It seemed to good to be true from your perspective, and well, it was. Why the gently caress would you buy this avatar for yourself? I know you are aware of the ongoing discussion about avatar traceability. The part that has gone unsaid is that I can look up when someone buys an avatar for themselves, and that's what you did here.

I guess I can see why you said this:

I wish I could say this is the first time you've done this, but it's not. You seem to have used the avatar system to direct death threats at yourself and tell yourself to kill yourself repeatedly and even said that you, yourself should "join the 41%". Why? Why the gently caress would you do that? Mirror universe Koala's March where she sockpuppets negative attention at herself instead isn't any more fun. I maybe get it a little bit up until the point where you start blaming other people for them and manipulatively pretending you don't know what they're referring to.

So yeah, I am averse to making money if it's from someone buying hateful avatars for themselves and trying to pin it on other people.

I sometimes wish radium would appear and post stories to really give an inside look at the whole hosed up decisions he made

that and tell his side of basically ghosting the gently caress out of lowtax for years at a time while collecting a paycheck to literally ignore him and demand to only be contacted by email, then aim, then some obsucre method all to avoid talking to him

He would talk to Lowtax. The trick was that he would never actually answer Lowtax on anything resembling a date something would be finished, Lowtax had no idea how to code, and he didn't want to trust anyone else with it. iirc logs of Lowtax and radium went like this (and I'm going entirely off memory/paraphrasing):

quote:

lowtax: hey bud
radium:
lowtax: have you worked on the feature i wanted where the forums dont crash if someone clicks on a dog at the top
radium: i made it so if you remove the slur the code crashes
lowtax: thats great can i get an eta on the dog crash
radium: no
radium: i made the cats crash too but i'm fixing it by september. not sure which
lowtax: thank you radium have a good easter
radium: no

also the people coming in to try to snipe at spr over past stuff not succeeding makes me happy. not because spr deserves defense, but because the incredibly weak little slaps still aren't being humored. they're like morrowind characters with empty fatigue bars trying to bunnyhop in and pass hard checks

If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.
I'd have been fine with just a ban if she was buying AVs and not blaming anyone else. But trying to dump someone else in the poo poo (regardless of what you think of them as a poster) is loving scummy.

There's also no way she would have copped to it if she hadn't been caught.

I would love to hear the tale of how the code became the way it is, because that is one of the unsolvable mysteries of our age, and any elaboration on the matter could only serve to deepen the mystery.

Not sure "why would someone ghost lowtax" is much of a puzzle, though.
