I hope, vainly, that somehow this ends with the website intact but Lowtax, for whatever reason, having decided to simply go away. perhaps, we can make it impossible for him to ban the people he doesn’t like if it’s the entire forum.


I don't hit this site up often enough, or for long enough, to know all the ins and outs and such (I literally just learned what exactly a toxx was about). But I do like the site, I've really liked that it stayed no bullshit web 1.0 when the rest of the internet slit its throats to chase facebook impressions, and I liked that the community somehow managed to keep the nazi rot out, and actually become pretty woke and lefty, when almost every other part of nerd culture I remember from my days as a kid in the 90s early 00s has gone full fash.

So, if I'm understanding this correctly, that there's a chance Kyanka is eye-of-sauroning this site for people who bad-talk him on this, but it might be the end of the site anyway, and a full scale user revolt could help avert that?

It's bad to hit women. People who hit women are bad people. gently caress to them. I don't really follow the lore of this place close, but I've been a semi regular reader of at least the front page since '04 or so, and I've got some vague outlines in my head and it's not flattering, and it comports pretty well with the new accusations. So if as sounds very likely, Kyanka hit this woman, as well as other women, that dude is a piece of poo poo, he's already got my tenner, but I won't be giving him another. There are other dead gay forums than these. Bring the ban or don't.

If I've misread how big a deal this is, sorry for posting cringe I guess? But it really seems like the end of days up in here. Been nice knowing you all.

Do you really think a drug addict man child is going to put in the time, effort, and money to sell his only asset and source of income?

Think like an extremely lazy person - you have a golden goose that you’re starving to death through sheer neglect. It still shits golden eggs, despite your best efforts to scare it away by beating all the women in its vicinity.

You know the goose is worth some amount of gold and that a goose doctor could probably save it, but that would require you to contact a goose buyer and a goose lawyer and then you need to collect all your financial documents and ownership files and server passwords and the metaphor is breaking down.

That’s a lot of work and I’m sure he will just limp this thing along as long as possible. In 2025 there will still be a handful of goons posting here.

If he remains in charge the site's no longer going to make any money, and it's easy to see this. He's going to sell, and that's not ideal since he still gets money, but it will preserve the community

Ya know, I just now saw the page before this one they're talking about what is and isn't 1.0 vs 2.0. Could be, I dunno. I mean, I remember having the early 90s dialup, but other than video sites being a thing you could go to once you had college broadband the internet seemed pretty static (in look and feel) up until like, I wanna say late 00s? Wikipedia says mid-00's, which woulda been right in the pocket for SA in its prime.

Anyway, LK also said not to go off topic from the abuse in the first page, so again, I probably only understand half of what went down and less of the prior history, but I don't like none of it. Hope it doesn't wreck this nice site I poo poo up with my rambles and rants.

As someone who watched my mom get beat up my father from about 8 years old until his death 9 years later, I couldn't watch the video more than 10-15 seconds.

I've lurked here since 2000. I hope the forums are successfully migrated to someone other than LT, but I'm not optimistic. Anyway, you guys along with my wonderful wife have made me a leftist and I'm thankful for that. Like others have said, I feel like I'm a much better person now. Goonspeed, Godspeed, or whatever!
