Of course. The mods did try and fight the surge of idiots, but in my opinion there was just no stopping it. SA was too toxic with its history of "free speech", and the FYAD sub leaked over into other forums and the mods just coulnd't keep up. That toally toxic mindset just set en masse from what I remember. Even after the outflow to 4chan in 2003-2004, SA was never the same (and never has been). Eventually, when Digg and reddit came around they were better alternatives and I basically left SA at that time and it seems a ton of people did as well. SA never got as bad as 4Chan, but it had pockets that were almost as bad (such as the goon squad). From 2004-2007 I didn't really post on the internet at all. Ill check on it a few times a year, and I keep up with some friends I made there, but now its just a shell of what it used to be with an old outdated interface.
