We talked through xbox sometimes. This was right around the domestic abuse allegations came out. He was saying how everyone turned on him and he was super bitter about that. He genuinely believed that being acquitted meant he was not guilty of anything.

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.

I guess one of the pirates who used to be one of the Lost Boys but then Peter kicked him out because he REALLY liked sharing naked pics of Rufio or something?

Or maybe he'd be Captain Hook... 'cause, y'know, he was the leader of 4chan and all. But Captain Hook was never a Lost Boy and moot did the face-heel turn character arc

is it good? what’s the best way to get into mangosteen these days?

They call it the Queen of Fruits (durian is called the king) and it is really tasty. Sort of like a cross between a strawberry and a mandarin orange.

I don't know why anyone would try to make juice out of one, though. It's not wet enough. It'd be like juicing a banana.

Lowtax has actually been dead since 9/11, he was the one who did it and everything after that was a shared delusion.

Yeah especially since it's not even accurate. If he was rich he wouldn't have been begging for money all the time.

Between this thread and Whangs recent video about bigpeeler and the ostrich it got me thinking about browsing the front page 20 years ago. Out of curiosity I googled "Cranky Steve's Haunted Whorehouse". It actually provided a link. None of the pictures are still there.

The front page is like car park full of abandoned storage containers. So much long forgotten and neglected stuff, much of it broken or missing essential parts.

I think this is the most surprising thing:



Why did SA ever link to CNN? Look at the rest of those links. One of these things is not like the other.

I think it was either there as a joke, or perhaps being the early 00's people still didn't think about getting their news online and it was linked so you could see the news and discuss it on the forums?
