I've read numerous posts on these forums championing the site's supposed intellectual elitism. And Yahtzee is a member. Is it worth the $10 registration fee?

Site is just as full of morons as any other popular forum. The only difference is that the idiots on SA are less responsible with money. Not much really sets it apart from other places apart from the cash. It's as full of assholes as any other forum.

I have to admit, SA has done things that are fucking great. This is easily one of the most entertaining things I have read online since LP Archive's Tie Fighter Let's Play.

There aren't many idiots there since they tend to get banned quick, but there are plenty of assholes. Just don't get in any fights, or say ":)" and "hugs!" a lot, and you'll be fine. In fact, just don't post unless you have something important to add to the discussion.

Lots of good stuff comes from there. It feels like the brain of the internet sometimes.

I'm sorry, but if the NAME of the website is "Something Awful," then you might want to reconsider your marketing team.
Also, can't you just talk with people you know in real life? It's easier to filter out rude people that way, and it doesn't cost regular increments of $10.
