Very well put. Honestly the fact that this place still exists at the capacity it does is amazing. Oh, new page. gently caress lowtax.

So Lowtaxs defense of being an abuser is that Logan is an alcoholic? What a gross piece of poo poo. Kill yourself Richard

Frank Frank posted:That's a weird one - and you're right. If I had to guess why 4chan works/worked but doesn't work now, it's because they were also a web 1.0 creation and developed their own "culture" (using that term loosely here). These days there are just too many options to choose from. You want a forum devoted to whatever your weird hobby is, there are probably multiple choices. These "one size fits all" community forums addressing multiple interests just don't do well anymore as a rule. SA is a dinosaur that exists purely because its original userbase is still here - partially out of nostalgia but also due to a real sense of community. You simply aren't going to find that elsewhere. "Prestigious" Internet Culture message boards died because everyone just goes on Reddit.

Just have to make sure everyone he owes money knows he got paid. a public sale of a big item like a business with a paper trail is a good way to do it. from a divorce/family court perspective, it’s possibly a better outcome than if he slinks off to obscurity and eventually claims bankruptcy or w/e because his site makes no money (whether that’s true or he claims it is)

LastGoodBoy posted:Exactly. There's not going to be any "we just recreate this elsewhere". If making a successful website was that simple, everyone would do it. I'm probably not explaining this well; I don't think BnR is necessarily a good offsite for SA either. What I'm trying to say that the amount Lowtax gets to negotiate for is dependent on how likely the people in this thread (and by extension, the people in these forums) are to leave. If people in the forum are willing to leave and re-form the forums elsewhere, then Lowtax is likely negotiating from a far poorer position. The abuser gets less money, which is what we all want, right? On the other hand, if people on these forums are so attached that they cannot provide a credible threat of forming an alternative website, then lowtax basically just gets to name a price to Jeffrey. What I'm saying is: even if you don't think the people here can re-form elsewhere properly, you should be threatening re-forming the forums elsewhere very loudly, just to make lowtax less confident of getting a high price for this place.

But I don't know Lowtax you're the one who runs this place!! and then i was banned and lol.

You've got existing community/infrastructure/etc. already in place. You can restructure it and fix what's broken (including transparency) as lovely as giving Lowtax money would be for some people. "Just set up some weird forum that's run by people who will autoban anyone to the right politically of Mao" is a recipe for disaster.

punk rebel ecks posted:"Prestigious" Internet Culture message boards died because everyone just goes on Reddit. Reddit or Digg before that - SA still maintained its culture and had a smaller (but loyal) userbase. People would come and go but most of us that grew up here would usually wander back after a while. Reddit is (literally) nazi-infested trash and after the 2016 election, it became unbearable. The reason SA works for me where reddit doesn't is pretty simple - the $10 reg fee. People won't (ok MOST people won't) make endless rereg accounts to troll/say vile poo poo if it costs them money every time they do it. If reddit instituted an account registration fee, the site would vanish almost overnight.

I just read the transcript and my number 1 reaction is: So Logan's just a "friend" who moved in with him to help him with his back... and that's why Lowtax has nudes of her and there's the pic of him smelling her foot.

I'm sure the delinquent tax seeking IRS and any divorce court he finds himself in will find that very interesting. Also child support.

If Jeffrey says "we'll run it with exactly the same posting philosophy as SA (minus the corrupt loving moderators)" then this is a moot point. Why not attempt it first? If it fails then two months from now Lowtax is only in a weaker position and will need the cash more badly. Who else even wants it? If JoY gets 25% of the userbase (and based on the jumped-off-a-cliff Patreon subscriptions, most goons are not going to continue to support Lowtax), isn't that enough?

There is no circumstance where Lowtax does not get paid, either SA can get destroyed, or not, that is the actual choice.
