My understanding is that migrating the forums over to Xeneforo 2.0 requires closing some of the forums temporarily to lighten the load, so to speak. Undoubtedly it'll be restored once the process is completed.

What is this some Patient Zero poo poo that SA is once again partially responsible for?
Incels started as a listserv back in like 96 or something.

Basically some not-very-outgoing professor had a dude walk into her office like "why doesn't anyone want to date me" and she realized, after he left, they were kind of similar.

She started an online group to see if they could all lift each other up, since by then she had had one or two relationships.

It quickly spiralled into something bigger than she could manage and instead of helping everyone was just sharing terrible depressive stories.

So she basically said "this is a failed experiment" and left the community to their own devices. It, obviously, did not grow into a healthy thing.

a fun derail in the GBS OSHA thread. Starts here.

PHIZ KALIFA posted:

OSHA thread, I have a question. Let's say there's a hill, 200 yards wide by 300 yards long. The middle rises to a 60' mound, we can assume a uniform shape, roughly triangular pyramidal in design. How long would it take an average construction team with modern equipment to excavate that area, to a depth of 60'?

Edit- For context, there's 5,400,000 ft of earth to be excavated down to ground level, then an additional 32,400,000 below that. Ground condition is sloped and marshy, with a series of large stones on the top of the hill and around one edge of the field.


it was inspired by PHIZ's thread in BYOB D&D's The Tomb of Horror, except every player is operating a bulldozer
as a unique approach to the Tomb of Horrors problem

Off the heels of the recent spree of bans and permabans its a great time to mention the other historic mass bans and permas.

2003-the original culling of adtrw that led to the creation of 4chan (allegedly) where dozens of outright pedo defenders and apologists were banned in quick succession

2010/11- Another mass ban of pedos who started outing themselves in adtrw for the sake of "art"

2019- mass ban of pedos from adtrw for arguing that sexualized kids in manga is no different from Renaissance paintings of cherubs.

Any others? I know the banhammer means something but I assumed it was a D&D or old LF thing.

Speaking of weird incel dudes, I remember a thread about some guy who was on a bodybuilding forum who build a sex doll out of water bottles and claimed his way of picking up girls was to go up and start singing the Fresh Prince theme. He also was obsessed with peeing and pooping. Thing was, dude was in crazy good shape but was seriously hosed up.

That reminds me of the one guy (not from SA I don't think) that would sing the "look at my horse, my horse is amazing" song at random women as a way of hitting on them, and he would record it and put the videos on youtube. And also the random women were like walmart or target employees.

its from the app Poser, basically a 3d app for positioning human models, i guess for drawing excercises or something. this is back around 2001/2.... there was also bryce was for landscapes

anyway there was an asset website where you could download poser-ready models & i guess the captain america model caught to goon imagination. it got pretty wild. myself, i mostly used my pirated 3d software to make skulls.

e: i posted a link to some folder up there that has a bunch of weird poser stuff from SA. some of it is probaby nws cause poser did include genitals in the 3rd or 4th version

I'm not sure if this came from Shark Week or before, but there used to be weeks were it was incredibly easy to get banned for absolutely no reason. Shark Week itself is probably one of those sagas that hasn't aged well at all.

The way I remember it was that a big part of 4chan happening also happened to involve a SA offsite, namely the Raspberry Heaven DC(++?) hub - and supposedly a lot of the posters and mods on 4chan were from all over SA, including FYAD?

Adjacent to this: Paedogeddon, a long saga in which goons invaded Reddit, inherited a subreddit dedicated to making GBS threads on awful MRAs and neo-Nazis, exposed Reddit's child pornography rings to Anderson Cooper, got /r/jailbait shut down after it was the focus of an episode of his show on CNN, and kicked off an internal power struggle within the Reddit administration.

Yea that guy targeted poor retail women too, maybe it was the same guy?

The guy posted a comic of himself being at a party and meeting a hot girl but suddenly needed to take a crap, but he panicked and did it in the tub.

SA had hands in stuff like TempleOS and of course Chris-Chan early days as well.

And some actual crimes I think? There were a lot of accusations in both directions I can't even remember why.

Goon Love is the Best Love eventually got shut the gently caress down hard because of similar reasons like goons going a dates, then stalking or harassing the gently caress out of the other goons. Also may have been a crime involved.

There was the coach surfer who posted a whiny screed about being sorry he creeped out a certain female goon, then she kramer'd into the thread and outright called him an rapist and abuser and she was banned for "offsite drama"

Speaking of crimes Morally Inept and his animal rape. What was a "shucks guys I was young and desperate" ended up following him every time her ever posted, until finally he tried to "own" it and was permabanned with a great excuse of "maybe this wasnt worthy of a perma but we don't need any admitted dogfuckers here either so gtfo"

Yea, I remember that from the Down The Rabbit Hole episode on him. Didn't some goons track him down when he was in sf or sd and talked with him and he seemed almost normal?

Its actually kind of amazing how of you look into an internet thing that happened in the 2000s SA was part of it in some way. I know we get mentioned in almost all of the time in the down the rabbit hole episodes, and in Justin Whangs tales from the internet.
