imo Lowtax should do an IPO so we can all buy shares in Something Awful Inc. Only 20 years after the .com bubble, but better late than never my dude!

A Fancy Hat
Nov 18, 2016

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Lowtax just needs to start wearing a hat around that says "SOMETHING AWFUL DOT COM" and wear it to rallies he throws for himself. If he can get near disaster areas that would be even better. Then sell the hats for $40. That's 4 forum subscriptions, and I'll bet people would get interested and sign up anyway, so really, that's $50 you make for every hat.

And what's going on? I post for 3 weeks after lurking 10 years now Lowtax is here every day asking about what to sell, then selling poo poo like we're the Little Nickel---what were those things, model cars?

Talk me down, nothing's really going to happen, right? I haven't even gotten to the gnarly poo poo in my thread...

It's just bullshit. "Forums are closing on [date]" (also sometimes "[subforum] is closing...") is a weird gag thread that gets posted every so often.

what i'd really like to know is how someone is still paying like $4000 a month on bandwidth for what is basically a page of text with some small images considering that prices have dropped exponentially on server space in the past 15 years

i mean like, you can get fucktons of hosting these days for free already, cloud hosting in unbelievably cheap, etc

He's grandfathered into a sweet deal with AOL where he pays $1 per megabyte.
