The one thing that will stick with me forever on this is Lowtax's absolute insistence that no court of law found him guilty of DV.

Then it did.

The early 2000s have vomited all over the forums, and some lady with a bird wanted to gently caress Lowtax but the only penetration that occurred was directly into his cranium.

Unsung forums legend right here y'all, at least in my mind. Top-shelf humor for years.

What people need to understand is how much easier it is for stuff to go viral today, and how much rarer that sort of thing was 15-20 years ago, pre-Facebook, pre-Twitter, pre-[insert literally any social media platform]. Whenever SA is referenced as this cornerstone of internet culture it's always via AYB and lolcats and whatever, but that wasn't what made this place great back in the day, that's just the fragments of stuff that managed to fumble and fart its way upstream to a larger audience. Packed tightly around that poo poo was this constant stream of random essays, Photoshop contests, all kinds of stuff that was super fuckin witty, creative and inspired humor that made the forums absolutely awesome in their day. (I don't intend that as any comparison to how things are now; I don't have much perspective on that, I'm just blabbing on how it was back then.) So props to the creators of those memes and poo poo that made it big, but imo there's a shortlist of 30-40 goons all across the forums that were cranking out consistently hilarious stuff at an absolutely insane rate from like 2002-2005 or so.

As far as I'm concerned, if there was an SA Hall of Fame, CgiBinLaden would be first-ballot. Cheers my dude, and cheers to all the OGs swinging through here on this weird day

Truth. The photoshop contests with us and Worth1000 were amazing. And that time we invaded Sony Online's dating game...

when i think of lowtax i think of that picture someone took of him passed out on a couch in the something awful office with some pill bottles on the table. i think he posted an open invitation to come chill since he was closing the space, but no one showed up except for one guy who took pictures and some merch without lowtax ever knowing he was even there.

really makes you think

holy poo poo i forgot about that

I�m really sad to hear this news. Lowtax was hugely influential for me when I made worth1000 and I�m always going to look back on the fake photoshop phriday rivalry was had many years ago. RIP dude and my condolences to your family.

God drat this thread makes me feel old.

I'm just waiting for Emily "Integral" Reigel and Euronymous to show up and we'll rip open a portal to 2003.

A wild plot twist would be Euronymous and King REol being the ones to actually drive Lowtax to self deletion in their ultimate revenge. 18 years in the making.

saratoga: Mar 5, 2001; This is a Randbrick post. It goes in that D&D megathread on page 294

"i think obama was mediocre in that debate, but hillary was fucking terrible. also russert is filth."

-randbrick, 12/26/08

I was backing him on patreon without paying attention since i felt bad for him and how sad his life looked.

Now I find out that he's dead and also a complete monster to his kids.

I don't even know what to think.

Edit: lol forgot about that randbrick title
