banned.

See what that does for their numbers.

It'd result in Lowtax reigning in his admins a lot more, which I'm 100% in favor of.
