Trying to work "AJJ - A Song Dedicated to the Memory of Screamy the Fish" into more of a joke than just the title but the actual song is really sad and i don't want to even try to rework the lyrics so I'mma leave this idea here and :justpost:

one thing I will say to the taxman's credit: one time I saw mangtosteens at the market and I got them because of the memes, and they were actually pretty good. Not like, life-changing, but a solid 8/10.

RIP rich, your attempt to get goons to click MLM affiliate links for weird chinese juice introduced me to a fruit that's like halfway between an orange and a strawberry. That doesn't make up for, y'know, all the other stuff, but mangosteens are pretty good.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

Mangosteen was really the weirdest blunder. How are you going to create a forum that fosters a very cynical anti-corporate view and then get mad when your affiliate link snake oil thing gets called out?

I guess he figured out the correct way to grift the forums but mangosteen was hilariously tone-deaf.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

I'll never forget the time I tried to helldump someone and hosed it up so badly that I got helldumped in my own thread and forcibly taught some humility following a 1 week probe. Taught me a lot about throwing stones tbh

It's funny as someone on the other side of a similar experience you think I'd remember more of it. I can't even remember who it was that called me out. The only thing really I can recall is someone else in the thread saying in my defense, "that's not rolling with the punches, that's rope a dope" which made me feel seen. Maybe it didn't happen at all and I dreamt it.

laughing at internet stuff and trying to explain it to "normies. . ."

well you see, this guy's fish died and then he froze it. people came up with various ways he should bury the fish to honor its memory. no, no its a gold fish not a big fish. his name? well we named him Screamy but. . .then somebody had cum in their mouth and took all the attention away from the fish.

look it doesn't matter WHY HE FROZE THE FISH HE JUST DID

My girlfriend got mad at me last night because I kept laughing at my phone, and whenever she asked what I was laughing at, I couldn't explain myself for obvious reasons.

Having all these 40 somethings from the early 2000s coming back and complaining about how the forums are these days is like some weird old dude who lived in your house a long time before you moved in coming around one day uninvited and criticising how you’ve furnished it

So he killed himself because he was gonna be broke from the court ruling or because he felt that he was confirmed in court that he was an abuser? Didn't he want a divorce too. Maybe there is more to this. A mystery to be solved.

i like seeing Jeffrey pop into the thread. he's so wholesome and really wants SA to become a community again and rise beyond its juvenile origins.

protip: sell out as soon as you can my dude. the forums will never fill the same spot in your heart that drugs and sex could. get hosed up on PCP and abandon yourself to hedonism. gently caress hookers and eat endangered species; life is only the progressive loss of meaning, and one day you will be broken too.

still glad you saved the site tho

Hard disagree. relative to the amount of money I spent on this site, no drug has even come close to the sheer mindfuckery regularly found here.

Though if I had allegedly epent 400k to buy these forums, hmmm
That's a lot of sex and/or drugs

Lowtax’s death has brought new attention to the site, something it hasn’t seen in many years. Through his sacrifice SA will be born again into everlasting life.

Guys was Lowtax actually Jesus? Has anyone checked his tomb recently to see if the stone is still blocking the entrance?

Lowtax.

I'm sorry to hear about your death.

I remember that one time when the forums were down and everyone was on your Twitter feed and you had us all get on Twitch and raid random people. That was the first time I ever got on Twitch and I've been a big fan of that since. So thank you for putting me on to that and thank you for the good times, buddy!

Rest in peace.
