I never really thought Dave was all that funny, he had his moments like everyone else,but I can think of 5 funnier posters right off the bat. But geez............. he was fucking Larry David compared to these clumsy hacks that are popping up trying to be the new him. Are there really this many people that were too scared to post what they wanted because they were afraid of "Squadfather"?
that's pathetic.
you gotta realize what "fear" means in this context.
dave is, inarguably, the most prolific poster currently on the site. he posts 50+ times a day on average, over 100 on many days. many people didn't want to get BOMBARDED with his posts by getting on his bad side. look what happened to "no one" or "cushingRW", or candidizzle. SF decides he doesn't like them and in response to
literally every post they made for a while he wouldn't stop posting pictures going "BOOOOOOM!!!

"
it makes posting on the site impossible when you have guys following you around doing that. and anyone SF did that to would inevitably be pounced upon by a few others, making it even harder. it was the schoolyard equivalent of trying to get through a day of school when that one group of friends would shout the same taunts at you incessantly every single day.
ya dig?
