I'm not sure if any one person "owns" it but the admin team is a group of lefty goons who left C-SPAM back in January when all of that drama erupted.

We had a feeling this day would come, and we don't resent anyone who didn't join beforehand or anything like that, we are more than happy to welcome people to a place not founded by shitheads and not full of weird bigots/nazis.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

i’ve peeked at lowtax’s fb a few times in the past and saw some really gross misogynistic things (in addition to some of the poo poo he’s posted about ashli on SA, like calling her his “fat wife”). i feel bad for not believing ashli when she fled while the taxman was out of town.

I'm comin' for you, colonel.



This isn't going to mean anything to anyone who doesn't play path of exile but I had an interaction with Lowtax as follows in the goon guild:

I played poe in the legion league and was running a contagion build. A guy running the same build asked in goon chat if anyone had a good wand for it for sale and I said I did but he should find a bow to buy like this one I'm using instead. I wasn't using my wand because this bow is better, it scales with the damage you need better, like twice as good, as a wand would it's counter intuitive but its true, this bow with these modifiers is gonna give you twice the dps as the wand you think you want, and costs the same. This is why I have this wand available, don't make the same mistake I did and just get this bow instead you'll gain a day in playtime over the dumb way I did it. This was common knowledge to this build.

Lowtax chimed in and said no get an Atziri's Reflection, a niche rear end shiled that's a good item to get at like the very end of a build when marginal situational improvements are all that's left, not at the beginning when you need to get a core set of good stats to get through mapping. And it would have cost all of the dude's currency for a niche defensive item when he didn't have any dps. He argued with me about it for a good half hour before I decided I didn't care anymore. Idk what the guy bought but I hope it was the bow, but it was clear to me Lowtax was one of those guys who couldn't be reasoned off a stupid loving position despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

On this day and forever more I thought Lowtax was a stupid piece of poo poo.

I'd also always ask the guild chat for good niche music to listen to and he'd suggest poo poo like weezer's blue album.

God what a weird gently caress.

Goons got pissed at DND mods for sticking their dicks in cspam business and the cspam mods for going along with it. Things simmered then calmed down for a bit thanks to a dedicated thread where people could air greivences against mods

right up until lowtax got hosed up on hooch and benzos and strolled through banning people at random, aka the one thing the thread was supposed to not have.

dick tax then floated out on a cloud opiates leaving the mod team to clean up the mess, which they failed at after several cspam regulars got perma'd for calling a mod a Nazi (said mod did in fact turn out to be a Nazi who was targeting goons to impress their discord buddies. The bans were not undone)

It's extremely easy for me to believe that Lowtax has always been a shithead and any negative things that have ever been said about him are true. I mean, that is 100% the image he presented of himself in the early days.

And that almost all the good things that have come from this website are in spite of him, rather than because of him.

Abusers create conditions that convince their victims that untrue things are true. She probably really believed that she was killing the forums and that it was all her fault when she made that video.
