Seriously if he's dead that's kinda sad but not too sad because of him being a piece of crap domestic abuser.

Just weird seeing this after all the events of the last few years, expecting him to eventually fade away into the background of the internet as a pariah. Condolences to all those who suffer in the wake.

Honestly, this place picked up the slack left behind by the huge void that was my social circle when I moved from England to the US back in 2004, and there are people here who have literally saved me from financial disaster and helped me and my girlfriend move house (<3 the CYOA crew from the games room). gently caress the concept of turning the forums off because this community is so much greater than its origins. Yeah there will always be shitlords, but Goonkind is capable of as much good as it is ill.

As a relative oldtimer and also like basically everyone else, my relationship with SA has changed a ton since the early 00s. For one, I used to be on here for hours every day whereas now it's way more selective and mostly in niche threads and groups.

Around this time last year I was backing up old hard drives and came across my huge stash of saved SA images where I kept a copy of anything funny or meaningful or otherwise neat. I was initially really excited and looked forward to a stroll down memory lane.

Yeah, no. My memory had on rose colored glasses and going through those images was a mixed bag of emotions. A ton of agonized moments going "Oh god, I remember this one, and I remember thinking it was funny back then!". I wasn't even into edgelord poo poo, it was all pretty mainstream internet/SA humor that I found so awesome.

Before I started in on looking through them, I thought of uploading it all somewhere and sharing here just for nostalgia's sake, but too much of it has aged horrendously and is shameful. It would take hours of curation and then wouldn't be an honest account of the time, regrettably.

I'd only interacted with Lowtax a few limited times but was friends with people closer to him and had always felt a bit weary of him. Certainly talented in some ways but with mean streak that could flare up and stay stuck on certain targets of his.

Over the years, I'm glad I've seen my sensibilities grow along with me since the time I first discovered this site in college. I'm also glad to to see the similar and overall positive transformation this community has had--or at least the bulk of those who stuck around or in orbit of the forums. And I'm sad that this site's creator never really had that similar growth, and grew apart from myself and this community until the momentum of trust and fondness ripped apart last year. I hoped for better for him and the people in his life.

Well said, sir. I kinda was looking back at older stuff too recently and...it's also aged pretty horrendously and just complete yikes.

But man, these forums got me through weird rear end times. These forums are were I learned of how good and generous people can be. But also how loving hosed up and lovely people can be. But some of my bffs are goons, and the amount of laughter, content, and just sheer value I've gotten from these forums are immeasurable. None of it would exist without Lowtax

RIP Lowtax, long live the forums
