It was very popular to hate on Uwe Boll's terrible cash-in video game movie adaptations for awhile and Lowtax wrote some lovely articles about them so Uwe Boll (who was an amateur boxer) as a PR stunt offered to fight his "biggest critics" or whatever and Lowtax thought it was a big goof until he got punched in the head a lot.

The best thing about that entire affair was a Cracked-writer who also made fun of Uwe Boll being all-in on fighting him, but then Uwe Boll chickened out when he learned that guy was an accomplished kickboxer

But when looking at Lowtax, Uwe Boll apparently decided "yeah, I can take this guy" and history was made :allears:

Goons if I could ask you to read an effort post I'd like to suggest what I feel is one of the best things we could do in this situation.

First off I would like to humbly request that we hold off on the discussion where to assign blame for this communities enabling of Lowtax's abuse for the moment- it's an important discussion to have, but I don't feel this exact moment is the best time to have it because there are more pressing issues to address that should come first. The one thing comment I have on the matter is: irrespective of individual levels of guilt that can be rationally (or irrationally) assigned to various members of this community; the fact of the matter is that the community (as a whole) bears a very significant level of responsibility for enabling Lowtax's abuse. We cannot wash this stain or undo what has been done, but what we can do is (as a community) focus first and foremost on helping Logan get into a better and safer space.

I think when you view Logan's video and her recent actions it's important to keep in mind what exactly the context is and how astonishingly difficult it is for an individual in her situation to psychologically overcome the conditioning they have experienced and recognize that they are an abuse victim. At this point in her life Logan's entire self-identity, professional career, and source of revenue, are all tied up in Lowtax via this website. This is a very common situation for abuse victims to be placed in by their abusers and one of the reasons why it is often so hard for abuse victims to recognize the situation and extract themselves from it- so let's do what we can to make that (impossibly difficult) internal journey easier for Logan.

Logan, sweetie, if you happen to read this I want you to know that you are a worthy human being who deserves love and compassion. Yes, even being an alcoholic bipolar mess in a terrible situation- you are still worthy of love and compassion. Your safety, and your future happiness, are more important than this community. So your level of responsibility for the current situation doesn't matter, what matters is getting you out of this situation and into a safe one where you have the time and resources you need to focus on your recovery.

To that end goons I would like to propose that we open a GoFundMe of some sort to support Logan, get her away from Lowtax and help her afford the help she is going to need to restart/rebuild her life after this. I would also like to suggest that we open a simular GoFundMe for Lowtax's other victims, and in particular his children, who are definitely going to need support in the coming months/years.

In my view these are the least we can do to acknowledge that no matter which individuals Among Us shoulder the blame, we as a community have a clear-cut responsibility to do whatever we can to help Lowtax's victims recover from the abuse that our community has enabled.

Second this and also second that the victims should set up the GoFundMes themselves but how will the victims know that the forum members want to help? How will they know that SA goons will actually send them money? More importantly if the victims set up donation funds for themselves how are we going to know?

1) make gofundme that is verifiably connected to the person (eg the person or their friends and family link it)

2) mods put it in an announcement or something

Classon Ave. Robot: Oct 7, 2019; by Athanatos

I really don't see any reason to believe that he's not going to sell the site. He knows that if he calls off the deal then all the mods and admins leave and he has to do a shitload of work trying to figure out how to run this place with only a small fraction of the userbase remaining and not having actually done anything here for like half a decade at least. He may be stupid and crazy but he's not stupid and crazy enough that he's not just going to take the payout from Jeffery and leave.

# ? Jul 31, 2020 01:05

His Patreon has dropped to $728 a month so my guess is that he'll really want the easy money from Jeffery if only to help handle winding down whatever he has going on that used to rely on making six figures a year.

He reopened FYAD just to be an rear end in a top hat, if he wants to sell he's either sabotaging his own attempts or is gloating because he knows Jeff will buy anyway.

AFAIK, The process of selling the site to Jeffrey is still ongoing. It's a real-deal actual business sale with lawyers and contracts and due diligence and stuff involved, so it's been taking a while and will probably take a while longer.

Until that process is completed, Lowtax continues to own the site, profit from the store income, and retains the power to do whatever he wants here.

The old announcement got unpined, which happens after a certain amount of time, which made some people nervous. Someone just had to bug Jeffrey to remind him of this fact so he posted a new announcement this morning.

Yeah, announcements automatically unsticky after a while. The duration of an announcement can probably be customized and I'm guessing Jeffrey just wasn't bothering up till now.

The same thing can be done with stickies, incidentally. When a mod stickies a thread, they can also set a length of time for it to be stickied. I usually set it to "indefinite" though because it's not like it's a big deal to come back and unsticky it later.

Would be a disaster if the deal falls trough. I will continue to use the site until the loss of users make it a dull place with little posting action. (Which would not take long if the deal was officially cancelled). I have no interest in any substitutions so that will the end my association with SA and it`s culture.

Even by 2020 this site was still making almost 100k in profit a year. And that was with an owner who didn't give a poo poo about it and had almost zero involvement in day to day business. Even if it hurts to hear it, but this dad gay forum is probably a multi million dollar business.
