it was started by a mod in the something awful forums


A ton of intelligence officers used to hang out in something awful too back in the day. Like not in the 'navy seal copypasta' keyboard warrior sense, but people I knew personally and knew they were actual intelligence officers.


Sean Smith aka Vilerat was a mod in the SomethingAwful forums for years before his untimely passing. He banned me for making fun of Hamid Karzai.


i think i got banned by either vilerat or brown moses for shitting up dnd, years ago


If I were in charge of an intelligence agency front organization, I'd have a civilian cutout head it.


Regardless, they are widely respected though.

They were the leading grass-roots org that covered the eastern Ukrainian conflict really well.
