it is a huge Internet forum thing. It is like ilx and metafilter went back in time and created some sort of monstrous general interest and Internet comedy forum and charged $10 to join. Now less relevant than 4chan in the lulz space.

Xp

xxp well their forums are around for like 10 yrs now and they developed a big community with quite a distinctive sense of humour and style of posting. I used to lurk a lot on SA forums, back when PHIZ (hipster shitposting subforum) was available to read for free, but I'm glad I wasn't stupid enough to pay 10$ for a damn account. ILXOR has the same for free.

it's like 4chan was actually funny and wasn't anonymous

Something Awful is a web forum that contains cool creative people and also shitty internet nerds, and also some cool creative shitty internet nerds.

is this basically everyone being talked about itt? like this seems enough of a thing that it's a subgenre of Twitter users or whatever, but if it's essentially a SA circlejerk then maybe not (even though I really like it)

a handful of them are goons but a bunch have "joined" on twitter

I think it's all just a SA circle jerk about 1.) corporate branding 2.) space aliens 3.) everything else

from what i can tell its become a broader twitter subgenre w/the SA users as its originators and core

boring_as_heck has never posted to SA, despite being an integral member of twitcrew

i feel like this is where we should discuss maxs burgeoning role as their liaison to the msm

also johns strange love affair w/wolfpuppy

wolf pupy is def top 3, maybe top 1

how many of them are ade, is what i want to know

i dont really vibe to wolf puppy that hard

his highs aren't the highest highs but he's the most consistent

famouscrab is funny

bandit, dril and dinkmagic are the funniest and most consistent imo

this girl is a lol https://twitter.com/#!/lolzque its all in one voice/style ive noticed being thrown around a lot

i like this guy too https://twitter.com/#!/ahuj9

agree re bandit and dril tho

big fan of moewytchdog too

one thing i dont like is some of these guys will start talking abt indie rock and it totally breaks the spell

you should tell them max 'no more indie rock'

wolfpuppy is the classic account where i rofl at a RT then go to the account and it's just a bunch of not funny tweets -- dudes like this should tweet like... 3 times a day at maximum -- peanutfreemom had the same problem

bandit & dril are def the best

feel like bandit has fallen off tho after the name change

bandit/dril/dinkmagic have really good QC it just means fewer tweets

i'm not sure how she fits into this 'world' or whatever but i really love tricia lockwood's tweets

yes totally

(who I think is now skatewytch?)

thats km4cash iirc

and dropkick is her bf though if theyre SA posters they could very well be the same person on gimmick accounts

max, you never weighed in on the iRespectSimpson subplot

i kinda lost the plot a couple weeks in, i think i unfollowed

the first few days of real bart were among the funniest events of 2011 though

all thing are milhorse

the day i discovered thebibandit was one of the better in that whole miserable year

elder bart not much better

luckily he doesn't tweet very much

yeah I posted on SA for years and most of these guys are fyads or refugees from deleted fyad-lites. the thread that bi bandit's username either came from or inspired is really brilliant, it's just a series of escalating x bandit puns. the party line is fyad hasn't been "good" since 2008ish but most of its current best posters (@sskylark, bi bandit, @dinkmagic, @woodmuffin) are on twitter now. (@fart is now exclusively on twitter because smashmouth humiliated him by eating the eggs, causing irreparable Ownage)

sorry, that's a lot of text. just want 2 relish being a Guy Who Knows Things

does phiz still exist? been missing lurking through it, makes me wonder if more phiz regulars are now on twitter

yeah, it's still there.

fyad still has a few brilliant threads a year, but twitter really IS fyad now

docevil's a sack of shit and being shamed off the boards was the highlight of his posting career

yeah I think there are a lot of FYAD posters who are like "I'm not really funny nor do I bring anything to the table, but this is FYAD so any random shit I post here is going to be funny", then once the good posters left it was pretty much all those guys

what happened w docevil

ugh i dont even wanna link it. just type docevil into google and autocomplete will do the rest 4 u

idk if you saw SRN's or Bloach's series of tweets but iirc they are withholding sympathy on the basis of tree_bro's apparent refusal to get help and they see "addiction is a disease" as a shitty rebuttal because he had a pretty strong support system (?) but I think Katie N.'s response is really human and tactful and addresses all sides of it and like, this is a regular-ass human being, not Joe Pa, so I wish those dudes had been a little more compassionate even if they had issues w/him but I guess that reeks of Care

armchair analysis of a bunch of twitter assholes' feelings

yeah SRN was tweeting at me about it yesterday. and mobute is being kind of an ass about it too.

I'm sure those guys will have something that is really difficult to overcome at some point in their lives and they will then go through it and still have no idea how to relate to others

"I told u I was hardcore" was one of the last things Vedas typed, and is often used sarcastically on internet message boards and discussion sites.

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response

its kinda compelling imho how people react to this super real tragic event popping up through all the layers of comedy abstraction irony artifice playfulness and whatever else that characterized their relationships, their lil art project, I cant really judge people for behaving however they do, its a p peculiar situation

even thrush made a kinda nice tweet tho

ive been waiting for the dark side of the yad to unveil itselves to yall... once u know... the laughs dont come so easy...

nah i mean im not surprised, i think im actually more surprised at how care-y the twetcru is

tbh i had seen that screenshot before

it is p gross tho!

so is it cooler to care or not to care, I'm confused

oh no, this stuff is small potatoes. i was still talking about when they harassed a wikipedia editor into killing himself, and then had a huge thread where they spent page after page bragging and joking about it. only one guy on the entire forum expressed the tiniest reservation over it. the entire thing was so gruesome and cruel that i could never look at them or the board in the same way again

yeah thats horrible, i kinda want to ask u for details, but kinda not

that's ty peppar, right, ade? I'm not really up on this stuff because I only read FYAD for the funny WET BUTT posts ("[laughs] Tiesto ftw.")

so is it cooler to care or not to care, I'm confused

ivestigating is fun I think is what it comes down to, tho I dont actually know what you're talking abt, we researched a guys life here once

Yeah, but iirc, it was just research and you never did anything with it like contacting him or goading him into killing himself. Tiny difference imho.

tbf I did later goad him into killing himself I just never told Ilx abt it

last thing I remember was all the Flying Squid stuff which toed the line between "this guy really deserves this" and "maybe everyone needs to cool down and stop taking this shit so seriously"

man every time I think abt how that army guy wouldnt tell us who the other guy was I get so mad

As I suspected. His insistence that he couldn't bear the trademark infringement is pretty weak. And if they ditched that, then what got them shut down? Not that @foodnetwerk were my favorite ever, but some of their individual tweets WERE my favorites ever.

why is everyone suddenly referring to this as 'weird twitter' and where did this start

http://digifesto.com/2012/08/11/field-notes-and-psa-weird-twitter/

i care less about when it started than when for god's sake will it STOP

and a response to the twitter response http://digifesto.com/2012/10/16/weird-twitter-the-symbolic-construction-of-community-through-iterative-reification/

i follow a bunch of "weird twitter" people but i don't know how you can define a community based on who-follows-and-interacts-with-whom because it's all so fluid and permeable and contingent. do you define it by style or method? am i "weird twitter"? i don't think so. others might say yes.

what is love? what is a hipster? what is weird twitter?

you're pretty funny, kind of weird

ha weird twitter is the ultimate subtweet

omg that second blog post is.... is...

shut it down folks

Psychoanalytically, we might infer that @hell_homer’s suffers severe cognitive dissonance over his identification with “weird twitter”.

hmm yes, i will use a big adverb to characterize this phenomenon, ahh um hmm yes ah

I have discovered a community of "crap blogger".

can describe jokes but does not get jokes

ban college kids from the internet

This is a blog about my technological, political, and academic interests. I am a PhD student at UC Berkeley School of Information. Since starting that program, this blog has turned into something of an open notebook.

i like "weird twitter" as a name

i mean its NOT a "community" its like a... network? a territory of twitter? "weird twitter" is a better name for those things that eg "twitcrew" or "jokemen" or whatever, which imply cliques or communities

reminds me of when music journalists, especially british ones a few years ago, called a bunch of music "new weird america"

well most of the original weird twitter people came from a defined community, the FYAD forum on somethingawful. since then it's obviously perpetuated into a much bigger thing though

'keep twitter weird' - me, when asked to comment on weird twitter

i just recoil at the the word weird tbh

for me it's more just a style of using twitter (abstract/nonsequitor/funny vs. hey check out this article on mashable)

people who post that way tend to want to follow people who do too, thus "crews" or networks or subcultures

right but "weird twitter" i would think also includes a bunch of new people + the dada stalinists + so many bots + like nancy grace

i'm so weird and random

like nancy grace is not part of "twitcrew" but she does exist in "weird twitter," thats why its more helpful to talk about it as a territory or attitude

she is a weird retwitter

weird twitter is usually only funny when its my friends doing it imo

stranger weird twitter is like w/e it's just a stranger spouting off

yeah anyway when you hand me a medium that forces such a tiny character limit my instinct is that its most fitting use is for jokes & nonsense - if i'm going to be saying serious stuff i want the option of having more space to elaborate

I just use twitter to find out and remind myself about shows that's p much it

now lets all go back to pasting tweets we like

Tech toys get played with and an academic finds significance in this shockah.

every ischool ph.d student has to write about something before they don't get a job.

aimless is not weird twitter

i still like the term better than "youtube poop"

regarding nancy grace and horse_ebooks, that stuff wouldn't have been considered weird until it was curated and recontextualized through RTs

horse_ebooks is pretty fucking strange regardless

if something is weird in the forest

horse_ebooks is curated by its creators now, or at least its algorithm is a lot more sophisticated at hitting funny/meaningful fragments than it was when i started following it a couple years ago

i dont think most would have given horse_ebooks a second thought unless it had been framed as random absurdist poetry

like it used to actually just be random sentences from horse-related ebooks

ebook descriptions, rather

xp the way horse_ebooks is now, they would!

though in the past, yeah it was just your typical spambot that occasionally had funny horse-related tweets. I wonder what really happened there

seems like he's now generating the tweets from all sorts of ebooks but now there's someone at the helm who maybe keeps cycling through them until he finds one bizarre enough to actually tweet out?

yeah there are definitely different heuristics generating/selecting tweets now.. probably also involving human interaction

right, but i'm still convinced they're auto generated. i can't see a human coming up with some of this stuff.
