I cant even remember when i started posting on SA. My current account says 2007 but like some this isnt my first account, which has probably been perma-banned or something. Its my daily routine and i go to it for my personal interests and for commentary on intellectual matters and current events. I'm active in A/I for the most part but the forums have even been helping me with a serious personal situation. But i come from an older age of millennial who had 28.8 internet and waited all afternoon for a video to download, and cant see how in the age of reddit and google how something awful brings in enough new blood and new ideas to stay relevant. Does it matter if one is relevant on the internet? Do you just need enough members to pay and they just keep going, or do we have something special here that reddit doesn't? Is something awful a small and dying community, or is it a force to be reckoned with?

Every shitpost has minimum attached to it. Some posters are good at upping the ante.

SomethingAwful is the cool place to hang out. You can find most of the cool people there. At SomethingAwful you can just chill and do whatever and totally relax. "Take it easy" is the SomethingAwful motto, for example, that's how laid back it is there. Show up if you want to have a good time. Another good reason to show up is if you want to hang out with friends.

I come here out of habit. Even when I quit posting for a few years (during the dark times of GBS), I still lurked regularly.

Most SA posters are within my age bracket, the finance forum is the best I've seen, and all the forums as a collection are not filled with lovely memes and people using smileys every two words unironically . Plus this place helped me get out of a near-minimum wage job. The DIY/hobbies forum is great, gbs is good again since it's self-aware shitposting, etc. This place is great. Reddit sucks 4chan sucks im gay e oh and the football forum is really good too

It's the freedom of this place. I could use my horribly sardonic, twisted and, overall, dark humor in a public setting, but I don't think I would get the same results.Poetic Justice posted:the insanity This Edit: OH BTW loving awesome beer

my older brother had an account once and I'd like to think that he still posts and that we unknowingly get into anonymous slap fights but deep down I know he doesn't here post anymore.

Redditt appears to be a half finished website from 1999 with raw exposed html code and every post is a drop down menu, the purpose of which is to cause you to feel even more alienated and alone, as opposed to GBS: THE pLACE FOR CATTS!!!

The friends who got me into SA turned into military spergs and disappeared up their own asses so I bought a friend an account so I can shitpost in tandem with a friend at times. E:one is big into reddit
