Citing lowtax's often absenteeism from the forums, some moderators of these forums, including mcnally, attempted to legally take control of the physical server these forums are hosted in. A loyalist admin was able at to thwart the attempted coup banning the perpetrators however this currently leaves this subforum without a moderator. Due to this power vacuum and civil unrest in the current events thread and cop thread Godholio, Mare, and myself have seized power and will govern as a triumvirate until free and democratic elections can be established.

We should be getting mod powers tomorrow morning but in the meantime we have no actual authority here and thus we must ask everyone not to poo poo up the forums.

And no, we are not joking https://forums.somethingawful.com/banlist.php?userid=124121 more details will be revealed in the following days.

update: Mcnally and the others were trying to help lady ambien get control over the servers citing lowtax's mental health in court. Lowtax is on the verge of just deleting everything. If you aren't in the gip discord you might want to join because there is a non zero chance these servers might not exist in a week.

TVIV goons,

I love you loving nerds. I never originally wanted the power, but when the admins came knockin', asking who they thought would be a good choice for a new mod, the good goons of this thread held me up and said 'idk this gay bitch?', and for that I am thankful. I am thankful for all of you, and all of the dumb arguments we have about TV shows.

What happens in the coming hours is for a better community, and I know you'll see that when we're through. For those who have been contacted, you know your roles. For those who haven't, I hope that once the dust settles you see that this was the right thing to do.

In peace, may you leave this shore. In love, may you find the next. Safe passage on your travels, until our final journey to the ground. May we meet again.

FYI we're dead serious, mcnally and some others tried to have lowtax committed due to his mental health problems/lady ambien and used that as an excuse to get legal control over the forums. Get in the gip discord because uh, these servers literally might not exist in a few days

edit: mcnally was helping lady ambien get legal control over the servers

actually on reflection this can't possibly be real, because what in the world would cryptic "you know what to do" messages posted in forums accomplish, are people supposed to post their way towards seizing the means of production? And the rebel mods/admins are supposed to be... taking over the forums through extremely dubious legal action during an active pandemic? everything about this is stupid and dumb and if it is real frankly they deserved to lose.

It's super dumb, but I can't stop myself. This is just kind of how I do things.
Look, Lowtax has gone pretty far off the deep end ever since this coronavirus thing. I mean after his medical history he's pretty paranoid. It's led to him drunk posting in the mod forums apparently, so things have gone super downhill, and some people thought it was time for a change. The triumvirate will be here when you need us.
