Lol I know right, I mean you're obviously pretty busy out there in Missouri why would anyone expect a business owner to have a clue about who his staff is or how they interact with their customers. Jesus Christ you have video games to play and jokes to tweet you can't be pissing away all your time making sure that your staff aren't weirdos with pedophiliac tendencies!

Staff are different from volunteers. If you think I know any of my moderators or what their criminal records are you're out of your mind. I am not privileged to that information.

Do you know if the guy you fly out and let around your children regularly draws porn of child-like characters or is that also too much to expect

Okay, last time I'm going to attempt to clear it up for you dense folk: in the 16 years of the forums, we've had one single mod who turned out to be a pedo, unbeknownst to everybody, and he was immediately permabanned.

But I know nothing I say will change your mind and logic doesn't play a major role in your worldview, so congrats, you have joined the exclusive ranks of Doctor Jizz and whoever that other guy was, in the wonderful enchanting world of Illogically Mad Delusional Stalkers on the internet. Your membership badge and complimentary travel size hair care products will arrive in the mail shortly.

I wouldn't really call Shmorky's blobs child-like, but then again I wouldn't know what to call them. Though I'd be confident letting him around my kids because he'd know if he tried shit I'd burn him alive.

If you could provide me with examples / links of every mod acting that way, I'd be more than happy to investigate and resolve anything improper they have done. See, this is the major issue that complicates things for me: when people say "all your mods do this" or "this mod does that," nobody includes links to threads where this is occurring. If there's honestly a problem with the mod's behaviour, I would be more than happy to investigate it and give my explanation or opinion, and if need be, discuss it with the mod.

The morons who parrot the whole "LOWTAX LET SHMORKY BABYSIT HIS KIDS AND HE SLEPT IN BED WITH THEM AND NOW THEY'RE PREGNANT WITH HALF KLURFS" don't have any idea what they're talking about.

1) My kids were never alone with shmorky.
2) The only time my kids were near shmorky was when they came to my office, and they drew together in the front lobby, where I could see
3) When shmorky started getting all megatumblr-y and his voice began imitating a rusty door, I stopped allowing my kids to come by. Additionally, they didn't even want to come by because, as they told me, "Shmorky got weirder and gross."

We just rebooted GBS and went back to the rules of those days, so if it's a funny thread and not just hate speech, then I've got no issues with it!

I'm looking forward to the constant drama as the leftist SJWs that make up the majority of SA's current user base flag everything as hate speech for the leftist mods and admins to delete (and no funny content at all is posted because people aren't creative in an environment where they have to walk on eggshells).

Plenty of content for this thread and also for SS.

You can never make leftists happy with censorship, Lowtax. Once they smell weakness they'll always demand that you go further. "Hate speech" is literally being defined as gorilla memes and frog pictures and the list of things that you have to do to pass the leftist purity tests gets longer every day.

Although, thinking about it, if you weren't lazy and incompetent you could actually turn a decent profit exploiting these retаrds by setting up a system where they can pay money to vent their hatred at normal society. You already have the feature of users being able to buy custom titles and avatars for people who commit wrongthink, if you extended this type of thing and plugged it into their desire to virtue signal then the jobless social science/women's studies majors could be herded into providing you with their pocket money/welfare as a regular commitment.

For example: have a board that covers the subject of current events allow users to buy adornments for each other's posts that symbolize an endorsement, and have the ones adorned the most featured in a weekly awards thread that gets posted onto the greater internet.
The way these sperglords chimp out over the little blue star on twitter that shows you suck SJW dick... Can you imagine the money you make preying on the self-importance of these college liberals, allowing them to feel self-worth for a moment for the low price of a few bux?

Have pages dedicated to celebrities and politicians that leftists don't like, basically a type of Wiki, and implement a feature that allows people to pay to have their incredibly clever jokes, observations and political statements ("DAE le Drumpf = literally Hitler? More like RethugKKKlicans! Capitalism is violence!") featured on these pages then post the "best" of these on sites like twitter (along with SA's URL, of course).
You could transfigure your otherwise worthless menagerie of depressive societal dregs into that sweet Ambien money.

Or am I putting too much thought into the running of your website (meaning more in this one post than you have in all the years you've been running it)?

I've asked this before but didn't receive an answer.

Why were you and the admins in charge allowing people to be chain probated for posts they made in fyad months and sometimes over a year ago? This was also asked in the qcs forum but the thread was closed and no admin ever addressed it. It looks like it's finally been stopped and I hope it doesn't happen again.

What happened between Lowtax and Shmorky that they had/have an internet feud?
Click to expand...
Shmorky dated a girl with mental issues who, among other things, accused Lowtax of being abusive towards his kids. There was a big thread about it on the farms complete with Shmorky using the mickey voice to plead with people (cops, maybe?) to help him (too late, you lunatic.)
 
Hey Lowtax, I feel ya brah. Even after such a short time, I have to admit I can see the shine comes off running your own forum.

I got an idea, wanna switch forums? You won't make a lot of money on SS but it is pretty cheap to run. We've only got like 5 declared unironic fascists, so don't get too scared off!
