If memory serves, this incident is the inspiration for the spermwhale and bowl of petunias being in Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, in addition to being a setup for a very opaque joke later on.

The guy that wrote Lowtax an angry email speech in 2005 turned out to be less of a loser than Lowtax and even sounds like something of a prophet now.

So did Dare. Dare ended up having a better more successful life.

And I guess I can even say I did too. Weird. Lowtax seemed like king of the internet in 2005. He had enough influence and money to do anything he wanted. Jeffrey said he turned down a 13 million offer around this time.

Flush please
still just weird to think he's gone. At the beginning, I didn't think it'd end this way. When he was on top of the world, sitting on piles of :10bux:, the forums he created legitimately nurtured and had influence over a lot of Internet culture. But paying attention to the past few years of his life, it didn't surprise me. What a waste. He was a selfish poo poo for spawning children into the world he refused to support, and for the domestic abuse. Just sad...

Just because Lowtax owned the servers that a lot of great content got created on doesn't make him a comedic genius, though.

At best, it makes him a landlord.

Well I’m glad someone is keeping the forums lights on with constant re regs

A recurring mentally ill person re-registering over and over despite getting banned immediately is a hallmark of 2000s era SA forums, it's kind of like a tribute band

The Screamy reg also covers the base of the golden age of gimmick posters, but I wish some of the classics like GameQuoter and Adventures of Jesus would show up

He was funny at times, sure - especially with something rehearsed. That doesn't mean that he has to be forgiven for what he did later on.

If you want to practice death of the author, that's your prerogative of course - but at the very least, it seems to me to be a good idea to say that that's what you're doing?

I agree. I loved SA and would read religiously. Weirdly, I don’t think Lowtax was a good poster on the forums.

It seems like rumors of the death of the queen come about every fortnight or so - I wouldn't put too much stock into it.
