Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95!

Zach announced on Facebook that he left Somethingawful in early 2020, I think just before covid hit, which is either great or terrible foresight. I'm sure he wouldn't have wanted it but I feel like he would have been a logical choice to take over after Lowtax as the last of the most prominent and outward-facing big names.

It seems like he's still occasionally active on Twitter but I don't know if he's actually up to anything on the internet. I do wish he would publish more fiction eventually. Liminal States was very good.

If absolutely no effort is ever going to be put into making it a functioning site again, then just make the homepage jump straight to the forums homepage.

Seriously. I know "dead forums" is a bit here but it was a bit shocking to hear on two different fairly big podcasts recently the hosts state as a matter of fact that SA died with Lowtax.

I'm not an expert on web design but I don't think having somethingawful.com lead directly to the forums is probably good for attracting new members or making people think the website is doing well.
