It's crazy to think how much time was collectively spent here by all sorts of people, from all walks of life. How many genuine laughs the sub brought over all its weird years. Now more time is spent on Reddit, and I think humor, and the internet, is worse for it.

Thanks for all the memories, LowTax.

RIP Lowtax. This place has been a pretty huge part of my life for the past 20 years of my life so thanks for that.

They say, "you mean it's just sounds?" thinking that for something to just be a sound is to be useless, whereas I love sounds just as they are, and I have no need for them to be anything more than what they are.
It occurred to me that head trauma is no joke. What if him getting clocked by Uwe Boll led to his death in a butterfly-effect sort of way?

Lowtax had a lot of issues but nobody deserves to be in a place where they take their own life. It isn't funny to think of even an assholes being so deeply mired in despair they reach that point.

You don't have to glorify someone but some of the jokes being made are all kinds of foul.

Something I think about sometimes is that this community is made up of people from all over the world.

Sure he was a wife-beater and scammer who killed himself after purposefully wasting his money so it wouldn’t go to his wife and daughters, but he also made these dead gay forums, so I guess we have no choice but to memorialize him like the founding fathers.

Rest in piss lowtax.
