I joined this site when I was 18. I'm almost 27 now. Thanks to SA I learned about adult life. Also when the whole Gamergate thing went down SomethingAwful spoke out against it (kinda) and kept me from being a shithead. I'd be gutted if had to lose this site. It means so much to me. It was a safe space for me to learn and grow during my post secondary years with cool people.

Goons also helped me out when I was a low point mental health wise and encouraged me to get better. I was a suicidal mess due to dysphoria over my cerebral palsy. Now I'm mostly better. (But i'm loving on double quarantine due to being vulnerable which isn't helping.)

It sounds weird to say, but the way the older members taught us younger posters about life is kinda like an older sibling relationship. Can you tell I'm an only child?

Ralph Crammed In posted:My son had to come out via an episiotomy, which in layman's terms means 'we are going to cut your vagina and sew it back up'. For a week after he was born I was pretty much bedridden due to the pain of moving/sitting. I read the entirety of the r/relationships thread in GBS while lying in bed with Ralph Jr sleeping next to me and it really helped take my mind off having had my downstairs patched up. I guess Ralph Jr was really crammed in.

HAmbONE posted:Avalloc saved my life. I don’t know if he posts on forums proper but I met him through Goonfleet Logistics. I was not doing well in the 2000’s, severely alcoholic and burning through multiple runs of anti-depressants and anti-psychotics. During one of alcohol fueled breakdowns online, Avalloc reached out to me and gave me his personal phone number. I called him and he proceeded to talk me out of my spiral. He is probably still alive depending on the type of MS. (Not a doctor.)
