Hi. Old timer here to say the internet lost a founding father of trolling today. regardless of the opinions of anyone now. Pouring out a Michelob Ultra for my homies here. Uppa posted:Posting for posterity. My condolences to his children. If you ever read this, nobody is a cartoon villain. While your dad was unquestionably not a good man, that doesn’t mean he wasn’t capable of wanting to be, or of loving you. Better words than mine to express my thoughts. I still love the Lowtax from my reg date today. Mods change my name to Lowtax plz I hear it’s available

Mediocrity succeeds in spite of himself, watches that success slip away, then spends the better part of two decades embittered and hurting those close to him. I spent my childhood in a home with an abusive loser whose best days were behind him. Almost 30 years later that cocksucker still lives in my head rent free. It's horrible that Lowtax's kids lost their father, but hopefully they'll be spared some measure of further grief because of the man their father was, and who he was incapable of being. RIP

Hey I hope everyone coming back for the taxman's final act stays around, the forums are definitely better under Jeff than they were under lowtax's absentee landlordship. poo poo the first thing that happened was thread search was implemented after years of being told it was impossible

I was hoping to face Richard personally on the battlefield, one gentleman warrior to another, in respectful combat. Then I would snap his spine. Ah. The road not taken.

rivetz posted:Yeah truth be told I never found much of Lowtax's writing that funny, though I never said so out of general courtesy. Too much of it boiled down to endless riffs on "look how stupid [site/person/thing] is"; I've certainly composed my share of that stuff both here and elsewhere, but it's pretty low-hanging fruit imo. I don't find it inspiring to write and I'd rather compose fuckin Hallmark cards than have to crank it out daily like he did how low do your balls hang

metaxus posted:I joined SA in 2003. Flew to Sydney in 2004 when Lowtax came to Australia for a goonmeet. He bought us all enough beer by the end of the night (using a Mastercard with the name Something Awful, LLC on it) to more than make up for having to pay for our forum memberships. He and I chatted for a bit, and he gave me his business card, which I still have somewhere. There were so many in-jokes that night, and Rich certainly seemed like a funny guy who didn't take anything too seriously. yea it’s clear he had no interest or aptitude for running a business. it was probably a lot of fun for him early on, but the success of it caught up with him back in the aughts sometime. i remember even years ago, small businesses wanted to buy ad space in the banners, and he wouldn’t even return their emails. literally couldnt be bothered to get paid which too bad so sad, we should all be so lucky as to fall rear end backwards into a very lucrative business

Regardless of his character, he started a legendary forum. Separate the artist from the art I guess.

Wow, this feels weird. Although i've only registered recently, i did lurk a lot between 2003 and 2010 or so, and i enjoyed the dickhead humor a lot as an edgy teen. Keyboard goop and the nasty bachelor apartments are etched into my memory. Laughed at certain things i would come to actually really like some 15 years later and now i feel stupid about making GBS threads on them. Seems like quite a lot of people here went through the same process. And now it feels like i've read through a whole chapter of the internet and it's ended, if that makes any sense. It makes me feel old and mortal. I wonder what SA will look like in another 20 years. I hope it still will be that one weird, technically obsolete forum that just keeps chugging on. Anyway, kinda sucks that it's yet another suicide. There are too many of those. Although i fully believe the folks who say he was a horrible and abusive person (and i think such people definitely should face the consequences of such behavior), it kinda felt like a punch in the gut when i read it.
