Was clicking on random pages in Wiki (whilst mining) when came across a page that talked about the something awful forums.

I knew I had heard of these forums whilst reading the Eve forums at some point but couldn't remember the context so I decided to take a look.

OMFG.. damn some people really take computer games seriously and I mean really seriously.

I then found an add for the goons

is there a tl;dr version?

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

'insert random pic here'

Pretty much sums it up.

What I find interesting is that there is nothing in the write-up that says that they will scam you out of all your stuff until you go to the wishing to joining page.
And this corp is founded on scamming

I am aware of my own ignorance and have checked my emotional quotient - thanks for asking

Yes. It's really weird that they expect people on the internets (and on a forum, at that) to be able to read and follow even very simple and basic instructions.

It's those kinds of unfair demands that weeds out so many poor goon wannabes.

they scam non-goons.
Anyone belonging to the Something Awful forums is a goon, and thus free to join the swarm.

for some people forums are a way of life

redit, 4chan, SA, and numerous more secretive ones
I can name several that actively invade other games and their forums for sport

I distinctly remember one guy making a ragepost about how the entire GSF was founded on one huge EULA violation because they required you to be a member of SA (which you have to pay your :tenbux: for) in order to join.

It made me laugh, in the same way I might laugh at the antics of a small puppy trying to get outside and repeatedly bashing his head on a glass patio door.

It's the way it has always been done on the SA forums, yes the claims are dubious as hell and the game really does not work in that sort of way but i guess it gets some new players joining
