I can't remember the wording (obviously), but it contained lines vaguely similar to:

You might like [x] because [x] is a nice place to have fun. Another reason you might like it is because it is a cool place to hang out with friends.

Whatever else it said, it wasn't very long. The vibe was just a bit awkward and stilted in a delightful way. I'm not actually sure my example text above is very close in a literal sense but hopefully the vibe tips someone off.

This might ruin it for you, but it's an old Something Awful Forums in joke. The forum they're talking about here is the rules relaxed one where they allow flame wars and goatse

FYAD is the cool place to hang out. You can find most of the cool people there. In FYAD you can just chill and do whatever and totally relax. "Take it easy" is the FYAD motto, for example, that's how laid back it is there. Show up if you want to have a good time. Another good reason to show up is if you want to hang out with friends.

The joke specifically is that you should probably not post in FYAD if you're looking for a good time, Lol.

For better or for worse, a lot of SRS/Fempire/Just Post stuff is wholesomely repackaged Something Awful stuff. This includes the name Just Post itself. I'm not an original puppy

fucking rough to post a thread being like "i'm looking for the source of this pleasant quote about having fun with friends" and its origin was talking about fyad

There's a real "seconds before disaster" vibe to the original Toast Post

i dont think i've been on an internet forum with <2000 posters that wasn't (in retrospect) heavily influenced by something awful
