Fair enough, the ball got rolling kind of late today on this. Should be interesting to see the state of things, this time tomorrow though.

We'll find out at the end of the month, most likely, there probably won't be much activity tomorrow.

It's been dropping like a rock first day of every new month, then rallying a little before dropping again, for quite some time.
 
Jeeze you stop looking at the forum for a few days and then something like this happens

Also there's totally an abuse pattern here than you can see in play just from past few days of posts

MapleWife used to make ambigious posts where she might be joking about Richard's zany antics, but later wh hindsight seem to be more depressingly true of how hair-trigger his temper is. Logan made a post just days ago about Richard legit getting pissy about a flushed turd (???)

MapleWife was also told about how crazy and vengeful Megan the ex was. Logan made a post just days before bragging that the ex was obessing over her posts while she got face fillers and planned boob jobs. Common abuse tactic to tell the newbie that they are clearly special and all the exes are crazy harpies who are just jelly they lost out on a good thing.

Then something happens, but after a long chat it turns out the thing didn't happen because he told you it didn't. I mean for hecksakes - what if Sloane had woken him up? Kids are even less likely to respect daddy's special medicine rest time and likely will take a harder hit from the sweaty foot backhander. I think MapleWife also got talked to and told her concerns with his conduct in the relationship were dumb too.

Also I believe the posts are Logan and not Richard. While it's weird, it's totally written in the way I would expect a scared lass who has been told to "fix this mess" would write.

Here's my reasoning for thinking its lowtax:

a) The post is filled entirely with zany Lowtax brand humor from the username on.
b) Lowtax knows about KF and has posted here in the past.

So I think this was a slide tactic.
My theory?
a) Lowtax backhands Logan or something bad happens.
b) Lowtax realizes "oh shit, kiwifarms exists"
c) Some box wine and ambien later, he comes up with a brilliant idea - let's preempt the disaster and post in the KF thread and make it look like Logan is a crazy attention whore. Moreover, he may even have access to her social media accounts...
d) Logan finally posts about a real issue on facebook and looks crazy because she was just found out posting on KF.
 
If we could get a bunch of disillusioned goons to come here & give Null tenbux, we could improve his financial situation. 🤔

It'd be hilarious if SA tanked because of this (though I seriously doubt it, but play along for a second.) Our grorious reader could surreptitiously purchase it for pennies on the dollar, gave it a much-needed Xenforo upgrade, & let it revert to the old SA while changing nothing else (by which I mean not changing all the accoutrements & benefits that tenbux can net you). Then he can stick someone else in charge, & have them funnel money to him through some sort of improvised person-to-person network to get around banks refusing services & cancelled payment processors.

. . .I just described money laundering, didn't I.

I thought I was on to something. 😔

Goons are getting a tad delusional about the idea of there being a Something Awful without Lowtax.

Slappy probably drank himself to sleep, probably not even terribly convinced that this entire mess is a pivotal moment. Judging by the snowballing in the now stickied GBS thread, he might be fucked more than he is aware. Or, maybe not, I don't know. It's been a fucking weird past four years, and a really fucking weird past four months. All bets are off.

If this IS the death knell, I figure he's either going to sell off the site to the best bidder who will take it, and then buy as much hard alcohol as he can and soft-reboot Leaving Las Vegas.

Or, before he can even manage to sell SA off, he just nopes out on an OD.
 
I seriously don't understand all the goons in that thread posting about how they don't want to go to reddit, or have no place else to post. How is the thought of posting on a competently-run, successful and relevant website so frightening to them?

They think they've built up some kind of reputation equity on SA, like it matters in any tangible fashion, and loathe the idea of starting over.
