After 20 years online, the institutional furry art community FurAffinity.net has recently been struggling to pay their bills. While things seemed to have stabilized for now, it's a great excuse to discuss the history of the site! We're looking at the primordial ooze of small furry websites and forums that existed before FurAffinity, its initial creation, and some of the early turbulence of its reign.

You're probably familiar with the classic Machinima adaptation of Halflife: Fulllife Consequences by the Fanfiction.net user Squirrelking. Half-Life wasn't the only franchise Squirrelking wrote about, and Squirrelking isn't the only identity they used online.

Over the course of my life, Wikipedia has gone from the place you weren't allowed to use in school to the only good website left. If you feel the need to add a "citation needed" to that last statement, you'll feel right at home among the unsung heroes of today's episode: The Wikipedia editors that work hard to make sure we never encounter this fearsome rogue's gallery whenever we check the free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit.

We're finally talking about the Doom Bathroom! One of the most well-known sagas from the Something Awful forums, this bathroom renovation gone awry is a classic tale of hubris and masculinity gone awry.

Webcomics have been a thing since 1985! This week we're talking about one of the few first-generation webcomics that is still active decades later: Sabrina Online. This 1996 slice-of-life comic strip about an improbably attractive and underdressed computer nerd might have been a bit of a punching bag in the early days of the internet, but 30 years later it's doing better than you might think for reasons you might not expect.

With Adult Swim's breakout sci-fi comedy adventure show in its ninth season, you might be wondering "Wait, nine seasons?!". We're going back to season three, when a joke about McDonald's dipping sauce got way out of hand and became the second most embarrassing disaster to come out of Rick & Morty's success.

We had the internet back in 2001! So one of the most infamous days in American history has a live real-time record of peoples' reactions, if you know where to look. We're going back to the Something Awful forums to relive that awful day and see how people reacted.

So many episodes of our show have focused on ripoffs, if only there was somewhere on the internet you could complain about being ripped off. Good news! That place exists, and it's called RipoffReport.com

The bad news? It's infested with both literal and metaphorical clowns.
