Man, hiro did absolutely no maintenance on the site after buying it from moot, did he?

Not like moot was any better, he let the site be infested with those pieces of shit from stormfront, and even created a whole new cancer-infested board for them.

Darkly funny that one of SomethingAwful's main legacies is the 15 year old idiot mod of FYAD starting an anime image board that swiftly morphed into a breeding ground for chuds

SomethingAwful was an amazing moment in Internet history, but it seems everybody involved in its operation ended up in a Greek tragedy of epic proportions. The wreckage is still washing up in the damndest places.
