ive shat on every time people thought lowtax was doomed and i’ve been right every time. this is probably the big one though. i hope that SA is taken over in an orderly fashion, or an organized, centralized new forum is created instead of each subforum creating tiny niche off-sites

yeah tbh instead of trying to reason w/ lowtax its probably better to already start working on the alternative.

without his dumb loving patreon, he has no incentive to keep this site as it is worth negative dollars. The only acceptable way to pay off richard is to a trust fund for his kids or something that he can't touch

oh it’s not that the idea of giving him money thrills us, it’s that it’s the path of least resistance at this time.

at the rate his patreon is going and how much his reputation is poo poo, it may not be very much money at this point either lmao

Maybe this has been covered already but I registered with "BnR" using an invite code and it tells me to go to a page that doesn't seem to exist, or at least I can't access it:

before any of this goes, it's time to say the forbidden word one last time

you knew that Integral was going to come down on you, Lowtax, so you made it a word no one could say.

isn't it weird that the whole forum system was designed to punish people that breathed a word about what went down between him and his girlfriend?

Thump!

i don't know anythign about making forums and websites but surely it can't be THAT hard to replicate these forums on modern software and maybe not that expensive to host on whatever cloud service (probably less than lowtax gets on patreon).. just saying..

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Honestly as much as I hate the idea of anyone giving Lowtax money now, I love this community and hope there's an option for us to chip in so I can donate some if we are able to end up buying the forums at least from him somehow.

The expensive part is hosting the database server. SA has a long history as a forum far more active than it currently is. The database for running it is massive.

I've spent years and years around the forums. One of the biggest benefits has been learning particular posters as I see them posting across the politics, and movies, and games, and etc forums and learning whether they align with my interests / are worth listening to. Another big benefit has been being able to wander off to a new thread in a favorite subforum or even a new subforum and develop new interests. That's how I started looking at CSPAM for example (and I've learned so much in Ask Tell). Splintered discords and offsites will not offer this. I am not an angel investor techboi but I would contribute to keeping these forums alive away from Lowtax.

buying it out from him now is probably better than him continuing to profit off the site indefinitely

no ethical consumption, etc

I *may* receive my first unemployment check this Friday, and if so I would be able to part with $10 to register on BnR then. Given the possibility that Lowtax might rage-delete the forums before then, if someone has a spare invite and can PM me I would truly appreciate it!

I mostly lurk but drat I dunno what I would do with my daily CSPAM. I... can't even imagine it?

well who gives a poo poo about the archives you can barely access them anyway, just provide a single place for people to move to that looks like here and doesn't have any stupid "like" or score-keeping feature so people don't just disappear into 900 different discord servers. tabula rasa baby
