For the record, Jeffrey repeatedly ignored me during the whole PPJ saga when I kept trying to explain why C-SPAM was angry and what he could do to help the situation.

It was very frustrating.

My dear goon, the announcement has an animated porky the pig going "that's all folks" inside the goatass. It is 100% a joke.

That's the least stupid option, and if we can be sure of one thing in 2020 it's that the least stupid option NEVER happens.

That's just factually not true
again, him "fixing the search" was just him turning back on the search indexer that ZDR turned off because it was broken and it's why the forums routinely run lovely for random periods of time
he still hasn't fixed it because he doesn't know how

I can say that you may think what you will of Jeffrey, but it's not a ruse and he's legitimately attempting to remove Lowtax from the forums.

If you don't like Jeffrey and don't think him owning the site would be any better then I don't think you should stay. I don't say that with judgement, just that you should trust your instincts.

But it's not like, a ploy or trick or something to keep Lowtax involved. None of us loving like Lowtax lol.

yeah i feel like this deal is either never happening, or not happening but they'll say it did

the wild card is that he apparently owns or owned an audi a8 and a porsche 911 at least fairly recently

if he inherited some rich uncle or something, he might be fine financially and who knows, he might give up the forums

but if he's up to his cybernetic neck in debt like he says, then he needs his hundred grand a year, and he's not gonna take fifty bucks and a handshake

I guess I'm just looking for confirmation that lowtax won't be getting paid outside of an initial one-way purchase and is actually being cut out completely and left without any financial connection to the site.

Like, I remember that thing he did with Radium where he pretended that Radium was fired that he had hired somebody new, but really he was still paying Radium to pretend that he was somebody else.

I don't know Jeffrey at all and have never seen mention of him before, but I'm basically just worried that Lowtax has found a way to keep leeching off of the site indefinitely.

He very briefly decided that I was the Official CSPAM Spokesperson (much to everyone's, including and especially mine, disbelief and dismay) because I'd written some dumb effortpost fueled entirely by insomnia and existential despair.

That was a weird couple of days.

How does Jeffrey just have (at least) six figures lying round in the middle of a huge recession? Is he independently wealthy or some poo poo? If so why is he wasting his life as an admin on a dying forum?

jeffery is the guy who fought tooth and nail to keep fyad open after the racism, trans poster doxxing, and general nazitude. He is only better than Lowtax insofar as he hasn't been credibly accused of abuse. So far. As far as I know. Anyone going in for him taking over is voting for the Joe Biden of Something Awful.

I don't know how much money is being discussed. I am not privy to the terms of the deal.

But, as I said: if you don't trust Jeffrey, then don't trust Jeffrey. I'm not going to come out here and be like actually he's the greatest ever, I've had my disagreements with him too. But I want to see Lowtax gone and the forums survive. If you don't believe Jeffrey can, or will, do that, then follow your heart.

Not just that, but there've been a ton of subtle UI improvements, including all the C-SPAM specific styles. I don't know if Jeffrey is actually personally responsible for any of it but he was admin when it happened
