This is a crosspost from my thread in GBS. About a month ago there was a discussion of collecting and compiling some of the funniest posts and threads into a book, something that, like The Planet Builders, could help make $$$ for the site? I wanted to see if there was any interest in collecting posts and how we could do it. I think there's some great comedy gold that's both on point and insightful on the forums and it would be interesting to get a few pages laid out into a book. Is there any interest in putting this together? A few people suggested PYF would be a good resource. Of course the last page would just be "I'm Gay"

You can make a whole mini drama out of the Doobie saga. Enough goons seem to still love talking about that long past the point the comedy dried up. Also, everyone could enjoy the irony if your Doobie book failed.

Wouldn't this basically a curated printout of the pyf forum quote+forum saga threads? Would anyone actually pay money for that for any other reason than just wanting to donate to the site?

If you could access every post ever made on SA, then I guess it could be a cool idea. Thing is, you wouldn't want it to read like a "best of SA quotes" because you'll never get anyone outside of SA to buy it. You need to make it more a "Something Awful: The History of a Dead, Gay Forum" And chronicle things like the Slenderman saga, vilerat and his contribution to SA, the social commentary and original content that came out of SA and how goons essentially shaped the internet in the early 2000s. When you have a solid plan, I'd be down to help out. Zipperelli. has a new favorite as of 20:26 on Nov 26, 2017 |

I'm 99% sure that the posts on this site are owned by the site itself, so all you'd need is Lowtax. Much like Facebook actually owns all the poo poo you post there. So that shouldn't be a problem. This sounds like a good idea OP, and I'd be interested in helping I guess, since I don't have much going on. Have you scoured the Greatest Sagas thread here in PYF? What are you thinking of putting in it. If you want to get people more interested then you're gonna have to do a little more than just post a "hey i wanna do a thing" thread.

It'd be pretty funny. I'd also lend it to friends who don't know about the forums so they can make fun of me/join (not mutually exclusive)

Actually make it a two pager at the center of the book and frame it so it's like you're opening the books rear end in a top hat. and have the book come with a free ring for authenticity
