I hope you level up! :)
Spout.ly is back, and it has done what many people thought would be impossible: made a funny gamergate article.

http://www.somethingawful.com/news/spoutly-gulpergate/

I mean, I thought that every possible permutation on mocking gamergate had been done, and done to death, but this actually surprised me and made me laugh. Just seeing the article title made me laugh, and the rest of the article delivered.

It might be tired but it's still going strong so it was still relevant unfortunately.

I think even without the topical stuff, it is still funny. It gives a picture of what these people are like. People who get obsessively into really niche hobbies really do act like this.

I have wondered for a while about the biographies of the Spout.ly people, and would like to hear more about their backgrounds.

This article made me try to remember the last time I saw a woman drink from a water fountain. I think it was in 7th grade.

Goddamn it #gulpergate :cripes:

Also, since we have gotten this far, what does spigot.us think of #GulperGate ?

Spigot.us seems to be the hipster drinking fountain site, Spout.ly is for the...um, what would we even call that subculture? Spout.ly does seem to be roughly gamer/bro/fedora.

And also, to complete the triad, could there be a SJW fountain review site? maybe fountainspectrum.tumblr.com or something, with arguments over which fountains are problematic?

A week later, I still can't decide whether I like Soggy Steve's post or Hydrat0r's more.

(Both are second-place to Inflow's.)

I've been thinking about Spout.ly every single time I drink from a water fountain. I've really started to examine how I think about them.
gently caress, if it was a real website I'd probably have an account.

It is a real website. Look for your hand carved invitation in the mail, fellow avid gulper.

I want to see this also now, though I'll be happy with any Spout.ly article and frankly anything from Shaggy Butte.

I just thought of something. What if these fountain fans start naming fountains? Then we will have (colorful) fountain names in addition to all the BarkWire dog names.
