I was wondering if I missed something on this. Is there a reason why you're switching between handles?

It's obvious to me that they are the same person. I figured that there was some reason for this that I missed.

My guess is that he was having a hard time controlling himself, so he created an alt where he could vent to his heart's content without having to worry about his primary getting banned.

Okay, I thought that this was something that was probably public knowledge and that there was a reason given for it. I'm not around that much, so I miss things.
I'd still like an explanation, but my surmise from when I started this thread was incorrect and I don't really expect one now.

This post is probably one of the ones that gave me the impression that they were the same person.
I can't find the explicit link that I thought I remembered, so I'm thinking I was wrong. Just two people with "Sam" in one of their names. Or Samprimary has a friend named Parkour who lets him use his login.

this is like when I was THE (sam)PRIMARY SUSPECT for hatrack getting spamtrolled with encyclopedia dramatica articles.
FUN FACTS ABOUT PARKOUR:
- Also a sam - Also a filthy colorodan - Also a goon - Boring conversationalist ('hm, I agree' 'hm, yes, that sounds reasonable') - Taller than me and stars in videos where he speedruns up rockfaces

There are more than two goons on Hatrack?

Goodness. Even among those of you I bother to pay attention to, I doubt I would recognize your writing style.

For me, it was likely a hunch reinforced by a lot of confirmation bias to the point where I thought I was picking up on "style". I'm sorry about that, both of you.

I'm surprised both of them are goons. I consider myself an inactive goon. I have a SA account, and I played WOW in a goon guild. When we play the same games we tend to roll together.

MrSquicky just has to come to terms with the fact that I am over half of the forum by now. Including the simperers who surmise that I'm so worried about getting banned (lol) that I use smurfs. Where do the old posters go? I'm not telling. In two years it'll just be MrSquicky talking with ten of me about how two other people also seem to be me.

We're actually clones, he's a phenotype — the 'octenary' — designed for trying to kill himself climbing rocks. I don't know what the central office was thinking with that one.

Goons is a thing? I thought that was an uncharacteristic moment of self-deprecation.

quote:Goon - Members of the Something Awful Forums. They were named this after repeated verbal attacks on a website caused the owner to complain to Something Awful owner Lowtax about him and his "goons."
Goons have neckbeards, no real-life social skills, a tendency for whining about dumb superficial crap, and a knack for shutting down anyone who has anything worth making fun of. They're known for their sarcastic and elitist tendencies, though many on the internet find them hilarious.
Usually proud members of such Forums as GBS, BYOB, FYAD, or ADTRW, goons patrol the Awful Forums attempting to type funny jokes while their fingers slip off the keyboard due to Cheetos grease.
Goons spew overused catchphrases like "Do you have stairs in your house?" or "All your base are belong to us," though they are also responsible for founding and popularizing various internet memes, web sites, and trends.

The weird part of all goonery is that SA continues to be about the best forum on the world, with a capacity to segregate its own neckbeardism.

I think a big part of that is the sheer number of forums and sub forums. Many goons never leave some of the sub forums. It makes for a situation where you can get *very* pertinent and specific advice for a variety of topics from investing to gardening.

Best not say such things for fear of the 4chan gods.

SA indirectly spawned 4chan, much to the chagrin of all goons not in ADTRW.

Kinda surprised that you're a goon though I shouldn't be. It is a pretty diverse community especially with the way some subforums never go outside to the rest of the site. BTW, I found its only fun to play with Goon Squad if you don't give a crap about the game otherwise. Posts: 262 | Registered: May 2004

Samp: While I agree katharina would probably find SA to be a terrible place, that was a terrible way to convey that thought. Don't do that please.

My post being within the TOS in this instance (and true, serious advice) is practically irrelevant. Especially now that the forum's gone flat-out ridiculous again. =)
