sportsgenius86 posted:I believe everything that woman is saying but I also feel like we’ve been around the “Lowtax is a piece of poo poo and the future of the site is unknown” block an exhausting number of times at this point so I’m just gonna post until the day the site gives a 404. Yeah this isn't exactly new information. It's not even the first time he's been outed as a domestic abuser. I made a specific decision to pull away from most of the forum after the way he treated trans posters during the FYAD drama this year. The only reason I'm still in PSP is cause I love wrestling and I love this community. As it is posting on this forum isn't giving Lowtax any money so I'm happy to stay here while we can but if people move away I'll follow.

mfcrocker posted:Honestly, I think the biggest problem at the moment is people who aggressively shout down whenever people share their concerns, followed up by people who joke and shitpost through it. We saw it a lot in the posts linked as evidence during the discussion in the #SpeakingOut thread. Perhaps we should should have a specific feedback/issues thread that's regulated against shitposting and such where people can have these discussions with the mods?

Von Linus posted:Would it be an idea for someone trustworthy to collate a list of PSP posters here who want to move? Like a google docs list that they have, so if a change comes everyone can get an email update if for example, someone decides to nuke the servers in a fit of pique? Like I post here, but not much, and I don't really know anyone. If the site goes down suddenly, how will people be informed of the new location? I mean, everyone can just jump in the Discord so that even if they don't talk they'll be notified there of any move

I know this is a selfish thing to think about and a question nobody may be able to answer but would there be an easy way of archiving content? I'm really proud of the Hulkamania PPV thread I did a few years back and I don't want that to get lost into the ether.

Jerusalem posted:Check out the Let's Play archive, I don't know if they still do it but back when I did SSLPs they had set up a handy archiver that would hunt through a thread and pull out all your specific posts including images and zip them up. Until they made the waffleimages script, the LP Archive was the only complete record I had of my own threads. You should be able to apply it to any thread on the forums, I'm pretty sure. As far as I'm aware only the people running the site can do this though? Or is there a tool there anyone can use?

DarkstarIV posted:Breaking my self imposed posting hiatus to say that those wanting a new forum will probably have to chip in to cover the costs. A license for Xenforo is $160 (+$55 a year for updates), and in order to set up a paywall, an additional $75 for that functionality (not counting the $49.95/yr update cost). So the startup cost just for the licenses would be $235 or so. That's not factoring in hosting or a custom theme, which would increase the cost. Hi Darkstar, I'm glad that you survived Charlotte's 2020 run

MJeff posted:The year is 2031. Rarity is the Scoopsgirl in Chief of the top Scoopshouse in the UK. While writing an article about how Sanada vs. Taichi IV sold out the Tokyo Dome, the Osaka Dome, Wembley Stadium and three different NFL stadiums in the US simultaneously and managed to outdo their previous 8-star trilogy in terms of workrate and storytelling, she hears a knock at her door. She goes to answer it and there's only a package. She opens the package and finds a balloon, a needle and a picture...of a man....spinning...... Please don't make me excited for things that will never happen

Maybe instead of being a piece of poo poo contrarian, you could just post to enjoy a ppv, you piece of poo poo. anything else you want to suck out of this thread?

The ideals behind BnR seem pretty decent but the site creators have always been super pushy about promoting it and it's kind of a turn-off. In fairness if we were able to get our forum for wrestling our community would probably be happy there given the general political vibes here, it's just we'd be less likely to attract new people and for those of us who post in multiple forums that might get fragmented. Like, it's good to have as a backup option if nothing else works out but I think we're better off trying to move us a whole with the rest of the site.

Lowtax has lost $60k/year in income, what a loving idiotInsertnamehere31 posted:I saw a screenshot of him posting a Facebook comment saying “ the legal system is skewed against men”. I have no idea if that was current or from one of his other domestic violence accusations though. That's from when his ex-wife took his kid to a women's refuge and he wasn't allowed to see her

But on a serious note I think it's fair to be a skeptical over everything and none of us should operate on complete blind faith. Also I know a lot of people here signed up BnR so for those of you not paying attention to other threads multiple people running the site have been outed as sex predators. One has been banned but the other is in charge of the site. I wanted to make sure people knew and apologise for my sorta recommendation of the site earlier in this thread.

El Gallinero Gros posted:Wait, why Reene and Burt Sexual? Did they cover for him or something? Back in January a bunch of goons were trying to blow the lid on Lowtax's abuse of his ex-wife including showing police statements and promoting her GoFundMe. Burt queued up bans for anyone believing the victim and Reene approved them.
