SMBC Comics Forum

The Outlands were here from the beginning, I think New Outlandia was a more recent attempt to recreate it, and Edminster gave mod powers initally to Astasia and your friend Cirtur.

You're nearly right.

The only two forums initially around were SMBC and General. This is, of course, following the horrific fireball explosion of the previous version of the forums, where all posts were lost and in the ghastly miasma of death only a few of the posters returned for the New Age.

Then, Zach... well, okay, it was probably Dani, honestly. Zach's never really paid more attention to the forums than he has to. Anyway, then Dani decided we needed something else, for the deplorable posts that brightened nobody's day. Hawhaw and Tucker were arguably a contributing factor to this, and definitely took the blame. Some of this can be read here, in Zach's intro post.

I'm sure the Lexicon has some of this hidden in its depths, but it's a monster just too unwieldy for me to tackle at this present moment (give me time).

where do you come from, where the names are brutal and simple? sounds like a nice place

The far off realms of stormfront and neopets....

And also a wrestling forum or two, as I am seeking genetically viable mate and chicks dig the 'pecs

I used to be a hipster, before being one became all mainstream.

Like all the stuff hipster's like, only claim it is all out of irony.

Then, and only then, will you reach the hipster causality.

But what if everyone else is doing that too?

Create a new hipster class. Promote it as the new counter-culture, all the while eschewing it, while ironically embracing the previous hipster class.

To be ironic, countless hipsters will flock to this new class but, realising their mistake, will then be forced to create a new class of hipster, ironically embracing their previous heritage as hipsters ironically embracing hipster-ism.
The cycle continues.

I have thought that I should create a T-shirt that says "My Ironic* Black T-Shirt Outranks Yours" that people could wear around this shirt or this one that used to exist.

*I have determined that rules about using this word do not apply when talking about clothing.

I think if I had a shirt it would probably say something along the lines of "I AM WEARING A SHIRT" and have a picture of a rad zombie in spiked plate armour with epaulettes which are ON FIRE playing the electric guitar while standing on the back of a red-glowing-eyed bear with rabies in full battle armour with a lightning-struck red wasteland in the background and a volcano which is erupting blood.

If that shirt is anything like how I picture it, I would buy it if it were $10 or less.

I would not buy that shirt, I would make it myself.

Make it for me, instead!
