After letting people know I was looking for a corp in 0.0, i was contacted by this GoonWaffe member called Lyris Nairn via evemail. What follows is the conversation that took place, and how I found out it was a scam before putting money into it.
If it's commonly known that Goons are scammers, ignore.

Goons are the name for SA forum members, you didn't know that?
GoonSwarm is the SomethingAwful forum corp, that's common knowledge. Goons like to troll games, you should have seen this coming...

And have ten bucks to join the forum there. Which is essentially charging people money to join them in game, something which is against the policy of many MMOs, yet none have stood up to them yet.

Actually if it becomes known you signed up for SA just to join Goonfleet you will literally never hear the end of it. It's very looked down upon.

Fail logic.
Here's why.
Goonswarm is a corp for people who are goons. Goons are not goons because they are in goonswarm, they are in goonswarm because they are goons.
Let me put it another way.
I make a themed corp for Canadians only.
There is a processing fee to immigrate to canada.
Therefore I require you to pay to join my corp! Oh, wait, no, you don't have to pay anything, if you're in the target audience.
You only have to pay if you want to join despite NOT being in the intended audience. See also: I made a corp with my friends from another game. It's unfair because you're required to subscribe to another game and become my friend in order to join. |

No, that is logic. What you present is a twisting of reality akin to something i'd expect to hear from Bill O'Rielly or Glenn Beck.
The Canadian themed corp argument is a strawman, because membership to that isn't dependant on paying any money. It's assumed people who want to join will be living in Canada already. With the goons it's expected people will pay 10 dollars to join, because it's the only way for people to join.

Quote: The Canadian themed corp argument is a strawman, because membership to that isn't dependant on paying any money. It's assumed people who want to join will be living in Canada already. With the goons it's expected people will pay 10 dollars to join, because it's the only way for people to join.
No, it's assumed that people who join will already be goons. SomethingAwful is NOT an eve community. They're a forum that has a group that also plays EVE. They're not even best known for EVE. Ask someone who doesn't play EVE about 'goons' and they won't be thinking of goonfleet.
Also: Unless the rules are changed, you have to be a member for x months before you can join, so no, paying 10$ won't get you into goonswarm.
And if you pay, wait your 3-4 months or whatever, join, and it turns out you joined their forum just to join the EVE corp, you will prolly be kicked and/or ridiculed.
So.
Allow me to explain it in simple language.
SA is not a forum you join because you are in goonswarm.
Goonswarm is an alliance you join because you go to SA.
You are not required to pay 10$ to join an EVE corp, because if you're not an SA member, you are not welcome in that EVE corp.
If I make a Russian corp, you can't whine that I require you to learn Russian before joining. The idea is that people who ALREADY KNOW RUSSIAN will join.
Do you get it? Is it too complex still?
You are NOT intended to sign up for SA in order to join goons in EVE. If you don't already have an SA account they simply don't want you to join.
The 10$ is for SA membership. You don't pay to join goonswarm. You don't join SA just to join goonswarm, either. |

Goons have been running low on ISK for a long time, due to bad management and heavy demoralisation but scamming is hardly new, op is an idiot and should get into Goons for free, they need all the numbers they can get.

Man, this is the exact reason when I signed up I didn't join Goonfleet. I was aware that Goons basically owned Mal'Ganis over on WoW when my friend tried to sign me up for WoW 6 years ago, tried it for a few days and didn't like it. With Eve, I didn't join Goons because I wanted to pioneer my own way. As Goons, we're all a great bunch of people, and we love it if you come sign up on SA. But yes, please don't just do it to join Eve. Fact is, if you come and sign up, you'll really enjoy what the rest of the forums have to offer.

To this day, I still don't understand why someone would want to be a Goon.
Why? It's like a virtual Bondage Master > Slave relationship... So appealing.
Also, it's quite obvious, that at this point in time you're sitting here reading my signature. |

Goonwaffe is one corp that is targeted at goons.
The Greater Goon is another corp that is targeted at goons.
ElitistOps is targeted at goons, too (but red to Goonwaffe).
There are various smaller groups of goons in alliances all over the place.
There is at least one goon channel/guild/alliance for most MMOs out there - many of these goons have no desire whatsoever to play EVE.
The idea goons == Goonswarm and "join SA to join Goonswarm Fed." is one of the core reasons why EVE players don't "get" goons and will continue to get scammed by Goonswarm "recruitment officers".
"Hey, I'll pay 500m ISK (or 10$) to be your friend" - now how does that sound? Personally I wouldn't have a problem with scamming that sort of person because this attitude is pretty insulting tbh. SA is an internet community not some random recruitment forum for Goonswarm.

If it's commonly known that Goons are scammers, ignore.
Not sure if serious.

I thought SA was a random recruitment forum for the community of dropouts and loners of the interwebs? Only costs $10 to make a friend there.

And have ten bucks to join the forum there. Which is essentially charging people money to join them in game, something which is against the policy of many MMOs, yet none have stood up to them yet.
Actually if it becomes known you signed up for SA just to join Goonfleet you will literally never hear the end of it. It's very looked down upon.
Sure you will. Probably while in your most expensive ship.
