Unofficial Something Awful Discord
The Something Awful Discord is the the digital equivalent of the Tower of Babel, If it was packed but no one spoke. Originally a large and active discord, due to poor management, ideological purging, and constant purity tests, the discord is almost completely dead, outside of an active but unrelated Path of Exile clan.

History
Alliance with BMW
Increased BMW involvement with the Discord began in January of 2017, when TT and Rejdukien teamed up to make a Linux port for the Conan Exiles server executable. The project was successful, and the relationship between the two groups was fruitful, with many members of the SA Discord joining BMW and vice versa.
In time, TT promoted Taylor first to mod, then later to admin, in an effort to leverage his group leading skills to build the SA Discord even further. Many of the Goon community objected to this, most notably notorious butthurt moron and Vanilla Rust lover, Cheen. TT largely shrugged off the cries of MUH RACISM and MUH NAZIS, but began harboring anger towards Taylor in the form of jealousy that BMW continued to boom while SA Discord was shrinking. Tensions would continue to rise as Taylor and FAT32 clashed in admin chat almost weekly, and FAT using it to leverage TT into believing the source of the Discords problem was BMW and its associated "Nazis".
Bimmer Purge
In March of 2018, GESTAPO uncovered that TT and Kale had been secretly fuming over the fact that BMW was trending upwards while SA Discord remained stagnant. This only infuriated TT and turned him against Taylor, an anger exploited by FAT who, along with astroturfing a campaign to get Taylor banned from SA, convinced TT that he needed to remove Taylor and his loyalists and move the Discord in a more Goon friendly direction, and create a "safe space".
In the confusion, Prude who was still an admin in the Goon Anime Discord, nuked it. This only compounded the problems and TT took it upon himself to purge every last person who spoke up for the Bimmers, including people who werent even Bimmers. Even Kimsemus was briefly caught up in it.
