Was it a goon that 1. had a terrible full back tattoo of a panther and 2. totaled his car, used the insurance payout to buy a motorcycle, and then immediately lost his arm in a motorcycle accident?

I think it was motorcycle accident first, then a Lambo that he couldn't drive correctly because he had one arm. Which he then wrecked.

So, based on probe reasons, it looks like the EVE mobile game is spinning out a saga courtesy of space socialism, IRL socialism, allegations of doxxing, and goons taking in-game money and ships.

Not necessarily a saga, but funny, feel-good thread one of the historians here might recall.

Goon has a photo of his grandpa or great-grandpa in military uniform. It's b&w, scuffed and creased. They ask if someone with photoshop could clean it up and colorize it, so they could print it out as a gift.

Goons being goons, a number of them "fix" the photo in hilarious ways. OP is a good sport and finds it funny, and eventually someone does hook them up with a bangin' touch up job.

If anyone remembers that and can dig up a link, it was quite amusing (pics are probably lost to waffleimages, though; I remember looking at it at a job I left in 2012).

That was an amazing thread. There were some really good one sin there too.

I think a lot of people need better real life support systems and maybe not spend so much time online. And that's coming from someone that's been on this crazy website for almost two decades.

Id agree but that's pretty difficult to do right now with the whole, you know, everything right now.

I still see and talk to most of my friends even with everything that's going on. We even text/call every few weeks or so just to check on each other. But I've always had a lot of friends and an amazing family, so I've been incredibly lucky.

Oh, I totally agree. We're a web forum for a comedy site. The mods are unpaid volunteers that are mostly here to make sure it doesn't devolve into a racist cesspit. Expecting them to do anything to prevent suicide besides PMing someone or giving them a time out is ludicrous.

Ok well moving on. My first real memory of SA was that thread where the dude was “live posting” him hiding from his wife who wanted to stick a dildo up his rear end.

Obviously it was fake but that was like my first real introduction to SA.

Does anyone remember that? This had to be 2002-2004?

I remember it and think it was linked in the old thread right before everything with KM took off. That's the one where he was worried it would make him gay right?

I need archives though. Oh well. Have to wait for the sale to finish. I'll mark this for later though.

I think there's a thread in QCS to ask for that stuff while the sale is pending so you don't have to buy it.

I've gotten a few PMs about this so I thought I'd address it. I typed up a lot of words and then deleted them because nobody wants to read that. Instead I'll just say that I don't want to have a rule like the above quote because it's virtually impossible to enforce consistently and will probably just result in a lot of arguing about when exactly a thing started.

I will, however, be more vigilant about people using discussions of current sagas ("drama") to pursue grudges against specific posters and subforums. There's been discussion in the mod forum about discouraging cross-forums rivalry, which I totally agree with. I'm not saying we can't call out funny/dumb/problematic behavior when it happens, we just need to strike a balance.

Close Coupons. :colbert:

See, this is why it doesn't make sense to follow politics. You start getting all bent out of shape about things you literally have no control over at all. The much better mental health option is to stare at your fantasy football line up and try to decide if Parris Campbell is worth starting in your flex over Julian Edelman.

I believe this unironically and often wish I could be this kind of person.

I was super into politics in my late teens and early twenties. Then I realized politics are sports teams for people that want to pretend their opinions matter.

I just stopped paying attention and life got a million times better.
