It's actually deeply hilarious how much more functional and user friendly BR is as a forum. It's like going from a 1998 Kia Sorento covered in grease stains to a 2020 Acura.

but im used to how the sorento handles. the rear end groove in the seat is just right. and those are my cigarette burns in the upholstery dammit

My main complaint about BNR is that the color scheme hurts my eyes, too contrasting, does it have a switch to a different color scheme that isn’t based in black?

the best scheme i found was the dark deprecated. give that a shot? amoled was tough on my eyes.

i was confused on how bookmarks work. if you want to go to post last read, just click the thread title, theres no little button showing how many posts have been up since.

im guessing with the huge influx of new people registering, bnr is probably getting a lot of refugees who don't know or care about bnr's leftist origins. people are probably just hearing it's the next best option for offsite, and just going ahead and registering

at this point he might be concerned about his physical safety if he were to just take his ball and go home given SA's history with weird murder guys in the past. i think i would be if i ran the site and it was shutting down, even if the reason wasn't that evidence points towards being a huge piece of poo poo

i dunno if lowtax would be worried about it. but now that you say it like that, i agree that if i had the keys to the self destruct panel, i'd worry too. lowtax can't be the only goon who's identity is wrapped up in SA.

I can't recall which thread, but someone said Jeffrey of yospos was open to trying to buy it from lowtax. I can't verify that.

The one good thing about giving an abuser the money to go away is that the community doesn't fracture. I think it's up to the community if the juice is worth the squeeze on that one.

Part of me wants to crack on you for this, but I also kinda dig it.

Who do you send fancy goon correspondence to? You should send Lowtax a notarized offer to a gentleman's contest, the prize being complete ownership of the forums and all possessions and chattels therein.

The original plan was to practice my calligraphy for the fountain pen thread, and seal fancy envelopes with it for posting there. Then, I realized that my calligraphy is bad, and I am lazy, so that never happened. Now, I’m thinking about sealing letters with Dickbutt and the spine for sending to people in the goon snail mail thread. The main problem there is that I didn’t want anyone to know where they were coming from, and I sort of just sank that ship.

Well, you know what, I've come around completely. Those are cool, and thanks for sharing.

it's strange to think about the end of sa. even weirder to think about how there's going to be no send off, no fanfare. not that this place qualifies for a celebration necessarily. but maybe something better than the inevitable, which is fewer posters logging on until one day they go to logon and the forums are just gone without an epitaph or anything.

I presume if you were in his shoes you'd also be a multimillionaire because either you'd have had the sense to sell while it was still boppin', or kept the site and not mismanaged it to the point where it's the internet equivalent of a North Korean old folks home & halfway house combo.

What I'm saying is, boy no-brained, do no-brain things.

someone mentioned purchase offers during the height of SA's relevance. was there ever any evidence of solid offers with real numbers? i just can't imagine someone offering more than low six figures for this place, even in the mid to late aughts.

Any offer in ~2007 would have had 7 zeroes most likely. Now the $150k jase1 has offered is probably the best lowtax could get. I hope he sells, because no way he gives up control without it and the place will just die otherwise.

i saw someone say in another thread that jase1 made an offer, but i didn't know if it was a joke comment. 150k to me sounds like a generous offer for the shambling corpse of SA. i don't know anything about jase1. is he a poker goon that made it big? did he make his money on orange juice futures? not that it matters to me either way. i was thinking everyone who gave a poo poo would pitch in what they could to make lowtax an offer, but i figured that would end up like 50k tops.

i don't know the story here, but why the gently caress would you talk like this instead of giving a normal answer?

I'm inclined to give the folks at bnr a pass for now as they're dealing with a tough transition. I do think that question should be answered though.

if I were conspiracy minded if think it odd that the staff of an off-site that's grown massively prior to this is getting slandered all the sudden and banned when they point it out

Even more so when there's a solid chance said slanderers are building their own off-site, but hey I'm not conspiracy minded. After all its not like the people directly complacent with abusive behavior would ever make themselves look like the only reasonable option right?

if there's other goons bashing bnr to get goons to come to their goofy poo poo, lol. it seems like bnr would take the goons you wouldn't want on your offsite anyways
