I didn't mean it that way. Sorry if I offended. I should be more sensitive.

Yeah that's what I took it as too. Lowtax really messed her up. Master manipulator.

presumably that is contingent on lowtax still being a part of the forum, yes? I assume that's what most modmins are doing, honestly, that's what they seem to be saying.

consider this my resignation letter as mall cop if lowtax doesn't gently caress off lmao

I think it will be a moot point soon

so far both QueenOfEverything and T-man went into ADTRW to advertise BnR and just ended up being annoying assholes, if you can't talk to people without being a weird dipshit then please loving stop talking to people

Truga posted:

so i get that this forum soon won't exist and people are trying to make folks join bnr while they still can but, uh, giving lowtax more cash by buying transphobic avatars about it isn't how you do that lmfao

the avatar someone slapped onto Bees is disgusting, i hope it's not someone from here because cspam has always been good about trans people from what i've seen but also i've seen plenty of "leftist" dipshits on places like the stupidpol reddit who would 100% do something like that

plus Cuntellectual said that QoW outed them as trans?

what the gently caress, i hope this isn't the kind of poo poo that's going to be prevalent on bnr

Y'all SA is like my best source of information and socialization because I'm a homebody, depressed, and aggressively antisocial. It's devastating that the forum looks like it might shatter but jesus gently caress lowtax, burn it all down.

I just donated $200 to RAINN, which matches more or less what I spent on SA over the years.

still doesn't make up for the fact that I, along with every other goon, was complicit in enabling this

It's not. A few people seem to have weird ideas about the site but if you just go over there and post you will see it's a perfectly normal forum filled with mostly ex c-spammers that has an extremely similar culture but hopefully without some of the more toxic elements.

Try not to panic, everyone. Just do your best to stay in contact with the body of posters you like. Join discords, offsites. PM your posting pals. There are many links being posted in various subforums. As long as the community is more or less in coherent and complete pieces we will figure out a way to move forward. Try to be patient, it may not happen overnight. SA is more than lowtax, and more than the ramshackle code we are using right now. Don’t worry, we will work it out somehow.

i do not have PMs but would like to join a disc. I joined xyz and am going to sign up for bnr tomorrow. I trust that water will pool and a place or two will become central hubs if the worst comes to pass, but it will come with a lot of lost faces and that's sad. I hope everyone finds a place they feel sad and happy, and don't feel bad if you feel some sorrow at the possible loss of a place you posted for like 10-20 years. Lots of people grew up parallel to this dumb site, learned a lot here, and so on. Plus a lot of loving hilarious stuff happened that, talked about outside SA, just loses some of the zazz.

I really like BnR but I also really like SA in general despite its toxic shadows, maybe its rose-tinted glasses but it's like if your house burns down and you rebuild it and maybe some of the walls are the wrong lengths and the paint isn't quite the right shade and the floor isn't squeaky anymore, it just doesn't feel right in a way that is hard to convey. An SA account is literally the first thing I ever spent money on over the internet and I never really thought about what it would be like if it stopped existing.
