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

If you want to understand the process Ghostse described, go to the Goldmine (it's never paywalled), and view a thread from the glory days of SA. Notice how damn many "banned" avatars you will see. The further back you go the higher the percentage, if you go back to the contemporary 9/11 threads at least half the posters in them have since been banned. And those are the ones who were banned, not those who got sick of the place and just wandered off.

Ultimately it's down to the business model. SA only "worked" when the forums were good enough that if you got banned you were willing to put down another $10 to come back. And for a long time, they actually were, so the ban-happy moderation style was a valuable source of income. But as the place contracts into a hugbox, all it does is drive off the good posters, leaving the mess we have seen here.
 
Just look at the numbers of users in each forum these days. Debate & Discussion always has the most. C-SPAM (the retarded lowercase version of D&D) is usually 2nd. The main forum, GBS, is still also usually behind Games, which is currently dominated by a retarded lowercase "DOWN WITH CIS" All Troons All The Time crowd.

The Rapid Response Autism Squad is almost the entire forum now.

Edit: They're higher than normal now, because of the Kavanaugh hearing, but the picture is clear.

Crumbling infrastructure with no resources to fix it, populated by faux-intellectistas, ran off or eliminated all legitimately productive members.... Lowtax has become the leader of his own communist country.

Also, with all the goon virtue signaling trying to blame kiwifarms for an unrelated suicide, don't forget that FYAD ganged up and pushed a wikipedia editor into killing themselves.

Not wrong, but the same logic applies to the Troon human candle.

retard oh wait nm can't post r.etard, it triggers the chief sped.

Look at all those forbidden words I'm able to type with no mod punishment. Look at all the Kiwis who read this post, dislike its content, but don't feel the need meltdown screeching that someone dares put letters on the internet in this order. Or feel the need to go pull in posters who've never posted in this thread, and will never post in this thread again, to shit up the thread because someone posted some words they find offensive.

Goons please post screenshots of that first part with the naughty words blurred out in your thread as proof of how racist sexist KF is, and then go make fun of your aunt for using "d***" instead of damn in her facebook posts without a bit of irony or self-awareness. tia.
 
I would like to present to you a tale in three parts

An effort was made to find doxx but there's endlessly more posts and it was too gross to see a defense of skinsuit fetishism on SA and then find out that the reddit account has "would make a cute skinsuit <3" as flair. what the fuck is skinsuit fetishism.

I like how this sort of degeneracy is presented as if it's totally normal but laughing at it makes you a Nazi.
 
Buying AVs for two goons that hate each other and then making them insults one has called the other always resulted in the best fights

People would do it to this guy https://forums.somethingawful.com/banlist.php?userid=93160

all the fucking time. It was always a good laugh because he's a tremendous faggot that falls for everything. Like Chris-chan but for superhero comics

Oh yeah, Buffalo Bill fanclub member here... Nobody normal left on that site.
 
"Any moron who goes there and thinks "boy, these people are funny and this site is good, I think I should stay and post here" deserves to stay there and get the fuck off these forums."

You sure are on the nose as always @Lowtax. @Lowtax knows a quality forum when he sees it, and clearly anyone who posts on KF is garbage, isn't that right @Lowtax?
 
Sheesh, next he's gonna include a Kiwifarms link with every ban they give out. KF could be the official sponsor of bannings.
