I changed my mind. Let's keep lowtax alive until his whole body is made of discs

Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.

I would give Lowtax a good $1000 if I had income right now. This site is the only one I know well.

Bold Robot: Jan 6, 2009; Be brave.

Which gets more money directly to SA/Lowtax, the SA donate link or the patreon? Assuming the former?

If I can donate to a dead gay medium like public radio I can donate to a dead gay forum.

Not even joking. If I was done with my DH program and had a job and all my finances taken care of, I'd not hesitate to give Mr. Tax a good thousand bucks.

I just donated $10 for every year I�ve been on this dumb site. That was the bare minimum I felt comfortable contributing. I could�ve given more. But I didn�t.

I have absolutely no idea how you rack up 3400 a month on sa.

This site is static content, serves zero av and really only serves avatars for images.

How

I think he's mentioned before that since the forums are so ancient and modified they can't take advantage of more recent server optimizations without gutting the forums amd rewriting everything from the ground up, so the site uses way more servers than it needs to in order to function inefficiently.

You get more loving entertainment out of these forums than you do from watching netflix, admit it, now pony up some cash and make a broken boy's spine's dreams come true!!

I wouldn't say it's better than Netflix... I also get probated at least once a week; but that's probably my fault.

I'll buy something from Lowtax. Maybe a new, saltier AV.

It's literally serving static text content.

Sirotan: Oct 17, 2006; Sirotan is a seal.

Is there a chain of custody if Lowtax dies? Are the forums inherited by his kids or Fragmaster or something?

Donated because I friggin love these dead gay comedy forums and don't know how I'd waste time at work without them. Maybe I will buy some avatars for people I hate later today too.

edit: oh boy, I got a thing
