I appreciate the summary but would ask that you not include your own commentary in the middle of it. It comes off like a position paper, based on your opinion of both of the show hosts. I'm sure you've got it, and I'll listen later, but, it doesn't lend confidence to the reader to write like that.

Holy poo poo dude. You are acting more entitled than lowtax. Write you own summary next time.

The pettiness around the image hosting is such baby with the bathwater.

What was the deal with image hosting? Did lowtax throw a fit because he didn't want to host images on his own servers?

Per some dumb vice article we had nearly 200k registered accounts as of 2017. That's $2,000,000 without any forum upgrades, re-reg'd accounts, avatars, grudge avars, advertisement, SAmart stickies, internal banners, patreon money, donation money, tshirts or stickers, rifftrax tie-ins, ad-revenue from the frontpage back in the day, etc etc.

Yeah, $7 million doesn't seem crazy.

I will follow Jeffrey to some site from scratch too

This place means a lot to me, but I'll go. I actually think this place would have less people and can you imagine the constant snark everywhere? GBS couldn't exist, and those who stayed would fight with any new chuds.

Imagine the political forums lol
That is where much of the posters are and they aren't going to stay and give this rear end in a top hat money

Half are gone by the end of the year

Look at it this way, no matter what he is going to make money, even if everyone mad leaves and the admins burn everything down on the way out, he will just fix it.

Say Jeff doesn't buy it for 100k (a pure guess), Lowtax will easily make 100k off the lingering clueless people and chuds that stay, as well as the front page. it will be over many years but hes still absolutely going to make that money no matter what, no matter how mad people are.

Say Jeff does buy it for 100K (again a pure guess number). Lowtax still makes the money, but there is a much bigger chance he blows it all at once on something stupid and ruins his life more.

One way preserves SA as a community, the other sees it die in a firey hellstorm.

Either way Lowtax is making money and nobody is going to be able to stop it from happening.

His Patreon went from nearly 100k a year to less than 18k a year in a couple days and is likely on its way to zero or very close to it.

I don’t see a lot of people buying avs and name changes and unbans either.

I don’t see this forum making much money going forward if it stays owned by Richard.

I agree.

Lowtax failing at even being able to grift from MAGA chuds and dying penniless and alone is honestly the best end scenario.

We can easily go elsewhere.
