  Something Awful - Encyclopedia Dramatica
Something Awful raised a shit load of money, which bought the guys who run PayPal some awesome stuff.
Around 50 % of the forum are obnoxious prepubescent morons who, if you were stuck in a bus with for one minute, would give you cause to forcibly remove your own earlobes and eyeballs with shattered glass to ensure not having to interact with them ever again.
With Something Awful ostensibly being a humour forum, these topics are typically discussed in between obligatory rape and Holocaust jokes, which have yet to wear out their welcome after six straight years.

 Urban Dictionary: something awful
Via this "e-hazing" SAF creates and propagates an unusually strict social code which all goons must abide by lest they face ostracization by other users and perhaps even harassment by moderators, a phenomenon not typically seen on forums.
The negative qualities of this style of forum management are that the forum is full of unthinking sycophants and that while forum quality may not drop as rapidly as at other sites, it also cannot ever reach the peak of its potential.
Another thing to note is that while Something Awful constantly berates its own members for the use (and especially overuse) of catchphrases, it is its own strict social guidelines which create the perfect environment in which popular catchphrases become an epidemic - goon see, goony-goon-goon do.

 Something Awful Forums - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Something Awful Forums are a group of general discussion internet message boards which accompany the humor website Something Awful.
They run on a heavily modified version of the vBulletin software; recently forum adminstrator Radium, who is responsible for most of the site's technical aspects, has begun to replace modules of vBulletin code with his own software, named Titan, which is designed for the exclusive needs of the Something Awful forums.
For a while, it had become overrun by regular FYAD posters and turned into a parody thread forum, at the apparent blessing of the forum's administrators by way of lack of enforcement of non-trolling rules that apply to the rest of the forums.

 Something Awful - WikiFur
SA forums do not condone the actions taken, and do take action to remove these troublemakers from their ranks when they deem necessary, many goons take it upon themselves to invade websites, forums and LiveJournals when they are linked on or off the forums.
While many consider this behavior typical for a Something Awful goon, Mix denies his involvement with the site, saying that he was taking pictures and filming for a personal art project, and that the actions he took on that day were a joke.
However, after a few months, the furry goons took the forum for themselves and turned it into their own "Furry FYAD." Much to the disturbance of SA forum regulars, Sibe, under an alias on an account purchased by JJcoolJ and several other furries began to post their collections of furry porn there.

 Something Awful going on with SPEWS | The Register
Something Awful shared a subnet, hosted by service provident Cogent, that also housed the domain of a recalcitrant spammer.
Unable to resolve the situation, Something Awful this month advised its users to take advantage of the new official Something Awful Usenet group at news.admin.net-abuse.blocklisting.
But this group and news.admin.net-abuse.email were flooded with off-topic posts and trolls from Something Awful users, incensing SPEWS advocates.

 Lurker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some lurkers may attempt to heavily involve themselves in the administration of a moderated forum by repeatedly alerting moderators to comments which offend their political or moral point of view, but refrain from participating in the discussion directly.
These individuals may have a high degree of sophistication within the topic of any given forum, but lack the time or willingness to post the detailed replies they feel that the topic at hand deserves.
Having been involved in many heated online discussions in the past, these lurkers are often willing to allow the more active forum members to hash out the obvious and may only contribute when the discussion takes a novel turn.

Something Awful, sometimes abbreviated to SA, is a comedy website based in Lee's Summit, Missouri, United States.

 Something Awful: The Internet Makes You Stupid
When people post on any forum, whether it's a serious Mozart discussion forum, Something Awful, or PayMeToHumpThings.net, they usually act in a manner that's presentable to the outside world.
If you're more of a nerd than most, (and let's face it, you're reading Something Awful) you probably heard that a week or two ago AOL mistakenly released 3 months of logs from its AOL Search engine, and now the logs are all over the place online.
One of our forum goons, xGryph, coded up a nice little search tool to let us easily look through the 2 gigabytes of logs.

 For those who have wondered about Something Awful forums... - SpeedGuide.net Broadband Community
A quick disclaimer though, SA forums are not tame, while you will not see too many nude pictures or what not, actually with the forums that are open I think nude pictures are bannable, so no worries there.
Anywho, the SA forums are open, just wanted to let anyone who might be curious as to what they were all about.
Not bashing on any other forum, nor should we turn this into a debate about which forums are the greatest.

We’ve been using vBulletin to run the Something Awful Forums for many years now.
UltimateBB, perhaps the grandaddy of today’s discussion forum paradigm, was late to the PHP market and now suffers from hideous UI problems.
My first try resulted in something that performed well, but was not as extensible or as modular as I needed.

Forums like that need mods who know better and are willing to take action.

 Some spooky pictures - Unexplained Mysteries Discussion Forums
Yea i later found out this was a massive hoax posted at Something awful forums, as a scam to spread it around to every forum and have that exact story to make people think the person is just to dumb to notice all the figures.
Sucks how people thought they would just go around pranking everyone to make them belive in something that was intentionally planned to scare people and think that our world is really that haunted.
Evidently the hoaxer sent a couple of the photos in to "Coast to Coast", and someone else wrote in to let them know that the photos were hoaxes, and provided a link to the forum where the guy admitted the hoax.

 About linking to Something Awful - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums
The Something Awful server detects the referring page, and it it isn't on somethingawful.com, the image you were linking gets replaced with an image that, were you to post it intentionally, will get you banned.
Bandwidth often costs people money, and linking images directly from someone's website to these forums could cost them a lot of money, or in the case of limited bandwidth hosts like geocities, knock their site completely off the internet.
Of course, the more tech savvy people might spot you wasting their bandwidth in their referrer logs, and do a switch and rename - ie they replace the image you're leeching with something else (like goatse, huge.jpg or something else) and rename the old image on their own site something different.

My point was that it truly meant something different when used as slang.
