    At this rate I will be the only person who hasn't joined o_o
    That's how I'm starting to feel, too.

    Count me in for that, I neither have the money nor the disposition to join a place that holds individuals that thrive on mockery.

    I have no idea what that post quoting me is supposed to mean.

    I'd like to join Something Awful myself (seriously, the tattoo threads are reading are damn interesting and entertaining), but there are two things:

    A. I can't just toss around 10 USD
    B. I'm not sure if I have enough content for the forum. You think they'd like dead languages and vikings?

    I'm trying to decide if I should be annebeeche or if I should assume a different username.

    Malkavian: I have no idea either. I actually thought it was going to be me.
  • MagusMagus
    I'LL STAY MAI HAUNDS...WITH YAU BLAHT
    I'm sure they'd like vikings. Dead languages might work if you posted it in the right forum.

    As for the username thing, I'm sure it's fine.

    You can change. You can.
    Malkavian: He's referring to the fact that doing such a post over at SA would get you benned because of the whole "Only meaningful posts" rule there.
  • MalkavianMalkavian
    MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!
    Errm.. ok. Good thing this isn't SA then.

    So, how does the "buy pieces of your account" thing work? I saw it suggested somewhere that you can buy avatars instead of "no ads" for your account purchase, and honestly, I would much rather have a custom avatar than no ads.

    Also, do you buy the ability to change your avatar, or do you have to buy each avatar change?

    ^ I can see why they ban macro-posts. It's a very, very popular forum that's also heavily embedded in internet culture, so if they didn't ban macro-posts they'd be flooded, even with the 10.00 fee.

    Don't get an anime avatar. You will be banned.

    Are you being serious? Not that she would get an anime avatar, though.
  • VorpyVorpy

    Hey, go ahead and ask them what happens to people with anime avatars.

    If they get banned, or put on probation constantly or be subjected to internet torture and humiliation is their call.

    I'll take your word for it.

    I hope any of my original artwork won't count as "anime" because it was never intended to be.

    Dudes, anime avatars are OK. There's a reason why they have an anime subforum, yannow?

    You know, SA has made a lot of observations/complaints that the the forum is full of shameless pedophiles and such, but I don't think I've seen that sort of thing. Do I just hang out in the wrong (right?) place?
  • Scrye2Scrye2

    Yes.

    There are some people who are (By their own definition) shameless perverts who like many things that are morally questionable. 

    I honestly don't hold it against them until they start deliberately hurting other people. 
  • AnneBeecheAnneBeeche
    I stand on Grendel's shoulders
    Me neither.

    But they should at least recognize that their shit is creepy and nobody else wants to know.
  • VorpyVorpy
    ☭Unstoppable Sex Goddess☭
    I hold it against them solely because I don't like it.

    Oh I can see why, but I don't get why pointing out that someone is using a macro needed to be pointed out.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    Because, believe or not, SA also has dumb posters.
  • MalkavianMalkavian
    MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!
    You know, that's actually incredibly easy to believe.

    @Juan_Carlos.

    Yeah, that's true... I mean, who in their right mind would pay 10 dollars just to post on a site...



    +10,000 posts explaining all the reasons SA requires a little money'/ posts explaining why I'm dumb for making the joke.

    ^Pretty much.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    It's more like, just how high do you even have to be to DO something like paying ten bucks to go THERE

    I mean, what is there to do? Sure, there's a lovely (In the world filter sense) TvTropes thread and maybe some GWS stuff, but eh.

    But yeah, abrassiveness aside, I just think people are being way too...um...disillusioned here? I dunno. But the point is, that I really don't see the point of the place.

    But yeah, different places, different appeals, etc etc.
  • AnneBeecheAnneBeeche

    ^ This thread. And this thread too, actually, which is how I got to the other one.

    Something Awful actually cares about content, which is why there's such strict moderation. I'd like to join too, to fully participate in the sharing and viewing of that content.

  • VorpyVorpy
    ☭Unstoppable Sex Goddess☭
    I like how they ban macro posts, because when most threads compose of "I liek whur this thread is going" / "u mad faggot?" / "deal with it" / "tl;dr" / "cool story bro" / "X is SERIOUS BUSINESS" / "x is cancer" / "hahaohwow" / "insertmemehere.avi" it gets fucking annoying.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    @annebeeche: Like I said, blah blah different appeals blah blah subjective.

    @Vorpy: Such hipocrisy.
