I caught my ex's new boyfriend sucking his own dick.major updates to the story (look for the threadstarter's eyes icon):
pages 17, 20, 21, 26, 37
police report page 38 (kind of pointless, though)
It could possibly be worth $9.95

... to be a part of such a community, I mean... not worth it to pay for something you can read for free, of course.

all the threads in that vein are in gbs, which costs nothing to view.

Hell, SA forums were the best internet purchase I've ever made.

That, like much of the SA content, just struck me as terribly pathetic. Someone who drives around with machetes and swords (or merely has an active fantasy life about driving around with machetes and swords) is precisely the kind of person I would expect to survive on a steady diet of somethingawful.

one month passes...
Anyone else see the thing in The Guardian today? Sounds like this guy wasted his $9.95...
It probably seemed like a routine query. When a poster called Forbidden Forum appeared on an internet discussion board called the Firing Range, the firearms forum of the website Something Awful, few users raised so much as an online eyebrow. Forbidden Forum, posting on October 26, revealed he was a 19-year-old, living in Orange County, California, who needed to protect himself against a gang he expected to visit his house on Hallowe'en and shoot up his pumpkins; he wanted to know why he was having such difficulty buying Hevi-Shot buckshot for his gun. In a separate post, he gave his name as William Freund.
"Every shop I go to that has it claims it's a waste of money and birdshot is better for personal defence," he said. Shopowners, he said, tried to offer him birdshot and treated him "like I'm buying some armour-piercing bullets or something". So where could he get buckshot in Orange County?
The users leapt in. "A wooden door could stop birdshot," said Radioactivelego. "Just get some buckshot at Turners in Fountain Valley." Millions Knives agreed. "Birdshot makes a nasty but shallow wound ... Use birdshot for little birds. Use 00 buckshot for bad guys." Only The Walrus seemed to think there was a problem. "Wait wait, people are shooting pumpkins with BB guns, and you're going to respond with 'a bunch of 9mm rounds heading your way!'? ... You're going to get the chair."
Then, on October 29, a 19-year-old named William Freund shot and killed a man and his daughter in Aliso Viejo in Orange County, then killed himself.

You left out the best part of that article:
"Something Awful has since sprung into action. The late William Freund has been permabanned from its discussion boards."
