How's the culture over at offtopic.com and somethingawful?

Are they as strict on nudity/unwritten rules? More rampant nefs?

S.A. has a subscription based forum, there pretty much anything goes.

I think its like $10 a year.


Edit: note, you don't have to pay to be a member of the forum, you just can't get to all parts of the forum unless you pay.

I have a friend that acts like that forum is his crack.

Several of my buddies are glued to SA

Studies have shown that ATOT has been a major contributing factor to the dumbing down of today's Male American Youth.

I got temp banned from Something Awful for saying that Suikoden 4 had bad graphics more than one time.

The admins there are a bit on the lame side, they're power hungry and always looking to ban people for "trolling".

that's not saying much for yourself now, is it? (elite, 30k+ posts, joined 2001)

i tried Offtopic.com for a while. like someone else said it's so busy that it's almost annoying. topics don't stay on the first page too long and the ones that do seem to be flamefests and OP drama. quite a bit is tolerated there. also, you get b!tched at for not having a subscription... "get a sub n00b" etc etc.

yeh, when they get owned there by someone without a paid subscription they quickly reply, "no av, no care"
it's like a little snot nosed boy's club.

honestly, the two boards do not compare. posters throw the n-bomb around there all the time.

i will have to take your word for it. i go in, read a few threads on the front page sometimes, and leave. i saw the OT.com South Park pic though, and it was pretty funny even though i'm not very active there.
