The new year is almost upon us! We're almost to the holly jolly reveries of Christmas and the drunken debauchery of NYE. Before that happens, I think we should brainstorm some ideas to keep these forums moving forward and growing in the new year and the years to come.

Here are some of mine:

-A new slogan. Something that really speaks to the youth. Something along the lines of "Something Awful: Home of the OG Rizz Vibes"

-Something Awful produces a show on Roku TV; a live game show to see who can poo poo their pants the most in public.

-Something Awful Fortnite skins featuring our favorite posters.

-Bring the original site owner back from the dead and very publicly hellban him!

-Is crypto still big? Maybe we could do like a mangosteen coin?

-We find and capture the Sasquatch and possibly other cryptids, give them accounts, and encourage them to :justpost:

Gun violence is popular in the news cycle and it's been three years since Lowtax and the politics fan forum guy pew-pewed their way into the news. 2025 could be the year that some goon's username is a household name.

When search engines or unregistered users are scanning the forums, instead of seeing posts through the dumb poo poo filter we have now, they should instead see all posts passed through a James Gunn AI filter trained on marvel movie screenplays so everybody sounds like cool snarky assholes.

the default post presentation format should be colorful word salad smashed into a phone format vertical rectangle, with a timer progress bar swiftly expiring and sending you to an algorithmically selected next random post.

Unless you pay $10/mo for "pro access" then the timer can be paused and you can see the names of posters.

If you pay $20/mo you can buy access to the old.forums where things look like they do no.

It is the way of the Dude.
The Naughty Nine is a very adorable kid's heist movie, but it plays it a little too safe and ends up bland and forgettable.
They wheeled out a barely lucid Danny Glover to play Santa, and it's fairly obvious he can barely move or stand up on his own.
Watch Christmas Chronicles instead, Kurt Russel really nails that Santa role
