This sucks.

Thank you Lowtax for sitting through Valor's Kids on-stream and always being cool in our handful of interactions. Met a lot of good people through this site and it's been (and continues to be) a huge part of my life.

RIP :(

i feel like this idea is inherently flawed because 4chan is fundamentally an english offshoot of a japanese site using the same tech and largely about the same things (porn and anime). sa led to 4chan but odds are something similar would have been created with a similar culture regardless, because turns out the internet likes porn and anime. maybe whoever ran it besides moot wouldnt have made /pol/ but this site just led to some offshoot sites being created, it didnt create the human wants and communities that those sites fulfilled and catered to.

yeah i agree, i'm not so much trying to draw clear lines of intent and responsibility so much as i'm just lamenting the terrible things at the other end of this particular rube goldberg machine

As some have accurately pointed out, Lowtax will receive his just reward of salvation. The aggregate good obviously outweighed any personal negative evil. You can liken this to when Jeff Bezos will pass, as he will surely enter the pearly gates as he has provided so many opportunities to so many in need.

Both times I was banned in this place was by Lowtax, and one of those times Ozma un-banned me and said 'sorry, he was pretty drunk'

Or it could have been someone else, but that's what I remember, I'm old.
