Feels weird tbh, I always thought he was a bit of a forums bully, but I thought this place was so cool for so long when I was a kid.

I remember seeing some rifftrax movie and being so excited to see the short he did with his kid.

Remembering him coming back mid last year and posting like 300 times in one night just spilling his pocket spaghetti all over the forums, though, ayy lmao.

Goondolences to his family.

The reason I know Lowtax died is because way way more people on like six or seven other websites are apparently secret goons or ex-goons than I thought.

They heard the call, and they answered. It was fun seeing all the people crawl out of the woodwork in almost every other forum/subreddit/discord/etc I'm on.

And then be genuinely happy for those that made it through relatively okay, and admire the ones who really made it.

I don't feel like it's in decline right now.

The forums have been a place of respite for me since just before covid. I posted here and there, but came back around Christmas 2019 to find a lot of good people who wanted good discussion, in a time when I needed an escape since I was losing people left and right.

These last two years are the most I've ever posted, I've largely lurked, and while it doesn't have the storied nostalgia of old threads and old drama, I really, really appreciate the people that make up this forum today.

Drew did a twitch stream but I haven't looked for/through the VOD.

Moot has been notoriously quiet since he left 4chan, and actually left google earlier this year. 4chan itself put up a banner calling him "our dad who disowned us", which is... uh... yeah, okay.
