BITCH



Just wanna make sure we're all clear on this, since this thread is moving so fast

I. M. Gei posted:

I'm gonna be at least the 200th person to ask who's gonna get his sweet GTR

If he still had it when he croaked and it wasn't repo-ed and he didn't leave it to anyone in his will and nobody else has claimed it yet, then I hereby officially call dibs on Lowtax's GTR. But not the remaining payments on it. I wanna make it clear I'm calling dibs on the car but not on whatever payments on it he had left.

I. M. Gei posted:

I also hereby officially call dibs on all other expensive and/or valuable items Lowtax owned that aren't already claimed by other people.

I just found out about this on Twitter. Thank you for telling everyone about Lowtax's passing, Fragmaster. I don't really know what to say, aside from the fact that I feel terrible for his family.
Has there been a GoFundMe or something like that set up yet to help his kids?

You're deluded if you think the culture and ethic of this site are anything but products of his hard work along with people he personally selected.

There's nothing easy about managing thousands and thousands of anonymous people and he figured out a way to make it really funny and good. All the personal poo poo is something else, and I haven't really followed anything that happened outside the basketball thread in 10+ years but he created an internet institution and that's almost real

It says something that the sports forums here are the only good ones on the internet

Lowtax had nothing to do with the success of this site. Its a complete fabricated fantasy to say he mattered to this community or to give him any sort of credit for the impact SA had on the internet.
