I want to say around '02 or 3 when there'd be photoshop competitions with fark and worth1000 (are they still around?) and whoever. But that might literally just be memory bias on my part because that's around when i became aware of this place. Well, the front page of this place, the forums themselves seemed like they were full of assholes and jerks. Who would ever post there?

I remember there was a thread or article, maybe Photoshop Phriday that had a mock 8-bit looking pirate game or something & we were howling at how funny it was in class.

a kitten posted:I want to say around '02 or 3 when there'd be photoshop competitions with fark and worth1000 (are they still around?) Worth1000 disappeared up its own rear end around 2014 when the owner suddenly closed it down and announced that he'd sold the entire contents of the site plus the entire userbase to "graphic design crowdsourcing company DesignCrowd". Members who didn't want their info sold to the new owners had to opt out, it was all a lovely horrible mess. The new owners kept delaying the relaunch for over a year they pretty much gave up and archived all the old Worth1000 content on their site. I spent a lot of time on the W1K forums back in the day.

Fashion SWAT, WTF D&D, and anything Zack Parsons were all incredible front page content. SMG is a great troll and an insightful mass media poster (not just movies, his posts about Duke Nukem Forever were also great). He takes things too far at times, and absolutely needs to stay away from politics/news, but overall he's a forums treasure. His imitators are all boring garbage, and several CD threads are just lousy with them. The horror thread is great, just be prepared to skip like 5-10 loving pages anytime anyone posts a tier list of any horror series/subgenre.

A WIZARD DID IT posted:So I went out last night with some girl who I sort of know through some friends, we went to a fancy restaurant, had a few drinks then at one point I ran off to the toilets. When I came back and finished my drink it hit me like I'd just chugged a bottle of Vodka. My memory gets hazy after that.

I first discovered SA after being linked a review of Halo I think, on the GameSpy forums (RIP)  I was too young and dumb to realise it was a joke review of the game and my jimmies were rustled as hell and I was all fired up to register and fire off my opinion until I saq I had to pay real money to post there. So I kept reading the frontpage alone for a year or so before borrowing my moms credit card to sign up. Good times
