Goons grow up and get responsibilities, wives and kids and a lot of goons die

We don't get much influx of new posters because kids don't know we even exist and would never pay 10 dollars when they can just go to reddit for funny memes, porn and news and the deranged grognards who would be willing to pay 10 dollars just go to 4chan instead

With this said, SA is still the best internet forums to have ever existed, but it's no mystery why we can't compete with other large communities

Ergo, it is therefore with good grace and culture that I found myself here, with the admission fee a small price for a compedium of ancient internet lore.
I think I arrived the week Gamergate took off, which I completely failed to notice until it reached national headlines.

Much like Helldump the crazies got into a feedback loop and became worse then what they were mocking. They got obsessed with reddit so much srs became reddit and became a insane click of posters.

Look at it this way: Lowtax is the disappointed alcoholic dad of the internet. Weird twitter, SRS, Lets Play, 4chan, Total Biscuit, Yahtzee, Slenderman are all people/things that where kicked off/left SA at one point only to get famous else where.

If Lowtax had managed to monetize half the things that have come out of these forums he could be filthy rich and known as an internet trendsetter.

Instead he's sitting there trying to move the forums to software that isn't 20 years old and hoping enough :10bux: roll in that he can afford his daily hooch.

Same, same.

And yet I keep on posting!

SA is like a legion hall. Dying veterans telling war stories about dial-up and how we created memes and Kids These Days. One by one we leave or perish, never to be replaced. Enjoy the ride while it lasts.

apparently r/shitredditsays was created by a former lf poster, which makes sense because they're insane and have this weird obsession with proselytizing where they're not wanted, then laughing at the unwashed behind their backs when they keep saying the wrong things. also because much of them were ex-helldump

other things created by goons that took off elsewhere without lowtax making a dime off of: Welcome to Nightvale, the awesome face. as much as i still love this site, lowtax is a horrible businessman
