tell me about when SA was relevant, grandpa

Alright. SA was never relevant and one time Lowtax got punched in the head and another time he did a presentation at some stupid university bragging about how SA is like the number 4 website in the world for a moment. Its never had a real business plan but at one point members were clannish and devoted so they spent money on avatars and other merch but lowtax having constant mental breakdowns and having the mentally ill moderate and administrate his website took its toll because of banning / probating the content creating members that they needed. At some point every front page writer tried to hock some lovely book.

but that was a long time ago and internet standards are higher.

Also lowtax tried to cash-in let's plays way after the fact. Basically it should say Something Awful - The Internet Makes You Stupid Doing Things After the Fact Since 2008

So in summary a mentally ill person made a webiste for mentally ill people and had mentally ill moderate them.
Seems sane.

There was also a time where you Had To Be Super Articulate or some fat, yeasty cat lady would probate you and in the Leper's Colony it'd say something like -- "Try using punctuation, we aren't fark." And it would be the OP of some hilarious thread that was crushing it. Then goons would slapfight for 200+ pages about how Icequeen or whatever is doing a poo poo job and then everyone who was discussing it would get probated for "Mod Sass"
