Abstract of 'Just awful enough: the functional dysfunction of the something awful forums' posted:

The Something Awful Forums (SAF) is an online community comprised of a loosely connected federation of forums, united in a distinctive brand of humor with a focus on the quality of member contributions. In this case study we find that the site has sustained success while deviating from common conventions and norms of online communities. Humor and the quality of content contributed by SAF members foster practices that seem counterintuitive to the development of a stable and thriving community. In this case study we show how design decisions are contextual and inter-dependent and together these heuristics create a different kind of online third place that challenges common practices.

there is a nic e part where they talk about how it would be nice for sid to sleep under a peach tree after a lovely picnic of pan fried chicken and potato salad and wonderful little cream puffs and how he might rest against the trunk on a red checkered blanket and sleep off a glass or two of blackberry wine and awake refreshed and invigorated and with a chipmunk gnawing at an errant cream puff

OK that was easy. Now what? It's a 4-page PDF

Another interesting component of SAF is the lack of
internal consistency of the guiding rules. In many
instances, there is an explicit statement that the moderators
don’t care if it seems unfair:
