Then everything would be p chill again....right?

I don't even know who could be the owner, or how it would happen. I don't know if lowtax would give up ownership of the site so easily.

TBH I felt that way a while ago but discovering just how much had been intentionally suppressed by Burt means that it can't just be Lowtax who goes if the forums are to continue. The fact that it took something this public for that to be revealed without it being met with a ban is utterly, utterly, utterly disgusting.

Lowtax can give me the keys. I don't know anything about running a website, but I too post infrequently and have not assaulted a woman verbally or otherwise which I believe makes me more than qualified. I'll also take that Patreon, just flop that over to me

Beyond a certain point you can't put a genie back in a bottle. People can't go back to pretending nothing happened in this situation. It really really sucks and the best one can hope for is that people close to her are able to actually support her but once something like this comes out (and, depressingly, gets noticed instead of overlooked...) it's going to remembered and people can't be obligated to continue to support an abuser (which Lowtax absolutely is, regardless of the truth of this specific situation, so I don't even feel like it needs arguing) and memoryhole his behavior.

dex_sda posted:

difficult to say really. I think what should not happen is it being swept under the rug until it is resolved vis-a-vis the forum because the situation is overwhelmingly pointing in one direction, that she's being abused by the forum's owner. But I understand the desire not to have this thread mingling shitposts with real life drama. I'd say delete but keep announcement about the situation

yeah im in the camp of delete personal info if the person involved requests it, even if theres the whole streissand effect poo poo and the fact that even if its deleted here its eternally archived elsewhere.

the big big BIG important thing to me, which is in the works apparently, is that logan should absolutely no longer be near lowtax or posting message online.
if shes sincere about her recanting, this only keeps fanning the flames and hurting her case. if she's being coerced, posting more just keeps her in a more direct line of contact with lowtax. in both cases it is best for her to remain away from him and be with people who can take care of her

Lowtax could just shut it down right away and if people aren't in discords, there's no takebacks. With all the discords, there would be potential that if a new site had to be created, the communities that fled to discord could be reintegrated.

Not taking action is a really bad take. It seems extremely likely lowtax will give up ownership easily, it's just will that be shutting it all down, selling it to kiwifarms, selling to the highest bidder (lol) or giving it to the community (super lol, he's not gonna reform and take responsibility)

lowtax is a manbaby and a number of people are not-unreasonably concerned that if he was somehow removed from the site he might attempt to nuke it first

I hadn't heard poo poo. I'm one of those mostly-bookmarks dorks who also avoids GBS and I had a vague sense that lowtax's wife had run off with his kids or something, and that he was a bit worthless and lovely, but it's really easy to miss stuff until someone slams it into every thread and does announcements and a sticky thread or two.

I think, like myself, a large portion of users have their non-gbs niche areas they stay in where that sort of stuff just doesn't get disseminated. I literally had no idea about any of this until last night.

I won't speak for other people but I honestly mostly browse via my bookmarks and occasionally looking for a new thread within the subforums I frequent. I wouldn't be surprised if that was true for everyone. I poke into QCS sometimes but especially with the way the world has been for the past several eternities I've got so much to focus on that I tend to miss things. I can't imagine this isn't also true for a lot of other people considering existing in the world requires a whole lot of energy these days.

I'm really ashamed of myself for missing it and have no real excuse though.
