All the old lovely goons swooping in to whine about not being able to say slurs is weirdly fitting since that’s also all lowtax did the entire time since I registered

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

I don’t want to put words in Jeff’s mouth, but his motivations seem to differ from Lowtaxs, and that’s putting it mildly.

Hey can we maybe understand that some people didn't follow the ins and outs of the happenings in the life of an internet forum owner and when they come here to say "RIP The guy who made a forum I spent a lot of time on, you seemed pretty cool" They maybe aren't saying "I SUPPORT SPOUSAL ABUSE AND LOWTAX WAS JESUS AND COULD DO NO WRONG AND LOL HIS WIVES DESERVED IT"?

Like, gently caress the guy, but I don't think everyone is aware of all the poo poo he did and maybe now he's dead it doesn't matter all that much any more anyway.

Whatever else he may have done aside, he made a website and forums that helped solidify my sense of comedy. I still look at old Photoshop Phridays and fondly remember the high school days of nazel gazing and laughing and being an insufferable piece of poo poo. Some things never change.

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.

To be fair I don't see anyone doing that in this thread. I also don't agree that it "doesn't matter all that much any more," considering he did bad things (even his suicide was done with malicious intent) that have no reason to be ignored.

When Bill Cosby dies I'm sure there will be people who talk about how he was an inspirational and/or entertaining figure to them growing up—and was later revealed to be a horrible human being. There's no contradiction, both are true. If Lowtax was a force for pure evil his entire life then no one would ever have interacted with him, and neither SA nor his marriages nor children would have ever existed. He tried to take advantage of the good he did in order to get away with the bad. Hence the importance of highlighting the bad.

Instead they're ridiculing people who are like "rest in piece Richard, your forum has since been taken over by the pink-haired communists and it isn't funny anymore."

It does matter because the people he abused are still alive and taking his life was one last horrible thing he could do to them.

Ahh yeh fair enough gently caress them. I didn't see any of that in the last few pages, but I've seen a few people posting "Thanks for the site Richard" type posts being poo poo on for a few pages afterwards.

It's a bit much that any post like that (there aren't many, now we're flipping out over page 145, right?) inspires a dozen pages of outrage porn and dogpiling about how mentally ill, out of touch, degenerate unpersons are once more invading the forum, while anything short of KYSing these guys is fair game. If insincerity, abuse and resentment were ever part of the problem, there's still room to improve.

It's a lot of meh dudes seeing their own memorials not far off and getting worried. The closer to death people are, the more concerned with funeral politics they get.

All I can say is, you don't get to control how you are remembered. You will die one day and your legacy will be what it is, not what you want it to be.

I think the word goon should be changed, because its origin is “Lowtax and his goons” and frankly it would be in our best interests to distance ourselves a bit further
