The post I got probated for is here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?goto=post&postid=465276741 The reason was "Gamergate chat will be met with brute force," which is funny because people were talking about it in the thread before either of my posts about it, but pretty much everyone else was strongly against it and didn't get probated.

I don't really want to go back after this, though. The GG threads on SA were what cultivated my nuanced view of the subject, and it's a shame that my opinions on it are punishable now. I don't hate @Lowtax or anything but I understand that the forums have become like the late Holy Roman Empire, where Lowtax/the Emperor has little power and the individual forums/states basically makes their own rules. It sucks but I know it won't get any better. At least I won't get yelled at for being nuanced here.

EDIT: It also really sucks that GG didn't give SA any credit for allowing the hellthread to exist when it was up.

The "other people did it first" defence is somewhat diluted by your rap sheet.

Seriously, why the fuck would you even want to discuss GG in the D&D cesspool? It's not like you're going to get any meaningful discourse, there - especially in the garbage dump which is C-SPAM.

If you're getting probated every 6 weeks on average, you either need to lurk more or go full on FYAD and try to get probated weekly.

@Lowtax likes to blame his hotpockets for his own policies. But he actually just ignores it while they turn his site into an SJW cuck factory where expressing any opinion right of Mao Tse Tung gets you instabanned.

(OTOH I gave you a "You Are Not Dynastia" ban while you're actually Dynastia and more or less got away with that.)

The fact we even have a templated a ban for not being Dynatia is great. @Lowtax have you ever considered making Not Being Dynastia a bannable offence on Something Awful? You should.

Yeah, if you're going to whine about short probations in Hellthread and Garbage sub, you're a bigger faggot than the mods who probated you (and it's pretty hard to be a bigger faggot than genesplicer). Nobody has anything important to say in those places. Your next garbage post being delayed by 6 hours, 3 days, or even permanently, is probably only going to improve the overall quality of the thread/forum.

I'm looking at his post history now and I'm amazed he hasn't copped a ban yet. Exceptional, indeed.

Here's a guy who thinks it's A-OK not to hire someone based on who they voted for.

It sounds like he works in computer stuff but if you Google his SA name you can find lots of info on him (don't use the same user-name across multiple sites, you dingus).

Always thought the sass guys were super nostalgic for an era long gone. It makes sense the site isn't what it used to be, Dave chapelle isnt the top rated comedy show, bush isn't in office ect. I think what I legit miss is the tight nitness it used to have. You'd have fake fueds, a dedicated hentai reviewer, a music reviewer troll ect. I think it's just a matter of trying new things. The site seemed able to last forever because the internet was and is constantly changing. A new thing creates a new feature ect.

I was never a ten buck cuck so I didn't really follow any forum action except the hijinks goons got up to off-site, sort of the pre-4chan era motherfuckery that set the tone for later hijinks from 4chan itself.

I mostly read the stuff by people like @Lowtax himself, Zack Parsons, and the front page writers, and that stuff was top notch.

One of the funniest things I read there was the series of articles just hilariously ripping apart the sheer subhuman garbage that is the juggalo menace, the horrors of porn shit, and the "what the fuck Japan" that was RapeLay. I miss when you could go to SA every couple days and be pretty much guaranteed to bust a gut laughing.
 
@Lowtax, I was wondering what happened with you appearing on The Dick Show (Dick Masterson's podcast)? He had you as a guest for a couple weeks and you didn't call in and then never heard about it again. I was interested in hearing it.
 
Are you able to clarify how SA is being run now? I know the taxman sold the office, does that mean he is running SA out of his apartment? Does he still have that weird sports car?

I haven't been around Lowtax since he sold the office, but I assume he's running it out of his home now. Unless he sold the GTR I assume he still has it. I used to park my dented, ramshackle Cavalier really close to it every time I went to the SA office to freak him out.

I'm sorry that I'm such a scary 5' 1" 100 pound white girl. @Lowtax please don't stop posting here on my account. I'm sorry that I filled your office computer's search history with my buddy Minnesota Pete's 9/11 truth videos and gore hentai can we please just be cool now?

Yeah, if someone made claims that could result in my kid being taken away I'd probably hate that person until the day they die and then a few years after that for good measure. But that said she freely admits she fucked up and is pretty crazy

lowtax's crime fighting alter ego is "Kid Anthrax" and he forces his children to do "wacky oral" on him.
Wake up, sheeple!
