if lowtax doesn't give the forums/site over to someone then he probably loses the mod/admin staff and the writers and things just kinda fall apart. maybe he keeps the lights on with whoever remains, lord knows there's some people that will be happy to post here come hell or high water and if there's a bunch of sudden openings at the top then i imagine he wouldn't have problems filling the roll with sycophants.

realistically, i think it will be like neogaf all over again. that site had exactly the same problem, with its owner being a rapist and the community saying enough was enough and leaving, all of them. yet, neogaf managed to stay afloat with a few stragglers and over the last three years has accumulated a whole community of alt-righters and white supremacists. its owner no longer has money issues. if Jeffrey doesn't manage to secure SA, then it will go the same way as neogaf

I don't really see why Lowtax wouldn't hand the site over as all it does is cost him money based on his posting?

dont refer to domestic abuse that way

there’s a huge difference between what’s happening around lowtax and what happens in the vast majority of the cases of domestic abuse. you trying to draw parallels between the two is at least irresponsible and creates false expectations that could hurt the victims

FYI, most cases of domestic abuse do not involve a few thousand people on the internet watching someone’s patreon like a stock ticker

i’ve lurked here since uh... 2012? 13?? a lifetime ago. my only regret is not posting more in here (and i guess in general); y’all always seemed cool.

i don’t know what way this is gonna land, but i hope there can still be a community that isn’t broken into nine or ten pieces by the time it does. either way, this place has been around through some real poo poo times in my life, so i just wanted to say thanks for everything.

stay safe yospos

In all seriousness, I'm hoping she gets the help she needs as what I read in the GBS thread is disturbing especially the recent stuff that comes across as textbook domestic violence victim hostage

You'd think I've been riding the L all my life.
can’t very well keep this whole thing going but it was a good ride. Not very surprised by the lowtax stuff but we shouldn’t kick ourselves for giving him some second and third chances. Obviously no excuses for his behavior here but it is not our doing and not our job to vet people who operate the sites we relax on

Followed SA since ‘99 in college and also med school and residency and then fellowship. only got an account in 2003 I guess. rarely posted. I’ll miss lurking yospos, it’s like the life I didn’t live and is so different from what I do only not different.

was not a computer toucher but in academic medicine and so spiritually a computer toucher. Stayed away from the doctor forum because it’s largely dumb and full of terribles. like a real hospital

Now I am a old man, and as one of that type I know when the last stop has been reached. Quick shout out to some of the clever posters I’ve seen over the years (pres beep, jony290, smoka, shaggar (refuse to believe your brain thinks some of these things but still much love)

peace, love to all, indeed. be good

I mean most members are either lurkers, buried into a few megathreads, or just here for some casual shitposts. It takes a lot of drama to spread out and reach most of the forums.

Also, this dumb gay forum has been taking a run at imploding once every 6 months now. It's p disappointing that the place that both made me an idiot edgelord in middle school and then undid that damage later (as everyone grew up or expelled the nazis) couldn't have any kind of positive impact on the site owner, who is clearly a terminal idiot who hurts people.
