someone in QCS suggested unbanning everyone who was permabanned and it's a really funny idea if probably unfeasible

they also suggested bringing back fyad so that should be a good combo and a lot of fun for everyone still here

the takeaway from BmD's post is "how could we possibly have known the last time this happened, she was an immigrant and everyone saying 'mods knew' is just a FYAD dead ender"

Still, point taken they weren't a mod. I take back 60% of the mean things I said but post was still bad.

a lot of people knew he was an abuser the last time it happened, when he cheated on his abused wife, who then ran from him with his kids, with the woman who is currently running from him

there was not a whole lot that could be done about it if you were a regular poster

LOL. Just until the end of July though. There’s no way the Republicans are going to continue to allow poors to make more money on unemployment than dying of COVID-19 slaving away at a minimum-wage job.

for the record i'm not donating a single cent to any goon project collecting money to buy the forums because i'm not a newborn turnip that just fell into the turnip truck and is still rolling down the bed towards the edge

yeah i feel like this deal is either never happening, or not happening but they'll say it did

the wild card is that he apparently owns or owned an audi a8 and a porsche 911 at least fairly recently

if he inherited some rich uncle or something, he might be fine financially and who knows, he might give up the forums

but if he's up to his cybernetic neck in debt like he says, then he needs his hundred grand a year, and he's not gonna take fifty bucks and a handshake

that reminds me id actually heard of logan day before all this broke out beause i answered the ad for front page writers she was enthusiastic about my work and said shed try and get lowtax to pay me like a normal person since my resume warrants it and i even gave her some pitches but nope got totally ghosted

apologies if this anecdote accidentally improves your opinion of lowtax for anyone who hates my posting

yeah i think logan & lowtax were pretty clear in that people would only get paid their 40 bux per front page post after an unpaid trial period of 2 months

I know this is from 20 pages ago, but how is anyone supposed to buy this when Jeffery's public actions have been so.... not this?

i think the biggest challenge for jeff, if that's true, is gonna be keeping both his trolling pals and the people they like to troll happy on the same website, which has been a cause of considerable friction lately

I posted yesterday that lowtax's only possible pivot is to right wing MRA spokesman, but I just realized he could possibly earn a living delivering really high priced cookies in his GTR... but I guess that's way more work than he's done in decades.

maybe he can hire somebody to do it for him, with a two month probationary period after which the pay starts at $40 a week (what you want $50? that's hardtimes dot net money, he can't afford that as an indie cookie delivery service who never sold out)

It actually raises an interesting question as to how he was able to do photoshop fridays and goldmines for so long because no one ever gave him the rights to use that stuff and posting it doesn't imply his ability to use it to sell ad space

people allowed him to

if anyone had told him to take their shops down, he would have had to
