I gotta say, now that Something Sensitive is under new stewardship we really ought to do something big to remind everyone we exist.

In that case, doxing is suddenly no longer doxing.

When you're on the Right Side Of History (tm) doxing is called "Freedom of speech is NOT freedom from consequences" and you get to stalk them and harass friends, family, employers, etc. because they're subhuman chuds who committed wrongthink.

Of course when they do it back to you, or when the "Nazis" respond to getting punched by revving up the Dodge Challenger, it suddenly becomes the worst form of evil because God forbid your actions have consequences.

While the moderation is horrendous on Something Awful, the banme posts are usually pretty funny as a result. A poster's last stand, cigarette in mouth "ban me you fuck".

There was one goon a few months back who spammed reports on Lowtax’s now-suspended Twitter account until one went through and Lowtax got banned for three days. A screenshot of the report-accepted message appeared in SA’s “PYF Funny Picture” thread, and the goon who did it never reregged.

The funniest post of 2019.

There's no point in Doxxing mods anymore. The FAU dox would only be for chuckles here and on what's left of SS; FAU obviously has no life to destroy.

Well it's real good at making them feel unsafe, but so is sunshine and open spaces. Either way, not a lot of laughs to be had.

Meanwhile, the traditional games board has one of these threads where they larp e-Stasi in finding wrongthink.

Pretty much lifelong gamer here. Rpg's, boardgames, wargames. I always thought how great it would be when gaming was accepted by the mainstream. Now that I see the kind of people it emboldens I don't think I could have been any more mistaken.

These people are so fucked up its beyond belief at times. The way they use "fash"...how fucking annoying.

I feel like the OP should be reflected to show that news from a few weeks ago that the site's financially on its last legs.

On topic, the paywall to access the forums went down so I took a peek at some of the LPs that are ongoing, the Shadowrun Dragonfall one in particular. That's been a really good LP, I hope that person can finish Dragonfall and get it archived before the site dies.

What's that? I thought the site was still chugging along but it was Low-T that was threatening to pull the plug because of his surgery bills and crippling dependency on pills, hence the fundraisers for him/"the site".

I will pour some nice scotch when SA finally dies. It should have been dead years ago. All those donations that Lowtax got recently are just like enabling a drug addict - doesn't solve the root problem and Lowtax doesn't have to acknowledge and correct his mistakes.

99% chance FAU and all the other purple haired tranny feminists that run SA will open a spinoff forum that will be even worse.

When he finally realizes the time has come, he should try to take advantage of goon stupidity and sell the site to them. I'm sure many of them have kindly aunts and grandparents that they can swindle to raise the cash.

And let's be honest, it's not like they're going to get a CPA to do a business valuation for them. They'll take LowT at his word so he can wring every bit of water out of that sponge.
