Co-worker Josh birthday is on the 26th. I will be getting him a custom woven image blanket from walmart as a meme gift

Give me your best Skoden Stoodis meme. The winner will receive 10$ prefered payment and will have the honor of being given to my co-worker at the Happy Birthday Josh celebration.

Post your best images in the subreddit within the next week for the best chances of winning. You do not have to accept payment if you dont wish (you may request a donation in your honor if you wish)

This sub isnt gone. But i do ask that those interesting in making this a 3rd place for conversations of the goons+ friends group to help contribute and make this place interesting. To help with that, ill be making weekend plans that (if my brain wills it) will make this place unique compared to the other subs.

Starting October, i would like to do an artist event, with small prizes going to the winners just as an extra incentive to post high quality art. With this in mind, there will be a ban on AI content, except in conversation of how the Goons have used it before.

New user and post flairs will be made. Give suggestions. "Help me find" and "(f)artist" flairs are going to be there to help search the sub and hopefully reduce spam from requests. Any other flairs for stuff besides memes will make searching for specific posts much easier.

Seems like McNasty did finally step up and put some anti-nsfw filters on r/goons, however im unsure how thats going to translate to r/moongooning because i dont think he is the owner of that sub to make that sort of change.

Another main issue is the moderation. A lot of it may be done automatically now but bots get smarter all the time, and if there isnt an active attempt to moderate then they will worm their way back into being an issue again.

For now, it looks like clear skies. Hopefully community engagement increases and we see lots of quality content on the other subs.

As for this sub, i am still looking for moderators. Since i have a lot on my plate in real life, i dont expect this sub to suddenly explode overnight or anything so my mind is at peace regarding the state of the sub. If anyone is interested in helping out, please do send a direct message to me.

Big events coming up. My co-worker (Josh) birthday is coming up, so give me ideas of some stupid stuff to give him, like a Skoden-Stoodis blanket or a cake with a flaming skull on it. I will make sure to post plenty of pictures from the event.

This is a special third place. The existence of this sub is not to undermine, take away from, or make obsolete of r/goons and r/moongooning. This sub is going to co-exist with the other subs, but with a lot more hands on moderation.

The issue with the main subs is lack of interaction. The moderators cant be bothered enough to do basic spam cleanup, where someone doesn't read the ruled before posting and posts unsavory stuff.

My main goal is to have the slop quickly filtered for your viewing pleasure. Less spam, less slop. More enjoyable content and memes.

My secondary goal is community engagement. What isnt jerkbuddy requests and bots getting paid per link click, is just people posting "cant find clip pls help" which is better, but still counts as its own form of spam.

I will not be removing these, theres well over a hundred hours of content for each member of the Goons having their own channels, back up channels, editing styles, and the fact that a joke or bit wont make it into all 4 POVs.

To combat this, i will be doing a weekly event called Karma Farming Fridays. This is full permission to go to any random Goons video, record your favorite bits, and post them on the sub and show off to everyone that you think this is the BEST bit theyve ever done. You can post the same video every Friday if you want, but feel free to spice it up and show off some bits you think are underappreciated.

This will serve to A) create weekly fun interactions and conversations and B) give people looking for clips an easy way to find as many as they want every friday, hopefully reducing spam.

More events will come too. Id like to see more artist drawing Goons brand stuff. I wanna see more artist being inspired by artists, to see how these guys have influenced you. Depending on how this sub grows, i would like to do a monthly art contest with money FROM MY OWN POCKET going to whoever the community is making the best content. More info will be posted as this sub develops and we see intrest in art contests.

And dont be afraid to post content from other collaborators. Yummi, Trippy, Ethan, and Cheezey all deserve more attention in bits even though they arent considered official Goons. Even older interactions that we haven seen the guys play with in a bit, like Grizzy, Smitty, Puffer, and Droid would be gladly accepted as long as they're on topic about the Goons.

And most of all, have fun. There wont be much different here from the main sub besides a little more moderation from me, and whoever decides to sign up. Post memes, on topic or not. As long as youre funny, interesting, and not a hateful loser, this place is open to you.

And always remember

خردلٌ في الشق... يجب لعقه من الخلف.

I am a pirate (M, 51, currently living on a boat but was born in Spain). I used to be Brigadier but after the war i wasnt getting paid to raid British galleons. After work dried up, i had all this experience raiding ships, commanding men, and torrenting videogames online instead of paying for them.

I must ask with the rights of the game currently belonging to Bethesda, but the original games being made by Interplay, whos gonna be losing the gold pieces they wouldve earned if i wasnt a low down and dirty swashbuckler? The developers are cool and all but the game hasnt been made in my time period yet and i dont really give a fuck about people from "California" (never heard of her).

Title is self explanatory. Either there are no mods here, or they dont give a shit.

I thought about making my own sub last year, then i got a full time job, so i got too busy to even think about moderating.

The state of this sub is piss poor, and the mods either need to step up or we will be forced to jump shit.

Give me name recommendations, moderation applications, and flairs to make. On friday night, i will make the new sub and hire the first moderators.
