minimalist - 2011-05-04 Many of the SA subforums are quite worthwhile. Ain't no shame in saying so except in the eyes of some of the ossified POE "old guard" cleaving to a meaningless rivalry from a fucking decade ago, but who gives a shit what they think

Sudan no1 - 2011-05-04 POE-red was the original "laugh at Chris-chan-type people" site, but was frequented by people smart enough to know if you directly harass the weirdos, they'll stop being funny.
SA was accused of stealing links to weirdos from POE. In addition to 'stealing links,' the goons trolled the weirdos, and made some of them shut down their geoshitties pages. That's a pretty legitimate way to piss off the ancient race of POEtards. THAT on TOP of all the usual reasons people hate goons (10bux, etc)
Something Awful and POE had a mutual linking thing going for a while to quell the rivalry.
After 4chan and ED came around, SA started to look like internet white knights in comparison, so everyone forgets their 'raiding' days.

baleen - 2011-05-04 It was a really good prime directive. It kept the fun alive. Also, a lot of people on somethingawful are/were whiny, racist, sexist, homophobic assholes who routinely fucked everything up and made the internet less fun. That being said, I still visit there once in a blue moon for photoshop fridays and flashtub.

The Mothership - 2011-05-05 photoshop Friday used to be solid, but they have been slipping lately. They were called goons for a reason.

theSnake - 2011-05-05 its actually because SA is full of fat nerds in fedoras that think they are cool and funny but actually aren't

Tom Collins - 2011-05-05 The rivalry is that PoE knows the difference between "it's" and "its", and can spell "schizophrenic".

Ursa_minor - 2011-05-05 Yeah, I fucked up "It's". That's embarrassing.
No honestly, the subforums are actually pretty good and informative if you're into certain things. GBS and the other main forums are shit, and full of fucktards, but are occasionally funny.
I guess I'm only speaking about the automotive forum though, as I'm a car nerd - it's really good, and filled with a lot of helpful dudes. There are no tags, and the VTECHOMG shit is frowned upon. It's a no-bullshit forum, in that sense.
I don't know much about the rivalry - I learned about POE back in like, 2001 or something like that because my friend had an email account here. Way before I heard of somethingawful.
:(
I'm not even fat, nor do I have a beard. I like both places.
Why do we have to fight? I feel like a kid who's parents are in a bitter divorce.
