I view the forum namecalling a side-effect of overuse. For years, every thread in GBS, no matter the subject had the following posts beneath the OP: "I'm gay", "cuck", "kill yourself". Because this was years of terrible modding (Ralph, franco, etc) the festering byproduct was a frustrated, unstable poster who later went on to join an offsite or the Discord faggots. Sure, just like calling sissies "SJWs" or "leftards" doesn't do much these days, but if performed daily several times for months at a time, and with complete OK from shit mods, the backlash comes due in the form of "CHUD" at first, then "nazi".
Not that I'm blaming the mods for what the forums have become. These pod-people, being unstable and fragile of mind as they are will usually play their victim tokens when holding a disadvantage, only now they get to have their "enemies" banned by their queer/sympathetic mod-friends. It all means nothing: the trannies on discord playing forum gestapo would rather swarm and kill debate elsewhere, the mods don't care, lowtax doesn't care. I have no clue how there are still SA forums up and running.
 
Yeah, mocking troons for anything became verboten due to muh transphobia, then it creeped into anything that mocked women, etc.

Literally A Bird let her buddies run the show in effect.

And this is why C-SPAM will not close, honestly.
 
dance dance if you want said:
Yeah, Lowtax can’t afford another $3000 loss from that. I don’t think he realized how much of a hit closing FYAD would be, so twisting his arm about this would surely make him meltdown at the mods and admins if they even hint at closing it.

It was just a couple grand a month. Since he has a humiliation fetish, apparently all that delicious troon jizz down his throat was worth losing a couple dozen Goldbelly pies a month.

SA is basically on a subscription model and Lowtax should honestly just go all into it and give his backers extra rights and privileges. You shouldn’t toss away the only people still cucked enough to give you money, Lowtax. Most of the site fucking hates you and have nowhere else to go, but those 1300 people are hellbent on going down with the titanic. They’re absolutely the sort of people who would take a bullet for Joe Biden no matter who he raped.

Granted those 1300 people were well over 2000 a year ago, but I’m sure this in no way indicates a trend.
 
I want to know, when Something Awful is finally destroyed or Lowtax sells the farm, what he's going to do after all of this? Dude is a manchild that has literally no talents or abilities, he's absolutely pathetic in every way possible... what the fuck does he do after this? Would a McDonalds even hire him?

He will huff paint in Walmart parking lots until he gets arrested for peeing on a child and spends the rest of his life as a ward of the state.

SA is not going to die, as much as it should. The necrosis-ridden form of SA is going to shamble along until Lowtax is either dead or ready to collect social security.

Let's keep this in perspective: After killing FYAD and kowtowing to trannies and tankies but not enough, and being outted as spending forum revenue to cheat on his wife with coked-out mormon strange, the drop in patreon revenue cost lowtax $60,000 a year. But he is still making $96,000/yr, and that's just from patreon. Assuming the usual gradual melt, Patreon will still be making over $50,000 for the forseeable future - that is over 3 Doobies. And even assuming he is getting just utterly destroyed on taxes at 50%, that is over $2,000 a month in bumfuck missouri and he essentially owns his home.

Lowtax's mom is rich, and knows her son is a pillhead, so will likely put him on some sort of annunity when bonecancer takes her. So hes going to either get to mooch of his mother, or have inheritance to buoy him along until he's retirement age.


Anyway, to answer your question the answer is probably kill himself, likely with pills and booze, maybe intentionally.

It's not going to die immediately, it's just going to suffer heat death later on.

Well that's one way to make money. Have someone dumb enough pay for this and then ban them and they won't get their hard earned money back.

There's special laws about digital goods that last less than 24 hours, created to stop online gambling workarounds. So, if you pay them, and they decide that you're not worthy, they have to refund you, or they're in violation.

SA is currently not allowing threads on the US General Election.

Remind me why there's any reason to prefer SA over ResetERA, at this point? :story:

There are pretty firm battle lines drawn, based on my observation. ResetERA staff support Biden and ban anyone who doesn’t; SA staff used to support Bernie but now the userbase primarily supports torching the entire system via any necessary means, including terrorism, revolution, and genocide. A growing number of goons believe that re-electing Trump will accelerate this outcome, and thus support him.

I didn’t hear that they outright banned General Election discussions, though.

e: It looks like they locked the D&D General Election thread four days ago with the following message:

Can’t tell whether electiontalk has been shuttered in CSPAM yet, but it’s fucking amazing that the thread got this bad.
