NOW WE ARE NOTHING BUT STAUNCH ALLIES OF THE COMMUNITY, YOU NEED US, WITHOUT US NO OFFSITES OR REVIVALS WILL HAVE ANY LEGITIMACY, WE ARE THE TORCHBEARERS OF SA CULTURE AND NOT JUST A HANDFUL OF UNPAID INTERNET JANITORS THAT MOST OF YOU DON'T LIKE

the overhead has to be so loving low though. does the site even host any pictures or video or anything?

yeah all avs, gangtags, and images you atttach are stored on the SA servers. The bandwidth apparently isn't that bad, especially since most images are hosted offsite still, but the database is apparently huge and expensive.

I just realized the funniest part. Lowtax is probably dumb enough to have never set aside a secret golden parachute. I bet all of his wealth has been squandered and now he's gonna be turbo-hosed trying to re-enter any job market. Especially seeing how his dirty laundry will be forever burned onto the internet. During a global pandemic. Possessing all the qualifications of a college intern.

Just read reene's post with this somewhat ominous sentence:

"With that in mind we'd like to ask everyone to check that the email address linked to your account is one that you have access to. If it needs to be updated please do that."

What does this mean? Are they going to try starting a new site and send invite links to everyone who has a registered email on this site?

I don't know but whatever happens I trust admins to do the wrong thing.

the mods and admins are furiously preparing their own offsite right now and will attempt to entice everyone to it in the hopes that Lowtax can die for their sins and we'll all forget how they've all kowtowed to him whenever he's reared his ambien addled head around here, and fail to realize that they're a bunch of puffed up internet barons whose only concern is continuing to maintain their own little bit of power

Makes perfect sense that the offsite which has seen by far the largest surge in registrations this week, is also run by anti-trans people (who are themselves trans). It is normal and cool that the most vocal admin here is spreading these allegations and banning people for questioning them or asking for proof. Lowtax is bad, just trust the person he left in charge here to find you a new place to post.

Really amazing that when the webmaster is accused of a heinous crime, some people are still more angry at the mods. Lowtax being an abuser is just another battlefield in the war against The Bad Mods.

people are mad at 2 specific mods who banned people who were talking about lowtax abusing his exes in the past which seems pretty reasonable!!!

Lmao that burt posted in the good mod thread to call himself a good mod but hasn't posted here at all.

I remember when GBS was talking about gun control everywhere when the school shootings were the prevalent media thing he was all for full civilian disarmament and against arming the poor. The second the riots became the prevalent thing he never said poo poo in any of the relevant threads because he's an upper middle class centrist neolib who just wants things to go back to the way they were so nothing rocks his literal boat.

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

Your forum of depressed round armchair stalinists is spending 90% more time "i'll suggest stuff about the website" than it is "what can we do in real life" and you don't see the gigantic neon sign of self parody going off.

The body armor thing? I think that one the army just made a rule that they couldn't use rando body armor from the internet in general, not just about our drive.




The body armor was received and used. I personally carried one of the sets; it's how I was introduced to the forums. The rules changed later, possibly in response to that charity drive or others like it.
