I remember you. 2006. Portland, Oregon. I flew out to a book signing you were doing at a bookstore (finally done in by covid last year, something I have just discovered while looking it up). The line was actually around the block. Dozens of other internet weirdos like me. There to see you, meet you, hear you say something absurd and funny. It's cold and miserable and rainy and my cousin has a migraine and wants to find something else to do. But I insist. I want to wait and meet you. You'd been there for me since I truly, meaningfully discovered the internet. Shaped my sense of humor into something unique and special. Made a little part of my life - well, if not brighter, at least funnier. So I waited for you. The line was very long. The bookstore should have been closed by the time I got to you. But you had waited, too. You were clearly exhausted, bags under your eyes, an energy drink long since emptied on the corner of the table. You did your best to hide it. You signed my book with a clever rip on Seanbaby, you noticed my Skynet t-shirt and talked to me about James Cameron more than the people behind me probably would have liked, you told me we could hang out if I ever attended any kind of internet get together. You were nice and funny and far more gracious than I would have been. 2009. Chicago, Illinois. My friend Randall and I drive four hours to hang out with you and other people from the internet. The tide had already started turning on you at this point. The group is a quarter the size it would've been just a few years ago. I'd had reasons to hesitate. In certain circles, your internet persona was allegedly overtaking your actual personality. Your brazen snarkiness no longer just a means of communicating your wit. But I didn't find that to be the case. We had sloppy Venezuelan steaks and got mildly drunk together. We spent no less than half an hour talking about Zardoz and then, moving on to more personal things, adolescence, the way the internet was changing, the way we were both starting to feel like dinosaurs. Relics. You were a human being, I discovered. Someone who felt things in a way that couldn't be reflected in a simple MSPaint review of M. Night Shyamalan's Signs. 2020. The Internet. The turning tide is now a tsunami. You've said some stupid things, done some stupid things, you've potentially given yourself covid out of either sheer stupidity or dedication to a failing comedy bit... And I feel self-conscious. For liking you, for finding you funny, for maybe even spending time with you. You've shown your rear end for the whole world to see. The book you signed for me almost a decade and a half ago eventually finds its way into storage. I don't really want to think about you at this point, and I ending up finding myself rarely in that position anyway. Not consciously, at least. But I can't deny it. You are at the nexus of a million tendrils that have influenced so much of my life. Not just my sense of humor, but the people I've met, the things I've wanted to do (and some I have!), and on some fundamental level, the very way I live. Knowing that you're gone hits hard. It's the ultimate sucker punch. I never consciously thought of this day coming, but I also didn't realize how much I'd still care when it did. Lowtax, you were so much. An rear end in a top hat. A comedy legend. The pro-internet superstar. A human. And I'll keep remembering you. Now excuse me, my gooners, but it's time to break that copy of The Alphabet of Manliness out of storage and give it a good read.

Well richard, you beat em all buddy. Fark, ebaums, your wife. everyone in your way. you could have just been somewhat nice and lived in fabulous comfort by just doing a podcast or something but instead you got banned from twitter kicked off your site and then died of eating meat rods in grover's living room apparently. everyone you hated is now more succesful than you and youll live forever as a story middle aged twitter people occasionally tell to confuse zoomers, rest piss.

This place truly was special in its heydey. Goondolances and I hope the accusations against him weren't true. they were true op and you can reminisce about SA without assuming its founder must be a good person

He was a pretty garbage person but he is responsible for one of the few places on the internet I still regularly visit. Onions have layers, ogres have layers. The real question on my mind though is, has anyone gotten Uwe Boll's commentary on this news. Also wondering if those offsites with obsessive jilted former forum members still exist, and if they'll find new purpose now that their arch nemesis is gone. napster of meat posted:I went to this. Sort of. After the meet at the hotel for the, I don't know, orientation speech I guess, I realized that it was a horrible mistake and just hung out in my room, gambled with my friend who came along just for that, and ate a bad comped meal at the hotel. Regret. it was a fun time and I met a lot of cool people there (including the guy in the pink shirt) that I still keep in touch with today perhaps if you made different choices it would not have resulted in regret for you, friend
