Excuse me, is this where the bitches are found?



My opinion counts for two things here (jack and poo poo) but if this forum goes away and I lose the... 362 posts I've made in 18 years, I won't feel too bad. I WILL, however, miss lurking the gently caress out of this particular board. I only watch wrestling occasionally now, and keeping up is a guilty pleasure accomplished only in WH2K. You mostly don't suck, and if you do, you suck far less than most of the internet.

So preemptory thanks for the good times and the bullshit.

[edit] WTF, another twist just in the minutes I spent composing this? Yikes.

Can we work on a system to alternate days or something? We have a large couch plus cats AND dogs who like to be pet. Also this may be the only way I make new real-life friends again because who knows when I'll go out in public thanks to our dumb rear end governor (Hello from Austin, TX).

Jesus. Is it really a safe place? Doesn't feel that safe. I hope she has some friends nearby that just give her a hug. Hope she also has good family that will let her get some distance from all of this. Disturbed as gently caress.

You joke but that is how it felt to me too. Reminds me of that infamous last known pic of girl in black holding her hand defensively at the cameraman and that really makes me hope she's ok. gently caress that was....nope disturbing is still a perfect word for it.

Oh no doubt it's obvious, anyone with half a drop of empathy can see what's going on. I just hope that if any people are convinced by this that nothing wrong happened, that they're small in number and are told to gently caress off

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what a video of someone recanting abuse allegations is supposed to look like? Obviously this is all weird as gently caress, but all of this is weird and insane and it also seems weird that a bunch of goons who have seen three Facebook messages and one video are reaching definitive conclusions one way or the other.

Responding to this as if a genuine question.
Personal experience in my case. My family (and myself too) are from Russia and it's very common among my family to smack a woman around when they get lippy, you are having a bad day, just think its a funny thing to do. Seen my various female relatives act this EXACT WAY afterwards. Same trembling tone, same repeated words, same look of fear and desperation on their tear covered faces. They can often add in "well I was being a bitch" or "he had a really bad day" or "he was drinking" often thrown in when they admit he actually did it. It's like a smell. You may not be able to exactly describe it why, but that reptile part of your brain hits direct to those old recollections. People who know can know without a second to spare... it hits that quick. No judgement on anyone who doesn't know as I wish I didn't either.

When I first saw the link to BnR there were like 650 members. As of this post there are 2,200. More and more people are bailing.

Also I think the more people who sign up at BnR (you can sign up for free and without an invite) the stronger the mods negotiating position is. The lower the value of SA if it comes to a sale, the less money that has to go to dude. I'd really like to stay here but I'm already acclimating over there.

Chucking in two cents, I think a forum is best for this sorta thing. Joined the discord, but rarely watch live due to timezones and discord would suck for spoilers. Reddit has the thread style but would suck for liveposting.

I all but need this place to be mentally well. I just can't see somewhere like Reddit ever EVER holding the same sense of community for me. That said, if Lowtax isn't willing to walk away for like a buyout or something there's no loving way this place will (or should) survive, so I might not have a choice.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

FWIW it sounds like Jeffrey from YOSPOS has contacted lowtax trying to buy the site from him but afaik he never responded. Granted that was like 8 hours ago and I can’t keep up with the GBS thread.

Okay, the admins said they'll get you all through and waive the fee when you register so you don't need me or Loel as intermediaries anymore.

Glad to be back with all you folks.

So anyone can join https://breadnroses.net/ for free, you just have to wait a bit for them to manually approve you after account creation. The queue is apparently quite long.

I think we're all hoping Lowtax just fucks off while acknowledging that if Lowtax did the right thing he'd also not be abusing anyone. So I'd say register on Bread & Roses, so you can stay in contact with your SA bros & gals in case he pitches a shitfit and just takes the forum offline with no warning, which I don't think is outwith the realms of possibility.

It's an SA offsite but it's it's own thing too and it (as far as I can see) just seems chill. There's a general wrestling thread & an AEW thread so far but if there's more activity then obviously we can have more threads. I'm thinking of starting a general puro thread assuming we have a few more PSPers turn up.
