I remember Lowtax making a thread about shutting down the office during the GBS rebirth. I also remember that he said the first person to come to his office would get some unsold merch and one guy showed up like 6 hours later. That's when the photo of him sleeping on a couch was taken too I believe.

Lowtax has dozens of nerds who will run the forums for him for free, or who will at least run service ntpd restart for him All development on the forums is basically goons making extensions/apps around the horribleness anyway LinYutang fucked around with this message at 11:50 on May 8, 2017 |

setting up an office for an internet forum seems like the sort of thing you only do for quality of life reasons. like, it's good and healthy to leave your home from time to time, and having an actual office facilitates that.

to me the best part is that it was public-facing and in the same building as a lawyer. around here there are office buildings for poo poo that could use an office but dont actually need a storefront and youd think those would be a better fit for a website and forum

theres also something to be said for getting out of the house, about half of our comapny works from home and i just cant imagine that would ever be good. i would live in basketball shorts and old college t shirts for a solid 5 days and my fiance would probably leave me basically that dilbert comic about telecommuting
