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 think it's probably slightly different in that the $10 barrier to entry would stop the critical mass you need. he could drop the reg fee but since SA a everything/nothing board, there's little reason to post here instead of all the other alt-right places.

though i'm always surprised when i learn about a shithead community that's been around forever, so who knows

I heard vague things about Lowtax being a creep but I guess his admin goonsquad was successful in erasing it because that's all I knew- vague rumours.
That there's a post with it all in detail, including the admin protection crew, pinned in GBS is a sign of something.

cspam is not that bad in and of itself, i have very little faith in making cspam the nucleus of a new forum though. still, i'll wait a few weeks for things to settle and then sign up there, see for myself how it works out.

the fact that the patreon money really is evaporating has lent me a bit of hope that the forums might actually get spun out.

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

if you really believe she’s a hostage, why are you gawking at it from the sidelines and not doing something?

either way, you are a terrible person

Max Facetime posted:

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

no, I’m absolutely not a member of the viewing audience. there is a report of domestic abuse, as a result all the resources of social services are working to help the victim and most crucially, I’m not part of that process in any way

SA is a large forum, so statistically there’s a fair chance that there’s at least one domestic abuse victim reading these forums who is weighing whether or not she should report the violence she’s suffering

what do you think she’s going to think seeing a bunch of people going on saying, effectively, “guys guys, if we can get his patreon down to below 1000$ do y’all think we’ll get another tearful video of her?? wouldn’t that be grand?!?”

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
to hear lowtax tell it, they flaked out, borrowed some money, and flaked out even harder

now, in hindsight...

borrowing money, particularly in light of doing unpaid admin and development work on the forums, is pretty hilarious

yes. it is weird how the one rock solid consistency in this 20 year history of spectacular flaming meltdowns has been lowtax.
