i've seen some people posting about a cspam offsite called "breadnroses" or something but I haven't been on there so I can't personally verify how cool and/or good it is

It's alright? The CSPAM and Minority Rapport userbases don't gel fantastically and there were definitely teething problems but it's pretty similar to the left-wing bits of D&D with chiller posting

I can't stand posting about politics on Facebook (apart from violently agreeing with like minded friends) and Twitter is just confusing, there's nothing yet that beats a discussion forum for discussion. This thread is very valuable to me, like quite a few others elsewhere on the forums, and I don't know where else to go really.

The key to enjoying twitter is to use it exclusively for what it is very clearly actually designed for - sharing and collating pictures of cute animals and also sharing and collating snappy jokes.

I only actually liked the Matt Smith era which, apart from the odd bad episode, transcended the absolute poo poo that is the rest of nuWho. But I really liked those seasons so I kind of don't want to write it off completely. But yeah, it's mostly trash.

I so want to love Jodie Whittaker's seasons but she really really needs a better writer than loving Chibnall. I was willing to give him a shot but all my favourite episodes so far have been the ones not written by him

"This is a bit of a... a poof song"
Wow, what a crazy day, although of course vaguely depressing in that forum drama is so important to me that I've genuinely talked to my wife about it...

Can anyone explain to me why this is THE END of the forums? Is it because nobody wants to support an abuser, or because he's going to close them down, or what?

From my perspective, I got my account 15 years ago, have never had an av and don't have plat, and am far too much of a lurker to have ever been, or ever get, banned, so I can't see that my usage of the forums is enriching the guy too much.

It’s probably not the end of the forums, at least not immediately. Everyone is disgusted at Lowtax and a few people have self-banned. A lot of people have cancelled their Patreons.

But most likely the forums will continue to limp on for a while. If enough people stay then SA will keep its character, and if enough people leave then it probably becomes an alt-right echo chamber and we’ll all be banned by the new obersturmgruppenmods who don’t mind working for a wife-beater.

I doubt the forums are suddenly going to vanish unless jeffrey decides to take a real stand on this and hit the nuke button. Otherwise lowtax's income will take a hit but the forums will keep running as long as he can squeeze some amount of profit from it and too many people will continue to visit out of habit for it to completely die on that front. It will just slide slightly more into obscurity

would be interesting if the modmin team actually took a stand on this, this time though (other than banning the people calling lowtax out)

Mostly just "don't want to support an abuser while also wanting to keep "the community" alive" as far as I can tell.

I dunno, I've not bought an avatar or given any money since signing up & I think buying the No Ads upgrade but that's it. But if the people I like reading stop posting then there's no longer much reason to hang around. So I think it's probably just another slight acceleration in the slow death of this place as much as anything.

I think everyone who posts in this thread should just stay here. The thread has been so good for people in so many ways (I, personally, have bought some fudge!) that I think the benefits to us outweigh whatever advantage it confers to Lowtax.

Though the issue is that if everyone else fucks off the site as a whole doesn't work, there is no longer the collision of all different interests to draw people in and become exposed to other ideas.

We will see what happens.
