I like the goons that I've met. Mostly just goons in Chicago, but everybody was fun to hang out with. Also got donations of nice baby furniture from various awesome goons when we were expecting our kid. People would even drop it off because I didn't have a car.

Tuxedo Gin posted:Not as awful as the GBS threads themselves. This was the dark ages of the forums. GBS was nothing but RSS feeds, catlady approved political opinions, and really unfunny PYF poo poo that got posted every 3 months. I think you are mixing up time periods - the negativity of helldump drove people to only make threads like that lest they be mocked. Helldump was the cause not the response. No one posted helldump threads about GBS threads like "d-list celebrity said something mildly racist" and "pyf cartoons", so those are the sorts of threads that survived. But that is the past, 2014 GBS is the best GBS has been in a long time so lets have fun here instead of dwelling on it.

helldump was great when it started, but then it ran out of a good targets and started to feed on it itself and choosing people who once posted "i like sonic the game" and outing them as furries

I believe most people like most parts of the forums but people are going to complain about what they don't like while not mentioning what they do like. Its like you order a burger with no pickles and get one with no pickles, you don't tell everyone how pickleless your burger was but if you order no pickles and get pickles everyone is gonna loving hear about it. Its just human nature.

Lowtax posted:Kinda mystifies me how many people here will leap at the chance to insult goons and the SA community every chance they get, yet they'll willingly continue to be a member of that community they despise so much. If you loathe this place and its members, either do something to positively change the community or leave. Nobody complains about goons as much as goons, and the self-loathing I see from the vocal minority here is perplexing. I know it's cool to never be happy or say something doesn't completely suck, but I believe this place is still one of the best moderated, funny, and enjoyable communities on the internet. I like your website, Richard. I think you did a good job. I don't know if goons in general are retards, since I only know one goon, who is myself, so my evidence is very anecdotal, but I am married and a nice guy with a doctorate and family and a good job who none the less likes to post retarded oneliners in E/N about fat women stomping on pet spiders (there's a thread like that) from my phone when I'm bored on the train, so for all I know most goons are pretty normal and not as fail as we all like to pretend. Well that's my two cents. Thanks. Bye. Oh yeah and that one goon who kept posting selfies with their retarded scrunched up face for attention was p. fail.

it's self deprecating humor mainly and that's generally fine. but then some people on here run poo poo into the ground and others take it seriously.

We're actually all very health normal burly hardboiled swole alpha men around here. We just need to always deprecate people or else it's a sign of weakness. And so that's why we have giant urination sessions where we just piss on everyone so we can assert dominance and that's why GBS smells strongly. To outsiders, it appears as if GBS is in a state of hateful chaos. But to us, it's called home and we don't even notice the the stench

TOILETLORD posted:whoah you a mod? No, the rear end is on me. It's my own rear end. It's not an rear end I "own" in the sense that it is attached to a real small child that is itself my property. But I can see how the grammatical ambiguity of my sentence might lead you to think otherwise, and wonder whether or not I was a pedophile, like Aatrek, a former mod here.

the paradox threads are real good, b/c people like to have fun instead of have fits about how the kingdom of prussia is far too small by historical standards. and sometimes cool mods happen.

A positive thought is that I enjoy playing video games with people who also use this forum. Sure some goons get spazzy as gently caress about video games but I've met some chill people over the years that I enjoy gaming with.
