Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

I wonder what it was that made Lowtax stop caring. That university speech really came from a meaningful place in his heart. I dunno if the doc covers this I'm probably not gonna watch the whole thing and the nostalgia part is almost over

sure okay

It did. Also, I didn't realize Mega64 had a big start here. I knew most of the other things.. Overall I thought it was well made and worth posting. Could have had more but it was more details than I expected for a youtube doc.

Haven't watched the doc yet, but IMO you're right. Lowtax was vocally annoyed that the forums were the successful part of SA, even after he'd stepped away from the day to day stuff.

Then he had to talk to the loving Secret Service because some proto-channers (wait, when did LF get shut down?) IIRC were trying to crowdsource assassinating a president.

As an insane-long-time-lurker, IMO if there were truly an BC/AD moment with SA, especially w/r/t the forums, it was when LF was shut down.

No they name Schmorky and they do it with this dramatic pause as though it's a shocking reveal. Like anyone outside this community or the diaper furry fetish community would have any clue who that is. It's not a good documentary and some of the things the narrator says are just weird.

Like when discussing Richard's first marriage he describes this perfectly average relationship timing as "progressing at an alarming rate".

I think he's talking about that time lowtax had a looping gif on gaming garbage of dogs boning with the dog on top barfing.

Confused by the eulogy bit at 40:46

"He tirelessly worked to support a community he truly cared for."

Does this include the previous 40 minutes of the documentary explaining how he intentionally neglected and mismanaged the forums?

I think it was the forums outgrowing him and his sense of humor. Lowtax was always epic monkeycheese style humor and I think he never got over the fact that people stopped finding him funny. He never posted much and I got the sense he didn't read or lurk either. It was just something he kept going for money

granted I've only lurked since 2005 or so, maybe it was different earlier

I'm honestly surprised this wasn't a Justin Whang video but then again the saga of Lowtax is probably a bit too depressing for his style of videos.

They bought a bunch of SA merch and it never showed up and when they emailed him to complain he sent back pictures of himself eating premium sausages

99 through 01 Lowtax was heavily, heavily engaged with the forums. I think he was the only mod, and he was also doing some of the back end server poo poo, or at least trying to. It felt like Lowtax was still involved in the day to day up to 03 maybe, but thats also when the forums got so loving big that it was almost impossible to read everything.

Also re: epic monkeycheese - yeah that was 100% his humor, and I think he was always upset when forum superstars did it better.

Lol I still can't believe he blew his loving head off to get out of child support. Didn't even OD like a proper pillhead but made a big mess for someone else to clean up. What a fitting end, really

Okay so imagine how a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fanfic written by a huge Monty Python fan would read and you've basically got it.
