PM me the discord link please. Need more CE and more importantly the picture threads.

It's probably worth pointing out that the discord is not just another version of GIP. You're not going to see a channel equivalent to all the threads here. It pretty much started as a place for a handful of us to do voice chat in video games, and as an offshoot of the Get Help thread to avoid people posting too much private info in public, and has expanded a bit to like 20 regulars.

Imagine how horrible the CE thread would be in a discord format, jesus.
Edit: There is a dog/pet channel though.

Read the first post in this stickied thread from GBS:

Then read the last post in the stickied thread here in GIP for the latest update.

In short:
Lowtax has beaten all three of his three former wifes.
He is a domestic abuser, mistreats his daughters, is using the money he's getting on poo poo very much not his spine, and he is of course 3 for 3 of saying "chucks, I just can't not marry only totally lying psychopathic mentally disturbed women who lie and who are mean to meee! Also my 12 year old daughter is also an obviously mean horrible to poor me, Richard 'the Lowtax' Kyanka, which I told her in a text message when she criticised me for cheating on her mom".


E. Also the 3rd SO was attacked on Monday/Tuesday night and it's now Thursday.
We're burning down either the forums or Lowtax.

I, Jeffrey of YOSPOS, have reached an agreement with Lowtax to transfer all Something Awful LLC assets to me. No contract has been signed yet but these things take time and I want to make this announcement now. Obviously, if this falls through, you all will hear it straight from me.

Lowtax asked me to make clear that this is not an admission of any guilt. He maintains his innocence. However, he recognizes that the site cannot continue with him in charge, and the community and site are more important than his name.

This has been one of the most stressful and sad ~72 hours of my forums life and I'm sure everyone has a million questions and I'll plan on discussing this with the community tonight, after taking a few hours to catch my breath. Please don't burn down the whole site yet - we can get through this as a community.

This site has been extremely important to me since I joined 15 years ago. I love this place more than anything and, and top of everything else, the idea of it just going away was heartbreaking to me. My promise to all of you is that I love something awful as something awful, and my intention is to preserve all of the things that make this site incredible. This will be something awful, at its best, not any sort of weird vision of what something awful should be.

I've been lurking and posting (mostly lurking) here ever since GiP was just a big ongoing thread in Ask/Tell. It helped me avoid making the stupid decision to join the Army when we were smack in the middle of 2 wars, so thank you proto-GiP (I stupidly joined another branch instead but at least I'm in one piece). 2020's in the process of killing one of my other forum communities, and I'd hate to lose this one (gently caress this year). A discord link would be nice as a backup if things don't work out

DISCORD UPDATE

Woofer, could you please add this to the OP?

This may no longer be as pressing as the forums appear to be saved. However, we've decided to limit invitations to the discord to GIP regulars (defined as people who actively engage with the community outside of the Current Events thread). This is due to a few reasons:

Firstly, we have received a large number of requests and even with this limitation it has been difficult to adjust (we're used to a person joining every month or two). Secondly, the discord operates quite a bit differently than GIP and we don't believe it is the right space for people who are looking for an alternate to the Current Events thread. For context, it is a much smaller, tight-knit community whose basis is the "Get Help" and service threads. Thirdly, the discord isn't really a place to lurk - relatively personal conversations are being shared in (semi) private and if you aren't active there is little to no point in being there.

Finally, we want the discord to continue to (primarily) be a space & resource for veterans. On this point, if you are a veteran but have not received an invite please PM me, Godholio, or UP THE BUM NO BABY and we will reach out to you. You can email 69abuhajaar69@gmail.com if you don't have PMs. Please do the same if you are a GIP regular and we haven't sent you an invite yet.

We hope you all understand our reasons for this decision and encourage you to seek out the other discords that are popping up on the forums!

I enjoy lurking this forum because seeing and reading a leftist mil forum is good for my mental health.

all I ask is that if this place goes down in flames someone hit my discord up with whatever platform we migrate too (if the forum fragments into different platforms, I've joined a few other goon discords)

I'm totally fine with not getting an invite now, we seem to be returning to better-than-normal. If the worst case scenario still happens I think I know a few of you in other discords anyway.

I completely understand that this forum is almost like two different subforums now, with the branches and vethelp threads vs. the CE and game threads.

Nobody took it like that, as far as I've seen in the mod discussions. But I think a lot of people were expecting one thing (something to replace the CE thread) which it's really just a very different thing altogether.
