Never forget that Lowtax is responsible for the January 6th storming of the Capitol.

If he wanted cookies he shoulda learned to make some instead of spending a poo poo ton of money to have them delivered.

Ask me about my STD collection!
I took a pretty long hiatus from Something Awful for no particular reason. One of the last things I remember was Doomhouse, and you guys also had a porn forum. I think I just forgot about it for quite a few years and then I got banned from reddit and remembered this place.

Then I catch smatterings of commentary on Lowtax and everyone hates him now for what I think might be relationship abuse issues and it was only like three days ago when I finally realized he committed suicide.

What a twist!

He was last spotted swabbing Burt's poop deck as they were trying to sail their way out of the eternal lake of fire.

How much do I cum? The answer might surprise you!

Can't hate him, well I guess you can but I don't, don't really respect him much either especially after it all went to poo poo lol. He was seriously messed up in the last part of his life. I watched one of his gaming garbage eps, as long as I could stand to watch it any ways, and he was a medicated drunken mess, he did say hi though. RIPiss, eating goldbelly and drifting your gtr in purgatory.

Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.
he named himself after a politician who hated taxes and shot his political opponent in the head, and then he himself got in trouble for tax avoision and then also shot the person most responsible for his high taxes in the head
makes u think

hm beginning to regret naming myself after "the lonely pokemon" lol

Confession: I enjoyed his gaming videos with Shmorky at the time. I thought the stuff he did with his daughter was very cute, she could crack a good joke.

We have 39 posts to talk about the guy before we're never allowed to utter his name again, we don't have time for this "Oh I don't know if I should post this or not". Pull yourself together, man.

I feel like some people have outsized impact on culture just due to luck. A bunch of what made SA SA was following in Lowtax's footsteps, since he was the role model for this place in a lot of ways, especially in its early days. So some of his opinions got baked into the culture of this place, for no better reason than that he had those opinions.

Buncha people could have had a lot less aggression in their lives if the owner of this comedy forum hadn't been such an aggressive person.

Kinda sad really

It took a lot of work with good people to lose the edgelord-ness I picked up from here and other early internet zones. Nothing is sacred, but maybe I don't have to poke at everyone and everything to see what happens. Maybe I can moderate my language to not other anyone. Maybe I can be.. Nice?

I can't blame Lowtax for all of that, and he/we did often use our powers for good, but lord were we rough. Then Lowtax somehow just got worse.

I feel like making Lowtax the center of blame of all the internet edgelord poo poo we all did 20+ years ago is a really easy way to absolve ourselves of blame for poo poo we've done and caused as people over the years, and he made it easy by being a hateful figure that blew his brains out.

Call me crazy.

gosh, I hope I didn't give the impression I thought he was the source of, or the sole reason for, my (our?) terrible behaviour. I didn't mean to.

Leaders do have an effect though, and he did lead this forum.

Don’t forget Burt was forgiven by dying of cancer while Lowtax wasn’t forgiven by killing himself. Forums public opinion follows the biblical line.
