There's Something Awful which is fairly general and charges a one time fee, but it's much more poorly operated than HN.

SA used to be in a troll war with the old Slashdot.org tech forum. 4chan was a later 'spinoff' built by a Something Awful user, and taking much of its initial community from there. Given these facts I've never thought of Something Awful as especially free from toxicity.

They also used to be very toxic to the the Church of Scientology and Habbo Hotel. Nevar forget.

Pool's closed!

But that's Anonymous, not SA.
