Lightning Knight posted:I am hopeful but not for the continuation of this specific platform. I think it's a bit premature to begin looking at outcomes. The #1 goal right now should be to ensure Logan is somewhere safe and away from the unhinged serial abuser and it looks like that's what the mods are doing. Threats about ruining Lowtax's livelihood can come after the victim is safe from repercussions. Until then I don't think anyone is at a place for negotiations of any kind.

Any offer in ~2007 would have had 7 zeroes most likely. Now the $150k jase1 has offered is probably the best lowtax could get. I hope he sells, because no way he gives up control without it and the place will just die otherwise.

I think there's room for both, since there are more than a handful of people involved, and delegation of tasks and specialization have been a thing since the start of human civilization (even if they were only really codified in the industrial age).

It's not really delegation of tasks I am concerned about, it's Lowtax reacting. If he sees the loss of his primary (only?) reliable income stream disappearing he might take rash and violent action. Think any dictator who is losing power starting to see assassins behind every curtain.

"Worth" here is highly subjective. In terms of a profitable business investment...yeah, it's probably not that anymore without relying on the random kindness of patreon donors. But in terms of "this is a community of good people that I don't want to see scattered to the winds" then, well, maybe that is worth $150k to him. poo poo, if I were dummy rich to the point where $150k was a rounding error on my bank statements or whatever, I could see trying to buy it just to keep this place going.

I hope he sells, because no way he gives up control without it and the place will just die otherwise. i saw someone say in another thread that jase1 made an offer, but i didn't know if it was a joke comment. 150k to me sounds like a generous offer for the shambling corpse of SA. i don't know anything about jase1. is he a poker goon that made it big? did he make his money on orange juice futures? not that it matters to me either way. i was thinking everyone who gave a poo poo would pitch in what they could to make lowtax an offer, but i figured that would end up like 50k tops.

But like other people have said there's no reason to think that anyone from bnr did that. It's just someone poo poo-stirring. the solution to this was developed recently, like as in... last week, and the scope of it was to give moderators the ability to blank out avs on an adhoc basis. i think what moved the needle was someone receiving a title over their recently passed grandma? going after the root of the problem isn't in the cards; however, the management has taken your valuable input that maybe they should lock down buying other people an av to be gated by having to log in, and it will be considered going forward.

i mean the fact that people are posting about some sort of adtrw/cspam/bnr rivalry (i've never heard about it but i'm not up in all the forums drama) instead of what a piece of poo poo lowtax is and how much bullshit (including chud bullshit) was allowed to fester on these forums should tell you everything you need to know about why that av was bought.

Sheng-Ji Yang posted:is there no plan to set up an alt site yet? There are at least three different alt-sites goons are migrating to. Bread and Roses CSPAM.xyz Something-Waffle The vast majority seem to be going to Bread and Roses though. That said there doesn't seem to be that much hopping in total. ResetEra for example has over 50,000 members (which to be fair is over the course of 2 years) while Bread and Roses doesn't even have a tenth of that.
