Weary of being stung every day by the tyrannical scorpion, the frog conspired with the scorpion's downtrodden hireling and together they overthrew the scorpion. With a triumphant cry of "get out" the frog sent the scorpion packing, and crowned the heroic hireling as the frog's new ruler.

Alas, the hireling was also a scorpion.

The scorpion, laughing, suddenly feels a piercing pain, realizing it has been stung. Looking down, the scorpion realizes that this whole time, the frog was really just a scorpion in a frog disguise.

"Lol pwned." The frog-scorpion gasps out as they both slip beneath the water.

Just noticed The Great Race Space was renamed and demoted to D&D subforum status. In its place is....The Great Space Space, which as of right now has triple the number of online users browsing.

The Great Space Space is actually about stars and planets and shit, which explains its popularity.

I went searching for this thread (this post is on pg 5), and lol its great. In typical goon fashion, one dude is really fucking hung up on Yeff's use of "make you whole" .

Honestly I really liked Monstergeddon, and a ton of the other articles that were on the Front Page. I'm probably the only dumbass who went to SA for the weird articles and not for the forums.

The first couple monstergeddons were actually pretty good I'll admit. But it was running out of steam and came out like once year. IT was an amusing series of parody shitposts.
 
I really want to see Jeffrey evolve into another Isamu Fukui, just for shits and giggles. That means he'll have to put a bunch of people in front of him so he doesn't have to interface with SA anymore except to extract cash.

Then again, that might drive goons to rehabilitate Lowtax and convince him to lead a forums coup. That'll be hilarious, too.

But wait, Jeffrey might actually be the good guy here!

Man SA is a disaster.

The front page articles on SA haven't been funny in the "laugh with, rather than at" sense or even interesting as anything other than a case study in self-righteous mainstream liberal masturbation for years now, it's fucking retarded as all fuck to expect to get paid for writing that crap. That said, lol that Jeff is incapable of righting the ship that Lowtax set off course with no map, compass, anchor or adequate supplies of food and water years ago.

It's too late Jeff, you spent way too much money on something that has no real value to the non-insane and you aren't talented enough to successfully appeal to the crazy tranny nutbags without triggering them into absolutely hilarious online temper tantrums.
 
Monstergeddon started off p good but kinda loses it's air as the creators focus less on classic horror jokes mixed with forum culture and more on raging about people not liking anita sarkeesian.

I'm not sure where they think they're going to go after they destroy every last bit of Something Awful culture on the entire website in the name of remaining pure. They've already basically taken away every other reason for being there and the only reason it can even make money right now is that the users are retarded and throw money around like it's not even theirs.

As they say, perfect order reigns on cemeteries.

Something Awful could fill a niche of a pay to win forum. Everything has a price, but you can do everything if you can afford it. Register your account - 10$, post - 0.03$, post an image - 0.06$, ban someone - 100$, probate someone - 1$ for every hour, make your post immune to edition/deletion/banning - 50$, become a mod - 1000$ + 15% discount for other services etc. ad nauseum.

Who the fuck is that and what does it even mean?

Fukui is the owner of retardera, he has a whole bunch of assorted internet hangers-on between him and the userbase of the site that he gets money out of in various ways. Jeff is likely incapable of manipulating SA's Admins/Mods in the same way that Isamu Fukui has done for Reeera's which is why SA will probably and finally die in the next few years.

A bit of both. Thread favorite CascadeBeta came back under Dumper Humper and was permabanned again. Crazycloud was allowed back under condition they don't act like themselves (an unstable aggro lunatic). B+R mods like smarxist and others are back and posting.

It's amusing that Jeffrey and others trudge on as if everything is hunky-dory. They acknowledged the CSPAM/FYAD saga last year was a coordinated effort to wrest control of the site based on manufactured bullshit and playing victim. Ah well, when it comes to ideological purges everyone makes some mistakes here and there. As long as one keeps paying $5 for avatars anything can be overlooked.

Just like everyone here told him to do so... and Lowtax probably read it since he lurks here to get the grim satisfaction that he is still relevant.

Good job ignoring quality advice, Lowtax.
