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?

Let's just cement it in place, to be sure

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.

I remember this, we ended up in some couple's minecraft stream that had 2 viewers before us and we asked them to build a Goku and we'd donate money. They didn't believe us but actually built Goku, we donated.

Are the cops in the gun-nuts forum discussing the type of firearm he used and debating the merits of his choice? Being SA I'm guessing that they are but I'm scared to check and also I don't like cops.

just make a new one. ive never been shy about being a rereg, was no need to attach to a 10 years dormant account full of white noise from my teenage years probably about cs1.5 and how awesome the ps3 was going to be.

i think it was the "spine charity" that got me back here because the signal fires were lit that the forums might die, and i was like well what's :10bux: after all these years, but its still the only good place to piss away a workday online.

lol I met fishmech through IRC and ran into him a few times like 12 years ago when I was on the east coast. I don't remember his voice because he... did not have much in the way of physical presence. The only thing I remember about his communication was him getting mad about pc buiilding and really any discussion that could be reduced to points of technicality.

there was always a weird mix of "this person is a teenager, with teenager emotions and because they're here, often a lovely home life" and "this person is a fully formed adult who sucks" and a lot of the teenagers grew up, got therapy, came out as trans, ditched their parents, learned to code, whatever.

hell the reason i was drawn in here was i was a poor, latchkey kid with few friends, no money, couldn't afford to go to college, so I worked 2 jobs and spent the rest of my time on the forums while my friends did teenager/college stuff. now im just a regular dude with a computer touching job & 10 more years of actively improving my mental health.

the thing about the quote "goodnight sweet prince" is that it's an incredibly iconic quote from Hamlet, but whenever you see it used on the internet by a terrible nerd you 100% know they're actually quoting the big lebowski, even though the big lebowski was itself obviously quoting hamlet as the whole drat joke, which as a process kind of sums up the failed experiment that is nerd culture

The modern revisionists and reactionaries call us Stalinists, thinking that they insult us and, in fact, that is what they have in mind. But, on the contrary, they glorify us with this epithet; it is an honor for us to be Stalinists.

Yeah it'd be helpful to know what these posters consider the sort of glorious humor now forbidden on this forum, and how much of it is actually funny and not just weird personal nostalgia of "oh man when me and my Internet buddies were 16 we were high and spammed the lyrics of 'Dude (Looks Like a Lady)' to some chick with a dick on Everquest. It was comedy gold. All your base are belong to us!"
