Something Awful forums discuss bitcoin & SquareWear

Wait.. when did SA start charging for memberships?  I haven't been there in years, but I remember it used to be free.  I still have my "L33T LIEK JEFFK" shirt I got from Razer CPL in 2000 (or was it 2001?).

Somethingawful used to be relevant, now its a badly-aging reminder of the 2000's. Its hilarious he gets people to pay him to post. I guess that is the test, to see if they are stupid enough to do so. Given that most of the country is filled with idiots, I'm sure he does quite well.

I mean, look at the quality posts from JeffK - aren't you lawling over it? No? Oh, that's right, we don't pay here - and we actually have lives.

Thanks, made my day 

Mousepotato, is that you wearing these shirts?

And most of these shirts really ain't funny, imho.

Ouip (That's French for "Yup")

So you admit some of them are funny.

Good thing I used worthless fiat dollars to pay for my account, instead of extremely valuable Bitcoins.

Stupid SomethingAwful admins, letting their users pay them such worthless currency for the privilege of posting. I bet the quality of posting would go up there one hundred fold if they stop letting the riff raff register with fiat money and created an elite forum that allows the good, upstanding, and intelligent Bitcoin-bourgeoisie to buy accounts with gold doubloons and cryptocurrency.

Also, if you had a life, you probably wouldn't have 600+ posts on a forum dedicated to Autism Kroners

The funny thing about that SA thread is that the amount of spent mocking bitcoins has exposed many of them to how they work. The focus eventually became less on bitcoins, and more on the forum and the posters here.

Hey, new crap comic!



What is the intended message of this (specific) comic? MtG: OX should be closed over weekends? Banks should be open 24/7? Buying cheap bitcoins and then watching them steadily lose value is the road to riches?

He has a point. What is that comic supposed to be about?

Good try, but I've seen more effective trolls than you. But they were probably better educated.

I guess your inferior trolling is a knock-on effect from being stupid enough to PAY a site operator to post. Protip: The internet exists at work also. That may come as a shock to you, being locked in to your SomethingLAWLful forum. You really need to get out more.

(P.S. The internet is also available on a new-fangled invention called a 'smartphone'.)

Something Awful appears to be quite negative about bitcoins to a point I don't feel is accurate, but their comments about these forums themselves often ring true. TraderTimm, your reply to jeffk was more painful to read and insipid than anything I saw glancing over at those forums.

Truth often hurts, my forum friend.

I'm glad their forum exists though, it is a nice honeypot for those that think precisely like you. Better that than having all that buffoonery saturating every corner of the internet. I'd call that a fair trade.

Pardon me? Is that second part referring to me?

I just got my shirts in the mail (thanks Gabriel!) and they're AWESOME!!!  Very high quality heavy cotton construction and they feel comfy. If anybody is on the fence about picking up a shirt or three from SquareWear, I'd say DO EET!  Not only will you get a pretty kickass shirt, you'll also help stimulate the Bitcoin economy.

Wish I actually had a 6990 FML

Well, hello there.
