Why does everyone hate Something Awful? (94)

1 Name: Anonymous Addict : 2006-03-30 22:58 ID:fdZCImvO

I like a lot of their articles, they're pretty funny.

2 Name: Anonymous Addict : 2006-03-30 23:13 ID:0G0Gmeyd

The articles are generally regarded as okay satire, but their forums are very, very mean to various people. They mock people, invade forums, etc. This is not something the webmaster Lowtax approves of, but it keeps on going anyway. Being mean to people isn't nice!

You have to pay :10bux: to get in and admins ban people at the drop of a hat
oh and by :10bux: I mean 10 + 10 + 15 + 15 at least if you don't want to be seen as a newbie

4 Name: Anonymous Addict : 2006-03-31 08:20 ID:fdZCImvO

I had heard about the 10bux thing and how they banned people senselessly, but aren't the forums mostly a sideshow? I mean, I don't go to gamefaqs to read the idiot posts there.

I get the impression that the rest of the site is the sideshow, and people go there mainly for the forums.

11 Name: Anonymous Addict : 2006-04-04 11:30 ID:a8mt2qw6

SA users pay for their forum, which makes them think it's much better than other ones, because otherwise they'd have wasted their money.

And thus the prophecy fulfills itself, and there will always be a Terrakian.

I like it in the SA forums. The ruthless banning of idiots and shitheads keeps the place worth reading.

14 Name: Anonymous Addict : 2006-04-05 21:11 ID:Vpyirv6V

What I think is interesting with SA is the fact that you (theoretically) pay a one-time cost. How can a one-time lump of $10 cover a running one? If nobody would get banned, things wouldn't work (a user is bound to consumed more than $10 over a period of time). New members won't help, they'll also require bandwidth.

This pretty much means that either:
A) They have to be happy with the banhammer.
B) They can cover their costs with advertising.

In either case I'm not spending ten american moneys.

Why pay $10 for Spmething Awful when you can do the same stupid and perverse stuff in 4chan, world4chan, etc. for free and without getting banned?

19 Name: Anonymous Addict : 2006-04-06 09:26 ID:xGGE6cu0

>>18 because eventually you'll want to make serious posts; and SA strives hard to keep the tards out of their serious threads (and mostly succeeds)?

20 Name: Anonymous Addict : 2006-04-06 10:01 ID:Vpyirv6V

Or rather, they keep out the tards without $10.

Yeah, SA is so much more mature than 4-ch. I posted a thread in 4-ch's romance board and everyone was like "LOL I HAD SEX" and "BUT DID YOU GET HEAD", and eventually Squeeks had to trash it.

24 Name: Anonymous Addict : 2006-04-06 15:45 ID:8tz6SB/H

People hate SA because a lot of the anon net culture comes out of 4chan's /b/, and in general /b/ thinks they're better than everywhere else on the internet. Therefore they hate all other big sites, such as ytmnd, SA, etc. Its sort of stupid, but then again thats the way /b/ rolls.

Well, namely because they're hypocritical, immature, and not even slightly funny.

But I suppose that's nitpicking.

46 Name: Anonymous Addict : 2006-07-11 12:39 ID:9V5tNnT0

People hate SA because they're shocked that a forum would dare to both ask a trivial entry fee but then require the noob to both understand and follow the rules of the site.

I mean WTF? Rules? FREEDOM OF SPEECH SHITCOCK LOLI BABYFUCKER CHIYO-CHAN PORN

The most offensive part is that the rules essentially boil down to "don't be a jerk and you won't get banned" and that's a really hard rule to follow for the average jerk.

The best part about the english chan boards is that m<3<3t has repeatedly proven that he knows absolutely jack shit about anonymous boards, and doesn't really care either. He just registered the name to look cool in front of all his friends SA and that everything that place has was created by the users, which haven't wanted anything to do with SA for 200 years.
