Not sure how enthused I can get about signing up to yet another forum, but I'll give it a look. That sucks about Lowtax being a piece of poo poo. I assume this has all been confirmed, of course. Don't get me wrong, obviously believe women and also it's not really surprising in the slightest, but I figure I should check out what evidence is known.

I mean the best outcome is kowtax standing down and someone else taking over the forums. It isnt like he has been involved for the past few years apart from the odd robot spine donation drive. But i doubt he'd step away like that. Deadly hume can repost the OP in the new sports subforum if SA dies.

I'm assuming this is basically Lowtax's sole source of income, and is pretty substantial, so I can't see him stepping away from that.

cmndstab posted:I'm assuming this is basically Lowtax's sole source of income, and is pretty substantial, so I can't see him stepping away from that. If Lowtax is to be believed apparently the forums run at a huge loss, seems like most of it is coming from the Patreon although goons are unsubcribing from that in a hurry and it's gone from nearly $100k/yr to $40k overnight. It'd probably make financial sense at least to sell the site for whatever he can get before everyone migrates to one of the splinter forums, although who knows if he's in the frame of mind for thinking sensibly about stuff like that at the moment.

John Kennedy has died, a few weeks after being elevated to Legend status in the afl hall of fame. His grandson plays in his 250th tonight.  https://twitter.com/sirswampthing/status/1275976547040587777?s=19 drunkill fucked around with this message at 03:38 on Jun 25, 2020 |

Because his grandfather didn't play. That is a list of 3 generations. Fletchers top the father/son table.

Signed up to the discord, will check out that website too...what an absolute shame. But hosed if I’ll support anything a domestic violence abuser is running. Though we disagree a lot this is easily my favourite place to discuss and read about footy so the thought of it continuing elsewhere sounds good to me, you’re a good bunch

Personally I can see myself making do with the GuitarGoon/AusGoon/Goonstation discords if the forums do die.

Splinter forums have tended to be run by garbage people. Just now we know the main forum is, well, owned by one too.
