Holy shit, it's just an ad for site you can choose NOT to visit.

Hell, I ignore ads trying to get me visit crappy sites where I can't use adblock or the site is hard to use, and I don't shriek like a banshee because the choice to visit or give a shit is mine alone.

The fact Lowtax is bending over and taking it from these invertebrates as opposed to just taking the money and telling them to adhere to their own site motto and quit letting the internet make them stupid is just pathetic.
 
Put up ads linking to helldump archives and other SA content that's been memory holed for being "offensive." Put them in the weird position where they freak out over their own content and demand it be removed.

Real talk, does anyone actively participating in this thread laughing at Something Awful actually post on Something Awful? I think it's a fairly safe bet that 100% of the Kiwis who have non-banned SA accounts are using them purely to obtain screenshots of their meltdowns.

It's not worth the effort to password reset just to get b&4kiwi.
 
So....if lowtax keeps shutting down the ads, then we do chargebacks and so not actually invoke any costs, is there any reason why we can't keep doing this indefinatly?

Edit-I mean the drunken faggot is going to want to stumble back to his lazy boy and ambien shortly right?

I'm really surprised he didn't just ignore it. Like his forums, for years.

I’m pretty sure lowtax doesnt care but you can bet FAU was a massive whiny cunt about it. He was probably pissing and moaning in the mod forum.

I haven’t posted on my account in years, it’s not banned. I just use it to laugh at the troons and Brittany/Koalas March from time to time.

Yes, sadly there is a legit reason that couldn't happen indefinitely.
...That reason is because after enough chargebacks, Lowtax's payment processor will suspend his access pending an investigation into why. Lowtax is likely going to be having to do more work in the near future to keep his passive income stream going.

Did botany get banned for calling Lowtax "severely troubled", because that's what it looks like.

Sure appears so.
 
It's funny that they even dropped any pretense about "totally not being mad". I know I pissed a lot on SA and some of it was also hyperbole for shits and giggles but seriously now - how sad can you be? It's a fucking ad banner, guys. Especially considering that it is some tiny thing you have to scroll down to even see if you run a modern resolution and don't happen to have a monitor that's a 1024x768 CRT. (knowing that goons are broke-ass NEETs, that might have actually been the problem) It doesn't even show up on every pageload. You can even block it with uBlock by just clicking on it. (Again, uBlock might not work well on that Pentium 4)

If goons reading this think they somehow "won the battle" here, nah you guys lost. In a very loud and sad way. Like an autistic kid flailing and flopping around on the floor because it lost in Super Mario Kart, to insert a reference goons will get. Yes, that sad.
 
Also its time to man up, and admit I was wrong.

I thought that if you were going to troll Lowtax by giving him money*, you were the one being trolled.
This still generally true, but this thread has shown me there is a deeper truth:
If you plan to troll Lowtax by giving him money, and he has to give the money back, you can take trolling Dear Richard to levels only previously achieved by Radium.

This was a truly enlightening satsung.



*(And @Null calm your tits, even if lowtax hadn't bowed to screeching troons allowing you file a chargeback, $30 for all those SA meltdowns would have been a bargain. It was more for the unfunny faggots who would have gone and bought like 10 more ads, each more unfunny and autistic than the last.)

Of course I’m charging the banner back. Hope null does too.

No. Someone noticed Wepper's post here inadvertently had a yellow quote box in it for a Botany post. Meaning that he was the one posting here about buying the ads so people demanded he be banned.

Ah. This post confused me, so I thought it must have been this poster who who got outed (Weppers' attachment is gone now).

Lowtax, I'm sure there's people here who know more about you than yourself.

Hey, those weren't fake! They were completely real! You should know, you said them!

My boy Eric has been branded as a heretic. I will not let this stand! Or I would, if I weren't immobile.

Despite the disappearance of the ads, goons are now eating each other alive. This simple arrangement of pixels in a banner at the bottom has created a lasting shockwave throughout the community.
