Something Awful, often abbreviated to SA, is a comedy website housing a variety of content, including blog entries, forums, feature articles, digitally edited pictures, and humorous media reviews. It was created by Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka in 1999 as a largely personal website, but as it grew, so did its contributors and content. Since then, the website has influenced Internet culture and helped to perpetuate various Internet phenomena.
Since the website's creation, its forums have amassed over 130,000 accounts, and the website in general has been involved in an array of events and conflicts. These include a conflict with the Spam Prevention Early Warning System, a Hurricane Katrina relief fund being caught in PayPal's red tape, and an exhibition boxing match between Kyanka and movie director Uwe Boll.
Something Awful was created by Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka, who remains in control of the site but is supported by other contributing writers and administrators.
