  Some websites it's possible he could've used: Tom's Hardware,, GameFAQs, SomethingAwful, and MySpace. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Reddit CEO calls unpaid moderators' concerns "Ass shart's" (noise) - time to send a message he won't forget.

  When the blackout happened, I (and quite a few other redditors apparently) went back to the something awful forums. It's a lot smaller than reddit, a completely different format, and it does cost $10 dollars to register an account... BUT it is an actual community with a lot of history, a huge variety of subforums, and the originator of a lot of things like the Let's Play format, slenderman, various memes, and...

• [meta] Post-blackout update

  Forums.somethingawful.com - Yeah, it's ten bucks for an account, but it has a storied internet history and CSPAM is a fantastic place for irreverent but smart discussion about all sorts of things from socialist + communist perspectives--from housing to video games to food to the Prison Industrial Complex to parenting to economics to UFOs to Christian Communism. Those Cities: Skylines Franklin videos that were... Source: almost 3 years ago

• Intrusive Targeted Ads on Reddit: A Privacy Concern?

  Also, although not on Reddit: my wife and I were looking at kitschy yard decorations: pink flamingos, those old ladies in bloomers bending over, etc. They were getting pretty wild, and I said they reminded me of the older Sharper Image catalogs. I then mentioned a single, unique product that I had seen in a catalog like that almost two decades ago. For those who are older, it was part of somethingawful.com,... Source: almost 3 years ago

• Men making over $100K per year: how hard was it to get over that threshold?

  Ended up going Computer Science. Sacrificed my personal life catching up. Make contacts in the industry. Gott an internship via our (poorly underutilized) career center at a major corporation. Learned a lot, and graduated with a CS degree. First job I got from (true story) a random guy on somethingawful.com who flew me across the country for an interview, which I landed.

• Goonfleet is trash, and strayed from its ideals. It's just about old guys holding onto power now. Believe me, I started it!

  Bro the entire concept of goonfleet, with the prefitted newbie ships-and-skillbook kits handed out to people to PVP immediately in 0.0 using massed t1 frigates with people recruited from somethingawful.com was my idea. Remedial started the corp because he had higher corp management skills trained already and was a powerhungry loser and I've never been one so I've never wanted Space Authority unlike some monetized...

• Vietnam 'Napalm Girl' receives final skin treatment 50 years after war-defining photograph

  That and the man on his knees as a pistol shot is ready to shoot or that split second after he was shot. Either way,it was a horrifying photo. I also remember Photoshop Fridays on the web site somethingawful.com where someone edited in a hopscotch game beneath the 'Napalm Girl' (I hate the moniker). Morbid friends found it funny on the surface and I probably laughed too but it was so disrespectful and callous... Source: almost 4 years ago

• In 2012, a burger king employee anonymously posted an image on 4-chan of him putting his feet in lettuce, with the caption: "This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King." It took 20 minutes for people to track down the branch the employee worked at and contact the news. He was promptly fired.

  There was somethingawful.com with torrents and actual funny people, who got put on an FBI watchlist for buying body armor for deploying members that the government said couldn't be bought. Source: almost 5 years ago

• Grrr Goons

  The original goons from the somethingawful.com forums had a bad reputation because SA had a bad reputation. That reputation was largely undeserved. Sure, there was some mean spirited humor, especially back in the early days. But SA had already undergone a cultural revolution, banning things like ironic bigotry, back when the website you are reading now, Reddit, still allowed pedophile porn. Source: almost 5 years ago
