Much obliged, we're both better now, both still traumatized but it is what it is. They had just gotten out of some heinous DV poo poo and their implosion sucked in a lot of people for a long, long time. Ironically, they're now arguably the most resilient person w/ mental illness I know and they spend most/all their time in social work keeping other people from ending up like they did or worse. Rock bottom does that for some people.

If I can say one thing to anyone who has friends or family with BPD and is in the process of or looking to help them, ffs if at all possible get a loving professional on their case and do not attempt as a layperson to shoulder that burden on your own. Sisyphus ain't poo poo and neither are you. Take care of yourself first.

btw there is close to 0% chance lowtax closes or gives away the site. his work experience is 20 years of sleeping at 4pm and doing more benzos than all of tcc combined. no way hes letting go of the gravy train like that lmao

If I were in his position I'd sell it to the community, with 100% of the funds raised going to both ex-wives for child care.

In reality he's going to sell it to the highest bidder, likely a foreign media company.

So can we get this escalated to media posts? Maybe report to the news near lowtax about a tip? or like, sites that are all about online stuff. And metoo stuff.

Just anything to get this amplified and put the pressure on him.

He needs to be stopped. This is the third woman.

Burt actively banned anybody for mentioning Lowtax's domestic abuse police reports in the past.

He is complicit in Lowtax's actions and should be demodded and permabanned.

Dear God I don't know why but I've registered https://www.something-waffle.com and the forums are open for free registrations. The idea is basically to keep the same ethic and posting quality (lol) that SA has.

I love this place and I can't shake the feeling that Lowtax is going to nuke these forums.

I felt this was better than having a thousand discords :smith:. Assuming enough of you register and it doesn't go down as a waste of time, will have to consider mods etc. Would be happy with current good mods to moderate there to try and keep it samey.

I think nothing will happen. Like a lot of people will leave and lowtax wont be able to show his face in here without people making GBS threads on him, but the situation won't change. People will still post here, lowtax will own the site, etc. Maybe eventually enough people will leave that the minority who think beating women is cool will be louder than everyone else, attracting more horrible people until the site is mostly incels and gamergate veterans. Thats the bad end, anyway. I might be wrong though, this year has taught me a lot about perserverance.
