they give some small amount of support but because they also go around the legs which keeps them in place properly they never pull your equipment up to your body like the other underwear type that shall not be named

Make a GoFundMe for $1,000,000 so we can get XenForo and then once it gets funded, don't do anything with the money just buy a car or something cool

if we migrate to XenForo can it look and work like this and not like bnr?

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.

yeah but now the person in charge can actually use the money from the forums to make them better instead of just lining his pockets and not paying taxes on any of it lol

I missed something apparently. What did they do?

They were enabling Lowtax's poo poo, and helped cover it up by banning and burying posts bringing attention to it, including a poster trying to bring attention to a GoFundMe set up for Lowtax's ex-wife, whom, at the time, was in a shelter with their kid.

Sure, more tech upgrades would be nice, if that's what was holding them back. Although I think a lot of people have gotten very used to this format, and experience with format changes on other sites suggests they aren't always improvements.

Let's just enjoy the last minute salvation for a day or two but when/if Jeffrey can talk about this I do want to ask some things:

1. How much is lowtax getting in the deal and how much passive income will he continue to reap from the site? I don't believe for a second he would agree to a complete cut out, not with his patreon imploding.
2. Is he actually going to abide by being banned forever from this website and are we going to be allowed to poo poo talk him forever or is there some kind of nondisparagement clause in the deal?
3. What kind of changes can we expect to see in the moderation policy, including choosing mods and holding them accountable? If nothing else we need term limits like yesterday.
4. Whatever money the forums produce I personally would like to see a chunk of that set aside for lowtax's kids. I understand there are legal issues as to why we can't help his exes but a 529 or some poo poo like that to ensure his children have a chance at improving themselves seems like it should be doable.
5. What is the possibility of a goon buy-in in ownership of the site so that overtime it becomes more or less communally held and governed?

As I said, probably gonna be a while before any of that can be answered openly but I for one will be expecting it.

Regardless, thanks Jeffrey.

To the extent that it is polite to ask and/or you feel comfortable saying of course

Lowtax isn't getting nothing, it's that he will not receive continuing revenue.

i don't know these posters per se but i saw nurge's posts in the stickied lowtax abuse thread and they were truly, depressingly terrible. I dunno. I got no horse in the renee race, but I think people are seeing malice where in reality there was perhaps some incompetence. I can't say i would have handled the last few months better.

I think most of the goons either have bought no ads or are running an adblocker. I don't see any issue if the ads at the top of the forum bring in a few bucks a month and you keep them active to help cover whatever the server costs actually are.
