what really sad is if you look at the PA guys they worked and build a nice little empire. lowtax coulda gone to a jr college got some wacky zanny articles and honestly just find a part time gig that woulda kept him safe from the depression of being bored and maybe help him grow as a person.

lately i ve been reading about maddox and watch madcucks videos i really think we need have those two make a reality show together it would be great.

lowtax hates his audience so he would never have done what the PA guys did. however he could have just gotten a full time job a long time ago and socked away all the money he made on that and lived off the forums money.

The PA guys are a case study of sacking up & ...I don't know if I'd call it unfucking their lives so much as "keeping your life from turning into a cesspool of misery and e-drama despite the pressures pushing for that to be the result"
They've got tons of lolcow qualities: SOCIAL ANXIETY, still angry at their dads, etc. But they managed to get over their issues, turn their webcomic into a business they head competently, get married JUST ONCE and breed, and generally keep out of pissant internet slapfights except for maybe once every couple of years for a week or two.

Maddox is a case study of growing-up-while-trying-to-act-like-you-haven't. And failing at it.

I think a Lowtax/Maddox odd couple reality show would be pretty entertaining. It would like a race to make the other one feel better about how their life turned out.
 
Lowtax actually earned very decently with SA for quite a while though. If he'd just been a bit smart and reinvested that money, he'd probably not have the trouble he's in now. He was just exceedingly lazy for over a decade and left his sole source of income to rot unattended until it barely is profitable anymore now. I find it hard to feel sorry for him. Life gave him a very good chance and he squandered it.
 
Hey don't forget Lowtax is constantly drenched with sweat d/t hyperhydrosis.

looks like lowtax is getting ready to bounce again, but before he leaves he wants goons to know he’s flat broke and still can’t pay his taxes. Also, his wife has lupus and the donation link is at the top of the page.

Nigga you make your money on the internet you're not tied to a job in the States. Move to Canada or somewhere in Asia with cheaper healthcare/surgeons and get the work done there.

Seriously. Half your tenbux transactions come from troons with first hand knowledge of the quality and cost effectiveness of the Thai medical system.

I think best example is/was goon con. goons organized it and there was some success and lulz. some goon paid 400 bucks for a blow job.

Then lowtax wanted to have it at his house, when he was told "yeah thats an idea...we'll consider it, but it might be best to consider places that have stuff to do" He fucking gassed the thread. And killed it.

This is my favourite gooncon story. Not only did he pay $400, he also didn't finish (she bailed without making him cum) and he immediately confessed it to some other goon who told everyone. :story:

Shit like this is why I despise the guy, he is just so fucking shallow, and my cock gets ever harder with his continued downward, self inflicted spiral into obscurity.
 
If LowT sold his car, how is he gonna get to the liquor store doctor's office when Ashli's at her job that she's gonna be inevitably forced to get?

And how is he gonna get dat goonette pussy wet when Ashli inevitably leaves him and he's forced to find another cum sleeve to impregnate?

Ha! I remember that. I had no plans on going to any goonmeet or anything, but this is probably when my opinion began to sour towards LT. He really couldn't get it through his head that people spending money and time on an out-of-town trip would rather go somewhere more interesting than a Kansas City suburb. The tantrum he threw was so hilariously petty. Way to build a community there, champ.
 
Lol I forgot about that. The gooncon in Vegas had a good turnout and was a success overall. He could have just had it in Vegas every summer until it died on its own, but lowtax had the bright idea of having it in Lee’s summit Missouri.

Yeah, just imagine if Lowtax had been someone with drive instead of the laziest lolWACKY faggot who ever stumbled on success.

He could have kept having Gooncon in Vegas - people who aren't sure about attending will come because fuck it, worse case is I ditch the nerds and do vegas shit. Its a few dozen people at the start sure, but you could probably get some of the goons who work for goon-centric industries to get their companies to 'sponsor' the event: send some swag & samples, maybe buy snacks & pizza while they give a talk. Indie goons pimp their own projects. More people come next year, eventually you end up with your own mini-PAX, and the event starts paying for itself.

The only expense for lowtax is getting to vegas and maybe his own hotel room (he could probably just collect registration fees from goons for that; he's already got a portal to collect payment) the only work is calling the hotel and asking them to set aside a block of rooms, which they'll do for free upto a certain date. Everyone just gets their own rooms, the con is in the rooms themselves.
This was too much work for Low-T.

The first goon con had a good turnout. All he had to do was schedule it for a certain weekend and tell goons to come. Instead he wanted to have it in fucking lee's summit missouri
 
Considering the horror stories that came out of stuff like gooncamp I wouldn’t want any of those nasty fucks in my house. You’d have to burn it down afterwards.

It couldn't be any worse than half of anything that's showed up in this forum. What kind of horror stories?
