It's not an obvious saga but it's really weird that we've gone from "image macros" to everyone's grandmother having an app to put white, black-bordered Impact over pictures

Skullmund was a bad place for bad posters

Skullmund was a pretty good place to post in like the first two or three months it existed and then holy fuckin poo poo it got bad. I can give a pretty decent oral history on this if anyone wants.

it was good out to about 9 months and ok until a year in and then *farts*

this basically. here’s the basics of it.

once the basement crew chat thread started getting shuffled around here, a lot of regular posters and associates migrated offsite to shitpost in an abandoned UK-based fishing message board called Trout and Salmon forums. One of the admins of the site finally woke up and deleted all our posts and permabanned us all, so some server space was found and a domain was purchased and skullmund was made.

it was mostly just intended to be a “posting with your homies” type deal with an anarchic “no mods no masters” mindset. it wasn’t ever intended to be a place for salty banned SA posters to be mad. like SIB said, for the few first months it was pretty great. a lot of artwork, photoshops, videos and even original music were made.

but the no mod policy reached its inevitable conclusion when a small group of posters (including SA fave dad gay so what) went around just posting real toxic poo poo in drat near every thread. racism, misogyny, homophobia. You name it, they’d post it in every thread. since no one would or even could ban them, it eventually drove a vast majority of the users off the site and off onto Twitter and Discord and things like that.

the skullmund site itself was turned over to a mysterious Frisian man, which is why if you go there now the board is mostly just explosions and skulls and pretty much nothing else.

now the real kicker is, most of those incredibly toxic posters from earlier went and founded a Skullmund offsite after everyone fled.

if you really hate yourself and want to see what that’s like (warning probably NWS/NMS) they’ve congealed over at scarboil dot com.

tl;dr: skullmund was basically some kind of experimental anarchoposting collective ruined by insider threats

The probation was for mod sass which is one of the stupidest and most cop-like rules here. Mods and admins and cops should never ever have final ultimate authority.

He also likes posting awful Star Trek Online fanfic (and ruminations on the breast sizes of his MMO characters), but that's leading us outside of the SA portion of his saga.

Wasn’t there another poster who had an apocalypse level meltdown because they changed the attack animations in the Star Wars MMO and he couldn’t see his characters butt as clearly anymore? That poo poo was wild.
