No matter what, lowtax will still have a wonderful family, a cosy house, and fun dogs. Does it really matter that he's a bit inept when it comes to new methods of e-begging?

There should be a page where we can see the registrations that are occurring, just like the leper's colony but reverse. If he has nothing to hide I mean.

923 new regs is still over $1500 a month so dead SA is still making an order of magnitude more money than lame YouTubes and their associated patreon. Makes a lot more sense why lowtax spends so much time on SA instead of Twitter and YouTube now

I really like that Lowtax is apparently chained to this necrotic near-corpse of a forum, probably as a result of some Faustian bargain made in 1999, and now the whole internet gets to laugh as he faffs around doing too little, too late on mediums he should've capitalized on a decade ago. Like I find it impossible to be mad at him because he's clearly the archetypal Fool of the internet. Bumble on, taxman.
