pretty sure that after lowtax's "richard kyanka" personal account got banned from twitter he started posting under an account for SA that he also got banned
Yeah, the last time I looked I saw multiple unused or disappeared accounts so it seemed like something was up between SA and Twitter. I guess that's the same situation now?

cant wait for the forums mandate to pivot to saying the cool slurs and owning the libs in hopes of attracting gab posters who dont mind a little domestic abuse and will definitely donate to lowtax's patreon steadily instead of calling him a cuck to his face and getting the site shut down inside of four months for actionable terrorist plotting

The patreon lost 60% of its income in under 24 hours, the mods and admins are committed to not enforcing poo poo until he leaves, and some posters have already bailed because they don't want to wait and they don't trust him (which, why would you at this point)

His only options at this point are leave or "surprise" shutter the thing. This isn't going away, and if he logged on and tried to post through it like last time, he'd get (deservedly) swarmed in ways he's not going to be able to press the ban button fast enough to overcome

Honestly getting the forums away from Lowtax in one way or another has seemed like the right thing to do for years for me. But you know...owning the means of production and everything.

Considering his patreon is still going down it's safe to say nobody is taking that at face value and recognize abuse victims when they see it.

that would be the most appropriate outcome I guess. the forums don't die but they twist into a nightmare version of themselves.

"I fell down the stairs" is about as plausible as "yes this black man totally decided to commit suicide by hanging himself from a tree and there was no foul play."

remember when GBS/the forums were actively growing in the tumblr-ish days and he sabotaged that because his elite posting clique-crew thought it was better to be able to post slurs

he is cyclically self-destructive

I like SA, I like goons. I like the community and I hope that the admins and mods pull a rabbit from their hats so that it doesn't fracture too badly.
