communism bitch posted:Been out of pocket for like a week so forgive my ignorance but has Lowtax been beating his partner and now selling/closing the forums in a tantrum over getting called out? 1: Allegedly yes. His partner has also been posting saying it didn't happen actually and that they are not being coerced into saying so. Make of that what you will. 2: Nothing so far indicates that Lowtax has any intention of letting go of the forums, but his patreon income has collapsed, and modmins are trying to make a bid for taking over. Among the thigns siad partner said I think was 'please don't take his website away'... 3: UKGoons discord server and https://breadnroses.net/

communism bitch posted:Been out of pocket for like a week so forgive my ignorance but has Lowtax been beating his partner and now selling/closing the forums in a tantrum over getting called out? Logan (the lady bought on to help revitalise the forums about six months ago, also evidently his partner) posted on FB the other day about him hitting her. Since then she’s posted text and tearful video that comes across as a hostage video refuting what she said (people more in the know than me are saying this is textbook abuse victim behaviour- she even claimed she ‘fell down the stairs’ after waking him up unexpectedly). Police reports of Lowtax’s previous attacks on his partners have surfaced which were suppressed on here for quite some time. People are furious, his patron has lost like 70% of its subscribers and falling, the modmin team have stated they won’t continue working with him and a thousand discord lifeboats have been launched. Bread And Roses seems to be the biggest and most likely successor if it comes to that- they’ve had like 4K registrations in the past 24 hours E;fb

I’m sort of hoping no where but definitely not Kiwi Farms that place is horrendous apparently, the worst of goons x 1000 Bread and roses forum sounds like it has potential. I’ve bookmarked it. I’m hoping SA stays because whilst I don’t post much I’ve figured out who to trust and get so much development and news from here.

communism bitch posted:Been out of pocket for like a week so forgive my ignorance but has Lowtax been beating his partner yup communism bitch posted:and now selling/closing the forums in a tantrum over getting called out? Not yet. Nothing "official" from the abuser. his patreon money has gone down to the point where it might not cover the bandwidth though, certainly not a leased gtr and hundred dollar cookies anymore There's rumours of a buyout but there have been for years Mods apparently trying to force a coup and if that fails set up elsewhere communism bitch posted:I don't have time to read thousands of new posts so I'm trying to get a quick handle on what's going on and where everybody is abandoning ship to. Bread and roses or various discord bits at the moment, each sub seems to have its own going.

it'll definitely be a shame if a bunch of the forums subcommunities all go off into separate discords, i did like being able to step into another subforum and finding a bunch of people who usually were cool talking about something highly specific

loving yikesaroni. One the one hand I'm astonished, but thinking about how petulant and thin skinned Lowtax has been in every thread I've seen him post in its kind of like "yeah of course he's a huge piece of poo poo". Thanks for the links to the off sites.

And know that for the most part it’s going to be sane with no loving nazis making GBS threads it all up.

so the policy now seems to be, there are legitimate criticisms of israel to be made. but not by anyone who breathed within 1000 miles of the most notorious antisemite of our age, jeremy corbyn. and not about that. or that. or that. and especially not that.

In both cases, the people having their necks crushed are Palestinian. (Source shows a couple more photos than these).

Probably a lot less effort to assume everyone who signs up in the next few days is eligible than have to maintain a massive list. It's this. The CSPAM thread was also "hey, post here & I'll authorise you" & quickly became "gently caress it, just sign up & I'll authorise you" because of the overwhelming numbers.
