Something Is Awful (Website/Hoax, Richard Kyanka/Dr. David Thorpe/Kevin Pereira/Chris Putnam, 2005)

When a writer for notorious comedy website Something Awful got a TV interview on G4's Attack of the Show, the website's owner instructed him to prevent people joining the site as a result by making it seem terrible... and to give the wrong URL, which led to a phony site, which you can view on the Wayback Machine here.

You can watch the interview here, and read a little about its history in a contemporary NeoGAF forum thread here.

You can learn a LOT more about Something Awful from the podcast I'm From the Internet.

I reblogged it earlier but I'm glad the Something Awful Forums 9/11 thread was archived because it's an incredibly important slice of internet history. For the record I think 9/11 was thousands of personal tragedies for the direct victims of the attacks but one big national farce that led to America's ongoing slide into fascism, and the nationalism and remembrance around it is a joke especially in the wake of the same amount of deaths every fucking day in the US during the height of coronavirus.

Nevertheless I think it's important that if you do not remember because you were too young or just didn't exist on Sept 11, 2001 to read the Something Awful 9/11 forums to get an idea of what the internet was like at the moment when America changed to 24 hour news cycles and renewed hyper-nationalism not seen since WWII.

This all happened before Twitter, Facebook, before Discord. Before smart phones. Before most people had cell phones. When a lot of people still had dial-up internet, even. Some people in the thread were relying on radio because internet and TV weren't keeping up.

It was a live event of internet denizens reacting to the biggest national event (and among the biggest international events) of the past 25 years. It was also a slice of what the internet was like at the turn of the millennium. Not only that, but people accurately calling out who was responsible, and what would result before the attacks even finished.

Keep in mind that the links that follow contain images of the event, lots of Islamophobia, people calling for the Middle East to be nuked, people blaming Palestine, casual racist and homophobic language (this was Something Awful after all), etc etc. They preserved the first 17 pages which spanned about 24 hours during the events. It's the origin of the "WATCH BUSH START A FUCKING WAR" screenshot.

Links under the fold. I've also annotated the pages with notes regarding the timeline and any posts of interest. Note the thread was preserved in Pacific Time even though the page says times are Eastern. That's incorrect. Post timestamps are 3 hours behind Eastern Time, which is the time zone where the attacks occurred:

Page 1 - Note the first post was edited to include images of the second attack. The thread started after the first plane hit. Second plane hitting the WTC happens here too.

Page 2 - Poster accurately calling out Bin Laden was responsible at 9:14 AM EST

Page 3 - "WATCH BUSH START A FUCKING WAR"

Page 4

Page 5 - First official acknowledgement it was a terrorist attack.

Page 6 - Pentagon hit

Page 7

Page 8

Page 9 - Commercial flights grounded by FAA (Federal Aviation Administration)

Page 10 - First mention of towers collapsing at end of page

Page 11 - More reactions to collapse of first tower. People thinking it was a bomb or yet another plane. Rumors about a fourth plane just missing the White House (these are false and predate the actual 4th plane crash by minutes)

Page 12

Page 13 - By this point there's just rampant speculation about more bombs at the WTC, the US Capitol building being hit, etc (all false). Remember this is all just people reacting to TV news and radio and the rumor mill via phone, AIM, IRC, and maybe text messages.

Page 14 - By this point internet news sites are overwhelmed

Page 15 - Second tower collapses. First acknowledgement of the fourth plane that crashed in PA.

Page 16 - There's an abrupt time jump in the threads, I think it was the result of admins pruning the activity or the SA forums going down. This page starts on 9/12 even though it is page 16. American flag signatures and ribbons start appearing.

Page 17

Yair Lapid conducts damage control with wavering allies: Democrats and American Jews

It was easy to miss, but Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid was in the U.S. last week, visiting with American Jewish leaders and a couple of members of Congress. Lapid is himself not in a great political position right now as the notable plummet Benjamin Netanyahu has taken in the Israeli polls has benefited Benny Gantz, not, as one might expect, Opposition Leader Lapid. Still, he tried to…

Flashback builds gingerbread houses!

Since 2011, Flashback arranges a competition in December for building the best gingerbread house. Users gather all their creativity and assemble their masterpieces, they post images of their contributions and other users then vote for their favorite! It’s a pleasant and festive tradition on Flashback and it's endorsed by admin himself

Translation of the last paragraph:

"Many thanks to all who participate. Funniest gingerbread house competition ever. I'm indeed biased, but I can promise that I would've held the same opinion if I weren't biased. Last year's contributions were spread on forums overseas and in social media, where people amusedly wondered what we were up to in Sweden. There's a reason for this. Christmas baking is supposed to be fun. Thank you, all you Flashbackers who make Christmas a lot more fun.

admin"

Unfortunately, the interest for the competition has been pretty low throughout the years, in 2019 it was cancelled because there were too few participants. But it was back again in 2020! Here are the competition rules:

The gingerbread house shall have the participator's name and year visible.

The gingerbread house shall have a name.

The gingerbread house shall have an explanation of the contribution.

The gingerbread house is expected to be designed as a building.

The gingerbread house shall be designed by the person who builds it/competes with it.

The gingerbread house shall only be built of edible parts (not including lighting and cotton).

The gingerbread house shall contain "gingerbread".

The gingerbread house shall be documented with stills.

Here are some of the previous years' winners:

2021: “The storming of The Capitol” by user Stegosaurusen

2011: “Taj Mahal” also by user Stegosaurusen

“The three wise men turned out good… but the stall itself imploded.” By user Moramannen

“Snow dreams” by user duckling

Some other contributions throughout the years:

2022: “Saddam Hussein’s secret bunker!” by user Hivmannen

2021: “An ode to Flashback” by user Luismi

“Christmas cosiness outside the crack house.”

“During Christmas, peace reigns among political opponents. Completely impossible to photograph the political corner from a fair angle. The whole phone is full of icing after several failed attempts.”

“Blurry Nazis.”

“Equally blurry anarchists and militant feminists.”

2014: “Kiruna Church” by user NordSvitjod

The winner of 2023’s competition:

“The Burrow” by user lucky-luci

Two of the competitors from 2023:

“The snow lies white..” by user Jultrollet

”Christmas coziness in the Dekorima corner” by user Messi2022

“Olof Palme’s last breath in a Christmas guise.”

Domain name keeperofgreenhaven.net has been purchased, according to the results of the poll. (This means that now, no one else can put a site on that name.)

Thanks to all who participated in the poll!
