cum posted:I absolutely don't blame you for being frustrated, given what you're going through right now. However you probably know you're always going to be a target of cheap shots and you will never appease everybody. The thing is you've tried to appease both sides and people would rather have you stick to one side. I'd say stick to what you think is right, as it is your website and your decisions are what made it what it is (was). totally see where you're coming from but it seems like he mostly did stick to the dnd/cspam/tgrs side, and still took heat for it nonetheless

Lowtax posted:You seem to forget that the entire reason I left the forums was due to the overwhelming voice of users claiming the forums were popular in spite of me, not because of me. The loudest people were the ones replying to all front page content as "THERE'S A FRONT PAGE?" and the ones complaining my heavy handed moderation was directly leading to the downfall of the forums. So I said gently caress it, I'll spend more time with my family instead. The forums have continually blamed you long before that also, and it's not just here it just seems to be the thing on bbs systems to blame the admin for any action they take ever. I miss fyad, even if you think it had gotten unfunny, and I'm sorry any of that drama cost you personally, maybe if there was a way to combine fyad with the trans forum, hopefully your patreon would go up 3000 instead of down any more.

honestly and in all seriousness props for dealing with the actual kidnapping of your child as well as you are, i think a lot of people don't realize how traumatizing that is. like, literally PTSD inducing. dudes get ghosted on a date and plow through a day care in a hijacked tank but lowtax shows up to try to give us more shiny trinkets to look at and we just dance a merry jig in the grave we've dug for him. some dudes got no respect.

Live Free posted:totally see where you're coming from but it seems like he mostly did stick to the dnd/cspam/tgrs side, and still took heat for it nonetheless Oh absolutely. He tried to juggle both sides, but yes he did stick to the cspam/tgrs side at the end. To be honest, their shouts and demands were growing more ludicrous by the second, even when he tried to appease them like 5 times. I think them being impossible to please and turning on Lowtax at the end was incredibly predictable.

If you want feedback on the forums, make a separate thread for it. Why is this discussion buried in a thread about your divorce? And then you complain you're only getting brokebrain advice.

Lowtax posted:I try to appease the FYAD people by having a different FYAD created, and I'm called a transphobe and my patreon drops by $1000 a month. Then I close FYAD and I'm branded as somebody who hates comedy and my patreon drops by another $500 a month. i'm sure these are rough numbers but if this is even broadly correct it sounds ironically like the fun-hating joke police were materially contributing a lot more than the fyad comedy legends.

Weedle posted:hey how about if you dont like the politics forums fuckin dont go in there instead of calling for them to be shut down because you find the """""atmosphere""""" off-putting or whatever. fuckin lol. gosh if it werent for those dang forums i wouldnt ever have to think about anything bad happening and i could just play video games and jack my dick and be happy yeah this. a lot of people see cspam as the source of all of the forums drama and secret service visits. i've never posted in cspam but i can still see that most of the people are good and also funny and it's only the 1% worst of the posters that cause problems for everybody and spread their poo poo between forums. nothing needs to be closed, just ban the bad posters and let each forum have their own rules and culture.

making decisions means people who dont agree are going to be mad with the guy who made the decisions. your patreon was going to drop regardless of what choice you made about fyad, not that closing it was a good decision. welcome to a world of social media perceptrons, where the only thing that doesnt get you hosed silly is pretending you have no power to do anything and rejecting all responsibility. you will never achieve any kind of positive resolution to problems created by a bunch of people screaming at you, by simply doing what the loudest of voices demand creates the precedent that screaming at you is the way to get what they want. and so here we are, and thus *screaming*

These posts are very true. You can never make everyone happy, and especially not compromises. I think the forums too will largely cut you slack while you fix your horrid legal issues Lowtax, and if they don't, these are your forums man. qnqnx fucked around with this message at 16:51 on Jan 27, 2020 |

Lowtax posted:It's just a very overwhelming period for me right now, and the options I have at my disposal are extremely limited. Even when I do completely clear my name of all these completely false abuse accusations, people won't retract their initial claims and start spreading the message "WHOOPS! GUESS I WAS WRONG! LOWTAX DIDN'T ABUSE ANYBODY!" Dude, you're being bullied here and you need to admit it. But it's by a very vocal minority and you do have the power to stop them. Just break out the banhammer and go hog wild. Make false accusations about you? Ban. Make snide insinuations? Ban. Unwarranted negativity? Ban. Wave it around like a drunken Thor and the following will happen: 1) you will feel much better 2) the assholes will run away and set up another 'we hate Lowtax' website and this place will be better off without them OR 3) they rereg, buy plat and a new avatar and you've $25 to spend on the forums 4) It will make the place happier.

Lowtax you should just make a thread titled "Lowtax(me) is online and fielding questions and responding to stuff" that you sticky when you come aroundv and close when you take a break because I don't think this thread is about your divorce anymore and this always happens to all your threads

Which is obvious to all the non-foaming posters on these forums. And anyone who insinuates otherwise is clearly using it to help grind their axe against you. But they are a clear minority and you need to cull them for your mental health and also For The Good Of The Forums. FFS, this is your house. If people poo poo-talk you in your own house, you throw them out, Uncle Phil style.
