Radium gets a massive amount of poo poo however at the end of the day he built the forums that people still pay money to post on because it has the best look and feel on the internet, thanks in large part to him. Parts may be hacked and duct taped together but it has no real effect on the users.

The search is poo poo, but it turns out that's not a feature people really care about on a poo poo talking humor forum.

people are definitely paying ten dollarinos for sa because of the crisp, buttery smooth performance of radium's work

like if you look at other forum's theyr full of people saying cya later, i only post on bespoke radiums

just get a radium, is the common advice for forum visionaries who want to attract all the best posters

its clear that we all agree a brand new language will be required to code something as forward-thinking and revolutionary as this forums upgrade

before we get started i'de like to open the floor to discussion about what kind of license we'll be releasing the compiler and native programming environment under

once the internet hears that a hallowed institution like sa needs a new backbone im certain that all kinds of skilled console cowboys will be dying to show lowtax their pseudocode

A huge part of SA's appeal over the last decade over, say, Reddit or Twitter, has been that this is the place where bigots and harassers don't get to run wild and shout down marginalised folk, and Lowtax showing that he instinctively sides with them over his website's actual userbase sucks
