Is no one remembering the thread where fragmaster announced his death? I feel like that was kind of a memorial thread but it got real weird when one of his diehard friends showed up and talked about eating cum or something? I know it involved cum. Anyway I have no clue how to search for it

It's in the goldmine and I'm linking it here.

It wasn't a diehard friend that showed up either. From what I remembered (not gonna re-read that thread) It was a trans person who Lowtax had paid for some naked pics, including the eating cum part. Or so was the claim.

That thread got derailed by many other things, including a frozen dead goldfish pet who was later buried in its own thread. Never change goons.

I had forgotten lady Ambien actually posted in that thread and it was heart breaking. It's copied into the op. I hope she felt better getting things off her chest here.

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread

I searched long and hard, but could not find a post icon for Mangosteen.
That said, I put zero effort into searching for a memorial thread. As Rich would have appreciated. And promptly ~almost~ banned me for before shouting something about PHP via chat.

Is there any sort of ongoing memorial for that fucker? He was a complicated man, but there are parts of him I miss and would like to pay some respects.

If you knew him maybe you'd like this pic I drew
Never showed it to him, when I made it I didn't know he hit women

honestly, the fact he was so lonely he was messaging random goons as just a Thing He Does, and that this thread is just full of stories of him just messaging people randomly a few times and very little further contact, it's a fitting but very sad memorial for the fact that he seemed to have no real, genuine human connections. just oof. yikesaroo, indeed.

lowtax going down the list of SA accounts and messaging the ones with the gender set to female

I was basically saying this thread reads as pathetic with the 'memories' posted and that's fitting bc so was Lowtax

I feel like in an other timeline perhaps Lowtax could have responded to yikesaroo with “holy poo poo, you guys are right, I am a piece of poo poo and I have hit rock bottom. I am going to work on this” and worked towards some form of a redemption arc. But he didn’t, he doubled down, and I feel like his decision to do that led to his demise.

I'm not gonna lie. At the turn of the century when I was young, I thought Lowtax was one of the funniest people in the world. Those early front page articles were amazing, and I used to read them religiously. It's also fair to say that he's probably one of the most influential people in shaping the Internet, considering how influential this place used to be. And poo poo, how unique the place is even today. For all its problems I wouldn't trade it for Reddit or any of those other shitholes, and even though Lowtax was at best an absentee landlord for the last 15 years of his life, he did get the ball rolling.

Having said that, he definitely managed to nuke any good will towards him long before all the abuse and other truly reprehensible poo poo came out. And after that, none of the earlier positive stuff really mattered that much, doubly so because instead of trying to make amends and taking responsibility for the poo poo he'd done, he chose to kill himself. gently caress him.
