I was a little surprised there isn't a probation or anything yet.

It's like there's been a competition this week for the shittiest QQCS thread possible and that OP was going for the gusto.

Generally speaking the mods don't probate people for asking questions in QCS, even if they are stupid questions.

He linked the thread and tagged Zoe on facebook to laugh about it with them. I mean I'm sure they are understandably taking time out from all of this but lol Lowtax is thoroughly on their side.

I'm sure the letter to the Better Business Bureau will shake the servers to their cores and force Lowtax to humbly apologize and lovely Wizard can post their thread about why Zoe Quinn is a lying huckster with an axe to grind and don't you know its really all about truth and ethics in video games?

so now we have confirmation that zdr robbed lowtax, as if anyone still needed it

Lowtax posted:

Yeah I know that's the obvious answer but I just wanted to let you guys know that, even though I'm not around posting, I'm still trying to do poo poo to improve The Something Awful Forum Browsing Experience, Now In Stereo Sound. I didn't want anybody to think I was abandoning the place, and I've been actively trying to find ways to functionally make poo poo better for you all. Right now my current issue is that our previous admin, ZDR, took $4,000 from me and then stopped all communication and blocked me, and he did not deliver the server documentation I asked him for, so when and if I find another sysadmin who does not get addicted to opioids and steal my loving money, they can understand how this spaghetti factory of code and VMs all work together. gently caress

ZDR was sucked into the code Captain N: The Game Master (or Tron, if you're not a pop-culture aficionado) style, and is now fighting for his survival muaddibbing across the forums matrix on digital spaghetti worms. Coincidentally, this is also the plot of Ready Player Two.

ZDR confirms that you need to be high to truly understand the radiance of Radium's supercoding.

He's currently in a sensory deprivation tank so that he can achieve more transcendental lawnmower man unity with the code.

The short story they based lawnmower man on is about a weird little satyr that eats people's grass and sells it as a lawn care service which might be a more accurate analogy for this website

He kept popping in and out as he needed cash, yeah. I didn't know the taxman gave him direct money again, I thought it was just got lowtax's blessing to do a fundraiser/shill for forum goodies in exchange for paypal donations.

reality: as the site admin's spine turns to fluid at the same rate as the site's technical backend, he is scammed out of his meager funds by a moderator turned opiate addict posing as a php wizard

Also the admin's best friend and collaborator is slowly turning into a muppet, potentially under the influence of his nazi hypnotist girlfriend

Idea: A comedy website will have semi-regular funny flash animations, made by a friend of the site owner.

Reality: A talented animator alienates everyone around them, to the extent that they are somehow the bad guy in a relationship with a meth nazi mind controller, as they slowly turn into their own fetish art: a sexless diaper muppet.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.


Remember the two goons in a relationship who instead of PMing each other would post in a long dead subforum that was only delisted instead of deactivated so you could use it if you knew the id and put it in the URL bar manually? And then they were caught by a FYAD poster who apparently just checks delisted subforums regularly. Also I think one of them was underage and the other was older so there was a huge creep factor too.

I really want a explanation of how it was possible, and how someone decided to stumble onto old delisted forums and caught them, and what the subsequent callout thread looked like.

There was also a goon couple years and years ago that were so insufferable that IIRC they were told they'd both be permabanned if they ever got caught posting in the same thread. I think for a while they had vagina-looking flowers/seashells as their AVs. Psychicattack and Ikari?

I had never heard that. Why the hell didn't they just shoot eachother emails or texts?
edit: and psychic attack and ikari weren't a couple, not even really friends if I recall, just shitposters who had a similar style and were drawn to the same sort of threads

I actually met psychicattack irl at a goon meet back before the whole ikari fiasco. She's a cool fun person irl and I guess she just had a different persona online or something. I think a lot of people are like that. Maybe not cool and fun irl but just being a different person online.
