[BlueTsunami]

She earnestly answered a question I had about Wild Arms 6, leave her alone!

[parallax]

someone should invite her

.....yeah. i dont think anyone is gonna do that. and even if they were, i doubt she would come.

[fistfulofmetal]

[parallax]

[CajoleJuice]

So who is James pressing charges on? Tyler or the girl?

[pilonv1]

harden up princess, SA forums aren't for the meek. I would post there more often but I can't remember my password

SomethingAwful is not friendly to new users at all. My avatar is a crying baby that says "Stupid Newbie", and on my user control panel, I have a message that says "No new PMs (because no one likes you)."

Sounds like $10 well spent.

Yeah, it's not a forum that fawns over some guy with a variable 140/160/90th percentile IQ just for showing up.

[archie4208]

Something Awful is an elitist site for smug neckbeards who think paying $10 makes them better than other people.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

i made out fine there 

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I like SA.  I don't really post there but I do quite a bit of lurking.  I always find something good to read there.

[Joe Molotov]

I like their Game Center CX translations.

[CajoleJuice]

The SA sports community is pretty great from what I've gathered, too. I just never wanted to pay or get involved with another forum after I joined GAF. Then EB happened, anyway.

I'd probably migrate there if I got banned from GAF. RealGM is just too dumb for my liking.

[cool breeze]

I'm not too familiar with something awful but I think that's the place to go if you actually like video games.  Or was it quarter to three.  One of those not-gaf and not-gamefaqs forums.

[pilonv1]

Quarter To Three is for people who like video games. It's more PC centric though.

[fistfulofmetal]

I could probably have some fun on SA but I doubt I would last long there.

[FatalT]

I haven't had any problems on SA. It's a good community.

Anyway, I'll be treading lightly. Apparently you can get banned pretty easily.

for someone who has been banned often from GAF, I have received only minor probations on SA despite doing my usual stuff. The mods crack down on actual shit rather than the useless stuff GAF mods will ban you over.

Basically, rules:

1. Type well
2. Don't post while drunk/high and if you do at least never admit that you are
3. Don't use catchphrases
4. Don't use "lol" or the like
5. Make every post have some amount of content. Even a sentence.

The "Stupid Newbie" et. al. is to provoke you into buying an avatar, which costs $5. And the other minor jokes are just whatever. It even compliments you on logging out. It's just an SA shtick and doesn't mean anything.


tl;dr SomethingAwful is the best forum on the Internet

[Cindi Mayweather]

I love how if you make a one word post - well, depending on the forum - you are probated on the spot

[ZephyrFate]

The Let's Play forum is an addiction. Seriously.


and yes no posts containing gifs unless they pertain to the discussion (i.e. gifs for a recently aired TV episode in its thread)

also memes can get you banned. No airplane .jpeg or whatever the fuck or anything of the sort

[fistfulofmetal]

15 dollars to post on a forum with an avatar.

yeah, no thanks.

[Cindi Mayweather]

So no replying with the Michael Jackson eating popcorn gif?

You can post the gif, but not ONLY the gif. Put some content in there. of course, it depends on the board and also the thread. some threads are lenient about it people don't give a shit because everyone's pals and shit, so a minimal content post can sometimes work.

some places like gbs...er...r/3dbabydicks...and fyad allow minimal content, particularly fyad, but you don't want to post (or read) fyad. Debate and Discussion (politics, news, education, debates;etc) is all about content. If you post a one word reply in that forum you will get a one day to one week probation.

FYAD is probably the scariest thing on the Internet

Zephyr, you paid any attention to the Cargo: Quest for Gravity Let's Play?

I saw it wasn't Cannibalk9 doing it so I was like "EH" but I haven't actually watched any of it.

It's because he's so much taller than me, isn't it?

I was disappointed, but The Void LP was fantastic and perfect because that game is fuckawesome. Cannibal_K9 couldn't do the same in-depth commentary because Cargo! isn't nearly as deep as The Void was.

Cargo! is all about stupid fun and the guys did a pretty good job of it but kind of shit on the game despite how fun it is. It's worth it to just to see how zany it is.

btw I'm Azure_Horizon over there and I LP obscure Playstation RPGs

[lennedsay]

You just had too much game, bro. I'm only turned on by guys who think I have penis.

How tall we talkin here? Cause I'm 5'3" on a good day, so I'm not picky with height.

I thought the game was good. Lacking the cohesion that made their previous products sublime, but ultimately worthwhile. Their next game seems like a return to more sombre and intricate narrative though, so I suspect that will do better for them.

I can't load the thread at the moment since I don't have an SA account, but I'll give it a whirl.

It's not a comma; it's an apostrophe.

This.

And this.

[Vertigo]

Last few pages have been hilarious that James guy what a sad sucker not only has your face been revealed but you've been accused of stalking so you get banned off of Gaf your also barred from all the other places those realpic guys gather like Tinychat. I see ShockingAlberto threw him to the wolves on there as well. You are now persona non grata. So you go from potentially making some friends to shunned by everyone in less than three weeks. That has got to fucking sting. No more meetup invites.

He must feel like chump. I especially loved reading posts from people who went to the meetup feigning shock and surprise as if they didn't want to do the same thing.
I suspect most guys there wanted to attempt a move but only one was stupid to actually go through with it.

I hope that was a valuable lesson to potential creepers on Gaf.

Haha i take no particular pleasure in seeing someone get ostracised so quickly. It just happened so fast and in front of so many people that the guy must be embarrassed as hell although it is mildy darkly amusing. 

[Phoenix Dark]

I bet this kills the GAF meet-up phase, at least outside of the typical bar meetup stuff that has always gone on. But you can probably kiss huge meetup with GAF girls goodbye. And once they stop showing up, the man nerds won't show up either. Except Puddles

Right, cool. Do you know why the site failed?
