Goddamn, there's a bunch of current content on the front page. Fuckin' Zack Parsons tapped some lorem ipsum bullshit I forgot how much he sucks

I remember when he made serious attempts to be a writer and it completely failed. Good times.
 
It's strange. In his hentai reviews he actually reviews them like games and doesn't spend every paragraph whining about how "Ugh sexist" everything is.
I'd call him a "milkshake duck" but he's a mod and thus he's entitled to fulltime asshole tounging outside of extreme circumstances.

Zak Parsons is not a mod anymore, he and his wife quit the forums around late 2013, after he started banning people who made fun of the mod team when Aatrek was outed as a child molester. As far as I know he farts out a front page article for whatever Lowtax is paying for them, and then keeps his more popular-ish stuff like WTF D&D on an offsite blog: http://www.thebadguyswin.com/

Said blog hasn't updated since June 2018, so I guess the sole places still blessed with his Creative Output are a frontpage nobody reads and his twitter account.

Speaking of the front page, someone bought a banner ad on SA that linked to the Offensive Cereals photoshop contest on the frontpage.

Goons have proceeded to suggest solutions, some of which are viable:

Some of which involve more effort than Lowtax may be willing to give:

Electric Bugaloo starts coming off as kind of paranoid. I'm not sure what reputation Something Awful has left to salvage, that ship has sailed a long time ago:

And then proposals start to get more and more insane as shit escalates rapidly:

"Let's get a guy to sift through our shitposts all the way from 2001 and have him decide whether it's woke or broke"

"Nuke everything problematic, not just the specific link in question"

"Destroy literally everything before 2016" :O

"Hold a forum-wide referendum on the role of our problematic past"

"A fucking docu-drama detailing how we've learned and grown as a forum since then" :story: :story: :story:

I don't know what the big deal is, N-bombs still get dropped pretty routinely in current day FYAD, and Lowtax is never going to hurt his friends in FYAD. But while none of this is going to accomplish anything, I do approve of goons badgering Rich and annoying the shit out of him before he caves and 'solves' this in the laziest way possible.
 
Someone smarter than me should just take it upon themselves to make it so no DFE will hide their supposedly shameful past.
 
Welp. It begins. He's about to strip every last bit of value out of his website at the demands of the retards driving away any sliver of success he could have had remaining.

He has his Patreon, so he probably has no reason to give a fuck about SA itself as a source of income. SA has also been steadily dwindling in income, to the point where it's no longer viable in supporting an entire family.

The problem is that, his Patreon also keeps dwindling month to month.

Are you sure? Maybe with enough trannies complaining on there and facebook they could get it shut, which would be the funniest fucking thing to happen to the forums in forever.
 
To be fair its hard to defend edgy faggot photoshops, he took the easy way out and deleted it.

I wonder how far the goons can push this shit.
