It's awful. Why is it still here?

Maybe it is just me, but I thought that the recent consensus is that FPPs using SA are a bad idea.

Well that's to their fully public site, not one of their forums.

If their forums are accessible to the public, then they're "fully public", whether they want them linked elsewhere or not. Perhaps they would realize this if they didn't have more jackasses per capita than the Penny Arcade boards, and that's quite an accomplishment indeed.

The worst part is that the jackasses PAY to be a part of the forums...

Anyway, I thought that the mental hospital FPP was great.

Jeesh, a few months ago someone linked to this somethingawful forum thread, "My mother is insane" and it wasn't a problem.

Linking to the main website is not a problem. Linking to articles in the forums where people have asked "dont share this outside of the forums" is a problem.

Keep in mind that public (non-pay) access to the forums may not have been in effect at the time the article was posted.

SpecialK, wow, thanks for calling me (and other MeFi members) jackasses.
