    Default snarkpit question

    Yeah, I read it...

    Is S2 real? Most of the time it seems like a giant joke played on the stupid (by the stupid), but every now and then...

    I am extremely late usually on the off-boards/sites and the gossip, and only found the SnarkPit recently. I read a few threads on there and have been wondering the same thing as you.

    The thing that bothers me is that apparently a lot of dopers who are soft and snuggly on the dope go there to be mean jerks about the some people they cuddle on the SDMB. That way they can maintain their nice reputation and still get their jollies. That kind of two-facedness disturbs me.
    I don't think so, therefore I'm probably not.

    Ew. That does seem pretty nasty.

    The snarkpit was a lot funnier two years ago. There was really some good stuff.

    S2 isn't real.

    S3 though....

    The Snackpit has been a joke for the last few years. It used to be witty, snarky and funny. Now it's just children posting "No, u." back and forth at each other.

    S2 is imaginary, and their desperate attempt to make themselves somehow "special."

    There are really two snark boards. The Snarkpit Deadjournal that everyone knows and loves, and then the Snark Science Society page run by the ever friendly CarnalK here: http://cloudhelmut.4t.com

    Not much added to that one in a while though.

    I've been directed to the Snarkpit a couple of times by people eager to let me know I'd been mentioned (I'm a crazy cunt, apparently :mrgreen: ). I was aware of it's existence before that, and based on the whole "board that shall not be named" meme on SDMB, I found it terribly disappointing.

    What's S2 (ostensibly)?

    Exactly. Reading some of the old threads, it used to be real snark, and pretty funny, at that. Now, it's filled with trolls and others who've been banned from the SDMB yet can't seem to let it go. Also, it's pretty much an open secret that some of the SDMB staff at least read it, and from comments there over the past few days, I think there's at least one current admin that posts there.

    DianaG, S2 is supposed to be the super secret snark board. It's an inside joke, there.

    Well, back when I was a member of the SDMB, I joined the snackpit because it wasn't so freaking cuddly all the time. No one could really accuse me of being two-faced (I attached my name to my snackpit posts, and I wasn't cuddly anyway). But the fact that the overall vibe on the SDMB shifted, over time, to being extremely sweet and cuddly doesn't mean that everyone liked it. I hung out there in spite of that.

    I guess my point is that the fact that they had two different vibes doesn't mean that individual people were being cuddly one minute and cruel the next.

    So does anybody else just read it looking for stuff about themselves? Yes, I'm immature.

    On occasion. But I usually fly under the radar of that place. Nothing I post is that controversial or inflammatory. Or stupid, thank Ghu.

    It's also been a genuinely useful outlet during periods of upheaval at the Dope.

    The two-faced thing -- meh. If someone's pulling that off, they must have a LOT of energy to burn. Why bother.

    The impression I got was that that's exactly what people do. Post in MPSIMS and be all fluffy and then hop on over to the snarkpit and kick the person they were just sending (((hugs))) to. Maybe I'm wrong. I've spent maybe an hour at the snarkpit.
    I don't think so, therefore I'm probably not.

    I'm sure some people do that, I just also have a strong suspicion that there were plenty of other people besides me at the snackpit who weren't at all cuddly on the SDMB.

    It seems equally as likely to me that the bashing posts are unrelated to the hugs posts. Some people just don't like other people, and the snark boards give them the opportunity to vent. And if anyone here is surprised that people could be two-faced, snarky, vindictive, or just superficially mean - welcome to the real world.

    Speaking of, I found myself over the past weekend idly wondering if Cloudy would show up here...

    The SDMB LiveJournal page -- seriously, do people outside of Russia even still use LiveJournal? -- is often quite snarky, and it's not anonymous. It's not updated all that frequently, though.

    Thank god someone asked this question. I've been wondering about S2 for months.

    I love dipping into the snackpit and seeing what's got the nonnys all a-flutter of late. It's led to some interesting threads in the past.

    I do. I update fairly regularly. I have fifteen or so friends that update, plus a number of communities.
