just remembered one of these has to be the Derek Smart Star Citizen sub that used to be in games. anyone who can recall the forumid for that one gets a firm handshake

According to SAclopedia, it used to be id 212 but it's inaccessible. In 2015, it was named The Smart Room, later renamed to some joke mixing Desktop Commander and Star Citizen.

Ah, here it is with the magic of Internet Archive. It was also named "Derek Smart's House of Star Citizen Obsessive Insanity" and "Stupid Crowdfunding Accomplishment Mausoleum", the latter probably after Mr Smart got banned for being a doxxer and a tosser.

The SA Index is a list of all current and former subforums listed in order by forumid. SA has had lots of different forums over the years and a lot of them have closed for good. But with the archives upgrade and a quick change of forumid in the subforum URL, you too can catch up on all the hottest posts in your favorite dead gay forum. As far as I know there are no forumids from 281-665 or greater than 679, but if you find one please post about it!! I don't know if a full list of subforums exists somewhere already but I already made this poo poo so gently caress it I guess there's two now if there is one out there.

Never manually surfed before? All you have to do is copy this link, paste it into your address bar, and replace # with the number of the subforum you want to visit: https://forums.somethingawful.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=#

Most of these forums will require archives to be able to go back and see the threads that were in them, with the exception of somewhat recently closed ones like forumid=666 FYAD or the Paranormal forum.

Interesting things I learned while making this
  • Euro GoonCon was a thing :gop:
  • There used to be a dedicated subforum for photoshops
  • The AwfulPedia subforum has some decently interesting posts in any given thread for a particular year, documenting forum events in timeline form easier to read than browsing the SAclopedia
  • The RiffTrax Live Meetups subforum has never had a post in it, or maybe all the posts were deleted, or maybe it was a category of subforums that have been hidden. I have no idea what it is or what it was supposed to be
  • There are some really big gaps in forumid usage, even if you aren't counting the big skip from the 200s up into the 600s
