Hello, dear

This poo poo is weird. I haven't been able to keep up with everything but it's just weird how people that were all 'Lol lowtax! hey buddy!' for years are now 'gently caress you to death with pre-industrial revolution torture devices Lowtax!'

Not saying it's wrong or right, just seeing it is surreal to me.

It wasn't an overnight change. I had seen rumours mentioned for years but SA really isn't about Lowtax at all for me so I had no motivation to look into it. I'd guess a lot of people were in the same boat and had no idea what was going on all these years

No love for your made-up things.
Yeah the thing that really got me was all the people who were bragging about being ground floor of knowing lowtax is an abuser. All the “lol you guys are just now finding out about this?” stuff from people who should have been outraged if they were so concerned all this time.

Like this poo poo has never been okay and a lot of people chose to never speak of it. It shouldn’t have ever just been forums drama.

The money troubles he got people to donate over. Dear Richard got himself a $400k house, a lease on a GTR, and a freakin' Goldbelly cookie subscription (which can go for like $99 for 12 cookies) with the Patreon funds instead of anything having to do with the forums. Also the spine thing; might be based on something he needed but he's not basically bedridden most of the time like he claimed originally.

And all that we could forgive because we're all internet idiots who try to be supportive, but we must hold ourselves to a higher level of skepticism.

Um, I think you'll find he's never been found guilty of any of this in a court of law and thus he has nothing to apologize for :smug:

A lot of people did speak on it friend. On a lot of different topics of shittery he's done too. He or his lads banned them.

Speak for yourself. I want more front page articles about flags, I DEMAND more rambling excuses for--specifically Lowtax's--failed relationships, and I for one want Lowtax right here, forever.

Get real Goons. We're through teh Looking Glass here sheeppeople. There is no sale. Lawtox is here to stay. The way it should be. These are his old-rear end decrepit forums. Let him have them.

I still dont understand these 99$ cookies. What are they? Why do they cost so much? Are they made of literal gold?? My cousin brought us macarons with gold flakes in them from some fancy bakery in NYC and even they didn't cost that much :psyduck:

My :tinfoil: brain wonders if this is his loser way of trying to prove to his lawyers "The users are unfairly mean to me so I shouldn't have to sell/negotiate a much higher price for the sale"

As far as we know he's the sole owner of the site & LLC, he doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. If he decides the pricetag for somethingawful is a million billion dollars and he won't sell for a penny less, that's that. If there was a minority owner it might be different, they could make the case that a million billion dollars is stupid and by hanging on to the site Lowtax is killing the value. Alas I don't think that's in the cards.

He may be fishing around for other buyers to see if he can get more than what Jeffery can afford.

They're made with infused, hella concentrated, hand-milked Great White Shark cum. That's why they're so expensive. Its an aphrodisiac.

Lowtax making that front page article really sucks


Dude if you don't sell this site will die. It will limp along with no one buying poo poo and sooooo many of us will leave. There is a million discords to chill in for starters

No not at all. Once Jeffrey says it's not happening a fuckton of people will leave. Those that stay will fight and be miserable. A few oblivos will post but poo poo will be dead and boring and most importantly not spending money. 10 percent at most of typical on forum sales will happen. In the meantime some real excitement as new off-site is made and discords pack out.

If you actually think SA goes on as before I don't. Not this time

In any case, he's definitely poking the bear for a reason and it sucks that SA isn't going to be able to control itself until the deal is finalized.

Look man, I know you're used to stuff blowing over, but this one actually isn't blowing over. The only reason things look calm now is because there's an agreement to sell the site. Otherwise, we're just going to gently caress off like we said.
