Something Awful Forums

The Something Awful Forums (http://forums.somethingawful.com ) or SA forums are hosted on the internet comedy site SomethingAwful.com. Originally a community surrounding the site's comedy-oriented front page, it's grown to one of the largest and most popular forums on the internet, with the front page taking a backseat in popularity. SomethingAwful charges $10 to register an account, and is actively moderated, a form of curation that largely ensures that content remains fresh and useful, and ensuring that a lot of the drama found on other forums and sites stays out. The Let's Play forums are a sub-set of the SA Games Forum, and are the premiere source on the internet for quality LPs, especially hybrid and SSLPs. The LP forum is heavily integrated with the LP Archive and much of the archive's content came from SA. The SA forums also gave birth to LPix.org, a custom image hosting site specifically for SSLPs, with its own uploading tool.
