He's become quite active in his private discord and I think a lot of people are not gonna be pleased about what he has to say.

Just need to get a bunch of these and watch the donations dry up as Lowtax continues to beg for money.

I think people are gonna start noticing that Lowtax might not be 100 percent woke.

I met him one time at a "Goon Con" event and in that moment our souls became as one.

Funny how people saying on the forums that ZDR took the money and ran after he was allowed to e-beg on the site are getting pushback, but Lowtax himself confirms that something sketchy is going on.

I always got the feeling that the current users of SA didn't care about LowT much. They just put up with him so they can keep their hugbox.

I don't think a lot of people who join SA today even really know who Lowtax is, they just know that SA is a woke place that has no room for chuds.

Everyone seems like a chud to goons because being leftist to them means acting like a huge faggot.

I went back 20 pages looking for these caps and couldn't find them so forgive me if they're old.
TL;DR: Lowtax says he's bankrupt.
I think what frustrates me about these posts is that (1) you absolutely have no excuse for not running a business as a business if you want said business to support you, and (2) if you don't expect a business to support you you should be working. It's not like Lowtax has my reputation where a conventional job is impossible for him. He could easily just work and support the site off that. I can't imagine SA has the overhead that KF does, and the KF has most of its overhead simply due to how much money I need to pay to grease up multiple levels of Internet infrastructure to get people to let me host what I want. I pay fees that are usually burdened on entire hosting companies to keep the site up, and I manage it without money from the site, not because I don't think the site could pay for itself, but because it's very very difficult to get the support mechanisms in place to allow it to.
Like a website either has to be a business or it has to be a labor of love and your business is something else. You can't have it both ways.
Edit: And this note is weak. His message should be clear and free of the fanciful and comedic language he always employs.
"I am bankrupt. Something Awful is at risk of imminent closure. We need to find a way to make this work or I can't do it anymore. What do you suggest?"
That's your post.
