why would cops investigate domestic abuse, it would take away from their valuable domestic abuse time

i maintain that the only truly unique thing with preserving is that it is a paid forum with strict moderation that got off the ground at all. anything free-for-all, or even partially free-to-post will go to poo poo.

i only learned just now that there is a bot for making discords require an sa account, and that is already closer. but the entire point would be to make it possible to put your :10bux: somewhere less abusive and have moderation work on the {forum,discord, newsgroup,...} based off of that. at that point i don't particularly care if i post on a default-config phpbb.

Given its an edgy tech forum with the majority of the posting crowd becoming adults in the 2000s, there's probably quite a few millionaires lurking and posting here.

If they're smart they'll stay millionaires and not touch this poo poo with a ten foot poll.

Yospos and SA in general is the best community on the internet imo. Shame the bar is that low, but not many communities like this would have rallied behind this poor women like you lot have.

Goons give each other a hard time but I think there’s a lot of good people here. :kiddo:

its more that nobody worth posting with is going to stick around on a forum run by a domestic abuser, especially if he comes back to try to fix his money spigot

which does mean there is some time to consider other venues. i am sure there is something better than discord at least.
