I wonder why no one brings up shmorky, and kiwi farms in that thread.

Edit nevermind found this


Asking for real advice okay



Oh shit its was a trap



Okay if the issue is just 1% of the forums complaining than it would even fucking matter and the 1% could be banned in no time.

Also note the space camp was banned for that post but the banned for this post doesnt show..hmm lets look at his rap sheet.






huh whats this rummor he was spreading?



Oh so they arent allowed to talk about that.



Also real talk about skullmund, I went there a few weeks back and anyone can correct me on the history cause I just poked around, but it seems some goon refugees went into an old trout fishing forum that was abandoned, brought up the traffic to the point where the own noticed and then they went on to make skullmond.

If you have SA forum personalities that have enough pull to bring people over or to make another forum viable THEN YOU ARE FUCKING CREATING YOUR OWN COMPETITION.

AGAIN YOU ARE CREATING YOUR OWN COMPETITION,

THEY DIDNT NEED BLACK JACK OR HOOKERS

The reason 99% of the people on SA agree with the moderation is that is the shit left at the bottom once everyone that has ever had a funny thought has been banned in the thousands by people like ozma, ralp, franco, factsareuseless and lowtax himself.

"Hmmmmmm Sure seems like the people still able to post agree with our completely inconsistent and authoritarian censorship. This makes sense."

He is going on a tirade in GBS right now, things must be pretty bad.

What's funny is he is still completely ignoring any rational advice and is just complaining about his inability to do anything while ranting about krusty the clown or something. I give SA till January.

the clown shit is just posting a probatable image and trying to make them decent enough to not get the probation. what lowtax calls the krusty krew (mostly skullmund guys) don't post krusty outside of GBS because you don't get probated for it. it's an old game on SA and it's weird that everyone's just forgotten what's going on
 
Boasting that 99% of your customers are happy right after saying that your revenue is tanking and nobody is buying new accounts.

:stress:

I was thinking the same thing when I read that. They've tapped the well dry and people aren't coming back after being banned like they used to. No one is going to spend their money just to be banned by a mod with an agenda. Now you're left with a demographic that doesn't spend money.

How can Lowtax claim to like Internet humor when he can't see the humor in a bunch of people getting banned from a forum because they had an avatar of Krusty?

too much boxed wine

also :autism:
 
Lowtax is extremely bipolar and self medicates with booze and pills. His first wife left him for it, his 2nd will too when she realizes that she can't provide their kid with a healthy life around his father, once again, same as the last time.

The guy lost an internet slapfight with a self admitted bipolar schizo chick that was banging his trans-diaper-furry ex-bestfriend because she provided much better self awareness. Think about that, getting demolished by a well documented SEVERELY MENTALLY UNSTABLE PERSON because you have ZERO self-awareness as to the crux of your own issues. And to the point where you now flee any community where her name is mentioned. Lowtax is a fucking joke of a human-being, but the punch line seems to get darker and darker everytime he clicks "post"
 
This lowtax rollercoaster is definitely some kinda mental illness.

He appears out of nowhere asking for money, ignoring anything anyone tells him then disappears.

He appears out of nowhere a few months later declaring the site is cratering, declaring a new age of less moderation and things changing is dawning then disappears.

He appears out of nowhere again, trying to shill his website and a drawing livestream begging for money talking about how the site is dying, then turns that GBS thread into a graveyard banning people who are telling him that moderation is too strict.

Other than choosing the exact wrong thing at every choice, which might be intentional at this point, he seems angry at having to do anything at all but the site almost being dead is forcing him to do things which apparently is to draw pictures and try and become a podcast?? while basically arguing with himself on what moderation should be??

At least he isn't monetizing his customers at all and seems to be wanting to be a youtube/podcast/twitch celebrity. Which makes perfect sense.

Speaking of money problems lowtax posted an announcement that forum revenue for the summer is 8% of where it's supposed to be. Since Xenforo 2 has been delayed he decided to use money raised for the forum migration to keep the current forums running. He's totally not using it for personal expenses!

When he talks of 8% I wonder how he defines where his revenue "should be at".

How could he monetize them? Also the end celeb thing is stupid, and fuck to do a podcast, twitch, youtube channel. Will take a lot of work timewise, there is no way someone as lazy as him will be able to do one let alone 3.

Plus the money isn't that good unless you hit it super big.

People have been telling him for years to start a patreon for the forums or sell SA merchandise. He absolutely 100% refuses. He won't even make a free t-shirt campaign that anyone can do that requires zero work and he gets a cut of the profits. These would be the two best ways to milk his remaining 6,000-10,000 users.

Instead he shows up every few months trying to be a youtube gaming channel, a twitch streamer and now a podcast. Failing every time because nobody fucking cares.

It was increasingly funny every time he appeared to complain about not having any money but now he is making a big begging post saying revenue is down 92%, begging people to listen to his podcast and complaining about how bad the forums are, while still refusing to do the slightest work or do the easiest things he could make money with because they require more than 0.0% effort on his part.

It's bizarre seeing someone scared their 20 year free ride is coming to an end desperately trying to be as lazy as fucking possible about doing anything about it. His entire contribution has been to actively ignore people telling him things that could help and bitching about how his meal ticket sucks and how he is incapable of doing anything about it.

Probably the amount needed to keep the bills paid. He also probably took the forum migration money to pay his tax bill.

He actually says as much in his big ask for cash post. Xenforo 2.0 is taking so long he is using the migration money to keep the forums open since revenue is down 92%

From the thread capped earlier:
Here are Lowtax's posts: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3828993&userid=27691

And it's weird to see the constant probating of people for "racism" and "homophobia" when they call each other faggots or whatever complained about for not going far enough in making SA a hugbox.

The user he uses as an example is Secular Humanist(Rap Sheet):

The "misquoting Zuckerberg" one is great, because this is the thread he posted:

""Blacks" is a term that went out of favor when I was a boy. And remember how old I am. You could have said the same thing and not sounded like a racist git. Try harder next time."

The whole "you're not allowed to say blacks" thing seems like it was maybe exported from Negrotown?

The best part of that is that lowtax led the charge on the moderation stifling free speech and pushed for "bad words" to be allowed, thats when ZenDeathRobot threw a hissy fit and lowtax vaporized like a genie until showing up last night to cry about how the moderation doesn't go too far enough melting down about needing money and blaming it on people who complain and krusty the clown.
 
I honestly think hes humiliated that he's been brought so low and many of his goon minions know all the details, particularly the parts about booze and pills. He pops in to beg for money because he has no choice, lashes out because his ego is wounded, and retreats.
