Was there ever a good mod or admin of SA?
I'm probably a rare one but I thought Spookerjones (however it's spelt) was alright. Apparently he was GBS/SA incarnate with his real life personality (never met him. That's what i heard) but judging by current day GBS/SA standards of being hysterical troons and pedos that's a huge improvement.
 
the gbs reddit thread got closed but check this out

Personally I pre-emptively threaten violence to everyone I meet.
Co-incidentally I have never been in any black areas ever despite constantly talking about how much I love them.
 
Nothing much is happening right now so here's something else I found on an old drive: An archive of all the smilies, saved in November 2008! Which of these are long gone now? Probably most of them. Null pls add these to the forums thanks in gameboy advance

and the most descriptive one of what would become modern day SA:

Remember, each one of these cost some goon $20 or $30, so that means someone spent cold hard cash on this:

aka :phoneline:, so you could draw out

. I never, ever saw that used other than when goons would make fun of someone for dropping $60-90 on three emoticons so they could make a cute little scene of them talking on the phone.

Something else to mention: I found two other backups of smilies saved in November 2005 and January 2006, and when I merged the two, it replaced every single smiley from the older folders. I guess they didn't delete a single one that entire time.

484 files in this folder, go hog wild.

This smiley brings back some hideous memories. It's based on an incident at the first ever gooncamp, which brought us images like the below:

Some ur-goon brought his lumpy girlfriend along to lord it over the other goons (in the land of permavirgins, the man with the fat, ugly crazy gf is king), this couple may be the ones breaking the chair in the middle picture above but I'm not 100% sure. That night, they had sex in their tent. However, they left their camping lantern on, which projected their activity in shadow-puppet form on the wall of their tent. That and the excessive amount of noise they were making meant their little show attracted quite a crowd. It soon became apparent that they were engaged in ass-to-mouth and that she was *really* into sucking her own shit off his dick.

indeed.

Lmao goons. Fat. Fatties watching other fatties have super fat sex and jerking off to their fat noises.
 
Yep. At one of them there were a couple of guys that kept leaping over people's heads, high fiving each other, and yelling "HO CHECK!" at the top of their lungs. Lowtax was so incredibly annoyed by this that he banned them both when he got home.

Also, at some other incident, Lowtax got off a plane to meet some goons and one of them presented him with a boxed copy of Linux like he was offering up the holy grail.
