She won't last. The "I was only pretending to be mad and I have plans, secret, super plans," doesn't work.

There isn't any issue with having a plan and presenting it. In fact, it's encouraged to do so with your target audience. But Logan isn't an actual marketing manager, and her plans end at the tip of lowtax's dick. She has no credentials, she has no experience, and she clearly doesn't understand the product she's going to attempt to shill.

This is the kind of "don't worry just trust me shit" ZDR pulled right before he took Rich's money and disappeared. I assume he didn't sleep with Rich to get it first though...
 
I don't even know what to say. This marketing guru is going to try to focus on the part of SA that doesn't generate any money? SA has always and will always be the forums. That brief tangle with popularity the front page had was coincidental, the internet was starved for content and there were few other platforms for content creators.

I'm sure today's 13 year olds are going to just go apeshit for 1000+ word articles about esoteric unfunny garbage and then go hang out in discords full of maladjusted middle aged failures.

Lord knows it won't be for said middle aged failure's lack of trying when 13 years olds are at stake!

Is it still a bannable offense to say "There's a front page?"

And yeah, anyone who knows anything about Gen Z knows that they're by and large not too keen on a bunch of insane trannies throwing their weight around. If our "marketing guru" actually did make the site appeal to a younger audience, the troon squad would have a conniption fit. Wrongthink as far as the eye can see.

Many years ago the Chicago Reader made exactly the same mistake and regarded its Straight Dope Message Board as a way to funnel people to its artcles. Like SA, it failed to realise that it was the community itself which created the value, and it drove all the interesting, funny, and expert posters away.

Both sites had their heyday during a time when it was expensive to operate websites and forums. I'm not sure it's possible to recreate the same kind of influence when funny, interesting and expert posters now have so many platforms available to them. Why provide content for someone else when you could monetise it for yourself?
 
What would the appeal even be? Why the fuck would a kid want to ditch their current internet and go back in time 20 years? There's no one on earth that age who'd even care about the "classic" threads especially not since the images are gone now too.

After investing 100+ hours reading ancient threads that aren't even funny anymore they would then be primed to post about communism with some trannies.

Delete the front page, close the forums, hire some edgy idiot kids to get that old energy back and completely ban any serious posting.

Bogan's Twitter apparently counts as "offsite shit", even when she's talking about SA.

Yes, Dickard's idiot cunt whore is pissing off the troons!

Completely confusing as hell and I had no idea what or why triggered that, until I realized that was it, just bringing up the fact it's an insane dickgirl in a dress was supposed to be his Drumpf card and shut down the argument somehow.

That is really currently SA, if you just say you chopped your cock off you automatically win the argument. Didn't you get the memo?

Jesus Christ you just offered better branding and business advice to LowT in seconds than he received in decades from anyone else.

Prester Jane has been an internet warrior for a lot fucking longer than Logan Day has, with the result that this is like watching one of those MMA fights between a woman and a mondo troon.

"He's hurting her. This is great."

Prester Jane started his/her posting career on SA as Prester John talking about the insane cult-like family he grew up in. I will hand it to Prester John/Jane he/she was one of the few people to realize just how bad Hillary Clinton was when D&D feel in line for Cliton back in 2015 or so.

I hope she gets whatever money he's saved first, preferably in stacks of Benjamins, because that would be hilarious. Oh wait, lol, I just suggested Dickard actually saved anything. Forgive me.
 
speaking of all the goon MMORPG and <Goon Squad> posting from two pages ago, does anyone have the full story on the time YOGSCAST (podcast that grew out of SA's wow guild) scammed almost half a million dollars from goons?

TLDR: How to scam 12 year old fanbase
  • Set up a kickstarter for a minecraft clone
  • When kickstarter is finished, immediately take a large percentage of the money for "business reasons"
  • Give the remaining to some no-name studio with no prior projects
  • When people complain, get some other company to offer everyone ANOTHER EARLY ACCESS MINECRAFT CLONE
Also: Get really mad at gamergate, scream at (now cancer inflicted) ex-friend John Bain and dox 11 year olds on twitter while somehow maintaining moral high ground

E: Also get in on that lucrative underage pussay like Sjin and Ridgedog
