Now I'm no gordon gecko business tycoon here, but it sounds to me like maybe you should try actually moderating and running your sole source of income yourself instead of handing over the reins to a convicted pedophile (aatrek), unfunny catladies (ozma fat, icequeen, etc), and random sadbrains you brought on without vetting who would actually be willing to run someone else's cash cow for free.

What normal person would want to constantly monitor a board full of exceptional individuals all day? Especially when you've got people willing to do it for free.

great idea, I'll get rid of the pedos and catladies right now

oh wait they have all been gone for years, are there any other admins who banned you in 2002 that you're still enraged over

also, as much as you like to embellish shit and say ridiculous crap like "handing over the reins to a convicted pedophile," the dude modded a TV FORUM. He posted TV schedules. And if any of us knew he was a fucking pedo, he would've been permabanned the moment we knew. I love how Aatrek has become the butthurt rallying cry against SA, like we are expected to run criminal background checks on people who want to mod the book forum. if there was like some sort of pattern here and mods kept getting busted for pedo shit, then maybe you'd have a point, but over 800 people have been mods in the past 16 years and 1 turned out to be a fucked up pedo. not representative of the whole.

I told the furries (long ago) that we'd create a safe space for them if they admitted they were a furry. Then we got the list of them, I changed their AVs to the Star of Yiff, and confined them to a forum called something like the "Furry Funhouse" where they could talk about yiffing and fucking Chip and Dale and whatever they like. They were not able to post anywhere else. After a week, I used CSS to make green glass clouds fill their forum and murdered all their accounts. It was quite funny.

It took me a few years to appreciate the humor in this. I don't blame you at all because sometimes I wish I could do the same.

I don't think the thin-skinned 40 year old that got ran off his own internet forums because people were being mean to him on the internet is in any place to play the 'ur mad' card but ok lowtax whatever you say. You are doing all the right things and the fact that you're begging goons for money to upgrade your website while admitting your revenue has crashed has us all convinced.

criminal background checks? how about you just use that fancy google.com and type in his name, that shit was all over the internet.

uh what

Who started the rumor "I was run off my own internet forums?" I wasn't run off, I just decided to start focusing on backend shit and didn't really feel like posting there because I didn't enjoy it. I've been running SA for 17 years now; if I was so thin-skinned, I would've shut it down day one. Seriously, do you realize how fucking gay your claim is? People have been hating me every hour of every day of every year. Who gives a shit, it's the internet and you dudes with wacko grudges obviously don't have much else going on in your lives, so I honestly don't care who hates me and why.

I understand you're one of those people who came here to go back to your buds and say "haha look im owning lowtax epic kek lulz ftw," but if you'd take a second to like objectively think about what you're claiming, you'd realize your brain is a goddamn trainwreck of defective logic. What does declining revenue have to do with me saying there are no catladies and pedos on the administrative team and there haven't been for years? Your brain is fucked, son

None of us knew his real name until you nice folks at SS doxed him, as we generally do not dox or do criminal background checks on TV forum mods.

lmao, huh? what "backend shit" have you been working on for the last ten odd years besides sitting on your ass in bumfuck, missouri playing video games and avoiding getting a job? your website is a shitshow that you constantly complain needs to be reworked, if you're working on "backend shit" it's def not showing.

you're on a website devoted to laughing at weirdos on the internet, posting in a thread devoted to you. someone comes along and decides to laugh at the 45 year old manchild that hasn't had a job in ten years and can't even bother to keep his website running and all of a sudden they're some obsessed loser?

wow, you got me lowtax. i mean it's not like having had frumpy, ban-happy middle aged women running your comedy website that's built its revenue off its userbase could have had long-term consequences which would effect things down the line. it's not like your years of absenteeism (aherm, excuse me, important 'backend shit') where you had a host of weirdos interacting with your primary revenue source could have led to this point at all. nope, must just be that economy.

sorry grandpa bare with me here for a moment but by "dox" do you mean "use google.com"? are you implying that you use the google dot com with other mod forums (just not TV forums) or do you just not check on them at all because just a couple posts ago you seemed pretty confident aatrek was the only pedo mod but now it sounds like aatrek was the only pedo mod you were aware of and you don't even bother learning the names of people you entrust your business to.

You're a delightfully salty individual. You gonna ask for your 10 bux back, too?

Indeed.
 
Can we all just admit that @Lowtax has acquitted himself competently here and quit pretending that shit-talking him is something like shooting Billy the Kid?
 
@Lowtax Moving to Xenforo is a good idea. Good job. I'm glad your brief posting adventures here are producing results for SA.

lol

no one except lowtax thinks that he's a big deal or sees making fun of a washed up "comedy writer" who's last paying gig was in the previous century as some kind of notch on our belt. we're all just laughing at the guy who's reaping what he sowed.

Gonna have to agree.

Not a fan of SA by any means, but the guy who created it has acted a lot more mature than I've expected, and I'm going to return the favor by treating him like an adult so long as he continues to do the same.
