- WarChortle 6y agoCan you elaborate a bit what do you mean?
- brodie 6y agoI’m guessing they’re either referring to the unbelievably gigantic number of threads making it impossible to find the important and notable ones, or they’re referring to the fact that significant forums on the site have been closed down and either deleted or hidden. I was active on SA from 2004 to 2010, and at one point I was a contractor who worked on the forum code. I was also an admin for a short period. Having been so immersed in the forums for so long, it blows my mind to think that so much internet culture originated on SA. They basically invented the now hugely popular meme format, though they were called image macros then. “tl;dr” and “pro tip” originated there. 4chan was a spin-off forum from their anime forum. I’m sure there’s more I’ve missed. The allegations in the article against Lowtax are disturbing to say the least.
- elktea 6y agoWhy not tell it now, if you know it?

- waste_monk 6y agoI'm not sure if this is some attempt to sound cool and mysterious, but if so making vague comments that do not contribute to the discussion here is not the way to go about it. Aside from the current Lowtax domestic abuse / being digitally tarred and feathered business, there were the Aaatrek and Shmorky incidents, that guy who shot a couple of people over pumpkin vandalism, and so on. Literally no one would be surprised if there was more weird stuff going on behind the scenes. If you have some information (and proof) you should just post it.
