Not to start Lowtax chat but either he just has the most terrible luck when hiring people to manage or do things for the website, or hes a delicate soul who constantly overlooks terrible human beings doing terrible things and gives them chance after chance to disappoint him.

he tends to hire people who post on the forums which means that forums updates are, technically, a Goon Project, and we know how those work out

I’m not sure how extensive the background checks Low tax runs are or how many references he requires or how in depth into their portfolio he goes but he needs to go deeper

Radium's complaint about not knowing what Lowtax wants from him, and Lowtax's complaint of never knowing what radium is doing, would probably both have been solved with an issue tracker. I assume radium would have never stood for it, though, because it would be evidence that he was 1) doing gently caress-all, and 2) doing it in the dumbest way possible.

Your redtext. Which is just a random SA History one I dropped on you like a year ago since you didn’t have an av, along with “Tubgirl Enthusiast” on EL BROMANCE, and “Mangosteen Chugger” on Snow Cone Capone.

E:I put “Lemonparty participant” on somebody but gently caress if I can remember who.

I have an av? Nobody told me!

It’s teeny, I didn’t know how to do a proper redtext when you got it.



Who is Monkeu? I’ve been seeing a lot of their reregs getting banned, but I’ve never heard of them/what they did to get perma’d. Usually when someone is a serial reregger there’s a story there.

He’s a Golden State Warriors fan who shits up the NBA threads with reregs pretty frequently.

He also gave the world “WATCH BUSH START A loving WAR”

In conclusion monkeu is a land of contrasts.

I vaguely recall there was some trainwreck goon who on top of some other drama was very insistent about how difficult it was having a dick just too gosh darn large for his girlfriend to "handle".

Was that the first dude on the forums to call his penis "girthy?" Because holy poo poo, that's still hilarious.

It’s crazy to think as a relatively new member of something awful that there was any point in our living memory when you could have identified someone as the first person to describe their penis as girthy on this forum. Genuinely unclear how many people I’ve seen say it making a reference and how many just meant it

Sorry if there's a better thread for this...is there a "request SA stuff from the past that you're looking for" thread? Should there be? I don't want to make one just for my own purposes but if it happens a lot and there isn't one maybe there should be. Anyway,

Probably about ten years ago there was a CYOA in GBS. I remember not all that much about it except that it was really good and it took place in the 80s and the images were of a CRT monitor kinda like the YOSPOS stylesheet....

does anyone know what I mean? I imagine it might be in the goldmine but I have no idea where to start looking.

Thank you! :tipshat:
