I think was spawned in the Steam thread, and I think that's really all there is to it (not that any explanation beyond that would be needed for the emoticon).

I got the idea for :shepspends:

and generally watching the retrogames and steam threads months ago (last year in fact, I think). I did share it in the retrogames thread when I first made it, and then promptly forgot all about it until about two months ago when I finally purchased it.

I think the Let's Play subforum gets like a ridiculous amount of all SA's traffic, like a 20% or something, so it generating a ton of smilies isn't that surprising really. Also factor in the cult-like following some threads get.

We should probably be thankful there's only been one emote ( :syoon:

) out of the Dangan Ronpa threads.

Not saying that one's bad (though I could've phrased what I said better), just that given how popular the DR threads are we could've been flooded with emotes. As to the avatar, some mysterious benefactor/malefactor slapped it on me in HelloWinter's Phoenix Wright LP.

Half the people who care about the DR threads are too cheap to even buy an account.

Someone spent about $300+ (at least that was the general collective guess from what we could work out) to buy multiple spoiler-heavy ad banners.

It was Twisty. He posted a thread about assassinating John McCain at some point and that got the FBI's attention.

You can't help but feel sorry for some of the weird poo poo the FBI has to deal with due to the Internet. I'm going to quote something from the Space Station 13 thread as another example;

(For context; Dr. Cogwerks is one of the game's server admins and coders)

Dr. Cogwerks posted:

Some weirdo was making rapey and creepy comments in game one night at about one AM. I yelled at them, they responded with a couple weird cryptic messages and then this, roughly: "well thanks for all the fun times here, i've got my rifle loaded and i'm gonna be shooting up a school full of kids in the morning, so this is goodbye"

User key was his first initial and last name with a number, that same account name was also used by a certain college student's blog and google+ page. Found his city and college from those, and the IP address he was playing from matched the ip registry for that college. Submitted the admin log, ip and timestamps to the FBI's online tips form, got several frantic calls back from city police and FBI agents over the next several hours and ended up getting calls from various detectives and fbi agents every hour or so from one am to three pm. No goddamn sleep.

Dude's dorm room was raided and he was arrested within about three hours of his comments, dorm was searched, computer taken to forensics, all that jazz. I dunno what happened past that though. I did have to write up some incident reports and attach a whole bunch of supplementary text and pictures about what ss13 is, how we log player communications and login info, how people find the game, how people register for the game, and a whole bunch of other stuff like that. Somewhere there's a screenshot in an FBI evidence folder showing a bunch of regular players farting, because it was impossible to find any portion of the game chat panel WITHOUT farting.

goddamn you all

I'm pretty sure the smiles came from the Undertale thread, but if i remember correctly, the blackout period thing was lifted awhile back since people day-1 LPing stuff was more of an issue of quality then anything else, and that's something that sorta self moderates now I think.

Yeah, it rolled down from six to three months a fair while ago then got dropped altogether for that exact reason - Bad and Youtube-dump LP's don't last long.

Caro was a crazy goon who decided to he wanted to be a sniper and/or medic in the middle east. He went to do so, got captured, and ended up in a Syrian torture death camp. Everyone assumed he was dead, which is when the avatar was bought.

He was not dead somehow, and now he's coming back for revenge against GIP.

Not true. I had talked Ozma into letting me replace it by buying a fixed version, but people got mad when they found out, so I abandoned the effort.

Huh. I swear an Admin a few years back, maybe even Ozma, looked into it and the answer was that it'd gently caress up all prior uses of it.

Yeah, Jira's a ticketing system for administering Scrum- and Kanban like processes. There are a bunch of alternatives available too.

Slack is just a chat app/webpage where you can make channels, private chats, whatnot. You can also embed images or other files to quickly share them and it has markdown support so you can put in code snippets and stuff.

It's also excellent for automated notifications as well, because you can use webhooks to get messages about things like hardware failures right from your management software when you're not at your PC.
