We don't need Rome telling us what to do.
the forums breaking surely must be from the transfer of ownership

when the forums transfer is complete they will collapse, due to load bearing radium code that only works if richard is in the name of the site owner

16 bit? Back when we was kids we only got a single bit on Christmas, as a treat
And we had to share it!
Lowtax spent the last decade burning all the social capital he built up in the 2000's and when he was faced with a "straw breaking the camel's back" situation that people can point to as being truly egregious he tries to rules lawyer himself in of the court of public opinion.

I'm just thinking about how RMS also took his golden situation for granted, but one day he was lazily dicking around on a mailing list and said something really dumb that made everyone sit up and take notice.
"Hurf blurf this is a horrible misunderstanding!" but if you ask, "Dude, what are you really doing here?" nah, he's out.

i remember momentarily thinking back in december or january, or whenever his previous dramabomb dropped, "lol, man that guy certainly knows how to pick 'em", then "you know, if the one constant in this two decade long string of horrible failed relationships is lowtax, maybe he's just an rear end in a top hat"

You want lowtax to finally sell the forums because then that is all obstacles removed from potentially getting to watch a genuine attempt to move the forums to Xenforo or some bespoke thing, and how bad that'll be

i really thought the site was done for cause it seems like every six to twelve months lowtax reappears with a story about how he's broke, the site is broke, and he was just shot 25 times for minding his own business and we have to bail him our again and it really seemed like people were over it this time

yeah ive been giving him the benefit of the doubt for ages, and earlier this year read something that was written from a pro-richard point of view about how some woman stole his money and kidnapped his kids

i doubt thats true but I also doubt many people have decent insight into who really shat on who and its probably like its a "everyone sucks here" situation

regardless

i somehow remember integral but have no memory of having heard of any part of lowtax drama before this last debacle. i am unsure whether it is because i actually heard about none of it, or because it was all uninteresting enough that i've fully forgotten it.

there was a vibe when I got here that there was a "cool crew" of mods and admins and fyad and people who everyone knew.

whats the impression of yospos from outside yospos? usually the only people vocal about that kind of thing are individuals that have been burned rather than people who didnt quite fit in and go back to reddit.com and post "yospos is a bunch of middle aged tech losers with good incomes and they need new jokes"

fyad seems weirdly rankled by us, so we're probably doing something right, otherwise that reddit poster is about right

"watched some people who call themselves friends hang out at the bar and drink. they looked like they were having a good time, but I sat there by myself evasdropping and I tell you what.. those guys talk some poo poo for real. now I asked them if they were having a good time and they all said yeah they're having a great time, fuckin good night etc, but idk.. no way they could be having a more fun night than me. I did some sudoku. I live an intelligence existence. those guys suck. I hate them and they're not having fun"
