GET LOSE, YOU CAN'T COMPARE WITH MY POWERS
I'll start. I'm playing this RPG, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitiive Edition for the Nintendo Switch. In it, the humans were saved by a legendary hero, Dunban, with a legendary sword a year ago. He was badly injured after that and spent the year laid up in bed. The main character, Shulk, The Usurper, happens to puzzle out a bit of how to use the legendary sword during an attack, and decides he's gonna keep it. Like 3 days later, Dunban shows up and is like "hey I'm fine now, can I join your party". He does, and Shulk doesn't even offer his sword back. The dude saved humanity and the main character just implicitly thinks like, "well I called dibs". Doesn't this make him kind of an rear end in a top hat?

Anyway I'll start with the easy ones. Any agreement I will sign will involve the complete and immediate divestment of Lowtax and, when it is executed in the immediate short term, he will not receive any sort of continuing revenue from something awful. It will be a complete transfer with no outstanding obligations to him, or it won't happen. I'm not making any random radical changes to suit my whims or yours, unless they're funny enough. This will remain the premiere source of internet comedy on the web and hell, I'll be here with you. I dutifully promise that I will never allow myself to become SA's absentee landlord, and if I find that one day I am no longer interested, I will make sure they end up in good hands. I will see to it that funds used to purchase things on SA are used to improve SA, or saved for a time of need. I recognize that I am in no way the owner of this community, merely its steward, and this transition depends on my good will with you all as much as anything. I'm going to be crazy overwhelmed with messages for....awhile and I'm sorry if I don't respond to something.

Thanks a shitload to all of the other admins, mods, and users who hung in there. This place is great because of you all and it has nothing to do with me, or Lowtax. This is by far the best website on the internet and it will continue to be. This poo poo was really scary and sad and I really hope we can move forward a stronger community for it.

Also I'm gonna remove the (non-goon) ads. gently caress ads. Thanks to everyone who bought no-ads, maybe I'll give you some sort of perk, probably not though!!!

How do we know you aren't Lowtax? He could just log in to your account if he wanted. Post a timestamp with your face proving your aren't Lowtax

Burt is really Lowtax in disguise because he doesn't have a spine.

Far as I’m concerned I have long since gotten my value out of that purchase.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

Jeffrey, what action will be taken regarding Reene and Burt's modding and admin powers? I don't think I'm alone in believing that them continuing in those roles is now completely untenable.

Faces can be faked. Timestamp with an x-ray of your spine instead!

Honestly, I kind of appreciated the absentee landlord aspect--it let the forums evolve on their own. Kind of feel they'd be in a much worse state if Lowtax had stayed heavily involved.

:siren: I just got confirmation Admins will be clearing all Auto-Bans that happened. If you know someone that did, you can let them know it should be reversed in a few days. If after a few days or so you still see one that gets missed, please let someone know. Make a QCS thread or PM me is the quickest way. I'll signal boost it till it is taken care of. :siren:
