i registered on the off-site. Might post there one day, but I need to start reading it and then wait about 3 years. If it exists after that then you might see me hanging about. Over at whiskey toast. Haha

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

This is probably the best possible realistic outcome, even if it’s not the perfect outcome. I’m glad the forums will still exist and not be fractured (much).

Huh. I honestly expected Lowtax to put up more of a fight, or just spite-nuke the database or something. Still, I'd call not having to jump into lifeboats because the ship's sinking For Real good news yeah.

Would you be my new best friends?

I'm super-loving relieved by this news. The idea of Lowtax causing the death of these forums after he's been absentee and uninvolved for so long was incredibly grating (and yes, I know this is the least important thing to be concerned about in the grander scheme of the monstrous things he did). I suppose there is still a chance this doesn't all go through but for now I'm hopeful SA just gets to continue on without him. The safety nets of the Discords, Breadnroses, various other pre-existing forums like The Board and DVDR etc were all there and for that I'm grateful, but it wouldn't have been the same.

Is he? I mean this seriously, my experience with him is primarily that he defended the PPJ Nazi hunting and thought it was a good idea and way supposedly a hold out on FYAD being closed so I'm legitimately curious what people like about Jeff.

I am appreciative of jeff for working on the forums and being the only person who i know that they do good things for the forums while every other admin seems like they are dragons sitting on gold. but I have no idea if he is a good guy. Don't tell anyone i said this because I don't want to become banned.

I've never mentioned this in the Rugby thread, because it's super, super hard to talk about Rugby, now that I'm signed to one of the unions, and get to work with some of the players and referees that we absolutely, definitely didn't say many nice things about in a few of the past threads ^^;

idk i met him a long time ago back when he played fighting games and hes still cool with some of my other goon friends and is pretty smart, that's my experience with him, i haven't actually talked to him in a long time and have 0 clue about any forums drama he was involved with
