Pick posted:Like less than 24 hours ago we had a thread about burning down low taxes house because people know where he lives and got a photo of his house and what car is he drives and poo poo, lowtax sucks but valuing privacy is 100% reasonable under the circumstances This is a good point, too; it's important to remember that Lowtax is a piece of poo poo who also has children that should not suffer as a result of his immaturity and poor judgment. Well, any more than they already are, given he basically told his own daughter to go gently caress herself.

SA's value lies in it's community, more than the software it uses. If the deal goes through, have you considered putting the source on GitHub and accepting PRs to fix some of Radium's quirky decisions?

If the buyout fee that Lowtax requests ends up being very high, will you be holding a fundraiser of some sort to recoup the costs? I'm more than willing to chip in a few bux for the cause if needed.

Is there a way to make sure that after he leaves the site still costs Lowtax money? Its late at night and I don't really know how businesses work, but if you could do that it would be pretty cool.

How did Lowtax impede the functioning of the site though his absence/presence fypov and do you feel these events may end up improving forum experiences? I’ve always wondered how much he mattered.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:I kind of love that I luckily picked an undoxxable username back in 2005 and have just been a poster here and nothing else since. I do imagine my name will get out eventually but I'm not exactly excited about the prospect and will relish just being "Jeffrey of YOSPOS, guy who likes the forums" a little longer. I will tell you that my friends call me Jeff. I did not mean that post in any way that would suggest harm or malice or doxxing. It also was not ironic. It is just that Lowtax being a real person and real personality had, for many years, been a unique and somewhat often positive aspect of this community. He wasn’t just a leader in forums handle but rather an actual person front and center. That did engender quite a bit of community cohesion in the way it allowed people to relate to an actual human on the other end of the line. While over the past 20 years his actions slowly circled around to do more harm than good to his persona, and certainly now he’s completely ruined it, it did carry a lot of positive charm for many years. I know there are spinoffs of this place that doxx people and do very evil things and I can understand the reluctance to actually put yourself out there because of that. That’s awful. It sucks that the internet has become a place of malice over the years and makes it generally unsafe to put one’s real self out there anymore. But if you ever do feel comfortable enough becoming more than just a forums handle, I think it stands for a lot and would mean a lot to this particular community. We do look to our leaders, in much more than name alone. And we would embrace it.

Would you ever take on a second volunteer coder for the forums? Large, messy, bespoke codebases are a pain to learn how to work with but if it becomes difficult to be both the coder and the Janitor-in-Chief it might help ease some of your workload.

Hi Jeffrey, I wrote the following in the massive gbs thread but it got buried in the goons. Jpg flood. It's what I think you might want to consider about lowtax when entering the deal to purchase the site. quote:Whatever Jeffrey of yospos managed to get with lowtax recently as announced should just be seen as an oral agreement that is confirmed only by Jeffrey, since lowtax hasn't said a single thing (other than responding to goon taunts on FB messenger and that alt right Podcaster) at all. The priority right now should be securing a black and white, signed and executed agreement with lowtax, and that all other things like future forums features and current forums issues be a lesser concern. I think it's mentioned you are already getting a lawyer, which is good, and I hope that agreement comes up asap. Personally, I don't trust lowtax and whatever he says - especially since for this potential deal, it came from you and he has been silent about it as far as everyone knows. I think you know that since you interact with him way more. Hoping there would be a positive outcome from this. I know we are all excited about the potential future the forums hold, but when that future hasn't been secured, it's best not to speculate that far yet. Also if the Nissan GTR 2020 comes with the company you should make it a condition precedent for him to return the drat thing or buy it for himself lol.

Is there going to be any kind of evaluation of the content on the frontpage? For example, I find it pretty gross that the site still celebrates (in a wink wink, nudge nudge, isn't this gross but aren't we cool for doing it way) that SA was responsible for SWAP.avi.
