It never ceases to be incredibly jarring to me to tab from this site and its actual modern forum features and SA, for the sheer enormity of the gap between the two; it's utterly mind boggling that SA even still runs at this point with the labyrinth of junk code and antique frankenscripts it has going on under the hood.
 
This is why you never leave your projects in the care of other people. If Lowtax had manned up and taken an active role, the current state of Something Cucked wouldn't be what it is.

Ive never understood why they think its Doxxing if you post public information or other things people have posted online. As long as you dont post someones address who gives a fuck.
 
I hate to be all dark about it, but what happens when the SA servers completely brick, the backups are corrupted (assuming there are any), and the forum code is so busted what little they can salvage looks like what happens when a MySQL server shits itself during a table import and has drunk sex with PHP in the wrong hole?

If @Null somehow managed to rm -rf this place into oblivion out of stupidity or insanity, we'd be disappointed, maybe a few would shit their pants and do nothing, but most of us would shrug and move along to the next autistic forum to sperg about idiots on the internet.

However, I've seen the level of fanatical devotion some goons have to that forum. ISIS would be jealous of how loyal some people are to that forum instead of their :autism: bastardization of Islam, and I seriously fear more than one goon would likely kill themselves in a mass suicide like in one of those hilarious SASS fanfics.

He could just start fresh. I dont know why anyone cares about the archives, theres nothing good in that shitpile anyways.

It's not exactly the archives themselves. It's more that supremely autistic people have had almost 20 years to settle into an unchanging environment.

Yeah. Some people there have spent their entire adult lives in their favorite subforum and have developed into weird mutants because SA is their life. It's why Koala's March is basically feral, she was raised by Debate and Discussion.
