people are waiting to see if the forums as they are can be wrested away from Lowtax, otherwise there will probably be a large exodus and the best thing would be to go wherever the good admins/mods go and try and bring as many subforums there too instead of every subforum getting 5 discords and 2 webforums with 16 users each

yeah hopefully this happens

ive shat on every time people thought lowtax was doomed and i’ve been right every time. this is probably the big one though. i hope that SA is taken over in an orderly fashion, or an organized, centralized new forum is created instead of each subforum creating tiny niche off-sites

yeah tbh instead of trying to reason w/ lowtax its probably better to already start working on the alternative.


lol this is really the end huh

It's pretty cool to release an announcement to say nothing. Well, I suppose confirming Logan got/is getting out is something big as not everyone will have seen that. Still. It almost feels like admins & mods just like secrecy for secrecy's sake.

ill translate the annoucement: we need you to update your email because its likely any neoSA successor site will be sent to you there

that account claimed lowtax registered as "redacted" on a website called scarboil

which just reading redacted's post history is a very bad place

the account is from 2019, which seems like a contradiction.

in conclusion gently caress lowtax, gently caress that guy if he isn't lowtax, gently caress scarboil

ah isnt that some skullmund thing. skullmund is weird nazi gbs poo poo i think.

I feel like there's some value for posterity's sake in keeping the actual, physical, SomethingAwful forums around. It's one of the oldest still (relatively) highly active communities on the internet and for it to disappear because the owner is a piece of poo poo and not because it simply withered away is a shame.

its also lowtax's only source of income and unfortunately he owns it and id guess isnt going to sell it

he doesn't care about the forums, he cares about the $$$ and dumb e-fame being the owner of the forums. it sounds like he might have cared back in SA's bad old days when he was active and we hadn't pushed out the blatantly 4chan/8kun types.

the forums grew despite him and now the forums are going to spite him

lowtax would not post in the mod forum for 3 to 4 years at a time. his only post for years right before i quit was a very weird thread where he apologized for not being active and a few sentences in turned the post into complaining about kicking his daughter out of his house for saying something nice about his exwife. he has not actually worked in probably a decade.

Look, I can't give you the answer you want.

Personally, realistically, until the deal is actually signed and vetted by a lawyer and poo poo and Lowtax is legitimately gone, I know there's a good chance it fucks up. I have set my expectations as such.

But if you still have reservations or Jeffrey taking over from Lowtax isn't good enough for you, I'm not going to be able to convince you otherwise. Listen to your instincts and act accordingly.

lk people are mad because they wanted to watch the whole house go up in flames but the firemen showed up and ruined all the fun. dont worry about it.
