The stockiness of the old model was a fundamental design confluence with the stockiness of its userbase, as well as being simple enough to easily render emblematically in your medium of choice. With all that replaced by the fad of angles and curvature what are you left with in the symbol that resonates? Nostalgia alone. And that's a hell of foundation to start redesigning from.

There's no way a human being believes all of that nonsense.

April 27th, 2020 is a day I will always remember. It was the day I became cynical, bitter, and distraught. You may call it an overreaction for me to feel this way simply because of the favicon of a single website, but let me explain what all of this means to me.

My life was thrown off balance and I never regained my footing after that day, because I lost my ability to respect. An essential part of being human is to feel respect for those who may or may not be deserving of it. But it is equally human to feel painful disillusionment when someone or something you respected turns out to be much less than you thought. But the level of betrayal I felt when Something Awful changed their favicon tore something from me that I'll never be able to recover. They tore away my ability to respect anything, and they tore away my ability to feel human.

The pain I felt from this betrayal has destroyed me on an emotional level, and has deprived me of my primary source of entertainment. No longer can I read forums without remembering the day I ceased mattering to people I devoted myself to. Something Awful had not just destroyed me or their website, they had destroyed the one force of stability in the world: Trust.

I always (jealously) wondered where that came from. I guess the answer was "a forums post", but it's at least a little bit more information.

There was a big cool crab thread in gbs, I drew it one day and someone cool just made the gangtag. Then a mystery goon bought a LOT of the posters in the thread the tag iirc
