15 years of white noise posting and the occasional donation, I don't know how to feel about this. I guess I don't really regret giving him money in his grifts, maybe it gave him some fleeting pleasure to eat his Goldbelly cookies or whatever. Honestly all I wanted was to keep the forums going and maybe help a clearly unhappy and bitter man get a little better. I felt real dumb when I found out, but hey I probably would have wasted it anyway.

So long Lowtax, it's okay, I don't need my spaceship jpg anymore.

I wish his family and friends the best, and hope they can recover from him someday.

I hope lowtax is haunting his mother's house right now. She could probably use the company when everyone blocks her number and facebook.

But he'll be stuck on the floor he died on because stairs robot ghosts are waiting for him to just try and escape the basement.

Goons went to the Yorba Linda Water District office to meet Richard Korn but had to settle for a picture with his nemesis Michael Beveridge holding a sign saying �Please return to GBS�

All because a web search for Korn returned that picture. As I recall.

Which all things considered is a funny harmless goon project

my take on lowtax is that he was a conman and his influence is currently being very overstated in a lot of the eulogizing going on.

this website has been part of my life for almost two decades, and i know how influential its been both in terms of internet culture and in terms of many people's personal lives. but i think people are giving rich too much credit. almost everything that made this site what it was and drew people to come here, was the result of the labor of goons and unpaid staff members. like personally i found out about the site because of photoshop phridays, which was run by livestock. most of the other stuff that came from SA and blew up on the internet also had little to do with him, and i often got the impression he resented it

the story that jeff just told about how he turned down millions of dollars because he was "having too much fun" with the site doesn't really make a lot of sense to me. in my brief time working for the site i had very few interactions with rich, and he seemed like he just truly did not give a poo poo, that he hated the bulk of the community he had founded but was happy to take their money. im not saying jeff is lying, i'm sure rich really did tell him that, but the man lied a lot and i would take that story with many grains of salt.

It's a fun, loose-kint community. All that stuff rings true, and I feel like you know it a bit better than most of us since you once mentioned getting death threats over the theme song for a podcast.

The whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts. And it's absolutely bigger than one rear end in a top hat who created it.

I'm guessing he used the pistol that he claimed he lost in his most recent move, which was an FN Five-seven. If so, I hope he used SS195LF ammo instead of SS197SR.

Without these forums i wouldn't have met my wife of 19 years. My 15 year old son knows the story of this site. it is a weird lore. Lowtax was a fucken awful person. But he created something bigger than himself here.

Piss off.
