since a lot of people only check bookmarks, you should know that our admin, lowtax, has been credibly accused of abusing his partner.

Oh yeah we were talking about this in the Splatoon thread.

In much the same way we must sometimes attempt to separate the art from the artist, it’s important to look at the forums as a community and what it means to the people who are in that community, as opposed to looking at it all through the lens of Rick Kyanka.

Yeah I am inclined to agree with my esteemed colleague here. Love the forum, hate the sinner.

I hope SA stays around, though it'd be nice if it was wrested from Lowtax somehow

There was a legitimately coordinated effort by small handful of posters to post about it I. every single thread on Something Awful, which may actually end up being the X factor that causes it to stick this time because to my knowledge no one’s ever tried that before

Most of you are on Twitter, and there's basically zero chance that jack hasn't hunted poor people for sport.

Hopefully we can wrest control of SA from what a poster in CineD called the digital landlord.

Right. He’s not going to just pull the plug while he’s breaking even on the site and doing 0 work for it.

No ethical posting under capitalism.

If there were a patreon just for the forums, or if it were a monthly membership I wouldn’t mind at all. Turn the forums into a co-op.

I’ve always hated you t-man, and I downloaded a chrome filter that turns all of your posts into randomly selected insults and nonsense words like trunp ( still better than the poo poo you posted)

tried placing you on block but other idiots kept quoting your bad posts. this was my only path of action

I miss when people would get on boring tangents about cancelling Amber for causing Matt's divorce as you could audibly hear Felix snorting coke in Fortnite etc. and then BENGHAZI 2 would just straight up post direct quotes from Cum Town bits and then something about Judge Dredd or Kamen Rider and the thread would chill out and be pretty cool for a while.

There were a ton of other unjustly banned CSPAMmers after New Year's, but BENGHAZI 2 had the best name imo, RIP
