My Posting Careers is a spinoff of Something Awful.
That is, what would happen if Something Awful and Stormfront had a shit covered ass baby.
Made up of former goons and racists who consider themselves too intellectual for the freak show at Stormfront, they basically spend their days mocking Goons, being racists, mocking Redditors, being racists, mocking Wikipedos, being racists....
....sensing a fucking pattern here?
It's run by Pleasureman, who, in response to someone bitching about why everyone there wasn't on Stormfront:

If this thread is unironic then why bother creating a new forum when Stormfront exists already. If it's ironic then what's the point? You're basically just cheerleading your own race to dying alone and unloved. Go achieve something.
(Pleasureman) - I know you just want to walk off in a huff, but as forum creator allow me to explain, as it gives me the opportunity to make a few points.
Stormfront is white nationalist, i.e. losers. There is a large amount of typical WN paranoia and angst (WWII revisionism for example). The general standards for discussion are very low; fools like David Duke are taken seriously and virtually anything that sticks to the grievance script is accepted. My understanding is that the founder was in KKK and neo-Nazi groups.
Stormfront is also too large. There seems to be a pattern that as these venues increase in scale, they attract more misfits, angry kooks, and unintelligent free riders who simply parrot ideological dogma. Stormfront has a staggering number of forums and subforums, which promotes cliquish subgroups and further petrifies discussion.
I envision MPC as more on the scale of a mailing list or magazine, and am wary of seeing it get too large. I think a healthy amount of turnover is necessary, and when you don't have that turnover you get entrenched, sprawling forums that lose their focus and cater to the lowest common denominator. My role here is partly editorial, to maintain scope and tone and some kind of intellectual standard.
Because of the aforementioned points, Stormfront, like most forums its size, is just too humorless and unself-aware. They unironically sport a kitschy "white pride world wide" emblem and a black letter logo, presumably to remind themselves of their noble Black Forest origins (dude, you grew up in Alabama). Everything about them is trashy and clueless. This is actually the biggest single problem to deal with on the "alternative Right".
Most importantly, I think there is very little worth reading among the massive number of posts there. This is again a problem of scale, where the few worthwhile members are surrounded by hundreds of worthless posters. Assuming there are any worthwhile members at Stormfront, it's too much trouble to find them.
Finally, rejuvenation is vital, particularly on the Right, which is dominated by very rigid thinking. The idea that you should just post on Stormfront, Daily Kos, Red State, HuffPo, or wherever your ideological bent takes you, ignores the importance of new voices to any community. One of the problems of scale is that there are not enough roles for people to move up into, and insisting that everyone stick to a handful of existing websites duplicates that problem.
If you don't like MPC, I couldn't be happier--one of my major aims is to make this forum unappealing to angry malcontents. There are millions of people like you on the Internet, and you have this bizarre idea that you belong everywhere. Why?

tl;dr - We're more intellectual than those inbred rednecks at Stormfront, so go fuck yourself if you don't like that.
The Bloatswallow Saga
MPC once allowed Bloatswallow (i.e. Ash Hutsell) to post on their forums, where she generally was the lone uppity bitch shitposter everyone humored because they thought it was funny as fuck to mock her stupidity, but eventually, since she got tired of being reminded of her place, she was eventually banned by Pleasureman for breaking the forum's rules one too many times, and you'd think that would be the end of that, right?
Hell no. Hutsell spent days emailing whiny shit to Pleasureman, filled with bitchy complaints about him, his posting community, and how he should just fucking die.
She spent days doing this shit, all chronicled in one long thread where he and the other posters basically laughed their asses off, posted banfiction about her, and since she basically was e-stalking Pleasureman, many wondered if the bloated one (who admitted her husband was into ass play) had a crush on Pleasureman and speculated as to whether she wanted to massage his prostate with her hamfists.
The thread detailing that can be read here.
