I read Something Awful a lot more than I post there. It's a really heterogeneous community -- some of their subject forums (computers, finance, etc.) are some of the smartest that I've seen, while some of their casual, dingbat forums appear to be mostly subliterate tards. There's definitely some mean, antisocial people on the site, but there's quite a lot of people who simply have razor sharp wits and senses of humor and who don't suffer fools gladly. It can make for some hilarious threads.
I actually like their pay structure far more than the SDMB's -- each fee is a one-time fee, rather than an annual fee, and they don't care at all about multiple accounts. If anything, it's rolled into their punishment structure -- getting banned is basically a $10 fine.
