These are interesting forums times we live in. I imagine a bunch of people just aren't going to post here anymore or they'll just have short memories

I won’t lie, writing for the front page had been a bucket list thing for me for ages, and this website, as weird as it may sound, played a huge part in pushing me away from a more radicalized path I was being taken down by chuds and an incel mindset in high school. I believed in this site, damnit, and so did Logan. That’s why SHE put the loving work in to hire us on and get the front page active again. And she did. And it was. We were all unpaid, excited idiots trying to make something better in this little spot of internet. It’s way more than what lowtax started, and is far bigger than him, in part despite him. I’m going to miss this site and miss my fun little writing gig (that I never saw a cent for anyway), but gently caress supporting an alleged serial abuser. I wasn’t on top of forum drama and so wasn’t aware of the prior allegations until now, but I believe Logan and you should too.

ArbitraryC posted:I never really got why his patreon was so bigly in the first place, he comes around sporadically for big ol spine fundraisers but never can seem to pinpoint a dollar figure on when it'll be enough. None of the money seems to go to the forums beyond a baseline level of hosting and tech support to keep things afloat (and he heavily leans on volunteer support for the latter). The whole vague requests for help despite multiple pretty large fundraisers that culminated in a patreon that gave him a consistent good income for a while (wonder what that culminated in over the years), on top of him mentioning that the forums already do pay for themselves on a monthly basis just through regs/avs and such. I asked him this once, this was his explanation on how the patreon funds work Lowtax posted:Hosting charges and poo poo like cloudflare and other website related costs come to slightly over $2,000 a month. Patreon gets taxed around 50% or more. So $8,000 becomes $4,000 after taxes and fees. Then $4,000 becomes less than $2,000 after website costs. So these ridiculous estimates about me making billions of dollars are slightly off. I do not know if these numbers are accurate or if patreon taxes at around 50% or more, I asked further and someone in the thread accused me of psychopathy (which you can see on this page) https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3911852&pagenumber=117&perpage=40#post502151691

I don't think Lowtax should be in charge of SA anymore. You can quote me on that.

Years from now, when you're no better off than when you started, when it finally hits you that it's all been nothing but a wasted lie, think of me. Think of me, Richard, and when you do, realize that I was the only beacon of logic and truth in this sad menagerie. You seem predestined for failure, however, so I doubt there is anything one can do for you. Just remember, when the joy is gone, when you're clawing at the boundaries of your little world, you always had a choice.

who gives a poo poo, if you get banned its because a domestic abuser still maintains control of the website, if you dont it means jeffrey wrestled the server rack out of his cookie-caked hands

Trauts posted:Don't misunderstand, gently caress domestic violence and those who commit it, especially if it's a man hitting a woman. SomethingAwful isn't lowtax, its more of an idea imo. Let's hope there's backups. If anyone were to try to upload a backup database on a copy of the files they would be sued to oblivion.

yeah I just assume we all expected to be banned when we posted in this threat as the only alternative would be lowtax admitting he did a bad thing, which seems physically impossible
