Well this too. There are some things that can make a web framework "scale" poorly but typically your scaling horror show here is the database, and that should have just gotten cheaper to run over time.

Edit: Also IIRC they moved stuff to "the cloud" which was questionable IMO, because unless you have this traffic profile of variable but somewhat predictable workloads you're not going to save money. Cloud stuff is usually a tradeoff between dev velocity vs money in my experience.

crucify this



lowtax: "Help! HELP! I'm stuck in a well!!!"
Goons1-4: "Climb! Climb up and take our hands!"
lowtax: "I'm thinking I should dig... should I dig?"
Goon5: "NO! I was trapped in a well, and digging is a bad idea! Climb out!"
Goons6-8: "Were lowering ropes! Take hold of a rope!"
Goon9: "I've even tied a harness to the end of this one!"
lowtax: "I can feel the ropes, but I don't want to hold onto them... should I dig?"
Goon10: "No! If you dig, you'll hit water, and then you'll be proper hosed. I should know, I almost drowned."
lowtax: "I dug a little bit just now, and I haven't hit water. I'm gonna keep digging..."
Goons11-18: "No! Climb! Climb out!"
lowtax: "Guys, I'm seriously stuck in this well! Help! HELP!!!"
Goon19: "I was trapped in a well once. It took me two years, but I managed to build a climbing machine that pulled me to safety out of a well bucket and a pocket watch. I'm dropping the blueprints, extra buckets, and an assortment of pocket watches."
Goon20: "I've engineered a jet-pack that will rocket you to safety. Stay where you are and we'll lower it down!""
lowtax: "Thanks for your help, guys. I'm gonna keep digging. I'll find the Mines of Moria and I'll just walk to the surface."
**Goons1-20 piss in the well**
Goon21: "Guys, seriously... stop peeing in the well.""

you didnt even get anything on the forums for the patreon whats the loving point

Lowtax has been milking the fact that people equate "Something Awful" with him. The forum they love and the community they think about gets confused with the guy who originally registered the domain.

When Lowtax shows up and says "I NEED MONEY OR ELSE" the community hears "SOMETHING AWFUL NEED MONEY OR ELSE" which led to things like the 2019 fundraiser where goons thought it was their duty to support the forums by donating to the patreon. More money to the patreon means more better for forum.

Everyone is now realizing that the millions of dollars generated by this forum have all been completely wasted by an abusive drunk who has done literally no work and provided nothing to these forums other than requests for more money when his porsche payment makes him feel bad for a $100 cookie airlift expense.

Hopefully that myth is dispelled now. SA could have been upgraded and modernized at any point in the past if anyone other than a giant parasitic leech had ultimate control over the domain. Someone with an actual job who didnt need to subsidize their entire life with forum income could have probably just applied 2-3 months of forum revenue into an upgrade

This feels like going to the cool little corner store where I buy 40s, and the owner is a jerk but in a fun way for shopping there. But today while at the cooler i hear him and his girlfriend screaming at each other. Yikeseroo, but oh well. Except when I go to the register she's sobbing while ringing me up, and telling me it's all her fault. Like, gently caress. I don't think I can shop here any more. But there's not really a place to get 40s now. I'm not going to drive to the supermarket for a 40. Damnit, do I not get to enjoy 40s anymore? All these jokers shouting from their porch that they'll sell me 40s, ah, no thanks

You forgot she also has a black eye

The 'mod complaints' forum is just like qcs, a suggestions forum. Of the top 20 threads in there, there are maybe two that are people complaining about a probe/ban, the rest are stuff like 'let's remove the paywall' and other forum suggestions. Folks can't even find real things to complain about lol

Every 10 bux helps, particularly since business has been extremely slow the past few years and I've had to withdraw my retirement funds to cover costs and past taxes from when SA pulled in much more revenue. The mere fact that somebody willingly created this thread without any encouragement from me says so much by itself, not to mention the money raised to help meet my $7,000 deductible for medical costs.

Dude, as fun as it is to beat up on the mods, they didn't know the extent of Lowtax's abuse anymore than you or I did. They don't speak to the person, or keep up with his day-to-day domestic abuse. Where were your protests at Lowtax's behavior?

As lovely as mods can be -- if they know as much as we do, and we didn't do anything we are just a culpable as they are.
