SomethingAwful (or SA) is an oldfag website created and founded by Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka on November 16th 1999, originally as a personal website where he could go on his schizo rants, but later grew to be a variety website hosting entries from Lowtax and other literal whos. It also has its own forum, which btw you need to pay to register an account and view the posts there. The SA users are called "goons", if that matters (geg).
It is arguably the most influential site on the Internet, with the earliest memes you can probably think of most likely originating from there.[1] It also spawned 4chan, initially as a safespace for Moot and his friends to masturbate to loli porn after Lowtax banned it from being posted on the forums, which in turn would spawn soyjak.party, which also became a safespace for the Soymmunity after a major incident in November 2021 where the (((moderators))) purged the kway catalog and locked the board from new posts being created there. However, it's only real contribution to modern internet culture is the word "troon", which was short for "transgender goon" (who make up the majority of Something Awful's dwindling userbase in current year), but evolved into a slur referring to trannies.
SomethingAwful now redirects to their forum, meaning that its dead or something.
The founder, Lowtax, killed himself on November 9th 2021 after being exposed as a selfish little fuck and domestic abuser the previous year (more like lowt-ACK, amirite).[2][3]
