   @wxcafe jeff atwood's only weakness is when someone makes fun of his idea for how forums should work

     @wxcafe before stackoverflow existed in any meaningful capacity he paid for an account on the SomethingAwful forums and told us that our forum was run wrong and how his idea was revolutionary and SomethingAwful was going to die if it didn't adapt.
     
     He got like tens of pages of insults before he slunk away, and I think he also had his account banned for a while too. i don't think it was permabanned but that wouldn't surprise me. I recall that Lowtax was involved, but can't remember.
     
     Ahhh, Lowtax. I have no idea how he afforded a Skyline GTR from the SA forums as his only source of income, but he made it happen! #TeamWorkMakesTheDreamWork
