Funny computer pranks. Goon-sourced Porn videos. That picture of the dude with the big penis playing cards. Zoo fights. Rib boy. Shmorky. Pedo Mods. Zergling Minor. It all ends 9/11/2017. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egY8rUpxqcE

Why doesn't Lowtax just recreate the forums on a free message board service like any sane person would do so he doesn't have to worry about hosting costs I know a guy who insisted on hosting streaming video on his own servers for like 10 years after YouTube became a thing and I would constantly remind him that he's a retard

Seriously tho, Lowtax can't afford the hosting anymore and is phasing us out September 11th, 2017. What a strange trip it's been.

Rich kayaker closes the door on his legacy because he thought of a fat lady choking on a cheesesteak. He is a man who cares about real people struggles and he has to maybe save them

Stop telling lies OP, lowtax is swimming in all that Patreon money I'm pretty sure the forums are just a couple hundred dollars a month in bandwith and server space so there should even be some pocket money left over for cheeseburgers and four loko I guess he could always take up boxing again, that's where the real big bucks are

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

clad in a soiled straight jacket gently caress da Mods sits in a padded cell. From one way glass he is watched by a doctor and nurse. "So after all this time there has been no improvement at all doctor?" "I'm afraid not nurse Rittles. When lowtax pulled the plug on the forums the lucky ones died instantly but some...some had their minds broken they retreated into a delusional fugue state where they relive their posting memories over and over again." The nurse shuddered and crossed herself. "Forced to endlessly shitpost on a forum that exists in only in their own mind. Could you imagine?" "I don't want to nurse.I don't want to." The doctors eyes lingered on the patient for only a beat before he continued his rounds. The doctor will not sleep tonight.

Well poo poo. If that's the case then we should all get to be mods for the final week. I think with my mod power I will edit every post in the r/relationships thread to "penis."

In all honesty, though, I'm certain that members of SomethingAwful.com would happily submit any payments necessary to keep this forum open! SA has a long tradition of intelligent and seasoned discussion threads that are an invaluable component of the modern Internet realm. Mr. Lowtax, if you are struggling and cash flow is currently insufficient for site maintenance, why, just send out the word. We would be happy to send you some more money! LOVE, VITALIS
