>>8572837SomethingAwful was an old-web classic website that spawned 4chan when moot got tired of it being bad and decided to make a weeb copy imageboard with blackjack and hookers. Most of the originalfags were goons. SA was originally known for the kind of shit /b/ is memetic for (mean pranks, grossout humor, trolling under false flags), but ultimately became a bastion for idpol leftists & unironic communists. Its moderation was notably even worse than 4chan's, with constant ad spam and content cutoff unless you gave its founder, lowtax, 10 dollars. It was regular practice to ban users for basically no reason, requiring them to pay an additional 10 dollars. 'Hope u got 10bux' comes from this.
lowtax would ultimately become embroiled in a scandal where he supposedly beat his s/o. He signed away the rights to the site to someone else. Already in a decline in both activity and relevance, it is effectively dead at this point.
