Magenta alert

Posted by Ah Pook on February 16, 2004

A phrase used by Lowtax to make the forum-goers aware of a pedophile forum and its subsequent invasion. One of the few times you can get hundreds of goons to work together for such a noble cause.

Posted by Dacheat on June 7, 2005

When Lowtax Finds an interesting scumhole of pedophillia... He stickies the thread to the top of GBS... then its free range for forum invasions and "archiving" in order to bring down the site. Consider it a bit of "goon justice".

Posted by CorvusCorax on April 4, 2006

At one point, Magenta Alert formed into a spin-off website which actively engaged in bringing down pedophile webrings and websites. After taking down several websites for "boy-lovers" and alerting the FBI regarding a few actual kiddy porn websites, GADD kicked in.

A catchphrase that was spammed in GBS by Il Duce.

Posted by nnnnnn on February 15, 2004
this catchphrase was posted as a thread in gbs, and before receiving any replies, was promptly sent to the gas chamber.

it endures as one of the only catchphrases to be coined after being gassed.

DPPH began far back in the early days of the forums, long before user registration was required. The original description of the forum was quite witty, and basically said to the effect that there was no one looking, but please don't do something bad like post pictures of naked women within.

Of course everyone did.

Some of the very first posts in the forum were from a rather enigmatic and here-after well-liked Goon named "NotLowtax", who blessed us with quite a lot of very nice lesbian pr0n. Alas, no one every truly knew who he was, and his presence hasn't been seen in quite some time--A pity and a shame.

The forum quickly gave rise to the "Pr0n Gods" Catastrophy, Space Monkey, and several others (whom I cannot remember at the moment to save my life), offering the best in high-quality pictures the net had to offer. Eventually FTPs and the NBCi ShareHouse (see: related entry) gave rise to the sharing of movies and other assorted porn-related goods, to which we all gave cheers of thanks.

Over the years, the technology has change, as well as the posters, but the overall attitude and feel of DPPH have not--In general it is a very relaxed and easy-going forum, with the attitude that everyone's there for the common goal of getting their kit off and that there's really no sense in being an rear end.

One tradition that has thankfully mutated over the years involves the posting of idiotic and worthless threads. In the beginning, as soon as they were deemed generally worthless the threads would be filled with whatever examples of bad porn the users could find. And believe me, they could find some drat awful porn. However, today, the same threads are filled with a bounty of wonderful and beautiful pr0n, usually ending in several great torrent files filled with picture sets.

Goons are still allowed to post naked pics of their signifigant others, just not themselves. This little loophole has lead to some great things, such as 'Unclefucker.avi' and 'Unclefucker2.avi'

How to Post in BYOB

Posted by Soapy Joe on March 3, 2010
How to Post in BYOB is a WikiHow article which originated on August 25th 2007 at the following URL: http://www.wikihow.com/Post-in-BYOB
As of March 3rd 2010, the article consists of a series of five steps which the authors believe that, if followed, will result in quality BYOB posting. The steps are as follows:

1) First, be in the mood to chill. Coming into BYOB with a bad mood is a no-no

2) Lurk for fifteen minutes. Unlike FYAD, you don't need to become accepted.

3) Look at who the mods are. They change about once a month.

4) Hit the post button.

5) Write something funny!

Several threads about the article have popped up in BYOB since its publication. It has received both esteemed praise as well as the brunt of ridicule among Yobbers.

Posted by crabrock on September 20, 2004

The Yellow Yell made the original "I'm mad about" avatar for Nefarious, who was mad about buckle hats. He had it for a long time and then Scar Trek started to parody them, and he was mad about droids and zombie rape.

Then out of nowhere GBS started getting mad about all sorts of stupid poo poo and displaying it proudly. Another case of GBS taking something from fyad and smashing it into the ground and then making GBS threads on it and then overusing it until it becomes so uncool that it's cool in fyad again.

SADCHUB

Posted by HobbitGrease on February 12, 2004
An acronym for the Something Awful Direct Connect Hub. Direct Connect is a peer-to-peer file sharing program, and SADCHUB acts as both a file sharing room and as a goon chat room. It was generously created and maintained by a goon named obso, and the operators are mainly goons as well.

Further information on SADCHUB, such as the server rules, status, and address can be accessed in ADTRW in this thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/sh...threadid=481658

Posted by stub on February 12, 2004
It should be known that posting chatlogs or talking about drama that has gone on in the SADCHUB is generally frowned upon (read: not a good idea) in the forums. This should not be confused with posting IRC chatlogs, which are also frowned upon, but sometimes accepted in FYAD if they are amusing.

Posted by Ultramega OK on February 13, 2004
Talking about the SADCHUB outside of its ADTRW thread is frowned upon greatly, and can result in a ban.

Posted by MotherTrucker on February 14, 2004
The SADCHUB is also home to many banned and disillusioned ex-forum members, who like to bitch about how lovely the forums are.

Posted by Evil Canadian on February 18, 2004
The SADCHUB has a very fyad-esque community and tomfoolery is often the norm. Myself and the other admins do not tolerate drama and all offenders creating such are pretty much banned on site.

The hub is semi-public, there are people on the hub who are not from SA, but in general most of its users are from here.
